[I Bow 4 Che]

kurt your list is horrible!!! most of the people that posted are fairly uneducated about guitar players

My List:
(in no order)

1.Jerry Garcia (Greatful Dead)

2.Robin Trower

3. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) -the reason he is worshipped is because he finger picks

4.Jimmy Page~!!!!!!

5.Eric Clapton

6.Heres the deal with Jimi Hendrix:

I am a HUGE Jimi Hendrix fan-huge! The thing with him is, he was the best "of his time". There's quite a difference-but he was amazing.



Kurt Cobain...wtf!! Pixie is right...he's a great songwriter but not a good guitar player

and munky and head....uhhh...no

[ireallyhadablackout]

my favorite guitar player overall plays for Billy Idol.

His name is Stephen Stevens or Steven Stephens (two first names just like myself).

reason #1- he makes the sound for Billy Idols beautiful songs. (Billy has some beautiful songs!)

reason #2 - nice look, wild, clean, sexy, performs like a champ.

reason #3 - awesome hands!

overall he is the best!

Saw him perform for ah...maybe five minutes in San Diego and it was worth it!

[nz revolution]

Comrade Tom Morello.

Adam Jones is good too

plus the oldies, Hendrix, Page, Vaughn...

slipknot guitarists? I heard an arguement betwewn these two guys one was an excellent music student and the other had little knowledge of music apart from how to press play on a CD player and he swore that Mick was the best guitarist in the world... was amusing

kurt your list is horrible!!!
Why?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?


Kurt Cobain...wtf!! Pixie is right...he's a great songwriter but not a good guitar player
I think Cobain was a good guitar player. Maybe he was not Van Halen or Hendrix but he was very good rhythm guitarist. Thats why he is one of my favourites

hmm.....repetitive bar chords....WHAT TALENT!!

Kurt Cobain, as much as it hurts me to say this, was by far one of the worst guitar players out there. don't get me wrong. Nirvana will always be my all time favorite fand and all however I can safely say that even I am a better guitar player the Kurt and I have only been playing for about 2 years. Kurt was not the greatest guitar player because he never had an in depth understanding of music theory. He always had to get Khris Novoselic to tune his instruments for him because he didn't know how.

1. Jimi Hendrix

[hXcPetey]

also bobby dylan

[pixie]

Hendrix is probably my favorite, i sort of owe my style to him, maybe that guitarist from Sonic Youth because of the fucked up tuning on some songs.
And Morello for obvious reasons.

Thats probably about it, most guitarists are just copys of eachother, with no or little new inovative techinques.

[JoAnne Thrax]

Well, I hate to be all different, but...
- Masayuki Takanayagi
- Keiji Haino
- Derek Bailey
- Caspar Broetzmann
- and, of course, Hendrx.

[dardanmetushi]

Tom Morello(RATM) is the best

MORELLO

[InnocentCivilian]

Kurt you listed Pete townsend as your best guitarist.
what do you think of everything thats going on with him right now? innocent? guilty? weird?
anyone?

[commie kg]

Tom Morello

I think he's great because his sound is so unique. There is no other guitarist around that sounds quite like Morello. I think his work with RATM is better than his Audioslave stuff, but I like Audioslave as well.

[booga]

Tommie Morello

:biggrin:

[synthesis]

Innocent!

You mean that child porn thing? I think he is innocent because he have admitted that he have looked some child porn websites but the reason hi's looking those sites is that he is fighting against CP. He had also said that the police can watch hi's computer whenever they want. And he have own childrens too so i think he is innocent.

[Guardia Bolivariano]

Santana is god!!!!!!!!!
