No one can name greatest guitarists, because every one has a different opinion. We should at most name most favorite guitarists...
That rolling stone list seems to be senseless. The lack of Slash there proves that. You don't need to like Slash to argue that he should be in any top 100th guitarist list whatever is the name: "100 greatest guitarists", "100 Most famous guitarists", "100 most influential guitarists" or even "100 most stylish guitarists". I mean, Steve Vai and Satriani not being in the list means whoever did the list doesn't understand anything about guitars. But Slash is way too famous to go unseen by who made that list... If you want to see how people vote: http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/greatest...arists-ever.asp It is not a surprise Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are not on the first spots. They are arguably amongst the most technical and talented, but they are not the most famous. And that is what polls are about... About Jimmy Hendrix he does deserve a good spot, but I think most people vote on him just vote because they heard he is the best, and not for listening to his recordings...

QUOTE (Smikey2006 @ Apr 27 2008, 07:23 PM)  " put feeling in your playing" thing is over rated.. not to say these guys weren't good.. but if no one has realised it.. "feeling" is the choice to add bends and vibrato and to play notes that are very melodic.. anyone can play with feeling, others choose to shred.. I agree about your general observations, but pretty much disagree about the feeling stuff. Not everyone can play with feeling. Also not every one can shred, and other people do shred with feeling. And those who can play with feeling do it in very different ways.(after all feeling comes from inside ) David Gilmour or Slash are amongst my favorites, while shredders with no feeling look impressive to me, but I really don't listen to then that often. The only problem is that rating feeling is totally subjective. This post has been edited by Gus: Apr 27 2008, 07:22 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

QUOTE (Mark. @ Apr 27 2008, 10:08 AM) I guess this list is made by someone who doesn't play guitar, most people who don't play guitar think a guitarist is a good guitarist when he writes nice songs, not when he is techniqual skilled. Also if you don't play guitar names as Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Michael Angelo Batio say nothing to you, so why would you put them in a list then. This list is pure crap, it's just like you let a guitarist make the top 100 trompet players  You mean, Johnny Ramone at #16, and those guys left off, you have a problem with that? http://youtube.com/watch?v=yQ9kOamgaU0&feature=related Well, the Ramones never made me yawn like all those guys, and they did invent punk. There are videos from the early 70's that demonstrate that it was the Ramones that invented punk, no question about it, evidence is clearly there. |

There are videos from the early 70's that demonstrate that it was the Ramones that invented punk, no question about it, evidence is clearly there. If you want the list based on that criteria, well Joe Satch and Steve Vai pretty much made the genre of Melodic Shred, and John Petrucci helped create Progressive Metal. And yawn? http://youtube.com/watch?v=t25AOSxZZkI And even if the list was based on most creative as far as making genres go, punk is more than just the guitar, which is pretty much just simple barchord/powerchord rhythms, but this is the best GUITARIST list, not songwriter, whatever.
