[Doomie]

[Jimsour]

I havent got a list. My favorite guitarists are ones that dont try and show off every two seconds with a fancy guitar lick or whatever, it just doesnt do it for me.

Basically, myself, because i'm crap and I need an excuse to say I'm good.

The fella from children of bodom is very good at what he does.

[Aurons_Desciple]

I wouldn't choose any of those guys

1. Eric Clapton
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Pete Townshend

Dime bag: former Pantera
Kirk Hammet (only because i learned how to play the guitar to metallica): Metallica
Romell Regulacion: Razed in Black

Brain twitchin' can't think of anything else ... and this is in no real order

[Venom]

7.Jake E Lee-Ozzy
Ew no, Randy Rhoads was miles better with Ozzy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, and Robby Krieger.

Jake E lee was still pretty awesome though.

[Crushed Hope]

1. Don Anderson (Agalloch, Sculptured)
2. Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation)
3. Loïc Cellier (Belenos, Artesia)
4. Devin Townsend (The Devin Townsend Band)
5. Denny Blake (Stargazer)

[o_O]

Michael Angelo Batio is probably the greatest.

Alexei isn't as good as some, but what he composes is fantastic.

[feioncastor]

In my sincere opinion, Phil Keaggy is the best musician to ever pick up a guitar.

He's not too well known amongst non-guitarists, and understandably so. Heck, he's not even that well known amongst guitarists. He's a Christian recording artist. And, interestingly enough, he's missing a finger. Yet he still manages to play stuff that I couldn't dream of playing. And I've been working at it for a while now!

But I also love Kirk Hammet (because I love Metallica, shut up), Angus Young, Dimebag Darrell, and my older brother Joe. That guy is nuts. It's like unreal how good he is. You don't expect to meet people who can play like him in real life.

[Skarr]

Slash, Joe Perry and Carlos Santana.

[Pete for President]

Angus Young, AC/DC.

[Novaris]

Jimmy Page, Jimmi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads and Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. Deep Purple <33333.

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

Joe Satriani
Eric Johnson
Alex Lifeson - Rush
Michael Dowdle

[chaos_ghost]

It's a shame not many people listed Santana or Hendrix, the best to ever play imo. So yeah, Hendrix and Santana.

[Brian The Pink Shark]

My favorite has got to be Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash (i have a plectrum of his!!! :D )

also i love David Gilmour and Joe Satrianni , they are both fantastic guitarists :choc:

[sephirothishere]

Kirk Hammet (only because i learned how to play the guitar to metallica): Metallica

are you like..askin for an ass kickin..he sucks....


Michael Angelo Batio is probably the greatest

again.are you like..askin for an ass kickin..he sucks....
why do you think batios any good????do you even play guitar????if so...do you like...suck....

becker is the best guitarist ever...tahts a fact......slash is cool....but friedman and becker are totally better...they can out play anyone...

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

sephirothishere, we do NOT speak to other members like this. Don't let me see you do it again. People can have their own opinions, and it is no excuse to insult either their tastes or their own abilities.

[Mitch]

1. Dave Gilmour
2. Christian Livingstone (The Datsuns)
3. EC
4. ME

[Aurons_Desciple]

Oh man can't believe i forgot David Gilmour, shame on me :mad2: Go Floyd

[o_O]

Kirk Hammet (only because i learned how to play the guitar to metallica): Metallica

Uh, ok. Yes, I have played guitar in several bands since my first year of highschool. That was 8 years ago.
I don't know if you're claiming that he sucks just to be different or if you just plain don't know anything about his style of music, but bandwagons aren't always wrong.

You also say Hammett sucks. Kirk Hammett happens to be one of the most influential guitarists for modern heavy metal. Surely Metallica's cult following (and Hammett's, for that matter) can't be all mistaken?

Can you play guitar anywhere near as well as either of them?
Didn't think so. ;)

*Air Guitars* I love guitars!!

bet i could out play hammet blindfolded with two of my fingers tied together.....and batio might be fast but the he plays stuff thats easy to play fast...like 3 string patterns that dont require wide stretches such as teh aeolian mode which seems to be a favourite of his....and hammett...i wont even bother talkin bout....he is the weakest player ever....but if anyone can play anything by becker as well as becker himself i would be majorly impressed...as he has such good technique...and anyway if you said you could play it...i probably wouldnt believe you as your technique would be real sloppy....so that doesnt count....but i did forget to mention

shawn lane is a great player
greg howe
zakk wylde
dime is the best ever metal player.....

and evastio.....when i said becker was the best....that wasnt an opinion....

Actually saying Becker is the best guitarist ever is an opinion. And how do you know you could out play Hammet under those conditions? Have you actually done it? I call BS.

[thehylianloach]

I like D'Arcy Wretsky for bass and Billy corgan for guitars

[escobert]

David Gilmour

[sephirothishere]

Jake E lee was still pretty awesome though

is this the dude that played with his thumb and got like 15 fret stretch...


And how do you know you could out play Hammet under those conditions? Have you actually done it? I call BS.


exaggeration..maybe...but seriously....you guys dont know what your talkin bout here....

[Aurons_Desciple]

It's a shame not many people listed Santana or Hendrix, the best to ever play imo. So yeah, Hendrix and Santana.

I would have put Santana instead of Satriani but at the time i was listening to 'Down, Down, Down' by Satriani. Santana is good but i haven't heard anything good from since his 'Black Magic Woman' days (1970's)

lol.

As Arucard said, it is your opinion that Becker is the best.

