Bucketheads a joke
>>726827253
Do explain.
>>726826859
>>726826859
this great man
>>726827454
I bet you played a lot of guitar hero
>>726827370
It isnt about what your hands can do with a big piece of wood but about what sounds you make with it. He is just terrible
Mark Knopfler obviously.
Matt Pike
>>726827233
Dude I like Trivium but bitch please.
If I could bring one artist back from the grave
Obviously
/thread
>>726827155
the only answer
Marty Friedman
>>726827720
maybe not the greatest but def fucking underrated
the one and only
>>726827606
please what?
>>726827530
Are we talking about the same guitarist? Have you even heard his music?
the legend himself
>>726827454
>>726827628
Lots of great guitarists, but Hendrix will always be the greatest.
Giving an honorable mention to Roy Buchanan as well.
Eric Clapton (up until 1970)
>>726827980
Thats the bad guy from DIe hard right?
>>726828089
because he switched to Strats?
Blows every one of these guys away and is a legend in her own time

Angus Young no question
Syd Barrett. Can't be bothered with a picture; you know who he was, you know I'm right.
>>726826859
Him
>>726828345
Syd Barrett sucked. That's why Floyd shit canned him
>>726828153
Yes. And because he went completely pop for a long period of time even though that was the main reason he quit the Yardbirds.
>>726828455
LOL
>>726828345
Visionary within music. Was pushing fusion before it hit the jazz scene. Still tho as a guitarist he could've pushed further. I put him within the top 10 musicians, but not top guitarists. Still love everything he worked on and I wish more of his early recordings survived. I love free Improv.
can't forget this dude
>>726827531
This. I thought i wouldnt find it here
>>726828455
They got rid of Syd because he went mad. But he was never a great guitarist.
>>726826859
ITT: Who knows the most obscure, most forgotten guitarist and's a real music expert.
>>726828345
Syd was objectively a shitty musician. He's on par with Neil Young, they both just played random garbage.
>>726828596
These are all mainstream names
>>726828596
only forgotten if you're not a metal/rock/blues fan ;)
>>726828542
wTF HAPPENED TO SERJ TANKIAN
No list would be complete without this guy
Completely underrated due to his shitty later stuff
John Frusciante hands down
>>726828687
Nice use of caps there faggot
>>726828621
yeah, really fast arpeggios over and over for 10 minutes is much more interesting than anarchic self expression
>>726826859
Frusciante.
The one and only
>>726828555
trips of truth
>>726826859
No need to list my favorite. You already did, sir.
Frusciante is god
>>726828687
He's unofficially dead and we're all glad for it.
>Ctrl F
>no John Petrucci
nigga
>>726828716
Are you fucking retarded?
>>726828687
kek
>>726828735
FUCK YOUR MOTHER YOU PIECE OF SHIT CUNT. ILL MOUTHFUCK YOU AND CUM DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROAT BITCH! KILL YOURSELF TONIGHT!
Frusciante is god
>>726828833
Nope. But yer mum is
>>726828716
Very good but not great.
>>726828781
him or Paul Gilbert are correct
>>726828833
He was a brilliant guitarist, probably the best of his generation.
I like Bruce Kulick
>>726828852
he mad
>>726828852
>>726828743
I'll insult you after I figure out what an arpeggio is, faggot.
>>726826859
Frusciante is one of the only guitarists I can take seriously. The man is something else.
this Chinese fellow..
>>726829114
It's a kind of noodle
My favorite. A great body of work.
Paul McCartney
>>726828826
John petrucci is hands down the greatest
>>726826859
You guys are faggots for not posting Tosin sooner. Hes untouchable right now
>>726829281
Forgot pic because im a faggot too
>>726828826
If JP didn't have a speaker/monitor to put his foot on, would he still play as well? Is that his kryptonite?
>>726829281
The only one who could possibly compete with him would be petrucci and even then he doesn't have the thumps like tosin
>>726829245
Not best,but I really love this guy.
>>726829345
This, I love James Brown
>>726827761
he fucking plays power chords faggot
ac dc is legendary but anyone can duplicate angus' playing
>>726826859
Best living guitarist.
>>726828537
I don't know if anyone could be more underrated
David Gilmour
if this man isn't in your top then than youre a faggot
>>726827155
Thirded.
>>726829426
Gotta agree he's really nothing special.
>>726829459
jesus christ this guy is the second coming of the gutiarists of the 60s
fucking clapton himself called him good, I hope he branchs out of that teenage pop rock shit he does
>>726829569
/thread
Not many guitarists understand how to play a solo simply yet emotionally. Gilmore gets that and rocks it harder than 99% of guitarists.
>>726829582
Their sound is and explosiveness is what sets them apart, they were the first to do it thats why they are hailed as greats, and ac dc is legendary, but how many other bands sound like them? a lot do cause it's not hard to replicate power chords and distortion cranked up
>>726829681
You can literally see it on his face when he plays,
This
kurt Cobain
>>726829569
He's in my top ten.
>>726829776
Like your mom when I play
>>726829818
seriously? he played power chords all fucking day, his lyrics and sound is what set nirvana apart but literally anyone can play what he did easy
>>726829906
>>726829426
samefag
>>726830031
indeed i am
>>726830146
you killed the whole thread, good job
>>726829345
Wow, that guitar is fucking...UGLY
>>726830469
so is the nigger using it
>>726829681
you told everything now. Gilmor is the best!
Hands down Zach hill

