Lots of people talk about who the greatest guitar player of all time might be

no you posted this because YOU WANT a discussion

hey, this kind of barber shop talk can be fun (although I didnt know long haired fairies got haircuts) but try and be honest for once in your miserable existence, howbowdah op?

Meh

Not very creative

I suppose it’s a challenge defying anyone to show me a better example of guitar mastery. Guthrie is your favorite guitar player’s favorite guitar player. Wtf does howbowda mean anyway? Sounds like something somebody from New England might say… Boston or New York. Something like that

Wut?

Video wont load, but if its not Buckethead your wrong.

Guthrie is buckethead’s favorite guitar player. Buckethead is great, Guthrie is beyond buckethead. It’s a fact, not an opinion.

Have another

Prince was by far one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. After watching this video, no question this guy is equally good, however, Prince had a way of becoming one with his guitar while performing. I don't get that from this guy.

Dude can whip through scales, no doubt.
I like what John Lee Hooker's dad once told him: "Fast don't mean good, boy."

No depth and not creative. Just an average player by any standard.

Guthrie is the guitarist’s guitarist. Having played over 20 years myself in a number of bands with dozens of musicians of many genres, we all agree that Guthrie is by far the greatest. Buckethead, bonamassa, Johnny winter, John petrucci, Steve vai, Marty Friedman, all great guitar players. Virtuosos. Guthrie is in a class of his own.

Lol who is better? Hendrix? Lol jimmy page?

Fingerpickers.
Tommy Emmanuel, Bruce Cockburn, etc.
Any kid can shred.

And yet you didnt mention holdsworth

Are any of you over 10?

Even Tommy Immanuel puts these guys to shame, not to mention Segovia.

I actually think he and Y.J Malmsteen have similar style.

He's fit noithing on joe pass. Anyone can play fancy with distortion. He plays clean and still shreds.

Thinking about this last evening. I believe Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most underrated guitarists.

No one guitarist is the greatest, there are to many.

Many argue Django Reinhardt was.

The most difficult of performances is being able to sing a difficult set of lyrics while playing a complex guitar riff solo. Few do it well. Buckingham is one of the best in the world at it...



(Impatient people can skip the first 45-seconds)

This is typically a Sunday evening pin, but I'll give you a doom break pin today.

Doom break tacos and doom break guitar discussion.

What makes Django great is the fact that he played with two fingers due to an injury suffered in a fire as a child.

A match made in heaven.

I think the jazz guitar players are way ahead of the metal guys. Look up Joe pass !

I love finger style. I like Tommy. But there is a way to quantify the discussion past what we think sounds good. It comes down to: 1) the application of a variety of techniques 2) speed 3) key signature and key changes

I’ve still yet to see anyone beat Guthrie. Tommy rarely leaves the key of E and never bends a string.

Boring...

Yea Tommy Emmanuel is one of the greats definitely better than OP video but the true OG Guitar master is

Paco de Lucia
