For a long time i considered Hendrix the best guitarist.

Then when i took fake acid i saw Jimmy Page doing dazed in confused live from the Zeppelin movie and it blew my god damn mind.

Maybe Jimmy Page isn't as technically good as say Hendrix or Clapton but i think he has a better feel for what sounds good.

You're the autistic for disliking someone because they're old or popular or obviously good you fucking dipshit.

I love a lot of people mentioned in this thread, but you cant say someone like jack white is anywhere near as good as jimmy hendrix. Good guitarists ARE rare these days, i like dreamy synth pop as much as the next guy but it doesnt enshrine the guitarist in the same way a classic blues act does.

This is coming from someone who doesnt care for hendrix or like blues, but i can't deny how how they make guitars sing, Fucking douchebag.

>>
>>554331387
I have professional concert guitarist and violinists very close to me. They both agree that speed is only to impress. Speed means muscle memory, meaning lots of practice on one thing.

Imo versatility and technicality over speed any day.
>>
>>554331539
Actually not, if you can play very fast you can be skilled, but if you can't create a piece that has a special sound to it, you are not very good as an artist. That's why almost no legends of the guitar did very fast music, they may not be fast, but they were creative.
>>
>>554331534
I agree, but the other guy didnt say that wasn't the case! Playing fast and clean does show a reasonably good level of technical ability and makes you a good guitarist. BUT being a good guitarist does not mean you're a good musician. You can be the worlds fastest player and have reached the absolute pinnacle of technical playing, but if your music sounds like shit, who cares?

What is it with you and dads? I like hendrix and Page because i'm deeply impressed when i see them play.

Why dont you have the courage to like what you like instead of avoiding popular names because you think you'll look uninformed? Are you deeply insecure anon? Are you projecting your insecurities on me because i like Hendrix and Page and you want to look special and informed because in reality your personality is pretty boring? Are you ok?
>>
>>554331821
Somewhat. But the songwriting and melody should overwhelm it. Let's compare two great Progressive bands Tool and Dream Theater

Dream Theater has amazing technical ability for each individual instrument. Each player (from Petrucci to Portnoy) each showcase their own ability to play fast, technically, and very random (scale wise, out of the ordinary notes and drum patterns etc.)

Tool has an amazing technical ability as a whole. Contributed with polyrhythms and rhythmic technicality as a whole. Adam Jones himself has a simplistic guitar style, nowhere near on par to Petrucci. The bass also follows suit to the simplistic style of Jones, but Danny Carey compensates for extremely complex drums. Overall there is a complex songwriting theme, but not an individual complex style.

Which band would you take to listen to for hours on end? Personally, I would pick Tool for the overall songwriting ability of the band. DT are astounding technical players and musicians, but they try to incorporate too much of their technicality into their songs.

Robert plant is a rip off of janice joplin.

Painful to say, because i love the guy, but Joplin is on another level and it's pretty clear she was a big influence. Listen to her live.

You guys are all looking in the wrong place. Every single one of you. If we really want to talk about the BEST guitarist ever, then we need to talk about Andres Segovia. He is, for all intents and purposes, the greatest guitarist to have ever lived.

Any of you guys got any advice for a beginner?

Well I say beginner I've been playing 5 months I know 18 songs already and I practice 4 hours a day. Am I doing it right? I have a list of songs I have to get done by the end of summer and the last song on the list is Holy Wars by Megadeth, do you guys think I can pull it off? I'll be attempting it 9 weeks from now, I practice down picking all the time. So for example if I'm watching a youtube video or anime or something I'll be practicing at a steady tempo. Also have any of you tried out Rocksmith I've taken up the 60 day challenge on that too and I'm getting regular lessons from a guitar teacher.

>>554332871
Overrated as fuck. Wont even play death metal anymore. Mediocre lead guitar. Can't sing death metal vocals anymore because he does it wrong and destroys his voice. Used to be a huge Opeth fan until almost the entire steady lineup left and Mikael decided to go full retard with boring ass prog (coming from a fan of prog rock/metal)

/b/ makes me sad because there is no Yngwie in the 'best guitarist' thread. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? I see some really talented, even god-tier guitarists here, so why is there no Yngwie? Have you forgotten the face of your father?

Try none. You might get jazz cats coming out with metal albums, but not the other way around. I could play circles around John petrucci. He's a talentless hag. Dream theatre sucks balls. Get over it. Nothing anyone of them do is original or tasty or creative.
When all you listen to is classical geniuses and jazz virtuosos, metal becomes a joke. Metal was always a joke.

It's fucking HENDRIX. flat out. If you're going to pick a dude that actually used his talent to the fullest, it's that nigger. We can all say Gilmour, Frusciante, Page.. whatever.. but Jimi CHANGED the whole thing and god damn if you listen to those isolated guitar tracks. it's just the sexiest, funkiest shit ever.

if i had to pick a no.2 it'd probably be just a mash between Page, Gilmour, Clapton etc.. maybe even frusciante solely because of under the bridge and how fun that shit is to play.