Actually I didn't claim to be able to play anyone's material, I said I had played guitar for eight years; even so, how can you tell my skill based upon my music preference?

...Oh what's that?
You can't. :)

[Mitch]

Sephirophishere, you've contradicted yourself and your digging yourself a hole. Want a shovel?

You say Michaelangelo's a <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> guitarist, yet Becker has perfect technique? Technique is not what makes a great guitarist. All these guitarists have great technique, especially Michaelengelo (he's the fastest- i think his technique is pretty down) and Kirk Hammet.

What makes a GREAT guitarist isn't technique. Sure, it helps a lot, but it has to sound good. Think of it like this: while a lot of people can draw and paint amazingly truthful representations of nature, not every single one of them is remembered. To be remembered and acclaimed as a great artist, you have to have the soul of the artist (a la Andy Warhol). The same is true with guitar.

Basing your arguement on technique alone will get you nowhere. Sure, I freakin hate the way Slash plays guitar, but I do admit his technical skills are pretty damn good. Same goes for Michaelangelo.

Shut up. If you're better than Kirk Hammet, prove it. If you're not, say it now and gain some respect.

bull!!!!!!!!....hammett has the worst technique i have ever heard....and becker has the right balance of creativity and technique....adn becker actually plays stuff that is hard unlike batio...and....if you just listen to the david lee roth album a lil aint enough you will be very impressed.....

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

So, if you know everything about guitarists (just assuming you do since you speak as if you were the bible), where's your album? When are you going on tour? Where's your critics website? Why doesn't anyone seem to accept your "truth" without question?

Yes, they were/are are all good. Some have different styles than each other and some play closer to the book in terms of technique than others. Despite that this is an FF forum, some of us do know what the hell when we are talking about guitarists. I'd like to see your credentials that entitle you to your "truths", and then maybe we may be a little more open to accept your ideas. If you completely own Batio in a concert on stage, then we may be more willing to think he "sucks".

[Mitch]

I never said Becker wasn't great. I haven't heard enough fom him to talk about him properly. I highly doubt Hammet would have the worst technique you have ever heard. Come on be reasonable. I'm not a fan of heavy metal style guitaring but I have watched Hammet play on various dvds etc. and he is definatley a technical virtuoso.

He practices up to three hours a day (according to my old guitar teacher) from the Berkley books. Anyone who manages to work their way through all those books and still uses them is bound to have pretty freakin good technique. They are great books. Check them out if you haven't already.

this is my friends website..... www.altheripper.moonfruit.com
he shares the same ..."opinions"as me...



He practices up to three hours a day

virtuosoes should practice 9 hours....and hammett is pathetically weak....he is a nice guy though....but he is a crappy player...

oh an dhte reason i havent released an album is because i havent got a very unique style....it jus sounds like some other guy that already has an album...so im workin hard on improvisin and songwritin and stuff...

[Pure Strife]

Vituosos should practice nine hours? Nah, not if they don't need to. And Becker is good, but I wouldn't put him anywhere near the best guitarists I've ever heard. He may be technical, and have the technique, but that doesn't mean a thing compared to a good tune. Then again, I don't like Batio, Satch or Vai much either, virtuosos tend to bore me.

My favourite guitarists would have to include Jerry Cantrell (AiC), Alexi (Bodom), Deron Miller (CKY), Chuck (Death), Pepper Keenan (Corrosion, Down), Ginger (The Wildhearts), Tom Morello (Rage), Dan and Pin (Sikth), Claudio and Travis (Coheed), and Friedman (Megadeth). All musicians who can put together some damn fine riffs, and top them up with the odd amazing solo. A good riff and a well thought out solo means more to me and speed and technique any day, and I've been playing for around four years now.

Didn't think so. ;)After reading your post ... i have come to the conclusion that you sound like an automation, and very uncool. (AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU)
You are regurgitating what you have heard, but there isn't anything solid in your arguements to add validity. Its just puffing out your chest and squaking as loud as you can to grab everyone attention and focus it on you.

Just because i learned to play guitar by playing someones music (whom you think has no technique) doesn't mean i am lookin' for an ass kickin' ! But i highly doubt that you'd be the one to do it ... pft ...

If you can play, good for you. Remember thinking and doin are 2 different things. Also air guitar isn't really playing guitar. I really don't care what you can or (most likely can't) do. Those who can't, teach and criticize ... Good for you to have a mate who believes what you do. Wow, 2 people who believe the same thing ... it must be true !

And if you have no style, technique is wasted...

I have never had anybody complain that because i learned to play guitar by playing metallica that i can't play, have no technique, style or am just a plain suck ass guitarist ...

But hey, you think what makes you feel good. After all its only your OPINION ... nothin' that will throw the world off its rotation.

You have made some large judgements there, with little backing.

Sure, I have heard this stuff before, and sure, it is regurgitated, but I'm not claiming to have come up with these ideas myself. It is considered by many to be fact (Note: "by many" is not asserting that this is fact. Try to realise that. :)). I'm not saying you have to agree with it or like him, but in my opinion, he has had a huge influence on heavy metal and thrash music. For the record, I don't like Hammett, or Metallica.

All musicians who can put together some damn fine riffs, and top them up with the odd amazing solo. A good riff and a well thought out solo means more to me and speed and technique any day, and I've been playing for around four years now.

I really never expected anyone to mention Deron Miller, or Claudio Sanchez, but they're both fantastic.

Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Warren Haynes, BB King, Chuck Berry, and Neil Young. All are amazing with both electric and acoustic guitars, and Duane Allman and Warren Haynes could/can both play a mean slide guitar.
