Best 4 0R 5 Guitarists

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by TesseLated, Apr 19, 2014.

  1. I've been listening to electronic music for awhile-but the past couple days have gotten back into the '70's music/rip guitar. Title says it-Who's done the most for a particular guitar style-or what players do you like best? Once you become a player you see it all differently-all the creativity and the feeling of it.
     
    Jimmy Page, Jerry Garcia, Jack White, Neil Young-those are probably my top-each of them having a different kind of style. I'm not necessarily talking about noodlers like Steve Vai-that type of good-but about their style....AC/DC-Tool-Stevie Ray Vaughn-it goes on and on. Hopefully some people still listen to it..bunch of stoners after all

    My two favorite rock guitarists are:
     
    Jimi Hendrix (Innovate and expressive use of the instrument)
    Jimi Page  (great all around skill, great compositions)
     
    My two favorite jazz guitarists are:
     
    Django Reinhardt (great ability and great compositions)
    Wes Montgomery (great ability, fantastic feel)
     
    I've got one slot open - I think that would have to go to Steve Cropper (Great feel, great team player) of Stax fame.
     
  5. OMAR

    Hah-How did I know you'd say the last one there? ;)
     
    Put some up-I haven't heard of the first.
     
  7.  
     
    Hell yes for Hendrix-Evident listening to his music that he tripped balls..but that made it even better- He had amazing skill-he's definitely my other slot-haha
     
    Heard of Django-but haven't listened- I saw John Scofield awhile back with Medeski, Martin, Wood  great show
     
  8.  Im'll listen to Omar right now
     
  9. the first is the original guitarist.....

    Listened to Omar 
    He's got a Zappa kind of long extended jam style-very good doing stuff around the house music..I would get alot of stuff done on the first-
     
    Not saying he lifted Zappa at all-but maybe it was an influence. The last one there is a definite go to for smoke time.
     
    If you like that- listen to Tortoise-they are all amazing musicians-there's no lead-they all just jam for extended periods of time

    This one is quiet^
    I was looking for some footage of when I saw them @Bonnaroo, but there aren't any good angles/camera shots that aren't jumping around and people woo-hoo-ing
     
  12.  He definitely had the Steve Vai thing going on...I know CoC-you'd probably like Clutch-they aren't as aggressive/angry-its great stoner rock-Saw @ Bonnaroo too-I don't think we even slept-and we were camped in bumfuck-and it was so hot you couldnt even sleep in a tent-but I'd do it again oh would I-and will again just not this year-the school year always fucks me up
    Back in a while to listen to the rest-Its fucking cold outside so Im'll make the most of the last day of my break- stay stoned all day and listen to music ;)
     
  13. Alex lifeson of RUSH is damn good.
     
  14. Robert Fripp
    Jimmy Page
    Jimi Hendrix
    David Gilmour 
    Django Reinhardt

    One of the greatest guitarists ever.... Flat out... But he is a cocky ass hole. He can hold notes for sooooo damn long too. it gets really good once he picks up the electric guitar @ 3:45.

  19. Didn't mean to kill the thread xD 
     
  20. No way-Dated some guitars players that were enchanted with him..Listened to his stuff over and over until they could play it-One in particular could play him really well. And you won't kill this thread...no no...Too many great guitarists out there. He's just a great one of a particular style.
     
    Robert Randolph is Amazing to see live-He's plays mostly music fests-so funky. I danced during one of his shows until I was exhausted..literally had to sit down toward the end. That's such a good feeling-esp when you're working off something X-tra. ahha
