Favorite Guitarist [merged]

wats the name of the guitarist from dreamtheatre? he's good. was it patrucci or something. he's so far the best guitarist of recent years.

they've been around for ages though

Ritchie Blackmore, Tommy Bolin(dead), Eddie Van Halen, Duane Allman(dead). Jimmy Paige, Jeff Beck.

Matt Bellamy? Matt Bellamy??? MATT BELLAMY??????

Surely you guys have got to joking! Great songwriter he may be, cool pianist too... but AMAZING GUITARIST????? HELLLLLLLL NO!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for his guitar sfx then people would see how plain his guitar playing is. No disrespect to the guy, he obviously works hard and is a fantastic performer but to label him as the next Hendrix is beyond belief.

I don't mean to sound big-headed or anything but I would wipe the floor with him.

Hendrix all the way!

Brian May (the guy from Queen)

He's still alive!

so

Jimi
Santana
SRV
Clapton
Allman
Robert Johnson

I guess i'm partial to the bluesy guitars

WES MONTGOMERY
Django Reinhart

You know, I've never really rated Navarro very highly. He's good and all, but when I put him up against the complexity and originality of say, Peter Lindgren, he sounds comparatively average in my opinion.

Navarro's work in RHCP was disappointing, but live w/ Jane's Addiction, he palys some pretty badass solos

but Frusciante destroys him

Mine would have to be Pete Townshend, Brian Mays, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimmy Hendrix.

I searched for "Favorite Guitarists" and nothing came up. Just close this if there already a thread like this.

Joe Satriani
Hendrix
Steve Vai
Eddie Van Halen
Kevin Williams 😛
Adam Durkewich from Killswitch
Roland Grapow
