Greatist Guitarist In your opinion

[jesse194]

Post who you think is the best guitarist ever.

My Favorite: Dave Mustaine

[leet_name]

Randy Rhoads and Jimi Hendrix (can't just say one)

[Makrin]

My favorite is Will Ackerman. Doubt you folks would've heard of him, but he's great.

[Kade]

Myself.

[Pascall]

Hendrix. No doubt.

[Sitkero]

I don't know.
I think all the true titans of guitar were the best in their own respect.
If I was forced to choose, I guess I'd go with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[Rad McCool]

Yngwie.

[HWECQI]

Greatest :downs:

[redstar2424]

while I have to agree with in that MegaDave is the a fucking excellent guitarist, he is not a lead guitarist but rather an amazing rhythm guitar player, riffs just pop out of nowhere for him. I know this seems like a fanboy typical fanboy post so I will put him in second place just behind Jimmy Page, and in third Tommy Iommi.

[zukriuchen]

None, I'd have a list of at least 30 in 1st place. But I'd say that Dave Mustaine and Jimi Hendrix are pretty cool.

[Busymonkey]

Engineer

[Beartato]

Marty Friedman

[Samsung]

Brad Barr

[Tinter]

Marty mcfly :downs:

I can't actually choose one, but Jimmy Hendrix is "pretty good."

[Chex]

I say either Jason Becker or Yngwie Malmsteen.

Or my late father, who could play like Becker and Malmsteed had a lovechild together.

[rabbid666]

Angus Young

[Lord of Ears]

AND HE KNOWS KARATE

[Alex533]

For writing the best riffs it has to be James Hetfield. For technicality it's either Yngwie or michaelangelo batio.

[mfb412]

Batio for technicality, without a doubt.
Mustaine for being able to sing and do lead
James hetfield for riffs
norifumi shima for evolving everything yngwie has ever done

[K2cougar]

Andy Mckee.

It takes an extraordinary amount of talent to do something like this:

So the best guitarist is a man who doesn't play the instrument in a traditional way? That seems a bit unfair imo.

[Spekenengles]

John Bonham :downs:

[Bad)-(and]

I don't really know who I'd call the greatest. But John Butler is very talented. Some beautiful music.

[Wam Sood]

Randy Rhoads

[Shadow7]

Jerry only?

[Skidd]

Dick Dale

[cup-a-soup]

in before john lennon

Steve Vai

[Egg_Toaster]

Adam Jones

[TimeBomb]

Definitely Robert Fripp
