Eddie Hazel's a good choice anon. My first experience with Maggot brain was also on acid.

Petrucci and Hendrix.

The correct answer is Wayne Kramer

>>738988667
Pure talent, yeah it's kinda hard not to go with him.

His music never showed off his talent but Prince was a hell of a guitar player.

Santana is a sell-out, but good.
Robin Trower. Emily Remler. Eric fucking Clapton. Jerry God-Is-Dead Garcia.

>>738985169

Definitely not this spic

>>738985169
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHNCIc86ZVA

there are definitely better spics than overrated Santana

Going back farther than Hendrix,

There's Muddy Waters
And Chuck Berry
And Fats Dominoes

Hendrix played Fender, he's a schlub and deserves no points.

>>738991126
Fats domino played the piano ya fucking mook

>>738989385

i think he's a fine guitar player and musically he can put together a damn fine song, but...
I hate his fucking goddamned face. I seriously can't stand to look at his fucking face. His face is more punch-able than seth mcfarlane. I hate the way he acts, I hate the way he talks, I hate the way he looks and I hate his goddamned fucking face.

>>738998662
He actually composed and performed his own shit. Also, he would implement jazz and funk into his classical pieces. Segovia is a legend but his far from the best. Julian Bream is better than Segovia.

Roy Clark and Buck Owens were great together (seen here with the also great Jerry Reed).

this guy gets it

Eh. He had some skills. He just lost them pretty fast when he got older. Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins were both better, however.

His album with Tommy Emmanuel is so good.

stevie wonder is really not known for his guitar playing

You have it backwards. Kirk does very little other than write occasional solos or riffs (or in the case of Harwired, he LITERALLY did nothing) and Kirk borrowed almost all of the solos Dave wrote while in Metallica. James was never a great singer, but neither is Dave. I think the most pathetic thing here is that you still insist on feuding about Metallica vs. Megadeth. They're both great bands filled with great musicians.

There's no worse punishment than being a guitar legend of Jason's caliber and not being able to play guitar for the rest of your life. I have to give him props for hanging in there for so long.

Les Paul, Prince, EVH, Django Reinhardt, Brian May... somewhere down the list is Jack White just because of the stuff he comes up with. Lots of them. Impossible to name the GOAT

Not bad for a guy called Anus.

I don't know whether surviving ALS as long as he has is a blessing or a curse. To be trapped like that...I don't think I could handle it.

I hope he does OK as his parents (his primary caregivers) get older and pass away.

In terms of best technique, Yngvie Malmsteen. But his playing lacks passion and soul.
