Best guitarist thread I'm starting with John Butler
>Inb4 omg bukethed iz so gud
wat u have against the buckethead, cool guy?
Guthrie Govan
>>599265809
He's shite
The fucking John Petrucci
Kaki King
>>599265660
Black metal guitar is best guitar.
buckethead is one of the bests guitarists ever existed in the fucking world. it's just a crazy guy with an amazing sound.
GOD BLESS BUCKETHEAD!!!!!!!
>>599265660
is that OCEAN ?
>>599265809
He's better than >>599267012
though
Let Michael Angelo Batio melt your goddamned face!
Black metal guitar can suck my balls and sink his head in your fucking butt
>>599267769
No, this is John Butler
>>599265660
Sunga Jung
>>599268209
Spelled his name wrong but he's pretty good, not as good as John Butler but he's Asian and Asians are automatically disqualified
Scott Weinrich
>>599265660
Paco de Lucia
Graham Coxon
>>599265660
Afroman, he's knockout
>>599265660
I think it's close between him and Sungha Jung
Kurt fucking Cobain. And I don't give a shit what you faggots say. It's true that his guitar skills were fucking poor BUT it didn't stop him from becoming one of the most successful frontmen in the history. The man was a genius riff/song writer.

Jimmy page, randy Rhoads, srv, David Gilmour,
True guitar players do mote than make as many weird noises that go stale after 10 minutes
>>599269846
The guy was honest. Dont see that much in mainstream music.
George Harrison pic related
Its all about how the music makes you feel not how fast and technical you are.
>>599270482
Amen.
This guy was a true musician and played some of the most influential heavy guitar in just two years.
Pat Metheny is amazing and so ridiculously original and diverse in his guitar stylings.
There is a right answer and all of you faggots missed it.
>>599265660

>>599269848
>you don't /thread your own post newfriend
Best soloing guitarist ever.
This guy may not be the best but he plays with more soul than anybody I've seen. He always knows what to do and it just flows out of him like words.
>>599271482
ITT 12 year olds posting the only guitarists they know
Victor Smolski
>>599271482
I like this guy
Mayer is a DUTCH NOOB
>>599271658
Lol
>>599271482
i'd say 100% correct on guitar.
and 50/50 on songwriting. hes had some pretty damn good songs and some pretty ok songs.
>>599271719
Not better then Hendrix... No hendrix . So SRV he is the deffinition of A COPY PASTA
Maybe not the most technical guitarist, but John Frusciante made me feel things I can´t feel with any other. "The Empyrean" is my favourite CD of all time
Got to hand it to jimmy page for sacrificing his soul for the power of the guitar
Steve Howe, totally underrated guitarist. And of course Jerry Garcia must be mentioned at least once in here
>>599266482

matt pike or van halen

Anyone like Hank Marvin from the shadows
>>599272320
My favorite go like this in no order.
Zappa , Hendrix , Page
I Love Rock N Roll
Thats my main guitar.
Duzzy 49er while we were recording in the studio.
>>599272094
He's much more blues than Hendrix and I enjoy voodoo child and little wing much more by him then Jimi, live anyway.
Lee Ranaldo
Frank Zappa
Jeff Beck
Hendrix
John Petrucci
every other guitarist is irrelevant
>>599271041
Literally the best guitarist alive
>>599272619
Dident post the pic.
How'd you guys forget this god?
One of the only metal guitarist I would call a musician. Most are just shredding wank fests
my nigga tom morello
>>599270667
>That bastardised Yamaha SG

>>599272770
Alive maybe
>ctrl+F Chris Broderick
>0 results were found
I'm outta here.
Jimi
Rhoads, C'MON
>>599272631
Id say he is alot more "texeas style swing blues" then just stright blues.
Hendrix was a rock "avantgardist" blues
When he started. Thats style dident exist. The tehnology wasent even ment to perform the way he was doing it.
SRV. Litterally a decade latter ahd the thenology and the the records to teach himself.
Hendrix 10 points. SEV 1point for makeing a very very good ( i admit) rendition to little wing instumental
Honestly mark knopfler may not play the guitar as badass as these fuckers but he is perfect at his style also jimmy page
Seems all the best guitarist are dead Hendrix, srv, zappa, randy mother fuckin Rhoads, etc...
Marcel dadi
>>599273072
You referring to Chuck Schuldiner?
Frampton Comes Alive!

