Whilst all the people u have listed are great guitarists in terms of innovation an true genious there are only 2 guitarists that this can be between.


Jimmy Paige

Jimmi Hendrix

An hendrix wins it hands down because he was a true pioneer.


Well like the song goes....(sort of) .....there's 18,043 guitar pickers from Nashville.
And every one of them can play twice as better than I will....


You know what else they say: Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. But Legends are the ones you like the best!

Does anyone remember Uli Jon Roth? Phenomenal....original (I think) Scorpions
guitar. I saw him once in Dallas, Tx.


Randy Rhodes :

equals favorite guitarist...doesn't it. Unless you want to get into a technical discussion. tongue.gif

I think Berry then Hendrix. 3rd would be given to Clapton followed by Paige and so forth.
But best bassist is Flea.

Clapton by far. But what is all this crap about guitar players, where would they be without the drums. Or how about the Banjo, now you have to have some real tallent to play that thing. I think the guitar is one of the lower instruments in the scheme of a band. You can sub about anything for a guitar, a piano is a much more impresive instrument. but thats just my thoughts... I play the drums...

I have to disagree with you there. I used to play the piano, that is, until I found the guitar. I would have to say that guitar is more impressive. And as for the banjo, it isn't the banjo, its how its played. A lot of people who play the banjo pluck the strings with their fingers, often very fast. You can do this on a guitar, but , obviously, the guitar is bigger in size then the banjo.

And I don't know how you can sub anything for a guitar, but I do know of a thing called the drum machine.
For the last time, no means yes.

I really liked Oasis as well. Technically speaking I would have to say Randy Rhodes. The guy could play Beethoven on the guitar. It is hard to reign in a technical way when you can't even read music...and Jimi...as much as I love him...couldn't. He wasn't that remarkable 'live' either. Well, sometimes he was.

Ooooh, tough choice...hmmmmmmm...I'd have to say between the 2 Roy!

Jasu , I have a piano that you can play the guitar on, and you can sub almost any string instrument for a guitar, im not saying the guitar is not important at all, but most people just look at the guitar and thats it, when it is only maybe a fifth of how the band sounds. Now back to the issue of best player, i vote Claptin.

Yes, I agree with you there. Most people either look at the guitar or lead singer ( sometimes the lead singer playes the guitar) and most people recognize the band with that person, when the best player may very well be the drummer. If you don't believe me, look at the band Blink 182. When some people think of Blink 182, they see Tom, the guitarist, or even Mark, the bassist, when, in my opinion, Travis the drummer, is the best person playing an instrument. And the reason you can sub a piano for guitar is because they are both string instruments. You can use a piano to tune the strings of a guitar and a guitar to tune a few of the strings of the piano (the piano can play a larger scale of notes then the guitar).
For the last time, no means yes.

And a delight it is to listen to Flea and John battle it out live , did you notice how flea's playing improved after Mr. Fraciante joined the band..

Actually, I did notice that he started to play more harder things. But the better it is for the the band, anyway.
