my nigga! I'm not the only one!
For a long time i considered Hendrix the best guitarist.
Then when i took fake acid i saw Jimmy Page doing dazed in confused live from the Zeppelin movie and it blew my god damn mind.
Maybe Jimmy Page isn't as technically good as say Hendrix or Clapton but i think he has a better feel for what sounds good.
>>554325617

Dave Mustaine about Buckethead:
''...But then you see some guy like Buckethead… Buckethead is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours.''

You're legitimately retarded.
Also, the fact that you're throwing out names like Hendrix, Page and Clapton just tells people you don't actually listen to any guitar music besides what your dad gave you and what you hear on the radio.

You're the autistic for disliking someone because they're old or popular or obviously good you fucking dipshit.
I love a lot of people mentioned in this thread, but you cant say someone like jack white is anywhere near as good as jimmy hendrix. Good guitarists ARE rare these days, i like dreamy synth pop as much as the next guy but it doesnt enshrine the guitarist in the same way a classic blues act does.
This is coming from someone who doesnt care for hendrix or like blues, but i can't deny how how they make guitars sing, Fucking douchebag.
>>554331479
No, it really does.
If they have the ability to play very fast, then they are a good guitarist.
>>554331387
no
playing with your heart and soul means good.
playing fast means being good technically, but not being a good guitarist
>>554331325
May as well not count Jimmy Hendrix because he doesn't play like he used to back when he was alive.

I've seen that haha, not some of his best work but still.
>>554331534
You're thinking of the art of song writing. This is a thread about good guitarists. The only way to measure if someone is good at an instrument is by the difficulty of what they are able to play.
>>554331630
he was scary to begin with. but I have a few of his albums - acoustic shards for example - which are really really great
>>554331548
Technical ability is just as if not more important as writing ability or feeling.
>>554331387
I have professional concert guitarist and violinists very close to me. They both agree that speed is only to impress. Speed means muscle memory, meaning lots of practice on one thing.
Imo versatility and technicality over speed any day.
>>554331539
Actually not, if you can play very fast you can be skilled, but if you can't create a piece that has a special sound to it, you are not very good as an artist. That's why almost no legends of the guitar did very fast music, they may not be fast, but they were creative.
>>554331534
I agree, but the other guy didnt say that wasn't the case! Playing fast and clean does show a reasonably good level of technical ability and makes you a good guitarist. BUT being a good guitarist does not mean you're a good musician. You can be the worlds fastest player and have reached the absolute pinnacle of technical playing, but if your music sounds like shit, who cares?
>>554331630
The Guiness needs to know about this guy.

>>554331858
I completely agree with you, but you don't understand what I am saying.
You are talking about being a good song writer, which is not relevant to someone's skill at an instrument.
>>554331821
I guess it depends on the genre.
being able to play insanely fast doesn't get you far in jazz, whereelse it does in some metal sub-genres

Nice assumption. The point of my post was that you don't seem to know anything about playing guitar or any guitarists that aren't household names due to their popularity among people your dad's age. You're just a parrot.

What is it with you and dads? I like hendrix and Page because i'm deeply impressed when i see them play.
Why dont you have the courage to like what you like instead of avoiding popular names because you think you'll look uninformed? Are you deeply insecure anon? Are you projecting your insecurities on me because i like Hendrix and Page and you want to look special and informed because in reality your personality is pretty boring? Are you ok?
>>554331821
Somewhat. But the songwriting and melody should overwhelm it. Let's compare two great Progressive bands Tool and Dream Theater
Dream Theater has amazing technical ability for each individual instrument. Each player (from Petrucci to Portnoy) each showcase their own ability to play fast, technically, and very random (scale wise, out of the ordinary notes and drum patterns etc.)
Tool has an amazing technical ability as a whole. Contributed with polyrhythms and rhythmic technicality as a whole. Adam Jones himself has a simplistic guitar style, nowhere near on par to Petrucci. The bass also follows suit to the simplistic style of Jones, but Danny Carey compensates for extremely complex drums. Overall there is a complex songwriting theme, but not an individual complex style.
Which band would you take to listen to for hours on end? Personally, I would pick Tool for the overall songwriting ability of the band. DT are astounding technical players and musicians, but they try to incorporate too much of their technicality into their songs.

