Who is the guitarist that used to play with Billy Idol? He was a shredder.
I've heard Cinnamon Girl and Southern Man 100s of times and I guess it must be a matter of taste, but to me, the guitar work in there by Young is not that spectacular. In fact, I always liked Steven Stills' sound the best out of all the guys in CSNY.
Steve Stevens. Don't forget he also rocked on "Dirty Diana" for the King of Pop.
I also like Mark Knopfler, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, George Benson.
stills alone! f yeah
ohio and down by the river are better examples of youngs dominance
I don't think a guitarist has to have spectacular licks or speed to be great.
Jose Feliciano is a of a guitarist but some just don't see it.
True, some guitarists have a soulfulness about them that make them great, even though they may not be always technically on it.
Scott Gorman and Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy
Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult
I'm a HUGE Ozzy fan! Love all his guitarists!
Who woulda thought that a Urkel fan is a Randy Rhoads fan????
I love Rhoads too!
dude just because i enjoy 1990s black family comedy doesnt mean i cant appreciate a bad ass guitar prodigy when i see one
one thing about ozzy, he knows his guitar prodigies
see: rhodes, randy wylde, zakk
flea? is that his name? the one from red hot chilli peppers
flea is a bassist and a damn good one i may add
rhcp have had john frusciante as their guitarest as of late
their first guitarest was hillell slovak, he killed himself
they had Dave Navarro (one of my personal faves) for the album One Hot Minute (one of my personal faves)
It's all good man....I was just kidding with ya...
And I agree with ya...
Michael Houser of Widespread Panic.
who says i been listening to badass people play the guitar?
By the way, the question is smart. Avoiding the dumb "Who's the best guitarist..." is a must, in the end it's a matter of taste. Is Satriani a virtuoso or just a very "technical" one (dont know the literal translation of that, sorry). Is composition more important than performance? or the other way? etc.. etc...
I'd say Jimi Hendrix. He's the only artis who's guitar work I can listen to without any vocals in the song.
well i can understand if yall are listing people other than hendrix or srv
but its not even close
no other guitarists have even come close to making me cry
srv is technically equal to jimi, jimi is probably the better musician, although srvs voodo child (sr) i must admit is better than jimis and srvs little wing is better than jimis
although if jimi could record a really long live improvised version it would most likely be better
You should check out some Carlos Santana, SRV, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank Gambale, Al DiMeola, George Benson, Chet Atkins and a host of others who sing through their guitars.
But yeah, Jimi rocks!!
I love SRV but to say his versions are better than Jimi's is a matter of taste, not fact. I love Jimi's versions better and so did SRV.
Thanks. I must say that I really don't like Carlos Santana though. My favorite mucisian of all time is David Bowie, but he doesn't play very much guitar. Jimi Paige does very good guitar work also imo.
i just say srvs vd and lw are better because of length and sound quality
naturally a cover cant cover jimi
What!! Don't like Carlos Santana!?!?!?!?!?
He has probably one of the most recognizable guitar tones in the world.
But I know it is all in the ear of the listener.
I really enjoy David Bowie's music too. Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes!
You are correct sir!!!
i dont really like carlos either
his voice doesnt appeal to me
although i was burnt out on him be the age of 8 due to my stepdad and uncles
