09.19.06 | Totally provocative. |
Syncratic
09.19.06 | Michael Angelo Batio once lost a guitar-playing contest to someone who challenged him, in which Batio shredded for 10 minutes straight with both hands. The other guy (whose name eludes me) played one note and won.
The moral?: Speed does not mean 'good.'
Batio is impressive, though. I just wanted an excuse to tell that story. |

09.19.06 | A refreshing list. No doubt I expected to see the usual slew of crappy guitarists, but aside from Yngwie, this list is interesting. |
Bfhurricane
09.19.06 | Very true Syncratic. Though I find that he has more than speed, he has true talent and has spent his whole life in total dedication to the instrument. That plays some part in me criticizing guitar players.
And Yngwie is either love or hate, i appreciate anyones opinion of him |

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-
09.20.06 | Django 4 lyfe nigga! I like the first two choices but I'd disagree with the rest. |
BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-
09.20.06 | I just realized I have a list that starts out EXACTLY like this. Great minds think a-like. ;-) |
YDload
09.20.06 | I thought a list with that title would turn out retarded, but you did it just right :-) |

09.20.06 | I thought about putting Jeff Beck on here, hes incredibly unique though his jazz sound is so different than Django's |
Dethtrasher
09.20.06 | Only heard of Malmsteen, but he is an awesome guitarist. |
Rocksta71
09.20.06 | Malmesteen is an a-hole, Hendrix owns everyone. |
stompybeardo
09.20.06 | hendrix is probably more innovative but i wouldnt say he owns everyone |
stinkypoptart
09.20.06 | he owns nearly everyone. |
Conky
09.20.06 | yea pritty much everyone |
stompybeardo
09.20.06 | hes my fav for sure, but hes still confined by his technique and theory knowledge, theres plenty of guitarists out there you could make a very good case for being at least as good, if not in a lot of ways better than him |
Thor
09.20.06 | Segovia owns. |
Bfhurricane
09.20.06 | Hendrix is in no way top 5 of all time. In talent at least |
stinkypoptart
09.20.06 | my dad showed me some guy who was probably the best i forget his name but in no way am i exagerating his amazing skills. I think its tommy emanuell. |
Bfhurricane
09.22.06 | Tommy Emmanuel is an Australian guitar god... very similar to Django and his "disciples" (gypsies in Europe that devote their entire life to the guitar, many of which are like unrecognized gems in this world). |
