Pitiful, just pitiful.

You son's a bitches wouldn't know a guitarist if they hit you on the ear. Catch some blues on South Third (NOT BEALE!!!!!!!) in Memphis. The unnamed there will kick the shit out of anything you got.

THANK YOU! Jeff!

[Stoner]

Some of the best are...

- Eddie Van Halen
- Stevie Ray Vaughn
- Jimi Hendrix
- Eric Johnson
- Eric Clapton
- David Gilmoure
- Jimmy Page
- Yngwie Malmsteen
- Joe Satriani
- Steve Vai
- Dimebag Darrell
- Mark Knopfler
- Kirk Hammet
- Carlos Santana
- Randy Rhodes
- B.B. King
- Toni Iommi
- Jeff Beck
- Ritchie Blackmore
- John Petrucci

I was going to sneak Alex Lifeson in there because Rush is the greatest band in the universe and all but I'm not going to be a homer and keep only the absolute greatest in this list.

THANK YOU! Jeff!

I'm on record as saying that I appreciate Jack White as a musician, but there's no way I'm putting him in the same league as Eddie Van Halen. Heck, until this post, I wouldn't have even put their names in the same sentence! :)

Don't watch. Just listen.

Most musicians would never be able to handle doing all the things he does by himself.

[gabosaurus]

Talk of amazing guitarists starts and ends with Hendrix. There is no one remotely in the same league with him.

Jack White? Get out of town...

You limit yourself to one genre. Les Paul, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark and/or Chet Atkins could easily play with any of the above. IMO, Roy Clark is probably better than 2/3's of your list and as good as any.

You're right, Roy Clark is a damn good picker and guitarist. Another one who is a surprisingly good picker is Vince Gill.

I noticed Buddy Guy isn't on the list, either is Junior Brown, or Jack White for Christ's sake!. I must snub the "Stoner" now, for being such a stoner with his list of top 40 crapola. :talk2hand:

Didn't see this before I post above.

Not hands down, but pretty close. I saw them a few weeks ago, one of the best shows I've seen in awhile and I've seen just about everyone from John Lee Hooker to Junior Wells to Johnny Lang.


Eddy Van Halen ain't all that, Jeff. :laugh:

I've never seen them live.
I want to soooo badly. They just never come to my city or even semi-close to my city.

See them if you can. It's worth whatever you have to do to get there. :laugh2:

Here's some crappy footage from Ottawa. I was to the left, you can't see me though. :laugh2:

Your thing says you're from New York. I would think you would have plenty of concert opportunities? I'd probably drive to Charlotte (about 4 hours) to see the White Stripes.
