Wraith Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Who are your favorite Guitarists?In no particular order for me.Alex Lifeson - RushStevie Ray Vaughn - eponymousSteve "the colonel" Cropper - Atlantic StaxMark Knopfler - Dire StraitsDavid Gilmour - Pink FloydDuane Allman - Allman Bros.Andres Segovia - eponymousBrian May - QueenLindsey Buckingham - Fleetwood MacBuddy Guy - eponymousNotice I say favorite not best, I can respect Clapton's ability while not "feeling" anything from him as a player. I really like guitarists that make me feel something.I know that there is a forum for this stuff, but I ask to keep this thread or others in the Bengals forum to provide an escape.

COB Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Tom Morello. Billy Gibbons. The intro to Just Got Paid is sublime. And he is endorsed by none other than Hendrix himself, who knew Gibbons and said he was one of the best guitarists around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnson85 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 In no certain order...just all badass guitar players. But in my opinion Satriani is the best cause he is not only great technically but he is also knows tons of music theory. its just amazing to hear him explain how to play some of things he plays. He knows his stuff.Joe SatrianiKirk Hammett Jason Becker - If you don't know about him, check him out on YoutubeAlex LifesonYngwie Malmstien Steve VaiEddie Van HalenJohn PetrucciBucketheadPrinceSlashRandy RhodesJimi HendrixCarlos SantanaSome newer Guitarists I like areMark Tremonti - Creed/ Alter BridgeMike Mushok - Staind, used to be in a shred metal band before staind. I've heard him solo in concert and he was pretty damn good.Synyster Gates - Avenged Sevenfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name was Deion Payton. He came in a side door with his guitar case in-hand, plugged his guitar into his amp and just played his ass off for a couple of hours. He was a combination of Bo Diddley and Jimi Hendrix among others. Very entertaining guy. Every bit as good, if not better, than the famous names in rock.

DesperateDerelict Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Stevie Ray Vaughn - no contest - he eats everyone else for lunchAlthough a confirmed Duane Allman afficianado, I agree SRV is top 5 - but so is Jeff Healey (I just l-o-o-o-o-ve slide guitar.) Check this out: Little Sister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out: Little SisterThanks! I've seen that one before and I agree it's phenominal...I was lucky enough to see SRV perform with Joe Cocker down at Riverbend the summer before he died. It is still the best concert I've ever seen - religious...SRV actually openned for Joe Cocker but even Joe Cocker said that it should have been the other way around.It's really hard to understand when someone like that gets taken from the world...
