Who is your personal favorite? Tell me who is missing in the poll or who you like most, glad to hear new stuff!

There obviously isn't THE best guitar player on the world, maybe we can agree on Hendrix tho, although everyone might find his own personal favorite, share your opinion!


#1  Gilmour
I am going with David Gilmour by far on this. Pink Floyd has been my favorite group for years now and they still lead by far.
He's my personal #1, he might not be the best technician nor is he the fastest player, but the typical Gilmour sound and Pink Floyd's greatest songs is everything I wish on my funeral. Also he is one of my favorite singers ever aswell (screaming background on pigs - 3rd spoiler - fucking incredible!)

#2 SRV
My newcomer and the reason why I make this thread is Stevie Ray Vaughan, like wtf, I feel like I missed his skills half my life, listening to him for years now but never regocnize his genius, woaaaaaah

#3 Hendrix
When I was a kid I saw the picture of him kneeling in front of his burning guitar. Back then I thought he was playing so good that it caught fire. I was right.

Maybe if Coronoa virus gets rid of 50 percent or more of the world population we can do without a pope and religion.

CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

(click to show/hide)

oh and PS. Kirk Hammet sucks Lars Ulrich's hairy balls... Only one from the original Metallica who has gas left in the tank but that isn't much of an achievement.

PPS. Did I not see Jimmy Page in the poll? Goddamit Cassi you have couple good ones there but don't make me slap you! :D
PPPS. Uh... No slap needed. Found Jimmy.

Forgot to mention something important. At first glance I didn't notice Clapton on the list... please remove him and put name J.J. Cale instead.

I'm just gonna throw some names that come after Dime in random order:

Chuck Schuldiner (Maybe not the most technical player but very creative.)
Zakk Wylde
Randy Rhoads
Billy Gibbons
Devin Townsend
Dave Mustaine
Karl Sanders
Dallas Toler-Wade
Michael Amott (Carcass days. Them dank riffs)
Roope Latvala
Alexi Laiho
Kerry King
Marty Friedman (Before he went all J-pop ugh...)
Steve Morse

Just to mention couple that weren't on your lists. Of course love those classic rock guitarists you listed Cassi & Leshma. SVR, EVH, Jimmy Page, Blackmore etc. undeniable skill and creativity.

Steve Morse's solos in this always give me goosebumps:

Example of Chuck Shuldiner's song writing ingenuity. Never heard anyone writing riffs like that before or after him:

you might appreciate this Odin, probably the best Chuck tribute I've heard, they really captured his style:


but yea, European tech death and power metal bands are always pushing the boundaries as far as technical guitar playing goes.

best guitarist is a hard call, there are so many song writers that I have immense respect for that I find it hard to make a short list

Where's the John Mayer? I did vote for B.B. just my personal favorite.
At 1:05 he goes crazy.

Also this...
Relationships
Mayer's famous girlfriends have included Jennifer Love Hewitt,[128] Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly,[161] Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, and an affair with singer Taylor Swift.[77]

A lot of good mentions there, Leshma. Eddie Cochran deserves a mention too, great talent.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

Good mentions overall. I'd definitely add Mikael Akerfeldt though. Maybe also Dan Swanö, but it'd be my unpopular personal opinion.