Robert plant is a rip off of janice joplin.
Painful to say, because i love the guy, but Joplin is on another level and it's pretty clear she was a big influence. Listen to her live.
Im a bassist but I know one of my top favorite guitarists is Paul Gilbert. His hand looks like a daddy long legs.

Any of you guys got any advice for a beginner?
Well I say beginner I've been playing 5 months I know 18 songs already and I practice 4 hours a day. Am I doing it right? I have a list of songs I have to get done by the end of summer and the last song on the list is Holy Wars by Megadeth, do you guys think I can pull it off? I'll be attempting it 9 weeks from now, I practice down picking all the time. So for example if I'm watching a youtube video or anime or something I'll be practicing at a steady tempo. Also have any of you tried out Rocksmith I've taken up the 60 day challenge on that too and I'm getting regular lessons from a guitar teacher.

It's fucking HENDRIX. flat out. If you're going to pick a dude that actually used his talent to the fullest, it's that nigger. We can all say Gilmour, Frusciante, Page.. whatever.. but Jimi CHANGED the whole thing and god damn if you listen to those isolated guitar tracks. it's just the sexiest, funkiest shit ever.
if i had to pick a no.2 it'd probably be just a mash between Page, Gilmour, Clapton etc.. maybe even frusciante solely because of under the bridge and how fun that shit is to play.
>>554335127
>I think he might know more than you do
Why, because he keeps saying he does?
It's not know how much either of us know about guitar or music in general. But do you really think someone who sounds like this >>554335360 knows really good music or can offer an impartial opinion on it?
>>554335885
Show me some of your playing.
How is metal a joke? It's awesome music. Music isn't all about virtuosity, you know.
>>554335818
That's why he had to leave Bloodbath and had to take Opeth in another direction, right? Because his technique is superior?
His vocals SOUND good, but they've gone and destroyed his voice. I've spoken with a couple vocal coaches and a few vocalist friends about it and we all seem to agree.
>>554335885
>He's a talentless hag.
Yes.
>>554335885

Honestly you both sound about the same and should probably just hug and make-up. Put your differences aside because you're both being pigheaded blathering idiots.

i listen to heavy heavy metal, but i got to say, this man shreds the most

i fucking love jerr bear
good to see another deadhead in this shithole
>>554325617
Dimebag Darrel
Jason Becker
Chuck Schuldiner
I'm not saying they are the best but they were god-tier guitarists.
>>554335954
I second Gilmour, Page, Clapton and Hendrix but they could share #1.
>>554336043
He certainly kicks his wife's ass
I did not expect to see Rory Gallagher on 4chan
The Irish Tour '74 album is one of the best live albums I have heard in my lifetime.
Best live album? Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous.

He left Bloodbath to work on Opeth shit. Opeth was formed 8 years prior to Bloodbath. He's on two out of three Bloodbath albums. THE FIRST AND THE THIRD.
He stopped growling because he didn't like the sound anymore. He wanted to move in a different musical direction. Have you listened to Heritage or the new single from Pale Communion? He sings like a fucking angel. This would leave one to believe his VOICE WASN'T DESTROYED.
Don't take my caps as anger, just as bold points.
I know Frank Zappa has already been posted more than once, but hey, one more ain't gonna hurt anybody.
Lerxst, fuck off
>>554335207
>>554335720
Holy shit the nitpicking.
We're not talking about his vocals. But his cleans are amazing and (imo) I like to hear them more than the growls, even dating back to BWP and Deliverance. But switching between the growls and cleans are still amazing.
Mediocre leads? How? He isn't playing fast, I know, but he can incorporate an insane amount of sounds and feel into his lead, including the acoustic. More of a proficient riff-writer and rhythm player, but his leads are more than mediocre.
>>554336015
Music is art. Like a great painting, it needs to show mastery of all areas. I'm not gonna upload anything for you guys to all talk shit about. I could be buckethead and upload myself 8 finger tapping and you would all say it sucks.
I never got into metal. My favorite metal albums are buckethead tony MacAlpine and that's about it, both guitarists being jazz masters.
>>554336043
You mean go harmonic minor up and down then sweep the diminished triad a little bit? Jason Becker on the other hand would make my ass red, but John patrucci? Come on man, try harder.
>>554336470
yes
zappa rules
Too much Metal not enough Jazz... John McLaughlin anyone?
>>554334229
Then obviously you've never seen/heard his playing. He was a total fretboard-freak...
>>554334735
Ever listened to a single DT song? Think u got sth wrong with you man!
>>554336026
>I've spoken with a couple vocal coaches and a few vocalist friends about it and we all seem to agree
Oh, you talked to your friends?
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
I think your friends and those "vocal coaches" are retards. And so are you.
Retard.

