Ultimate Guitarist Poll

Perhaps because his four-chord songs had a bigger impact than any song Yngwie Malmsteen's ever written using the entire fretboard.

I think Jimmy Page is a VERY overrated guitar player...not that he isnt good but it isnt like he was some revolutionary....he did the same shit that all others were doing.....im in no way saying he isnt good but he is mos def not the best

I think someone like Robert Cray or Eric johnson....maybe beck, could be considered the best

[quote=Uke] I think the greatest would be either

Jimi Hendrix

or

Kurt Cobain[/qoute]

tell me your joking about the Kurt Cobain part.....please,

DISCLAIMER:Im not bashing Kurt Cobain or Nirvana, i'm simply saying that there is no way in HELL that Kurt Cobain is the Greatest guitarest

EDIT: why aint the quote workin???

[CrazyCoder]

It basically is a mix between favorite and who you personally think is the best.

I'm surprised Robert Johnson isn't on the list

[ijaz]

Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple), is the best, in my opinion.

[kimi_kami]

if your guitar is inanimate than you should definitely quit.

[TT4646]

Er...not really. And for the love of God, leave the guy alone. So he connects with John Frusciante's guitar playing moreso than he does with anyone else's. So what? Fack off.

[jbond8035]

Exactly. There is a best though, its just different for each individual. As you said thats where opinion comes in.

Although technically the bet would be the gutarest who most people like most.

[Bunniculette]

I voted other.

"Evil" Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) of Death. He in my opinion was a great technical guitarist.

Sorry, but you are just utterly wrong.
NO ONE CAN SOUND LIKE THEM.
They can get close, but not perfect.
FYI, I have a '68 Strat that sounRAB pretty amazing.
Experts will tell you that tone IS in the fingers, not the equipment.
Maybe you should pick up a Guitar World mag. They actually had an issue devoted completely to the world's fifty greatest tones. ( In the lead up to the article, THEY conveyed that tone WAS in the fingers)
Many guitarists can get the tone they want from any kind of equipment.
That is why experts believe the tone is in the fingers.
It is an unexplained phenomenon. (I'm sure you could explain it though, right i.e equipment)?
By this perspective, my fingers have more music in them than your entire pedal board
And who are these "many" that have perfectly emulated SRVs tone?
Apparently, YOU have a lt to learn about music.
(Maybe you should lay off the sautering kit that "perfectly emulates tone" and focus instead on the music itself)
