fat s: good call on Alvin Lee.

Duane Allman is definately the man, but i have to give it to clapton.

[Madmartigan]

Hendrix and Page are a given. I respect Clapton but he isn't my favorite, far from it. David Gilmour is definitinetly a favorite, but I'm biased.

[lepratweek]

including bass

1) Hendix
2) Adam Jones
3) Tom Morrello
4) Flea
5) Bo-Diddley

satriani is a punk

[CUBErt]

dimebag darrell of pantera

[dragon1552000]

[Skizla]

My favorite is between East Bay Ray of Dead Kennedys and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. The most talented however, is without a doubt Hendrix.

[vdubman1]

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN!!!!!!! I am sooooo angry his show for Toronto got cancelled for this sunday.

[Madness]

What about Tom Morello? Doesn't anyone like new school guitar? He makes it sound so amazing. He's from Rage Against The Machine.

Yeah morello makes me weep when i see him going at his guitar with a fucking pen and then making the coolest noises you could imagine.

As for guitarists who haven't yet been mentioned (i think) Allen Collins and Gary Rossington

[_velouria_]

Guitarists? I'm going to state the obvious and say Hendrix, because really, he's too mindblowing to not be repeated once again. A guitarist with amazing stage performance, though, would have to be [b]Carlos Dengler. Hells yeah man.

[pRestOnDeezNutz]

Hendrix and Bob marly.

[timmytheturtle]

Bo-Diddley
Yes!

[TheRadPotato]

i think this needs to be clarified:

are we talking about pure favorite, or most talented/skilled?

some that are great that haven't been said:
chris impelitteri
michael angelo batio.


as for pure skill, maybe i'm uneducated or something but where do clapton, hendrix and santana fit in? tell me a good song that showcases their incredible talent.

[goatonfire]

if it's just straight up best guitarist it's gotta be ZAKK WYLDE

if we're talking carrier wise = Tony Iomma (black Sabbath) or Jimmy Page

if we're talking short lived but bad ass = S.R.V, Hendrix, and Randy Rhodes

[jive2keys]

i still like Orthrelm!

[A Random Hero]

I like Dave Mathews and John Mayor....These guys lyrics are just as good as they are playing the guitar. AND Buddy Holly

[AssClown]

i think this needs to be clarified:

are we talking about pure favorite, or most talented/skilled?

[TheRadPotato]

Pure favorite. It isn't "BEST GUITARIST" the topic is "FAVORITE GUITARIST."

[AssClown]

I doubt this topic was made for debate, I'm pretty sure it was just made so people could say who their favorite players are.

[EatMYAte]

My favorite guitarist is Kurt Cobain. Sure hes not the best but i like the sounds he can make with his guitar. Hes like an artist.

[ipathrasta22]

jimi hendrix

[EatMYAte]

Weezer's Rivers Cuomo
Nirvana's Kurt Cobain

My favorite guitarists.

[EnjoiSkater]

Jimi Hendrix is the best without a doubt.

Some other great guitarists are Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), VanHalen, Santana, Eric Clapton, Ozzy Osbourne, David Glimour (PinkFloyd), and Jimmy Page (Led Zepplin)

[badmoon349]

^ That's not nescassarily true, and you cannot say that being that there are many different types of guitarists.

And Ozzy Osbourne is not a guitarist.

[EnjoiSkater]

Oops my bad. If Ozzy doesnt play guitar in his songs than who does?

[harold]

for blacksabbath tony iommi is the guitarist, i think. He is very talented along with hendrix and eddie van halen

[oopyman]

Oops my bad. If Ozzy doesnt play guitar in his songs than who does?
...You thought Ozzy was a guitarist? Randy Rhoades and Zakk Wylde were his best guitarists.

[fat s]

Ozzy is just a washed-up faggot (my opinion)

[PsYmOn88]

can't belive no-one has mentioned Angus Young! he's one of the best there is (or ever will be)

[badmoon349]

^ He's very overrated in my opinion. He writes simple as hell songs, and his solos are pretty good, but people act like he's the best ever.

[Hide#1]

Why doesnt anyone mention Dave Mustaine do you know what that man can do with his guitar he is amazing

[TML13]

Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl

[Sezril]

John Petrucci.

[UltimateFIEND78]

Jimmy Hendrix
Doyle wolfgang von frankenstien
Billy Gorgan
Kurt Cobain

[GunsofTheSouth]

Rob Halford and K.K. Downing

[everythingnice]

idk...theres alot of gutarists i like tht alot of ppl havent heard of but i like joe santrini, hes pretty good

[badmoon349]

Rob Halford

Does he even play guitar?

[Noles]

Jimi Hendrix is the best period. Second is Page.

[AssClown]

Rob Halford and K.K. Downing
Rob Halford was the singer for Priest, the guitarists are Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing.

[Twixie]

Nick Valensi/Albert Hammond Jr - the Strokes

http://img76.photobucket.com/albums/v230/reptilia87/Favorite.jpg

[tiger army]

Halford? that was a stupid ass reply. I have seen a shit load of great guitarist. I've seen G3 (well not really, i saw them all seperately) and i went to crossroads guitar festival. I can't honestly say that there is only one greatest guitarist. There are too many different things too consider. Like Joe Satriani (AKA Baldy) does crap that hendrix could never imagine doing, but respectivley i would rather listen to hendrix cause Joe can get a little too far out for me. I like Eric Clapton's versatility, but i think he's a punk. Like at Crossroads, he totally took over when Jeff Beck was playing his ONE allocated song (fuckin sucked). Props go out to Bo Diddly, Vaugn Bros, and Yngwie (even though he's is a huge ass hole).

[MusicIsDead]

My favourite guitarist of all time is kurt cobain, but the most talented i think is a toss up with Van helen, jimi hendrix and jimmy page

[IShatOnYourDad]

aright...heres the list

Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
Eric Clapton
Duane Allman
B.B. King
Eddie Van Halen
Slash

and everyone you got to admit it is sweet the way Peter Frampton talked through his guitar with that little tube thing

[Eegoog]

Rik Emmit- Triumph
Guitar Slim Jones- Blues
Steve Howe- Yes
Andres Segovia- Classic guitar
Stevie Ray Vaughn

Among others

[samhain138]

Kareem Abdul Jabbar best guitarist man he blew everyone away

[drowningaugust]

robert randolph. fairly new to the music scene, but right up there with the greats, in my opinion.
