Thanks for at least bringing up Satch and Vai elmanito...I was about to put a link up for the Crossroads duel until I saw you already said something.

I can't believe it!!! Yet another die-hard Yngwie fan! He's ridiculous! I can't argue that he isn't gifted, but he is THE MOST ridiculous...not saying that I don't dig ridiculous every once in a while ( :thinking: Buckethead?), but I just can't handle him.

What about Robben Ford?! Anyone give a listen to him? One of the most under-rated guitarists ever in my opinion.

wow. I can't argue with you there...:whistling:.

Robben Ford certainly is not a legend, although I would consider him great. I guess I'll bow out of this forum if it's for "legends" and "greats", most of whom are overplayed and over-rated IMHO. I'll stick to the rap one, lol :tiphat:

Have you no greats to beat the legends and greatest players ever.
Come on the rap thread as i am on it now.
These greats are never overplayed and no where near over rated as they are simply the best in the world.
