Greatest Rock Guitarist

[Rhailith]

In your opinion, who is the greatest rock guitarist?

[Paganini]

He's definitely not the most talented but my personal favorite is David Gilmour. Perfect example of how it's not how fast you play, but what you play.

[Elicas]

I was surprised to see Peter Frampton up there.

[Jackhowitzer]

You should of allowed us to make multiple choices :(.

[Tzacharu]

Someone make a bassist and vocalist poll already goddamnit!

Seconded. He plays very well. His tone is great. It really strikes a chord with me.

[Mippoose]

Buckethead.

[Vanno]

I prefer SRV to all those guys, but he is more bluesy. Guess I'll go with Jimi.

[Titus Ultor]

Mr. Jimmy Page.

Was never as innovative as Hendrix, but was more technically reliable and was awesome enough to break out violin bows to make some creepy-awesome sounds.

[Madrandomize]

Vai.

[Mr.LichTwitch]

Eric Clapton's not on the list? Unbelievable. Anyway. I can't pick between him and Jimi so I'll just leave it at that.

Honorable mention: Duane Allman.

Edit: If you like Clapton, you should listen to this man. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd60nI4sa9A)

[Mulambo]

I knew Jimi and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs.qft

[Drakhan]

I'd go with Slash. Not for actual skill but for cool factor.

Edit: Read his book (Biography). Good stuff.

[Barbarossa]

Kirk Hammett...greatest guitarist?

:lmao:

1# You missed out Vai and Marty Friedman.

2# There are too many catergories to guitar playing and showman ship to be able to define it soley under 'greatest'. My idea of greatest might be how good of a frontman they are, but yours might be how fast they can play.

Fail poll fails.

Just some examples of catergories;

- Speed playing
- Performance on stage
- Song writing prowess
- Melodious solo's
- Musical knowledge
- 'Cool' factor
- How much contributed to the music scene (dimebag darrel and the unique harmonic squeal technique he invented)

These are just a few off the top of my head. GG.

[Aragon]

David Gilmour is best ever.

Misses Ritchie Blackmore and Brian May.

Peter Frampton???

[Marelt]

This guy just stole somebodies thread from last night. You fail at forumfall.

QFT


How the fuck can you make a poll about anything dealing with a guitar and NOT include Eric Clapton??????

The guy is a walking, living, breathing guitar god.

[Lotharr]

Erm, didn't we have this exactly same thread here just yesterday?

Anyway, JIMI HENDRIX!!!!111
