Best rock guitarist?

808@702 · 12-13-2011, 06:20 PM

Whos the best of all time. Joe Satriani!

3_runner · 12-13-2011, 08:00 PM

...Too difficult a question to answer... Frampton is on my list though, so is Clapton... Each generation tends to have its "gems."

007MCoupe · 12-14-2011, 07:41 AM

SRV & Tom Morello are my top tied-for-first

The things Tom can do on a guitar are simply genius

Robin_NL · 12-14-2011, 08:09 AM

Clapton & Hendrix imo.

But Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Satriani too, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn etc etc.

cliverman · 12-14-2011, 09:39 AM

Hendrix!

808@702 · 12-14-2011, 03:20 PM

This is great, new guitarists to research. Morello and Stevens I never heard of.
Jimmy Page, Steve Vai, Gary Hoey...

He means Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Stevens played with a lot of big name acts.

007MCoupe · 12-15-2011, 03:47 AM

Started (and now back with!!!) with Rage, but also heard with Audioslave.

Thumbs up for Steve Vai. He's one I always forget about for some reason

Man, 25 years ago, I was sixteen back then, good old memories(and the Rocky movies too)

panicos81 · 12-15-2011, 04:51 AM

Stevie ray vaughan

zgood4u · 12-15-2011, 05:25 AM

Too many to name but a few that cross all genres, Hendrix, Page (more as a song writer), Clapton (paying homage to the Kings..Freddie, Albert, BB) Buckethead as a shredder, Van Halen, SRV (see Clapton notes), Vai, Randy Rhodes

ragingclue · 12-15-2011, 09:10 AM

Too broad of a spectrum to say really.

Clapton and Hendrix for sure. Page, SRV, Duane Allman, Richards, Chuck Berry....

zgood4u · 12-15-2011, 11:38 AM

forgot one of my favorites, Brian May

Bimmer84 · 12-15-2011, 06:48 PM

Yea, way too many to list, and most already have... except one... Prince. Not the first name that comes to mind, but in no way should be the last. Here is some eye candy....

zgood4u · 12-16-2011, 04:33 AM

Why you can't name just one!

BigDog · 12-18-2011, 11:24 AM

too many options....

maybe not the best, but some of my favorites.... adrian murray.... slash.... tommy iommi... etc

zgood4u · 01-21-2012, 07:51 AM

In my haste I neglected one of the very best:

txz4 · 01-26-2012, 11:42 PM

satriani. seriously not a question. There are people who are terrific at one or two things, but satch is good at everything.

nailer335 · 02-16-2012, 09:40 AM

Asking who the best guitarist ever is like asking what the best car is... Vague. I agree with some of the submissions above... And would like to add John Petrucci. Even though Victor Wooten is a bassist, I'll rep him any day.

Most people can't handle it... But there are countless amazing guitarists/musicians in the various hardcore scenes

CamelBiscuit · 02-18-2012, 06:40 AM

What about Dimebag Darrell?

Chewy734 · 02-20-2012, 11:03 AM

there are so many that you've already listed... also, slash, kirk hammett
