TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 This whole subject is very subjective, I have my favourites but will happily listen to many who have mastered the instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 This is about the same as which is the best shot size or choke or anything. How can a flamenco guitarist be compared to jazz.or rock and it's all subject to the listener. There are so many variables and for every name on those posts theres probably hundreds or thousands who never get known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded - I've watched "The Last Dance" over and over since it was on Sky Arts a couple of months ago and really taken with him. Such an unassuming guy, on stage dressed like he had just nipped out to the supermarket, but hard to imagine anyone else meshing with Runrig's style the way he does.

merseamal Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Dead or alive? Jimi or Randy Rhodes are probably the greatest (rock) guitarist of all times. Zakk Wylde is the greatest (technical) guitarist i've ever seen Other greats, Tony Iommi, Steve Vai, Matt Bellamy Bass players either Cliff Burton or Robert Trujillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want fast - Ollie Halsall. Recorded output - Jimmy Page. Before Jimi died, he never made the top spot. It was always Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and then Jimi Hendrix. After his death, he suddenly became better. Not sure how that works. The Yardbirds had more than their fair share - Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. If you want fast watch Zak Wylde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what my financial status has to do with it 😂 Olly was a great guitarist, Zakk plays twice as fast behind his head and with his tongue, I was only commenting on speed.