qq more dude, I loved the shit out Opeth and they were my favorite band and main inspiration for a solid half of my music career. I own almost all of their albums, I know Still Life from cover to cover on 2 instruments. I spent thousands of dollars trying to nail their guitar tones. I've seen them in concert SIX times. I've met Peter and Martin Lopez, I've met Mikael walking down the street in Portland, OR when literally nobody else recognized him.
I have a right to my opinion, which is pretty well founded.
Great band but Mikael is horribly overrated as a vocalist and is really a mediocre lead guitar player. He writes good music, especially his acoustic stuff, but he's not a 'god tier' guitarist nor is he even close to god tier on vocals.
Another god-tier guitarist, one of the best I've ever seen live, nailed the shit out of every solo he played.
>>554328054
Only faggot with real taste. He was ranked 2 by RS, behind jimi, but he has style for days.
>>554336706
10/10 musician
>>554330125
>Oh the irony.
"guitarists"
Pretty sure he was referring to the fact it's plural & only listing Jimi would be singular.
>>554336031
Why does he have no talent then?
bitch slappin a jazz guitar, spanish style.

He doesn't play any combinations of notes that I haven't heard before. He spend so long building up chops to nt have a creative brain.
Compare him to buckethead. Buckethead can shred just as quickly, and on top of that, he can play so many different unique techniques that it makes every one else look like a clown. He also plays in kick ass bands, like his project with Tony Williams, or all his jazz fusion project. Bucketead can improv a tasty jam and then lay down some sweep tapping and blow everyone's mind. He's unbelievable creative and writes in every genre possible. Including dub step bluegrass pop classical horror movies funk jazz metal fusion everything man. Patteuci is predictable as holy hell.
Hey buddy, you sounded great out there, but I have a question, you do know that there are many many other scales than simply major pent atomic and major melodic. Here, I'll show you
>>554337020
I can do everything John pattruci can do. On top of that write music in more than one plain boring genre.
>>554335885

I think you just went full retard. Would you like a prize? The rest of your posts are now proven invalid. I don't even have to say why.
>>554337525
That sounded like dog shit. You really thin that was a beautiful creative unique never been thought of before piece of art? You've gotta be kidding me. Listen to cab, or hermann Szobel, or even chick corea.
>>554336752
Opinion respected. At least you said his songwriting ability was astounding. I don't really agree on the mediocre playing part, but whatever. Vocals aren't something I really worry about when listening to music, so opinions are scattered.
Jari is amazing. Time II soon pls.
Eddie van Halen, if you listen to more than just Eruption and stuff
>>554337768
He doesn't. Or maybe you have short term memory loss and think he's amazing everyone you hear
Come on niggers, Gary Moore is a better guitarist than all these fuckers combined. And he's dead.

>>554337947
So you're telling me that you only listen to guys that play unique combinations of notes that have never been combined before? Pardon my redundancy.
You're going to use that argument then go on to talk about how Buckethead can play any genre. This entails the use of many chords, notes, scales, and chord structures that have been used over and over. I mean, I really don't understand what you were even trying to say there or how it is in any way shape or form a valid point.

Me dicking around over some jazz chords, all written on the spot, first take, only 8 years of self taught practice. In 8 more years, when I would have been playing for as long as John Patrucci, man I can't wait. There's nothing John can do that I can't.
Trailblazer, FELT the music. This Talent while dealing with heroin. BOOM
