Top 10 guitarists of all time

[Dyna Ryda]

Kirk is a big fan of mine (weed), seriously. I've been working at his house for the past 2 months off and on. He loves smoking weed (mine) and surfing. One day we were working in his back yard, jamming some reggae and he comes out with an acoustic and starts jamming. I'm like, hey fucker we're listening to reggae over here, knock it off. Kidding, I turned my radio off and listened to him.

 

[Singlemalt]

Jerry Garcia
Chet Atkins
Mark Knopfler

 

[Glaucoma]

Impossible!

What makes a great guitarist? Technical proficiency? Soul? Stage presence?

There are larger than life examples for each one. And for every one of them, there are probably 10 more that you'll never hear of.

 

[stinkyjoe]

they can all play as good as each other, its the way they put their notes together which makes them shine imhhhhho

 

[charface]

eddie
breu
randy
krantz
and a million others most of us aren't into because its not our flavor.

 

[charface]

to me a great player is one who knows exactly what the tune calls for and the discipline to resist adding a single note due to insecurity.
must also have the chops to pull it off

Good definition. Although I was never a dead fan, Bob Weir comes to mind first when looking at it from that angle. As a guitar-capable person, I can appreciate a wide range of artists.

im guilty of not liking the dead. lol

I'll go ahead and go on record saying that Hendrix should be in the top 10. It's a shame he didn't have longer. He had just gotten good at producing and his potential when he died was unlimited.

 

[CC Dobbs]

Zappa

 

[Aeroknow]

This guy:

Hammett IS my favorite though

 

[charface]

Zappa
