Best Rock Guitarist

While this is mostly true, I would make two points.

Buckethead does have skill- you just explained that.

Secondly, I believe you mean while he is proficient, he is not necessarily musically talented. That is also not true.

the clip I saw didn't impress much.

Regardless, he is very skilled.

I wouldn't go crazy over the guy, but I thought I'd point it out.

Other

Why would you write 'other' and then fail to name them?

'Cos he's a genius... 🙄
i put Slas, but he's just a personal favourite. hendrix was the king! 🤘

Out of the poll of I would say Jimmy Hendrix and Angus Young.

what makes him skilled then?
I'm just wondering by pure curiosity, if I missed something.

Hendrix and clapton, but an honorable mention to Brian May and Keith Richards

He is one of the more technically able guitarists, actually. Very highly skilled.

I'm sure you know what constitutes technical ability.

yup. it's not speed. he didn't show it in that clip at least... but he might have it anyway.

Johnny Marr obviously. Everyone knows that.

Buckethead is pretty good, but i'm going to have to go with Hendrix FTW.

out of these, jimi hendrix all the way.. he is the one of these who can play guitar with feeling and then of course, he's damn skilled. guitar playing skill however is NOT, i repeat NOT playing the fastest you can. that buckethead guy had no skill whatsoever, he just plowed the guitar up and down a couple of times. anyone can learn a major scale and play it in 260 BPM, aint a problem.

That was just an instructional video linked it because it was the first one I found online. He is far more talented than any guitarist listed, just not as well known. Do some research before pretend to know what you’re talking about.

Why not?

It annoys people to the pit of their very soul.

I think Brian May is right up there.

Are you serious? If rhythm guitar is your taste.

well I was only commenting on the clip you posted. But still after seeing a few more clips on youtube i don't find him better then any other metal guitarist. and i sure as hell what I'm talking about. I am a guitarist.

i have to nominate tad kubler of the hold steady, not for technical malmsteen wankery, but because he writes some of the most incredibly gut-busting riffs. ever.

Chris DeGarmo

Andy Summers out of THE POLICE
MARCO PIRRONI out of ADAM AND THE ANTZ
