>No Segovia
>No Paco de Lucia

Why is he such a tryhard
goddamn

>literally no jazz guitar giants like Montgomery or Burrell

>>64053970
embarrassing list really

>caspar Brotzmann

lol

>>64053970
Don't get me wrong I love the work of Jimi Hendrix, but seeing him on the top every greatest guitarist list ever kind of annoys and disappoints me. Was hoping Scaruffi would do something but whatever I think the list is alright

>>64053970
They are all irrelevant except for Hendrix, is it really that necessary to pretend being an outsider visionary with elite taste that no one else can understand? Really nigga? Stop pretending those shit guys are something and accept you're not gonna be a special human being just by making such a bait list.

Also
>keiji haino
My farts sound better than the music he does.

Objectively terrible list.

I love Ribot and all, but that just doesn't seem to be a very good list no matter how you look at it

best guitarist at what exactly?

this is probably his worst list. Blixa Bargeld's in it. he barely played in EN, and the other guy isn't too great either (scruffles had previously mistaken Brian Jones for Nicky Hopkins). also, anyone who's familiar with Ribot and doesn't place him first is full of shit.

>Famous but quite irrelevant:
>Brian May (Queen)
>Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow)
>George Harrison (Beatles)

Scaruffi really fucking hates The Beatles

>>64054827
he's right tho

>>64054097
Daily reminder that Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all time and if you don't believe that you are either trying way too hard or know nothing about music theory

post Marc Ribot things

>it's a Fripp isn't 1 list

>>64054998
such a swag looking motherfucker

>>64054827
yeah the Rolling Stone list puts George at #11

>>64054659
you know Blixa played guitar with the Bad Seeds for 15 years right? that's probably his best known work

pfft basho was miles better than fahey

>>64055099
Scruffy specifies Einsturzende Neubaten on the list, though

>>64055099
Scruffles credits him for EN. No one deserves a spot on greatest guitarists list for playing with Nick Cave.

>>64053970
never trust retired Italian plumbers

>>64055242
>>64055312
ah right fair enough, didn't realise he was specifying his work for EN sorry

and the Bad Seeds had some great guitar work what are you on about

>>64055422
>and the Bad Seeds had some great guitar work what are you on about
There's some interesting stuff on the first two albums but I wouldn't go so far as to call it great.

>>64054982
Real Gone was a disappointment, though.

off-topic, but I think it's cool how many interesting jazz musicians Waits has worked with - in addition to Ribot people like Shelly Manne, Victor Feldman, Masada bassist Greg Cohen, Bobby Previte and Colin Stetson have all appeared on Waits albums

lol rock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_classical_guitarists

in NO particular order:

Charlie Christian
Duane Allman
Steve Vai
Django Reinhardt
Michael Hedges
Jeff Hendrix Jimi Beck
Derek Trucks
Herb Ellis/Joe Pass
Al Di and/or Paco
Segovia
Doc Watson

>>64054074
I think he tends to try and keep rock and jazz separate though allowing for jazz influence in his rock lists

>>64054827
>Brian May
>irrelevant

opinion disregarded

>>64055086
Well, that's just the opposite end of the retard stick.

>>64055562
Carney's from that Zorn/Chadbourne camp too.

>>64053970
Its rock guitarists you idiot how dare you misrepresent scar p faggot

>>64055660
oh yeah, him too

>>64054004
>>64054074
>(I did not include classical, jazz or folk guitarists)

I like that doug Martsch is on there.

nice to see Gary Lucas on the list, even though saying he's in the top 50 is a bit of a stretch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wvwhWcEj-4

>>64056097
Jeff Cotton is miles ahead

Marc Ribot's playing is a like an audio manifestation of a tipped fedora.

>>64054919
>Daily reminder that Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all time and if you don't believe that you are either trying way too hard or know nothing about music theory

Right, because you need to know a lot about theory to see when someone plays the same old chord progressions and minor pentatonic scales. Listen, I enjoy a lot of the music Hendrix put out, but he is definitely NOT the greatest guitarist, not even the greatest showman, because musically that's all he was, a showman.

well, Antennae Jimmy Semens certainly had to suffer for his art, but Lucas has some much greater merits outside of playing with Beefheart, such as playing on Jeff Buckley's Grace and co-writing some songs such as this

>>64056461
>co-writing
irrelevant
>greater merits
u implying that playing with Jeff Buckley is a greater artistic merit than playing with Beefheart? wew lad. r8 your b8 8 outta 8.

ranking musicians as in best to worst is indication of low intelligence

>>64055606
you're right, a lot of guitarists have a terrible sound, can't play live and write very ordinary stuff

>>64056583
eh, it's a well regarded classic album

in case you didn't get it Lucas and Cotton were both guitarists in the Magic Band at different times, Cotton on Strictly Personal, TMR and Mirror Man, Lucas on Doc at the Radar Station and Ice Cream for Crow

outside of that Cotton hasn't really done anything noteworthy, while Lucas has

>>64056736
>in case you didn't get it Lucas and Cotton were both guitarists in the Magic Band
yeah. i know. samefag here.

>eh, it's a well regarded classic album
maybe if you're a mtv/vh1 drone

my point was that jeff is overall the better guitarist
