Who is ROCK'N'ROLL'S GREATEST GUITARIST?:

How could I forget Neil Young?!?! And I always loved Slash - too bad he got stuck with that Axel Rose piece of shit. Of course, there's Velvet Revolver.

But Clapton? Yeah, back in the day - now he's a little too mellow for me. I lost interest when he started "walking Sally through the alley".

 

hendrix its sure

 

I agree on Jimmy Hedrix!
Ceep rockin...

 

My faves...
1. Jimmy Page
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Angus Young

 

i would SOOO love to say Page...and I will.....lol. but so is hendrix...and hendrix deserves a bit more attention...so..yes HENDRIX AND PAGE ALL THE WAY!! WOOHOO

 

Going through the thread Page & Hendrix are continuouly being mentioned.

Clapton can't be far behind.
I would say serious money would go on those three.
If Hendrix was still here I'd say we put all three in a Boxing ring & let them all bash it out of each other to find the outright winner!!.

 

Hendrix. A shame he died so young, if you think about all he could have done if he had lived longer... ah well, that's the way things go sometimes. For now, it only adds to his legend-status.

 

Well, the answer is simple, Joe Walsh. Followed closely by Duane Eddy. Anyone you wish really, just as long as it aint the overrated hack Hendrix. That noisy attempt at guitar playing makes my ears bleed.

 

Hendrix, Page, Gilmour... in that order

 

gots to give props to chuck berry too... and what about alvin lee?

 

Good point, I can't believe no mentioned Alvin Lee yet! Django Reinhardt also. Imagine him playing in the days of feedback and wah-wah. When you consider his hand injury, he is the best guitar player, survival of the fittest and all that jazz.

Edit- Forget Django, I just noticed the title

 

wow, i dont think zappa has been mentioned yet... i mean, he was only a virtuoso... and that reminds me of prince. hows bout dickey betts, james gurley, john cippolina, buddy guy, jeff beck... there are other guitarist besides jimmy page and jimi hendrix...

 

Love Zappa.

But Jeff Beck treated me to the next to worse concert I ever saw when he was touring with Yan Haummer (sp).

And Dickie Betts?, what about the great Duane Allman?

 

Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and (he may not be your cup of tea but his guitar playing has always left me in awe) Dimebag Darrell (RIP)

 

i kept my list short for the sake of brevity...

 

He was number two on my list!

 

where s my post

 

some of my faves


Gerry Garcia
Todd Rundgren
Zappa
Lou Reed
Ritchie Blackmore
Jimmy Page
Santana
George Harrison
Hendrix
Clapton
Randy Calfornia
Jeff Beck

 

Peter Green has always been my favorite.

And also Jimi Hendrix (of course), Santana, Eddie Cochran..

 

Well, I already said David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix, but I also wanna put Richie Sambora down as one of the best and most underrated.
