[QUOTE=rock not roll]*Jimi Hendrix is a very underrated singer.

edit: yes. ****it. Review Tommy. Somebody has to.[/QUOTE]

I might be able to do Tommy eventually. I mean, I'm no Badmoon, but I could still do it.

Well obviously Jimi's overrated when it comes to technical skill. But you try writing and inivating as well as he did ;)

+his live stuff was much harder to play than his recorded.

Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill

[QUOTE=Johnny B. Good]Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill[/QUOTE]

That would be leaving the realm of classic rock, but the first thing that comes to mind as far as classic rock goes is George Harrison.

George Harrison, best technical player? I'm not challenging that. Just not believing it.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]George Harrison, best technical player? I'm not challenging that. Just not believing it.[/QUOTE]

Different definitons of technical maybe?

I'd have to say Mr. Clapton is the best technical player. him or as Milk stated Mr. Harrisson

I was talking about difficulty of the guitar parts that a person can play.

I'll always bring up Jerry Garcia, being I originally got into the Grateful Dead because of his guitar work on some Garcia & Grisman stuff. This style is tough to nail down; not always the same.

Take "Terrapin Station" for example. That solos featured on that song are outstanding. But he is his best with David Grisman during his later years. His playing is fantastic on albums like [I]Shady Grove[/I].

Brian May is also extremely talented.

EDIT: And of course Steve Howe.

Wait, I have one...David Gilmour maybe?

His emotion is much higher than his technical ability.

Did anyone listen to the **** song?

We're talking technical skill. Gilmour's a brilliant songwriter but not much when it comes to technical ability.

Alex Lifeson's up there.

edit: No^. I will right now though.

I was thinking that and their ability to change chords well, make their playing look simple, etc.

Well obviously it looks simple if it is simple.

I don't know, that solo on Comfortably Numb is pretty fukin awesome

[QUOTE=Johnny B. Good]Who do you guys think does have the best technical guitar skill[/QUOTE]

Definitely not a classic rock player. Probably Andres Segovia. But, in the realm of non-classical music, either a metal shredder, or someone like Joe Pass. Joe Pass > all metal shredders though.

[QUOTE=Johnny B. Good]I don't know, that solo on Comfortably Numb is pretty fukin awesome[/QUOTE]

It's really not all that hard to play. It's an awesome solo but only becasue it sounds good. I'm not going to say it again that we're talking about difficulty.

edit: badmoon. That song was awesome :). I enjoy your featured songs.

[QUOTE=purplefeet]Classic Rock, Buddy Holly :) So Good.[/QUOTE]
I stole my parents Buddy Holly cd.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Well obviously it looks simple if it is simple.[/QUOTE]
For example the other night I was watching Eric Clapton play some very difficult pieces and he still made them look very easy to play

Modern Jam Guitarist = Jimmy Herring

Some may say Warren Haynes, but Jimmy Herring is a machine. I'm surprised many shred fans don't know of him. He tapps and shreds all over the place.

Is Jimmy Herring the guy from Jazz is Dead?

[QUOTE=Johnny B. Good]For example the other night I was watching Eric Clapton play some very difficult pieces and he still made them look very easy to play[/QUOTE]

Well maybe they were easy to play. That would go under the catigory of smoothness. You're mistaking smooth for technical.

*eric clapton does have some very hard songs to play though. Just not a whole lot of them. He's called slowhand for a reason.

We're forgeting Stephen Stills. Stills is a machine.

Indeed.

Warren Haynes too. I don't know if he's considered classic or not though.

Yes, STills is a machine
