Who is your favorite guitar player of all time?

No... EMB listed him above.

ye i love slash, playes with feeling, but page, rossington and collins are better in my opinion

easy one for me. it would have to be Buddy Guy.

Trey Anastasio, Winter

Eric Johnson
Eric Clapton
Lee Ritehour

Tommy Emanuel
Les Paul

Don't know if I posted already, but here goes.

Mattias Elkundh
Wes Montgomery
Jimmy Page
Eric Clapton

I like the Jesper Stromblad and Bjorn Gelotte (In Flames) aswell.

I must be getting old, I never heard some of the ones you guys have listed.

I'm sure most of the guitarists listed aren't that new...

lol ye ther 70s 80s ppl mostely

Yeah its not age but what I listen to. I don't much listen to any metal or hard rock, just not my cup of tea. Mostly jazz, blues, old stuff and cont Christian music. Which reminds me back in the 80s or 90s Phil Keggy was voted one of the best 5 guitar players in the world for I think it was 5 years in a rwo, but I don't listen much to him either. he's real good but I don't like his style.

I hope that doesn't mean I'm narrow minded LOL

One of the guitarists I listed, Wes Montgomery, was a jazz guitarist. Check him out, he did a lot of cool stuff.

Um I'd say Buckethead or Paul Gilbert

my top 5

1 kirk hammett!
2 kim thayil
3 slash
4 kurt cobain
5 james hetfield

I don't play favorites, see my profile.

Wow, thread resurrection!

I'd say something like:
1. Jimmy Page
2. John Frusciante
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Steve Vai
5. Thom Yorke/Jonny Greenwood/Ed O'Brien (the guys in Radiohead)

Anyone one for Yngwie Malmsteen?...He IS a viking

Les Paul for sure

Thanks...lol

What about Warren Haynes? I love Gov't Mule

I was talking about the other Les Paul,the guy who invented the Les Paul guitar. Check him out. But u can get in on it too.

got two favorites
clapton
santana

i have a feeling me and phip are going to aruge over this 1. santana=overrated
clapton=skilled, horrible voice..

but thts just ur opinion, and it does say favorite, not the best.

Yes, it does say "favorite"! and it doesn't ask who my favorite singer is either smart ass! lol

im just saying...he has a horrible voice

his voice has "character" a few million dollars worth of "character".
damn new yorker! lol

lol..its gona take "a few million dollars" to make his voice better...gotcha ther, dang *enter city*er.

Now listen skippy (hands on hips) with all the drugs he's done he's lucky he can remember the lyrics to any of his songs!
no seriously, you don't like his voice on "layla" or "after midnight"?

And Santana's not overrated. ever listen to samba pa ti?
we're gonna hafta agree to disagree (even though i'm right and you're wrong)!

Anybody know what kind of guitar carlos plays? i'm gonna get EMB to buy me one! trade in that fancy BMW and buy his buddy a new axe.

with all the drugs hes done hes lucky he can remember how to speak...let alone sing...and seriously no i dont. i think he sounds like hes a 70 year old man in the middle of the desert gasping for air. santana is overraated, thers much better guitar players then him...but he does play with feeling, i like tht. agree 2 disagree? thts like saaying my father was a terrific athlete...(long pause, with silence of others), he just never played any sports. (btw my grandemother said tht on christmas dinner last year.. it was the funniest thing id heard from her... we wer taking bout how athletic my dads family is, and then trying to defend her family says tht. (im jewish...y was i having christmas dinner...maybe it was haannuckah dinner idk)

LOL,
grammy's got a sense of humor!
She doen't drive a Vet does she?

...yes...she also drinks, smokes, goes 2 clubs, and rocks out to van halen...how manay grandmothers drive vets??? even if my grandmother got one, shed still drive 55 in a 65 mph zone...which p.o.'s me b/c i h8 slow drivers.

you would think the older they get the faster they'd drive! after all they'r running out of time. (i'm stealing this from a guy on comedy channel) Hey man, sorry to hear about your grandma. how'd she die?
She flipped her vet, man.

lol...so thts y u dont see grammy's in vets... btw i didnt see ur other post bout his guitar...he plays a prs i belive and i would trade my dad's bimmer for anything...well acctually... i would trade it to be born in o...hmmm 56...and have a huge taste for classic rock and heavy. i would wan 56 to see hendrix.

i have to admit i never heard of PRS. so i just googled them. you're right carlos plays one. Lots of artists play em. i'm getting an education tonight!
thanks

np...i should charge u, first showing u how bad clapton is, now this...(hes a good guitar player, horrible voice.)

Well, he's no Sam Cooke that's for sure, but look at how many hugely successful artists out there have marginal voices (that includes Jimi).

jimi had a gr8 voice...ok a good one, his lyrics and guitar make up for it.