The jealousy is permeating thru your moms basement. Smells worse than her jizz filled hole
HOW THE FUCK DID NOBODY SAY JEFF WATERS FOR FUCKS SAKE
Havent seen this guy
>>726830890
>>726828537
Nice choice
>>726827454
agreed
>>726830937
fuck that overrated socialist crybaby faggot
>>726829345
Good choice my fellow. Newest prototype revision is my fave so far
only the best
>>726830937
>>726830890
Maybe because he's total shit?
>>726828781
I wish her would cut his hair, it looks very dry. Wanna see him live eventually
>>726826859
I love you.
You have amazing taste.
Froosh is god (literally)

Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein
>>726831167
Stevie Wonder rules!!!
>>726830817
If I were jealous, I would find that guitar awesome. I don't care who is playing it, I even don't know him.
But I don't like it, it's freaking disgusting. What's on with the fingerboard? Is it twisted?
>>726827155
Who even is this garbage. Literally no skill required
>>726830829
Oh shittttt, I listened to so much Annihilator in grade 10. Incredible riffs
>>726827233
This isn't guitar players you want to fuck
>>726827281
Lame
>>726829345
Possibly the most technically proficient player alive
>>726827316
Is this country music? That shit should even be considered
>>726826983
Factually false. What you mean is you liked him most, and that's fine.
>>726828781
I was just losing faith in this thread, and finally someone who knows his shit.
A haw haw haw hawww
>>726831470
Educate yourself on the finer points of mastering the guitar then maybe you can figure out why this guitar is ingenious
>>726827530
What? Have you ever even heard any of his albums?
>not even knowing about the colma album
I have to say I'm most proud that no one mentioned VanHalen, thank you /b/rothers
>>726827814
Agreed
>>726829155
the autism is strong with this one.
It really is.
>>726831470
Fanned frets dawg. Keeps the tension across all the strings noice
>>726831768
>>726829459
He's better than clapton at least.
>>726827814
This. X's 10 !!!!>>
>>726831543
>those ears
>>that hairline
yeah it isnt
>>726829154
>>726826859
Agreed. Completely underrated amongst the greatest.
>>726829681
that's what people who know nothing about playing the guitar says.
>>726831855
You douche
>>726831935
Yessssss.
Very underrated not just as a guitarist but as a musician in general.
His work and dedication to creating music is fucking amazing.
>>726826859
Love Frusciante, probably one of my earliest inspirations. Def top 5 but David Gilmore and John Petrucci are GOAT for me
http://www.musictap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Johnny-Thunders-1978.jpg
>>726831522
Seriously underrated prog thrash band
Devin Townsend or Martin Barre
Julian Bream
>>726831728
Who mentioned ingenuity. I mentioned ugliness.
It hurts my eyes. Maybe I report that post. It disturbs adolescents.
>>726831965
Not sure where you got that idea from. I've been playing the guitar since I was 14, and I'm 28 now. Music's been central in my life and at one point it's what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing.
>>726827253
100% u havent even listened to 1/10 of his music
Johnny Thunders
>>726829647
Clapton called him a master.
>>726831792
yeah, he's a really special person.
playing the guitar is his isolated talent..
Dave Mustaine before he became sober
obviously hes not the best guitarist out there, but I like the way he plays
albums with Marty Friedman were the best
>>726826859
>>726831610
No, not country. What's wrong with country anyway?
https://youtu.be/TnwqU4FF45I?t=210
>>726826859
Rockstar and Physicist Brian May!
Mike einziger from Incubus and Travis and Claudio from Coheed. And Dave Grohl when he's dressed like Satan.
>>726830146
That's not hitler.
4chan bow down to saint thunders...
>>726827554
Nice!
>>726832233
don't know who this is
>>726829569
>>726826859 (OP)
Syd Barret
>>726832072
Also sad nobody mentioned SRV yet, J Mayer is def up there, and whoever mentioned Govan knows whats up
these two beasts
Adam Jones.
Paul is so underrapreciated
>>726826859
