Van Halen Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I have seen them in consert too, i loved it when eddie van halen turned Eruption into a like 15min solo!!! P.s. is anyone going to the STIX consert??? also, good choice on Eddie Van Halen!
BackInBlack804 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 yeah van halen is like my secound fav but angus young lol u cant mess wit him that guy is insane and thunderstruck that song is the best :happybanana: Go Alex Van Halen
BackInBlack804 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 ha ha i dont think u can consider him one of the best but another really cool guitarest is the guy from zz top lol than band ownz :happybanana:
Van Halen Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 I beleive his name is Billy Gibbons, he kicks ass!
VedderIsGod Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 i'd say the best guitarists are david gilmour, jimmy page, robby kreiger, george harrison JIMMY PAGE IS AMAZING...no one ever talks of Santana because hes spanish but he is also one of the best
VedderIsGod Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Want to hear sweet guitar? Down by the river - Neil Young :guitar:
miamisammy29 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 no one ever talks of Santana because hes spanish Yeah, we probably shouldn't talk about Jose Feliciano either. He's not just Spanish, he's blind too.
BackInBlack804 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 ZZ Top is the [bleep] Santana is awsome but i nvr really liked him i just idk lol but u arent gonna belive that i am related 2 jim morrison but i am seeing as my name is Rob James Morrison u can kinda guess where i got my name from but my dad is good friends with rob from the doors and has one of his guitars and lemme tell u it is a nice as hell
edna Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Yeah, we probably shouldn't talk about Jose Feliciano either. He's not just Spanish, he's blind too. I thought Santana was Mexican and Feliciano must be... from... Puerto Rico? Anyway, Feliciano is a Motown artist... which is strange, he´s not Motown at all...
Stryder Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 I think shredders like Malmsteen, Satch and Vai are cool and all, but I really prefer creativity, and melodic, nice sounding music. Which is why, although Eruption is impressive, id much rather listen to Voodoo Chile. The reason Hendrix is always regarded at 1 is because the guy was creative as hell, and made beautiful music with his guitar. Not because of his technical Skill. Jimmy Page needs to be mentioned to. he rocks the hizzy.
openmind Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 iv got one for you all what about prince. its kinda hard to find anything he plays. and plus im not a big fan at all. but i was wondering were dose he stand on the list
openmind Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 and what about steve vai i hear that he is good not better than van halen but depending on what he plays he is faster than hell?
Earth-Angel Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 I don't have any favourite favourite guitar player, but the skills of some astound me. How they can make the music come from them through the guitar instead of just playing the notes in tune, is a true gift. Not every player has it, and that is what makes me appreciate those who do so much. Also, brilliant guitar players do not always play good songs, which is a let down. Off the top of my had, the guy from Metallica, Joe Satriani, the guitarist for Audioslave/Rage, the dude from RHCP...there are so many and so good in their own way. Sorry I don't have time to look up names, I'm at work. I'll have a proper go when I get home

Sorry I don't have time to look up names, I'm at work. I'll have a proper go when I get home Metallica guitarists=Krik Hammet/James Hetfeild Audioslave/RATM guitarist=Tom Morello RHCP first guitarist was Dave Navarro, then was replaced by John Frusciante.
Danielj Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 No, the first RHCP was Hillel Slovak, then replaced by Frusciante, Navarro was only on one album, and not nearly their first.
jman14141414 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 Ok shows what I know lol. Thanks Daniel.
Dtheater Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 What about yngwie malmsteen and john petrucci? :happybanana:
Aunt_Acid Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I don't know anything about guitar players.
TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 ZZ Top is the [bleep] Santana is awsome but i nvr really liked him i just idk lol but u arent gonna belive that i am related 2 jim morrison but i am seeing as my name is Rob James Morrison u can kinda guess where i got my name from but my dad is good friends with rob from the doors and has one of his guitars and lemme tell u it is a nice as hell THATS AWESOME! I love Jim Morrison...how closely are you related to him?
stocky Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 just to be different i would have to say lindsey buckingham i just watched fleetwood macs the dance dvd and that guy is very underrated but my personal fav will allways be frank zappa
SFSound Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 All these posts and not a single mention of FRANK MARINO Remember Mahogany Rush? Frank is unquestionably the greatest Guitarist OF ALL TIME. Check out any of his "Best Of" CDs.
Van Halen Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Malmsteen is amazing, I hate when there is singing in his songs because he is so good at guitar it takes the music down a noch also, i have been hearing people talk about how faster does not = better, but this is untrue! It all depends on how loud (or fast) you can take it. Such as, i would rather listen to EVH on Eruption than listen to hendrix on voodoo child simply because eruption is better! think about it, erution is basically (in skill level) just a much faster voodoo child, therefore it is harder to play eruption than voodoo child....Guitarests should not be mesured on melodic levels.....enyone can have a melodic beat (they are called back ups or rythem guitarests), but not everyone can play super fast. Guitarests should be mesured on how hard the lick is. e.x. B.B. King is a great gutarist because even in his slower blues songs (e.x. Sweet Sixteen) he has blazing fast speed compared to most people even on a slower song!
_Laurie_ Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 There are sooooo many great guitarist, how can you say who is the best....i think hendrix, clapton, page...etc....plus many many others, all are great, all with their own styles, i give them all alot of credit, it's not easy playing the guitar, but i must say Clapton sure does make it look easy!
