Name another guitar player with this much technical ability who is extremely creative and innovative and barely ever wanks
protip: there are no others
fripp is good by rock standards (which are pretty low), but you need to get schooled on jazz guitar OP
>>60941124
Joe Satriani > Steve Hackett > Derek Bailey >>>>> Fripp-frapp
>barely ever wanks
>>60941185
Did he actually fuck young Eno? Did they wank together?
>>60941162
I don't know, Guthrie Govan? Or is this memes?
>>60941142
I love Wes, but I don't thing he was as innovative, Fripp created a style and sound that was never heard before
>>60941492
kind of the same thing as above
>>60941162

>>60941547
I'm retarded? :( why though? Doesn't Guthrie make some sweet tunes? And he plays fast a lot but doesn't sound like a wanker or that he's trying too hard. I'm not trying to argue or anything I'm just curious because Guthrie is such a cool dude
>>60941124
Take your pick
I'll give Fripp the upper hand on soundscapes(Frippertronics), but that's it.
>>60941650
I love Guthrie, and his music is sweet, but look at how King Crimson's early albums basically helped to define the sound of early prog, then in the 80's they came out with a sound that was somewhere between Talking Heads and Math Rock (a genre that was not even invented yet)
People have been trying to copy King Crimson for ever but KC is always one step ahead.
I just mean that Guthrie has not done anything on that level yet
>>60941124
Kerry King
>>60941124
Julian Lage
>>60941757
but he does not have le random effect pedals, he is not innovative lol
Keiji Haino
John Fahey
Adrian Belew
P4P best guitarist ever
If he won the hearts of perfectionist freaks like Zappa and Fripp, then he must be THAT good.
>>60941652
John Mclaughlin, yeah
>>60941866
true
>>60941124
>barely ever wanks
How would you know anything about his masturbatory habits?
>>60941124
Bill Frissell
>>60942265
wew lad we are now laffin at u
Steve Vai can get pretty wanky but he's legit good
>>60941124
theres probably lots...
elliot easton from the cars is really technically proficient but all his stuff is very melodic/song driven
>>60941142
>>60941652
these guys are definition of wank
wes is ok cuz he's straight up jazz and thats accepted/the norm i guess
friday night guys are super super masturbatory
>Steve howe
>Andy summer
>Steve hackett
>Alex lifeson
But yeah, fripp is a step above, also honorable mention to belew, what a guy
>>60943546
That's nice.
>>60943648
is it true that he actualy secretly recorded an album with Johnny fuckin Rotten?
Allan Holdsworth
The two GOAT guitarists right here
>>60943702
yeah he played on PiL albums
>>60941162
>Dorky prog guitarists better than Derek Bailey
>Joe Satriani better than anybody
>>60941124
Easy. Steve Howe is more technical, more innovative, all around more skilled and plays in the same genre.
Frank Zappa
who gives a fuck
>>60944688
Steve Howe might be my favorite guitarist but I don't know if I would call him innovative, esp. compared to Fripp
he writes really imaginative guitar parts, but they're mostly blends of jazz, country, and classical guitar cliches. Fripp created a lot of sounds that are completely his own, a couple of which involved inventing a new technology.
>>60944828
I don't think innovation is valid if it's shit, though. Howe's work is solid and soulful, whereas Fripp always struck me as more scientist than guitarist. There's something cold and withdrawn about his playing that I find genuinely off-putting with a few exceptions.
>>60945022
well, KC isn't for everyone. Fripp can be "soulful" when he wants, though

>>60941866
I love Belew. Really underrated guitarist. original sound, some solid solo work, but definitely worked best with Fripp when he was writing two guitar parts.
Also was awesome in Talking Heads.

Wata from Boris?
>>60941547
Wes montgomery's tone was standard for jazz, but his technique was pretty much unseen asfaik (use of octaves/block chords, more movement up and down the neck, picking with his thumb)
>>60941124
John Schofield
Pat Metheny
early John Mclaughlin
>>60947022
Love her, but no, not even close. Nice dubs though.
>>60941124
Pat metheny, frank zappa, Mark lettieri, jeff beck, if we count flamenco guitar, most of them like paco de lucia or leo aurora are skilled and innovative
>>60941757
this this this this this
but also most jazz guitarists, but julian is easily my favorite
>>60941124
>>60941124
>Fripp
>innovative
I love Fripp but he's been stuck doing the same shit since 1969
>>60947368
>Innovation didn't exist in 1969
>>60947368
ur mom is stuck doing the same shit since 1969, and that is selling herself

Technical Skill: Tosin Abasi
Creativity: Jack White is still doing new shit.

M8, Jack White's music has always been derivative. It's about as far from original or new as you can get. Not hating on him though. Just saying. Sure he comes up with some cool riffs and tones and shit but for the most part, what he does has already been done. A lot.

Can we agree that "the league of Crafty guitarists" sounds like the faggiest thing ever
Of the two I'm partial to Tom Verlaine but I like Richard Lloyd's solo albums better.
>>60947651
if you mean the name then sure, but the music is great
>>60947674
they complimented each other really well. lloyd's solos were definitely more rock-blues based and verlaine's were more jazz oriented
>>60947723
Of course the name
>>60941124
what do you mean by "wank" exactly?
>>60941142
I take it you haven't listened to The Cheerful Insanity of Giles Giles and Fripp? Fripp's roots are in jazz guitar
Fripp's the man. seriously. i saw him live this year and he has a beautiful technique, playing the craziest riffs while his strumming hand draws fluid figure 8's
>>60947674
lloyd is so fucking cute

runs laps around fripp and I love robert. Frith has taken the guitars vocabulary further than anyone else. Would love to be proved wrong
>>60941124
The guitar work on Scary Monsters was pretty wanky.
Fashion kicked ass, but title track was noodling.
>>60947064
Anon doesn't realize the importance of Wes because so many of Wes's innovations are taken for granted now. He is by far the bigger innovator.
>>60948342
Most patrician answer yet.
>>60948542
It really blows my mind how far Fred has pushed the guitars boundaries especially his solo or duos with close friends like Zorn
I just start laughing sometimes as I listen because it's so good

John Wetton was the best KC singer by far
>>60949598
As much as I like him, I'm not sure if I would go that far. He's definitely in contention for that title though.
>>60949676
it's not even a real contest. Belew's good on TOAPP but all the other KC albums have bad vocals