Yup agree with you OP. There are plenty of technically sound/gifted guitar players but there's something about the way JF plays... he expresses himself and his feelings through that guitar better than some singers do.
Mario Camarena
>>726832452
John Mayer
>>726832679
Yee, I bought that model Steinberger because of Paul. Hoping for new music from him or Cynic, sometime in the next 10 years
>>726832690
Definitely missed that, I am at peace now
>>726832817
Shred in peace my son
>>726829569
agree./ and i hate cock win!
>>726832794
good taste
"Hey, Cheetah"
"Yeah Stiv"
"I'm bored, lets go pick up some Hilly Girls or something"
"Alright!"
>>726827486
The best of all time. The Black Strato is a beutyful guitar.
>>726833076
This picture made me itchy
>>726833076
Dead Boys?
Django Reinhardt finger for finger the best guitar player ever
>>726828713
Agree 100%
Anyone who thinks otherwise should be castrated with a hot sewing needle
>>726833202
I've stolen like so many riffs from that guy.
>>726832596
Get the fuck outa here u fat arthritis riddin wanker
Nobody going to big up Rory?
>>726833154
YES, saw him live some years ago. Absolutely phenomenal, not to mention his mentoring of Hammet and Vai
The daddy of Jazz Guitar Pat Martino
>>726833201
I loved his "Unchained" stuff
>>726831967
Anyone who says EVH isn't great doesn't play guitar
>>726833314
Fuck yeah man. I was conceived shortly after he died so my dad named me after him lol
>>726833331
If he held it any higher he'd be playing it like a fucking harmonica
>>726833287
Stealing is wrong. I'm telling the police.
>>726833329
And that Armenian dude from system of a down. That's why they actually had some Talent going into their second album.
>>726829245
yass
ahem
>>726833455
Then I'm telling on Jimmy Page. We'll go down together.
Up and coming guitar goddess
>implying it isn't Ralph Maccio when he beats Steve Vai in crossroads.
>>726833478
I didn't know about him, but it would be a little tougher to see Satch's influence in the SOAD sound anyway I think
>>726833665
Oops I meant Steve Vai. Steve Vai mentored that dude. My bad. So one of roundabout way Satriani influence there you go.
>>726827105
This.
How come nobody's mentioning Yngwie Malmsteen isn't that dude supposed to give us guitar players boners and shit
Can't believe this legends hasn't been mentioned yet
>>726827814
SRV is my god
>>726833968
Fuck yeah, Dave is god
Denis d' Amour, totally underrated...
>>726833968
I mentioned him. dressed like Satan. Hail Foo.
>>726829383
Hey there everybody, im Bobby Brown
>>726829245
GOD
>>726834303
Dude shouldn't have broke up Pantera. There I said it.
>>726831722
A heh heh heh heh
>>726832596
Youve unleashed the fucking fury
>>726832158
Nice. How about narsisco yepes?
>>726829569
>if this man isn't your top then than you're a bottom.
i don't care much about guitarists, but maybe one of the guys from dinosaur jr
You guys have no idea what great guitar playing is. I got you all beat. Fucking newfags can't compete
>>726834784
You have to admit you can hum along to his solos. It doesn't feel like they just stopped the song So homeboy could show off.
>>726826859
Best guitarist who ever lived: Shawn Lane
Fastest motherfucker ever: https://youtu.be/8eDV4fJcRUI?t=316
Melodic playing: https://youtu.be/tbPTeFta4lw?t=63
John Petrucci famously tried to learn to play some of the more difficult Shawn Lane licks but wasn't able to. John. Fucking. Petrucci. Lane is really the only guitarist where there aren't multiple youtube covers of his songs. They are just on a completely different level.
It's a shame the only music he made was weird/unlistenable 80s elevator Jazz fusion shit.
>>726827531
The guitar player's guitar player
>>726834899
He most certainly doesn't deserve that guitar. If I had his guitar and he had a feather up his ass. We would both be tickled.
>>726829818
Cobain never would have called himself a guitar hero.
>>726833961
Neo classical is the shit but malmsteen always had a terrible sound.
>>726833624
Oh shit nigga you are right
Mother fucking white lightning

