Tall Farlow my favourite but Les Paul leaves everyone else standing. Farlow died a few years ago but I think Les is still playing.
In the image of God? You must be joking!
with chobbers on it... tristen is awesome!
Big Imagination For Feeling Young Cause Life Yearns Real Optimism
Did anyone else get into arguments at school about whether Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) or Eric Clapton (Yardbirds / Cream) was The Greatest?
Seems childish now, but important at the time.......
Son House and Robert Johnson's guitar work is awesome. Impeccable timing..... Jimmy Page / Zeppelin I still listen to regularly...... Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of "Little Wing" knocks Hendrix's into a cocked hat. And I suspect that Roy Buchanan was probably a lot faster than Alvin Lee... so it all depends! Mood's the thing.
IMHO (thanks Jwock)
Roy B slays both Alvin Lee & Clapton, but that's not hard
however the guitarists being "on the planet" means that Roy sadly doesn't count, gawd rest his ciggared soul
& of the 2 that are still going one wonders if they were ever alive, nah I do like some of Page's work with Zeppelin but Alvin Lee makes me hooch with laughter
nobody's mentioned Hank Marvin yet
Chobbers, you sound like someone with a lot more knowledge of guitars and music than I have! Can't play any musical instrument (well, honourable mention for a kazoo, maybe), and I confess I missed the bit about them being alive....... yes, poor old Roy Buchanan. His version of "Hey Joe" is the canine's gonads
No contest, has to be David Gilmour.
Well, I'm not naming someone else. I voted Gary Moore, I grew up with him and still think he is awesome. He was probably the biggest influence of my teenage years and not a week goes by when I don't listen to 'The Wild Frontier' album.
Who is the best?
Its between
Allan holdsworth/Vai/Satriani/Blackmore/Page/Hendrix
Who can play the fastest?
Michael Angelo - fast but dull.
Who is the most melodic?
Steve Morse and his eclectic chops.
Who dazzles you with innovation and creativity?
Guthrie Govan - buy Erotic Cakes now!!
Whos the daddy??
Django Reinhart - two fingers didn`t stop his diminished arpeggios!!
It's all down to personal preference at the end of the day.
I really think Stevie Ray Vaughan is great, I like John Petrucci, Brian May, Jimmy Page, James Hetfield/Kirk Hammet. I don't think I could choose one of them though. I like them all!
The Edge fae U2,closely followed by Davie Gilmour.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
John Hausrath - the Springpark Satriani. You'd sandpaper your own eyeballs to be as fine as Hoose. Legend.
John Hausrath? Big John? Chef? Surely there can't be many John Hausrath's around?
Yer thinkin' o' Hausrath senior, there, Jeid. Hausrath junior could shred more notes than Mr Wong in one afternoon at the Bookies. Word.
