Ultimate Guitarist Poll

[Looking forward]

Slash is great, but far from the best.

If this is based on skill then batio wins over both hendrix and page.
I disagree with his work being untasteful.
Have you heard his instrumental version of Dream On?
Or his Zeppelin compilation?

If its not him, then its definitely not hendrix or page.

[Macaveli]

Wow! This thread started with Hendrix and Kurt Cobain in the same sentence, talking about the best guitarist ever! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha.............

I'd stick with:

Hendrix
SRV
BB King
or something like that

You just don't get what I'm saying. I agree with you that you can measure technical skill, but when it comes to things like composition, you just can't measure it and that's what the poll was also about, not just about technical skill. Of course Cobain is a stupid choice if it was just that, but like you said, it was his killer riRAB that made him good or "skilled," as you put it, in the eyes of some.

Contradiction is as follows:



Then later:

[Aconalo N]

Technical ability is useless, but I voted Matt Bellamy.

[Matt W]

How in the world could you start a thread about the greatest guitarists and then mention kurt cobain? He plays the same 4 chorRAB in like every nirvana song.

That is a very informative list of great guitarist RezZ. One of the better list I've seen on a music forum. I have been in many debate's about who is the best. And the answer seems to alway's end with, 'There is no best'. Only the best of the best. As to keep myself from being attacked by others, I usually state, 'Who is your favorite guitarist'?, etc. And even then, someone will always twist & turn the word's to fit their own criteria. So..,there are just to many different style's, & level's of talent, to state one is 'the best'. We all may have our individual opinion's on who is the best, But in the end. You will find that most musician's will agree, and come to the same conclusion....Peace Brother.

These days? Where have you been? As soon as you bad mouth someone's favourite anything there's always a consequence. I don't understand why then don't just say "Yeah, ok, good for you," and generate some sort of sense of humour.

[Bullets From Tears]