>>726835062
Ya it's too bad it's going to waste with those asshole smelling fingers touching it. It should almost be burned at that point
Come on guys!
Machine gun Eddie ?
>>726835470
You should have dubs for that truth.
Mark Knopfler
>>726835627
You're right Eddie Van Halen nobody's even mention that dude.
>>726827720
Outlaws are underrated.
>>726828072
>Roy Buchanan
amazing stuff. RIP
>>726831722
the river must be round, in that texas town
>>726826859
Daron malakian from system of a down , his riffs and music are god like
>>726835627
Confusing Michael Angelo Batio for EVH. Nice meme brah.
>>726831855
he certainly was relevant
>>726826859
Buckethead and Slash
Robby Krieger
>>726827531
obviously
>>726827896
Obviously he hasnt, dont feed the troll.
>>726836437
It's was the name of a song when he was in Nitro
>>726836427
I like that one Scars on Broadway song where it's just one note for the entire chorus. Only that dude could pull that off. By the way I wish they would stop touring for a minute and work on a new album
>>726827720
mein neger
>>726836427
Amazing player i love his scars on broadway era too
>>726827814
>plays blues
>mediocre mechanical skill
>every song sounds the same
>SRV
Prince. Period.
>>726836668
Yeah that song wasnt really anything lmao but look at songs from the hypnotize album and the other album that came out with it , ALSO THEY BETTER MAKE A NEW ALBUM ITS BEEN 10 YEARS
>>726828191
Nigga please. You'll never get in her pants, so stop and go back to /mlp/ and rub one out.
>>726828713
Agreed!
>>726828191
Not authentic Telecaster Chinese made. Perfect for tiny hands. Even the ones that made it.

Who the fuck even knows that guy's name. You sick sick monkey. How dare you make me Google that. Oh and I guess Dimebag had it coming.

Brown Sound
Guitarist from Sex Pistols
Nigel Tufnel
/thread
Ian D'sa
>>726839176
Haha that dude can't count. Somebody sold him a guitar and had 7 strings.
>>726827814
Absolutely SRV. Tons of metal guitarists these days have probably passed his "technical" skill but he puts it all together. Soul, skill, talent, and just natural ability to know what sounds good regardless of how impressive or difficult it is to play.
>>726839380
I mean 8.
was frank zappa posted yet?
Who really fucking cares?
Lemmy is God
>>726839576
What do you care? Go listen to some Darude.

>>726839444
Oof, you broke your own meme. feelsbadman
>>726839176
Tosin is a beast and has been pioneering lots of crazy new sounds but he lacks emotion in his playing. Madness of many was a huge step in the right direction but still not GOAT status.
Young Kirk Hammer or Dave Mustaine
Maybe the guys from Rage Against The Machine too
>>726840009
Yup, and better than most guitar players
>>726827522
That jimi hendrix sound is really unique. Sometimes people deserves their fame for good
>>726826859

Saw them on their last concert in London, still kinda mad they didn't play Ozzy's solo songs
I doubt /b/ will know who this guy's music. He was worshiped by keith richards. Unfornately it was keith's influence that led to his death. Tequila/Morphine overdose.
>>726829459
hu dis?
Good stuff, OP. I don't think it's a coincidence that I only like the RHCP albums he's on(and their some of my favorite albums, period).
