Favourite rock 'n' roll guitarist?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpkVt9XTdtg

Billy Duffy, The Cult. Great solo, amazing song.

 

You have Slash but no Johnny Thunders or Keith Richards? For shame! :tongue:

 

lol what about ted nugent!!! kidding...but richie sambora should be on that list .

 

I hope you were kidding!

Ted Nugent = :ack:.

 

Hey, back in the day, Nugent could play circles around most guitarists. You might not like him, but he was talented as hell.

 

i can't narrow it down

 

I think hands down Jimi Hendrix was the best..(thats just my opinion, lol)

 

Please post an example of a Ted Nugent song that demonstrates his guitar talent. Song name and album please.

 

i agree with localhippie jimmy page was crazy in led zeppelin

 

jimi and carlos

 

My vote goes to... Slash

 

Joe Satriani.....is totally queer. just cause you can play the whole book of music theroy doesnt make you good. jimmy page is best around IMO.

 

Gilmour and Page

 

Jimmy Page all the way, I've been in lust with him ever since I saw his performances on the Zep DVDs. He put his heart and soul into every song and it shows.

Runner up - Jeff Beck

 

I love Led Zeppelin, but Page is way overrated. So is Bonham, come to mention it.

My personal favourites are:

1. Stevie Ray Vaughan
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Buckethead
4. Billy Duffy (best ROCK guitarist ever imo)
5. David Gilmour
6. Johnny Marr
7. Gary Moore
8. Jeff Beck
9. Jeff Healey
10. Kirk Hammett
11. Steve Vai
12. Eddie Van Halen
13. Jimmy Page
14. Dimebag Darrell
15. James Hetfield

 

The following are the guitarists that I am not familiar with. Would you mind telling me what songs off what recordings best demonstrate their talent?

3. Buckethead
4. Billy Duffy
6. Johnny Marr
10. Kirk Hammett
15. James Hetfield

Thanks

PS Although I am familiar with dimebag Darell could you include the same info.

 

Jimmy Page

 

Garcia.

 

Lol, whatever. Joe Satriani is a genius.

And what have you got against gays?

 

Buckethead - Virtuoso guitarist who has played in many bands such as Praxis, Deli Creeps etc. Plays every style, from country to death metal. He wears a KFC bucket on his head and white mask on his face. Friend of Paul Gilbert and the late Shawn Lane.

Johnny Marr - From The Smiths, The The, Electronic, Johnny Marr and The Healers, Modest Mouse. Not a guitar hero in the conventional sense e.g. Jimi Hendrix, SRV, but amazing nonetheless.

Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield - Metallica. Hammett does most of the solos, and Hetfield most of the riffs.

Dimebag Darrell - Metal pioneer from the early nineties. Brought about groove metal on his own and has inspires just about every metal guitarist since.

There you go.
