Sorry to be a buzz kill, but I will say Slash like I said in the other thread that asked this very same question.

Well then, I think this debate has come to a conclusion.

By the way, did you strangle three year old kittens, or where you three when you strangled kittens?

This thread isn't over until someone mentions Joe Satriani.

16)   22 Dec 2008 20:43

Jimi Hendrix and Eddy Vanhalen. They're my favorite guitar players. Ohh and Slash too!

17)   22 Dec 2008 20:44

No Steve Vai, I've only heard about one record of this guy courtesy of my cousin who's a guitar player/enthusiast, but this guy rocks out.

18)   22 Dec 2008 20:44

Noobs, Z is so much better have you heard the guy he litterally makes love to his guitar while playing the accordian.

Well, music choice aside, no.

I guess.

24)   22 Dec 2008 20:57

i would have to say Jimi Hendrix and Jack White

25)   22 Dec 2008 20:58

Isn't it funny how this guy's left pinky is better than all the guitarists mentioned thus far?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FNlwmpU7Rk

For those who don't know very much about music, the piece he is playing was previously thought to be impossible to play on a single guitar. And he did it at 19!

Gutted.

actually not really, most of them could easily do that

i'll have to add

Al Di Meola
Frank Zappa
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Larry Coryell (tho he'll bow out to Jimi by his own adminssion)
Eric Clapton
Les Paul (yes the man who the guitar is named after)

27)   22 Dec 2008 23:28

I love it when you make really obvious and bad jokes.

28)   22 Dec 2008 23:34

ITT: We forget Hendrix and Clapton.

Oh, i'll nominate Johnny Marr.

29)   22 Dec 2008 23:41

I do enjoy Yngwie but he is such a show off. And for that matter so is anyone in DragonForce and don't let anyone tell you different (I don't know their names). I do agree with Di Meola who is pretentious but not a total show off, Frank Zappa, who is such a ridiculously pretentious show off he ends up coming out the other end squeaky clean, and is hilarious on top of that. For blues style stuff you can't beat Clapton and Eric Johnson. There is one old guitarist that sadly never went anywhere who will always have a special place for me though. That man is Sandy Bull. Quick, look him up! He was a brilliant player who died out because he was a bit too ahead of his time, even for the sixties when you had to be ahead of the time just to keep up with the times. And one last one, you might know him as the musician who played the Space Ghost theme, but he was also an old standby in Miles Davis's group, Sonny Sharrock. So unbelievably spaced out and amelodic I just love it.

30)   22 Dec 2008 23:58

No love for Zakk Wylde or Tom Morello? Zakk Wylde is just kickass, and sings while playing some pretty intricate stuff. And Tom Morello deserves a mention for being different and experimental more than anything else.

actually it wasn't a joke, that video you posted, most of the stuff that guy does many guitarists do the same thing, strumming and picking at the same time isn't very hard

SRV used to do that, so does Al Di Meola and he's considered one of the best jazz guitarists of all time

32)   23 Dec 2008 00:33

The obvious answer is Jimmy Hendrix.

Cleverlymadeup makes a good point...

34)   23 Dec 2008 00:35

Tom fuckin' Sholz

35)   23 Dec 2008 00:59

If I met Robert Fripp, I would scream like a school girl, conjure panties out of thin air; and throw them at him.
