Favorite guitarists

Wow, I'm quoting from far back in the thread, but John Petrucci is amazing, john myung kicks ass, and I love dream theater. I loooooove Train of Thought, and I think it's one of their finest works, regardless of what anyone says.

Fav Guitarists: Paul Gilbert, Mr. Vai, Petrucci, Michael Romeo, Any so many others, it'd be pointless to list them.

 

Jerry Garcia
Steve Sweeney
George McConnell
Jorma Kaukanen
John Scofield
John Mclaughlin
Jimmy Page
Steve Kimock
Ivan 'boogaloo joe' Jones
Grant Green
Hendrix
Santana
Melvin Sparks

 

Jimi Hendrix - goes without saying, really

John Frusciante
Mr Graham ( I.T teacher at my school. He is amazing!!!! and he knows Bruce Dickinson from iron Maiden!!!- aparently)
Eric Clapton
Mike Einziger
Santana
Kirk Hammet - his solos are phenomenal!
Lenny Kravitz
Slash
Matt Bellamy...just to name a few coz i cant think today!!

 

Jimi Hendrix is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also like the smooth Jazz Guitar Players like Wes Montgomery,early George Benson and Bireli Lagrene.

 

and I forgot
Slash who's definetely the most stylish guitar player and cool as shit at the same time.Just stonedrunk onstage with a cigarette in the mouth Afro in front of the eyes playing razorblade soli.
Guns n'Roses rock(ed)!!!
Velvet Revolver rock !!!
Axl Rose sucks!!!

 

damn! Once again the words were taken right out of my mouth. I shall just agree... oh except for the dudes that were mind-blowing cause I don't know who they are! But I'm sure they were good.

Now if I had to choose, which guitarist would I be a groupie for... that's easy either Richards, Townshend, or Page, whoever would have me first. okay, I admit, I'd be a groupie for almost any guitarist... oh well.

Great list, anyways. Almost identical to mine (almost)

~peace~

 

I'm a guitarist, would you be a groupie for me? :H Haha, just joking with ya.

 

Off the top of my head...

Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
Robert Fripp
Tony Iommi
Jerry Garcia
Pete Townshend
Keith Richards
David Gilmour
Steve Howe
Adam Jones
Bobby Krieger

 

hahaha... well you never know, if I saw you play in the next two months, it's possible. I'm not very picky, even a poor guy in the subway station works, as long the music is fairly good. But of course, after the next couple months, I shall have my own guitar. Then I guess I get to be my own groupie. oOoOh... that'll be a little weird.

anyways, this is half the reason rockers become rockers... to get laid! well, works for me, I guess, as long as they play good music.

anyways... have a nice day!

 

-Pete Townshend

-Jeff Beck
-Lou Reed
-Syd Barrett
-Jimmy Page
-Jimi Hendrix
-Eric Clapton
-George Harrison
-Keith Richards
-Joe Walsh
-Robby Krieger

Hehe, I actually go to school with a guy named Keith Richards!

 

do you really go to school with a kid named Keith Richards... or are you just getting my hopes up?

-nice list by the way

 

No, I seriously do go to school with a kid named Keith Richards! Spelled the same way and everything!

 

hahaha... taht's awesome! although it would be kinda hard if he ever wanted to be a guitar player. He'd have to change his name... the "Keith Richards" slot is already taken!

 

Yeah, but he could always change his name to Pete Towns... oh wait. That's taken too! How about Keith Jagger then? Or maybe Mick Richards? Reith Kichards would be cool too.

Ok I don't even know what I'm talking about now.

 

Jimi Hendrix
Carlos Santana
Eric Clapton
Kurt Cobain
Elvis

 

Reith Kichards is a badass name! Let's suggest Pete Daltrey Jaggar Plant. He could almost be his own band... wait... no he couldn't... three singers and one guitarist will not work!

oh, you must be rubbing off on me, I don't know what I'm talking about either!

 

Oooh, I just thought of a good one I should have thought of before!

Jick Magger!

I'm seriously going to start using that as an insult. Example:

"Shut the fuck up you stupid Jick Magger!"

Yes... so good, yet amazingly lame.

Um, and yeah, this has absolutely nothing to do with guitarists, so time to get on topic!

I was listening to The Velvet Underground's White Light / White Heat last night and Lou Reeds guitar work on "I Heard Her Call My Name" and "Sister Ray" never fails to amaze me. I think he is somewhat underappreciated for his guitar work. It seems to be often times overlooked.

 

Jick Magger... hahaha.. that's hysterical.

oh, and yes, so sorry let's get back to the guitarists. woops...

 

Haha...it's awesome that someone else recognized Dream Theater in this thread. There's no denying John Petrucci's talent. He's fucking amazing...I can't say enough. And Myung is amazing as well. I love DT. Train of Thought isn't my favorite album of theirs, but they set out to accomplish something and succeeded, although I think there should've been some changes made. There's no denying the musical mastery though, in any of their work. They're fucking spectacular. Glad to see another Dream Theater fan on the boards!
