Greatest Guitarists Ever...

[Sexy Jasper]

Clapton or Page...

[INF]

At the end of the day though , the best that there has ever been thus far is Hendrix. There many that are great or were but nobody will ever be at one with the instrument like that man was. I give SRV his due for tryin to give Hedrix his due. That was tight.

Nice thread, and good thing that yall mentioned plenty of em great solo guitarists... But to me the greatest is Jimi and only him. I think nobody expressed themself so much as Hendrix did through an electric guitar.. props!

[oDoUoSoKo]

Garry Shider? Mike Hampton? Eddie Hazel? (Listen to Funkadelic!) Johnny Guitar Watson, Vernon Reid... Those are TIGHT guitarists!

super stupid...all i got to say.

[DR. NICK RIVIERA]

Black math is sick.

Cobain tried new stuff but while he was doing it he was junked out to the point to where he couldnt even progress properly. He should be noted as a good player though. All off his work was good art.

Tom Morello(sp?) from Rage is up there on creativity.

I completly agree with you. I hope for another Raconteurs album, just for a longer one and with more crazy songs...I think White still has it he is my personal saver

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

my personal best

1. Hendrix
2. BB King
3. Clapton
4. Cobain

Those are the 4 who I think get the best sound form a guitar, it doesnt really matter how technically good you are, its who plays it with the most feeling and timing
