my two favorite guitarists are not on the list, but out of the choices i pick Dave Murray. Im a huge Iron Maiden fan.
im not gonna vote...but kirk hammett...for makin me pick up the guitar in the first place...dunno what happened later on..but he s still cool in my books. dimebag darrell....for blowing my f*ckin brains out with his insane playin..and one of my favs of all time. slash....a really cool guitar player...and november rain has one of my fav solos. adrian smith and dave murray.....technically not brilliant..but have have some memorable work together.
slash showed how 2 play the guitar. solos are best of his.sweet child's solo is a cut above the rest :rockon: :boxed:
kirk hammett--made me pick up the guitar. I like em all but he was one of my biggest inspiration and btw WHERE IS JIMMY PAGE,TOMMI IOMMI??
guns n gore.... i dont know how to break this news to you ... but the solo in sweet child of mine is not the best solo of the world.
nah...more than half of the guys on ur list are self taught... i never said i hated slash..he is cool..but not a god he is made out to be.
wasn't talking about you specifically. what i meant to say was that whenever i ask someone about slash, 75% of the times i hear that he's a fluke and cannot play live and has serious technical problems etc.
slash rocks .... he's my fav ... jimmy page i adore ... we judge guitarists on technical ability a lot .. and most probably slash will rank really high but will get beaten by guys like jeff beck or page or others .... for me ... the essential quality that separates great guitarists from good ones is the ability to make guitars sound divine .. make a few notes speak to you directly ... n only a very few guitarists have that ... Slash certianly does ... so does jimmy page ... i think joe perry comes in that category .. and most definitely .. keith richardson ... So thats my way of looking at it ..
