lets get away from solos for a while.. my fav rythm guitarists/riffers . nuno buttencort eddie van halen dimebag darrell also take into account innovativeness,quality of riffs.
Just the thing i was looking for Angus Young Ritchie Blackmore Toni Iommi Brian Tattler (Diamond Heads - u gotta check this band) Hank Shermann (my riff god - unfortunately not many ppl have heard MercifulFate) Dave Mustaine/James Hetfield (both seem almost similar to me) Eric Peterson Jimi Hendrix (oh yeah using diff / weird chord voicings) Dimebag Darell will add more
Eddie Van Halen Jimi Hendrix Tommy Emmanuel Joe satriani (seriously!!) Eric Johnson Mark Knoffler Jethro Tull
I presume this refers only to rock players since in the blues, jazz and classical world, all players play both lead and rhythm. In which case: EVH Dave Mustaine Eric Johnson (although his chord voicings are jazz-oriented) Robert Fripp/Trey Gunn (on Warr guitar) Andy Summers Scotty Moore (Elvis's guitar player) Frank Zappa If it includes jazz: John McLaughlin Wes Montgomery Pat Metheny Robert Johnson Charlie Christian Egberto Gismonti Django Reinhardt John Scofield Birelli Lagrene
Best Rhythm Guitar players- 1) Dave Matthews(no one beats this guy!!!) 2) Daniel Mongrain(Martyr)- best metal riffer BY FAR!!!! 3) Jeff Waters(Annihilator) 4) Jeff Loomis(Nevermore) 5) James Murphy(Testament) 6) Nuno Bettencourt(Extreme) 7) Chuck Shuldiner(Death) 8) Dave Mustaine(Megadeth) 9) Kelly Shaefer(Atheist) 10) Michael Lee Firkins
Dimebag Darrel ... EVH Dave Mustain Steve Morse Blackmore Loomis Jeff Waters( of Nevermore ) Eric Johnson Alex Laiho Nuno Bettencourt
The Martyr guy Fredrik Thordendal/ Mårten Hagström Kelly Shaefer Chuck Shhuldiner Jon Levasseur Karl Sanders The Guys From The Dillinger Escape Plan Erik Rutan Frank Zappa :grin: Adam Jones.... etc.... heh...half of the people in my list are mentioned already
joe pass is awesome..i also have one of his instructional vids..where he teaches chord substituitions and has a very simple way to go abt things.. truly awesome musician with a sense of humour..hehe.
ahem...I dont have an all time list but here are my current favs Fripp Lake from ELP does some nice stuff( a big fan of ELP right now) Petrucci(Glass Prison owns all metal riffs) Andy Latimer( From Camel, another one of my current favs) Dimebag Morello...cant believe u guys forgot him
Dave Mustaine Jeff Loomis Tom Morello Jon Levasseur Chuck Shuldiner Dimebag Darrell Billy Howerdel Mikael Åkerfeldt
Count me in. I too think he's great but his other guitarist is better. While we're at it add Dominic miller to the list (Sting's guitarist)
