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

Mephistopheles found him first, this boy is laughing at you all:


All arguing about the past as usual, this generation of guitarists has created entirely new levels. The future should scare you, they are epic.

just a slightly above average dick face playing scales. No creativity. Boring-ass scales player.

Lets see him write a song that people will listen to. No one will listen to this garbage.

There are so many great guitarists, alot of old guitar gods like vai, satriani, guthrie and so, but also alot of new amazing players, ichika nito, tim henson, emanuel gardner

just to name a few mainstream ones

and some old ones ;D making waves still
the solo is pretty good


you don't really fully understand how difficult some of it is to play before you start playing yourself

ODerus Urungus!

Do they really?

Not once in my lifetime have I ever known of anyone to have that conversation.

BRING BACK THE BOMB!

We are the Scumdogs of the Universe!

God do i miss Oderus.

Thanks for the offer, I deleted my account last year, I was a user here since before Trinity, but recently removed my account due to some people, therefore I switched to AC to avoid the banter.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eddie Van Halen.

Lol, I'm a guitar player too, all of those guys are great, Jeff beck is the guitar players guitarist and you didn't even mention him, lol, he's probably guthries favourite player, but for you to not mention beck says volumes

What people think is hard to play on guitar vs what truly is hard to play.

Here's Lucas Imbiriba showing his Monster skills.

The best ones improvise on the spot.

They let the music flow out of them.


The worst ones can only play set pieces. They are not really musicians at all. Doesn't matter how technically perfect or complete they are, if they can't improvise on the spot, they are not full of the Music which flows from true musicians.

Clapton could improvise on the spot, so could Jimi Hendrix.

Not many of the modern ones can. They have to construct what they are going to play. That is not very musical.

I didn't check the whole thread ,but if theres no Roy Buchanan mentioned, you don't have a real thread on greatest guitarists
same goes for Rory Gallagher
Honorable mention of Jerry Garcia is also duly noted

Tool has a pretty unique guitar sound.
Also, the AC/DC Thunderstruck rift was pretty impressive.

that one running riff by Frusciante in that one song is harder to play

I dig the red packing tape Golpeador. Nice touch. Sweet Ibanez, too.

No one cares. Its not important.
Not really.

Name that tune.

Yes, one of the greatest moments in guitar history.

I noodle as well... talented for sure but best ?

Genre is the criteria for anyone saying greatest, there is no greatest.

Ritchie Blackmore used to be my favourite but now it's Michael Schenker

Frusciante is a beast, the RHCP are such a waste of his talent. ( as well as Flea's )

I'd also pick Schenker in a fist fight over most of the guitarists mentioned in this thread.
