Slowhand 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Keep in mind, these are just guitarists you really enjoy or appreicate, not ones you think are technially sound or can play amazing. I listed Tom Petty as one of mine, not because he revolutionized guitar or anything, but because I just really enjoy his guitar work. It's nothing I couldn't play if I practiced a day or two (and I'm below average at best) but I just love it... Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Tom Petty usually just plays rhythm guitar, Mike Campbell is the Heartbreakers' guitarist, and I enjoy listening to him too. Link to post Share on other sites

Rayzor 1 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Yup... seems like any guitarist whose last name is Young can play one note but make it look complicated! Link to post Share on other sites
_Laurie_ 11 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 It definitely would be complicated to try and copy that! :guitar: Link to post Share on other sites

Heard It On The XM 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Steve Hackett, former Genesis guitarist who has had a long solo career since the late 1970s, including a few ventures into classical guitar. Very talented as both a guitarist and a composer. He remains active today; his most recent studio album was Wild Orchids last year. Link to post Share on other sites
Foolonthehill 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 yeah I agree completely about Steve Hackett... Steve Howe too is pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

berjo 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 In order: 1 - Stevie Ray Vaughan 2 - Frank Marino 3 - Gary Richrath 4 - Jake E. Lee 5 - Johnny Winter 6 - John, Paul, & George 7 - Jimi Hendrix 8 - Kim Mitchell 9 - Joe Satriani 10 - Jimmy Page 11 - David Gilmour 12 - Frank Zappa 13 - Angus Young 14 - Ted Nugent 15 - Randy Rhoads 16 - Alvin Lee 17 - Ritchie Blackmore 18 - Gary Moore 19 - Joe Walsh 20 - Jan Akkerman 21 - Mick Box 22 - Brian May 23 - Nuno Bettencourt 24 - José Feliciano 25 - Tom Morello 26 - Steve Cropper 27 - Vivian Campbell 28 - Roy Clark 29 - Claudio Sanchez 30 - Lonnie Johnson 31 - Eddie Lang 32 - Paul Kossoff 33 - Dave Mustaine 34 - Mick Rogers 35 - Mark Farner I'm still working on list Who you won't find on my list (at least in top 50-100 or so) - Please remember - there are no 'bad' guitarists. It's just some guitarists leaves nothing to the palate. Slash - vastly overrated that 99% of solos are Joe Perry. In other words, nothing original. Eric Clapton - Save a couple of tunes, he's done nothing for me. There was a DVD I saw of him live doing some blues and he was quite impressive but that aside, he still bores me.

The Seeker 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 John, Paul & George? I don't think I've ever seen them on a best guitarists list. (doesn't mean anything, I know ) Link to post Share on other sites
berjo 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 The question was 'Your Top Guitarists.' Those three should be number one but I've done this list (long ago - the top 5 have been that way for about seven years) with just thinking 'guitar', and not necessarily the style, albums, etc. For 20 years or more, Frank Marino was my fav. It wasn't until around 8 years ago or so that I realized how much SRV puts in every single note of his 'fills' and 'solos' that just rips through me. Link to post Share on other sites
