john mclaughlin! john mclaughlin! he's my favorite guitarist! :3> youtube him! youtube him!

 

 

 

that guy is a magnificent guitarist, the only thing I can criticise is his electric tone

Jimi Hendrix is the best IMO. Basically he invented so much more ways to make sound with guitar (listen to star spangled banner for example).

 

 

 

Alexi laiho is the fastest I know. at least he has a guinnes world record with fastest guitar playing if I remember right...(quite wicked IMO).

One of the most overrated guitarists ever, in my opinion. James' solos are better, he's got very sloppy chops... and christ, someone remove that wah-pedal from his pedalboard.

 

 

 

He's a good guitarist, but FAR from the best. But then again, looking at my list, I would only claim one or two of those to be among the "best ever". I just posted a few of my favourites.

100% agreed with azvy. i hate kirk hammet..hes nto innovative at all.

I could honestly care less about speed, the only thing that makes an actual good guitarist is the ability to actually put together a good part/solo instead of just playing a bunch of notes really fast/in no order. I'd much have a solo that goes with the theme of the song instead of a really fast one that has nothing to do with the rest of the song. I won't say who I think is the best guitarist, as i will most likely get criticized for it.

He did great things for metal guitar in the 80's. Most solos from albums like Ride, Master and Justice are pretty great, and very influential in terms of how metal guitarists play now.

 

 

 

He's definately not the greatest guitarist about, but the guy was a big player in his time and I think he gets way more criticism than he deserves.

 

 

 

My list of favourite players would be Ritchie Blackmore, Matt Bellamy, Adam Jones, John Petrucci, John Butler, David Gilmour and John Squire.

influential to who may i ask? to you? that doesnt count. regardless if he was tought under satriani..he isnt good.

 

 

 

i can agree that Blackmore is amazing. he is one of my favourites. particularily on blackmores night and in rainbow. really nice celtic guitar.

 

ghost of a rose <3. can i also say that he is definitely innovative in hsi ways.

 

 

 

anothe rone is Steve Morse. hes amazing also. listen to Contact Lost by deep purple. now thats inspiring!

 

 

 

another all time great is none other than Vai. for the lov eof god..is Pure..Guitar. its so smooth, sleek and gives an awing experience.

 

 

 

now what about bob Marley..he sucked..i dont know who would pick him lol.

 

 

 

i'd also say that frusciante and hillel Slovak are some of the most influential guitarists in the 90's despite morello and Kim.

 

 

 

can i also say that duane Allman is one of the best guitarists ever. he was almost too innovative..listen to Whippin Post. or Can't you See. and to think that he never used cutaways..or any advanced technologies. i dont even think he used a slide.

Almost any metal band will quote Metallica as a major influence, and like it or not Kirk Hammett inspired a generation of people to pick up a guitar. People bash the guy because he's not the most skillful, but the guy can write excellent solos. I'd rather sit and listen to a solo from Hammett than I would from Petrucci, Vai, Yngwie or Michael Angelo Batio, despite the fact that those guys are all way more skilled.

 

 

 

I hate it that music has become about technical prowess.

How could i forget David Gilmour? I'll add him to my original list.

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

To be fair, I can't quote band/guitarist names off the top of my head, but to say Kirk Hammett wasn't influential is just extremely ignorant.

Some of my favourites:

 

 

 

Adrian Smith, Dave Murray

 

John Petrucci

 

Ritchie Blackmore

 

K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton

 

Eddie Van Halen

 

Yngwie Malmsteen

 

James Young, Tommy Shaw

 

 

 

No idea how they would rate in the whole scheme of things, but I enjoy the bands they're in alot. ;P

It really has

Ritchie Blackmore

 

 

 

My concept on Blackmore has gone downhill after I've watched his performance on Come Hell or High Water. As if his arrogant posture weren't enough, the band could get along very very well without him trying hard.

His playing is brilliant on that DVD though, and his arrogance was partly what made the live shows so electric. You can't deny it's AMAZING when Blackmore walks out just in time for the Highway Star solo, and just rips it.

 

 

 

Child in Time is unbelievable on that DVD as well.

Haha indeed, the show is amazing. And you're right, probably Glover and Lord wouldn't have played with so much passion if Blackmore were in a normal mood.

 

However, even though his attittude has made the show spectacular, it was terrible for the band.
