The best by far is Jimi. It's only my opinion, but I'm sure a lot of people agree with me. I wouldn't lead off a Best Rock Guitarists thread with Mark Knopfler and The Edge and post-Cream Clapton and people like that.


Start posting some jimi videos.

Iommi. Not only one of the best, but the guy made his own fingertips after they got chopped off on his last day of work. Greatest success story in rock.

For real? A whole thread on guitarists and no one mentioned Randy Rhodes? zakk wylde, but not Randy Rhodes? The solo in Mr. Crowley melts my face off every time. Clapton, Satriani, those guys rock, but thats old people music these days, Jimi has stood the test of time, and is still the man. Clapton has nothing on All Along The Watchtower, amazing song. Dave Mustain and Chris Broderick are also pretty badass. Best of all time though, without dispute, Dimebag Darrell.

i mentioned rhoads, jake e lee, and dimebag

:wave:

the guys in lamb of god are pretty kikkazz too

judas priest?

Like i said i think he was garbage and was never a contender in the guitar world. People just liked him because he was off his nut on drugs/drink/smack and just made shit up playing for hours with boring shit for other listeners that were fucked up and as i keep saying HE IS DEAD.
:)

:laughing:
sad part is, I totally disagree with you, I love Jimi..and did you know that ONE of your favs (clapton) has said that no-one can play like Jimi...I think Vaughn said it too...still that was a hilarious ass reaming/opinion you gave Mezz.:tiphat:

Why the Jimi hate? You don't have to like him. To discredit what Jimi contributed the music world is asinine.
Jimi took the guitar in a different direction. Somewhere the guitar had not been until then. Jimi was an innovator.
Is he the most technical guy, no. But neither are Clapton or the Edge. Whom you seem devoted to.
I'm willing to bet that a VERY small % of folks would rate the Edge, above Jimi, in pecking order. :2cents:

Check out the first two sentences of Jimi's wiki page.
In case you do not want to it says
"He is often considered the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music, by other musicians, and commentators of the industry."