Jeff Mangum
>>599273431

>>599273687

Les Claypool is one crazy talented mother fucker.
>>599273581

>>599273235

Stevie Ray Vaughan

>>599273581

Dutch Nuuby

Colin Edwin and The Aristocrats bassist, whose name I could never remember

Robert Fripp
>>599265660
Joe Bonamassa
>>599273839
It's always a good time when you listen to him :)
>>599274084
Slash really was not very good typical guitar playing maybe two songs of his stand out. But you gotta hand it to him for getting people to want to learn to playguitar
>>599273878
Neither of you do
>>599274157
Johnson is cool and pretty good, but I wouldn't call him one of the best, at least in terms of skill.
>>599274027
True that brother!
Gabriela Quintero
Brian May from Queen.
Mother fucker is a rocker AND an astrophysicist.
eric clapton
>>599274693
Yea slash is good until you learn how to play guitar then you see how over rated he really is randy Rhoads all the way
Steve Howe
god you autists tire me. John Butler? Is this a joke?
>>599274915
he's also in Queen...
>>599275044
lolwut
checked btw
just cause someone can play super fast arpeggios doesn't make them good, needs emotion and a good tone.
learn to listen to other music types than rock and metal

Hendrix is not the greatest but is the known father of guitar if it wasn't him it woulda been someone else
jimi hendrix (soul > skill)
and i dont mean that known songs like purple haze or hey joe, listen to 1983 (a merman i should turn to be)
>>599274996
randy rhoads was a good guitar player but he played shit music
>>599272989
This. You are all faggots except for this anon.
>>599272989
>>599275377
dat samefaggin'
Marc Okubo and Misha Mansoor.
>>599275377
says the faggot
Seriously guys listen to some SRV stuff (he did jimi's voodoo child (slight return)), he is truly one of the best guitar players there was
>>599275272
Maybe not THE greatest but definitely one OF THE greatest guitar players
>>599269092
Don Ross, Antoine Dufour, and Luca Stricagnoli are all way better than that little slope.
>>599275147
only relevant guitarist in this thread tbh
chuck loeb> jimi hendrix
>>599275371
I agree but he was not a metal guitar player was practically forced to tryout for ozzy but if you just listen to his playing without ozzy it is pure genius a straight up legend.
I'm gonna have to say John Mclaughlin from mahavishnu orchestra or Luiz Bonfa
>no Prince
How come no one has mentioned Marc Rizzo, the dude is incredible!
Soulfly tribe!
Alright ! this one !
>there are people in this thread right now who think it's possible to play the guitar better than john williams
fucking kill yourselves guys, every single note he plays is precise and immaculate, technically perfect, if a robot was programmed to play it would sound like john williams, and fuck all that fake "feel" and emotion, it doesn't exist, you can't emit emotion through strings, sure people can hear emotion though them, but you can't play with emotion, just good timing and accentuation, all of that falls within technique, and you can't get better than flawless
tl;dr JOHN WILLIAMS
oh hi
>>599275640
Oh fuck Ya srv owns the guitar
Wes Montgomery is insane
>>599275953
> Power Chords
Absolutely disgusting
>>599275640
I'd say he also has the best tone out of any guitar player I've heard. Dem.13s
I don't see Thomas Erak in here, damn shame.

A few other icons that were mentioned up there - Petrucci, Rhoads, Hendrix, Paige, Iommi etc.
Some guys that are still playing now:
Andy Timmons
Greg Howe
Richie Kotzen
Alex Hutchings
Marco Sfogli
Also include Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.
gary moore
>>599277459

Though he's playing power chords in the photo this man is brilliant, I mean shiet lead guitarist in famous band and a composer for classical music. bueno.
>>599276685
doubt you even listened to it for more than 10 seconds. I expected that attention span from an aspie.
>>599276821
Mistakes? That's how he plays it, it's his style, he also sings while doing this. You wish you has 1/100th of the talent that dude has, but sadly you will never be anything.
>>599277981
Good but not god tier
>>599273933
Sidenote: Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, Jaco Pastorious, John Entwhistle etc, all the best bass players used a 4-string.
Why am I Seeing all those 14-17 year old wannabe bass players use 5, 6 and even 7 string basses? More strings make better players? What is this shit about??
>>599277457
You talk to rocks?
>ctrl+f
>no Annie Clarke
Let me fix that here a second.
Also, surprised I haven't seen John Frusciante's name in here yet
>>599278091
No one has phrasing like him.
God of the power chord but obviously not the greatest
Victor Wooten can do it all with as many strings as he wants. God tier
>>599278349
Agree on John Frusciante. Unfortunately not familiar with this girl tho
