10.21.12 | I saw a video of Petrucci giving Heafy a guitar lesson and he couldn't keep up lol |
menawati
10.21.12 | if you add up all of technical ability, feel and influence its gotta be hendrix tho |
Trebor.
10.21.12 | And it's always people pretending they like guys like Hendrix the best instead of just putting their actual favorite for fear of backlash |
someguest
10.21.12 | neil young
lol |
menawati
10.21.12 | i dont like hendrix the best to listen to but the amount of influence he had sorta elevates him doesnt it ? |
Trebor.
10.21.12 | If you're ok with lying to yourself yeah |

10.21.12 | My final answer is Johnny Marr cuz I love his riffs and style and because he influenced a shit load of the music I listen to |
YoYoMancuso
10.21.12 | well, he asked 'best', not 'favorite'
my favorite is either Jeff Buckley or Adrian Smith but they're nothing compared to what Hendrix accomplished |
menawati
10.21.12 | marr is a great choice too |
Chortles
10.21.12 | yeah marr is the real star of the smiths amirite
okay well morrissey ruled too but whatever |
Trebor.
10.21.12 | Best means favorite if you ask me because it's subjective and he didn't specify things like technicality
If it was who is the most technical guitarist than yeah that would be an objective question |
menawati
10.21.12 | by best i thought he was asking people to be a bit objective about it if they could and when u are tryin to be objective i spose how influential and original they were is a big factor |

10.21.12 | Travis Montgomery (Threat Signal) |
CrownOfMagnets

CrownOfMagnets
10.21.12 | in my opinion the best guitar players are the ones that don't have to play 5000 miles an hour. sometimes it all about holding out notes and feel.

tommygun
10.21.12 | Fuck technicality I just go by what sounds good to my ears so my interchangeable top 5 is Frusciante, Hendrix, Page, Gilmour and Marr. I don't think you can say anybody is 'the greatest' it's all subjective. |
SCREAMorphine
10.21.12 | David Gilmour |
menawati
10.21.12 | if its purely subjective then gilmour then |

YankeeDudel
10.21.12 | Hendrix is the obvious answer if we're talking influence and innovation and all that. Hes the Beatles of guitar playing. Essentially guitar playing is looked at as Pre and Post Hendrix. I can only imagine what it was like to hear him for the first time when he first began. |
