TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Whoops, I meant I can't really pick. and i forgot some other greats, like... Eddie Van Halen SLASH Pete Townshend...anybody like him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Halen Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ok, man roots are awsome if your talking eddie van halen and jimmy hendrix but there are greater guitarists than jimmy hendrix like Yngwie Malmsteen. Now if u watch him and u watch eddie they are basicly the same guitarist they're both technicly advanced and obsessive compulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I'm highly offended by that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 its Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie is awesome, im not saying he isnt but Jimi is God :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Halen Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 OK, I think everybody agrees that Jimi Hendrix's best guitaring piece is Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and everybody agrees that Eddie Van Halen's Best guitaring piece is Eruption. Now, whoever can listen to both of those and actualy say Hendrix is better, should not be talking about guitarists because you need to do some serious research. And please ,don't play the, well Hendrix was the first good guitarist to blow peoples minds. Because you have to think about Les Paul and Chuck Berry. They had it harder than Hendrix because they had to pioneer and Industrialize the electric Guitar. And they had to come up with some sweet licks w/o anyone to copy.

TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I don't know, I like Hendrix AND Eddie, but I just "fancy" Jimi better. He was really breakthrough in his time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 And anyway, there are lots of other sweet guitarists like Jimmy Page, who is actually my personal favorite, THEN Hendrix...I'd like to see how many people think Jimi is better then Eddie... :: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm probably dating myself, but who the h*** are Linkin Park? As for those people who like Eric Johnson, I agree. I had not heard of him until I saw the Crossroads Guitar Festival. He is an amazing guitar player. Unlike Steve Vai (who also appeared at the festival) who plays songs with no discernible melody, Johnson is both fast and lyrical. IMO, other great guitarists are: Johnny Winter Alvin Lee Django Reinhart Jeff Healey Eric Clapton(this guy is so much better live than he is on his studio recordings) Angus Young Jimmy Page SRV Mark Knopfler Vince Gill There are many others, but these are some of my favourites. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampledUnderFoot Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Eric Clapton(this guy is so much better live than he is on his studio recordings) Thats true! Have you heard Eric Clapton Unplugged CD? I have it and its awesome! :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Thats true! Have you heard Eric Clapton Unplugged CD? I have it and its awesome! :guitar: Yes. I have the CD and you're absolutely right! It's excellent. If you like great guitar playing, check out the CrossRoads Guitar Festival DVD. You can get order it online at Amazon for about $20 US. It has 2 to 3 hours of great music on it. Santana and Clapton jam for about 10 minutes on a song called Jingo. Amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody_home Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just watched The Last Waltz again a few days ago, and I'd say Robbie Robertson held his own with Clapton. Hell of a songwriter too. When talking guitar virtuosity, Alvin Lee comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortuneTeller Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 There are plenty of great guitar players and the best is debatable, but it's surprising that nobody has mentioned B.B. King, Prince, or Keith Richards. Some of my favorites include: Pete Townshend Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Mark Knoplfer Chuck Berry Eric Clapton Van Halen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInBlack804 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 B.B.
