Topic: WHO IS CONSIDERED TODAY AS THE BEST GUITARIST?
I know, a lot of discussions are going about the best band, BEATLES or STONES
or about JIMI HENDRIX, & SRV.
But I wanted to have some information about who is considered "TODAY" as the best guitar player.
I did see DVD's with the G3, SATRIANI, VAI and people like MALMSTEEN, JOHNSON and others, like STEVE LUKATHER.
Derek Trucks and Adrian Legg, but I don't know 1 single thing about these guys, except that Trucks seems to be the youngest "voted" guitar player.
Of course, we are subjective, but try to be OBJECTIVE. There are great guitarists you don't like because you don't like the music.
MY LIST (??)
- Billy Gibbons, ZZ-TOP. The group has only 3 members, (the funny thing is the name of the drummer, named BEARD, the only member without a beard) Why do I like GIBBONS, because he plays the guitar alone, but when you see them live, you have the impression that there are hidden behind the curtain, 2 more players. ( Maybe it is like that?)
- John Fogerty: not a brilliant guitar player, but full of passion, and also ALONE, on LIVE CCR albums, see also NEIL YOUNG, same category.
We have the "turbo players" like Johnson, Malmsteen. Also Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, but I stick more on players like KEITH RICHARDS. What I saw in 2003 in New Orleans, in a club, beats everything, a real genious. Other item: HOW DO THEY FIND GREAT PLAYERS: Scout, luck?
I saw a "similar topic" by jamiey1, difference: My QUESTION IS NOW in 2007
