SBriand 4 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 What about Django Reinhart? Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah. The Rolling Stones list was terribad. I like Jack White, but putting him in the top ten...? And EVH @ 70 way below Joan Jett?!?!?!?...but that Time list is just stoopid. No EVH and no SRV kills it.Just went and reviewed the Rolling Stone Top 100 List. I guess Jack White was in the top 20, not top 10. EVH @ 70 and Joan Jett @ 87 not ahead of EVH, but still a strange list. The RS top 10 was:JimiDuane AllmanBB KingEric ClaptonRobert JohnsonChuck BerrySRVRy CooderJimmy PageKeef RichardsAll in all not a horrible Top Ten if you consider "influence" on the art as part of the list of criteria. It is a little skewed towards prior to 1975 players, which they make up for with the 11-20 list.http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/593...ts_of_all_time/ Link to post Share on other sites

Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 What about Django Reinhart?Fair question. Django certainly influenced a ton of guitarists. But the Time list was "Electric Guitarists" and Django played an acoustic "Gypsy" guitar. There are a lot of "Jazz" players like George Benson and Wes Montgomery who could be considered.

Untilted 158 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 David Gilmour is my favorite to listen to all time. He is not the best, talent wise but his style makes him my favorite. To each his own.Tom Morello definetly belongs on any list. Not sure if someone mentioned he did not belong Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Prince, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Johnny Ramone have no business in the top 10. The rest I have no problem with.However where the hell are Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Tom Morello, and Eric Johnson? Link to post Share on other sites

He could very well be the best living guitar player. Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJon 175 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 A potential top 10 imo would have to be John Mayer.

Seriously. I literally wanted him to be my next favorite guitarist. And while that first solo you linked had some tasty parts, he just doesn't do it for me. Maybe if he could just figure out what he wants to be as a guitarist/performer long enough to really nail it. But he has been all over the map from pop to blues and a little R&B without really establishing something new and really groundbreaking in any of them. Link to post Share on other sites

I can appreciate what he did for music, but when I think of Kurt Cobain great guitar player doesn't come to mind. Link to post Share on other sites
Dice_3008 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Great guitarist. I don't know if it's the genre of music he performed or what but he is always way to low on these lists.As far as the main list is concerned not having SRV on the list is a travesty. Slash is really overated and Ramone shouldn't be in the top 50. I'm not real familiar with Malmsteem's music but Satriani would make a nice replacement. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 anybody have a link to that concert where he's sharing the stage with a dozen other well known musicians and when it's time for his little spotlight-solo he goes off for like 5 minutes? Jesus...I had no idea he was that sick on guitar. Carlos Santana?I can do a mean air guitar from his Abraxis and Filmore albums. More air bass, actually. Link to post Share on other sites
