Being influenced by someone and ripping them off are two different things. Learn to use critical thinking, dipshit.
>>
>>690627098
"Better" is a weird thing to say.

Dimebag, Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Nuno Bettencourt, Eric Clapton, Van Halen .. I could go on. They were all "better" if you're looking at technical skill.

However, not a single one of those could play a song and sing it with the feel that SRV could. I'd definitely argue that his improvisational abilities were top tier. He definitely was a badass.

seriously- even Mayer said he coudnt carry a tune next to Derek...

It's sounds like every blues solo you ever heard

Susan Tedeschi is probably top 5 female guitarist of all time, which makes sense considering who she's married to.
>>
>>690637991

Chris Squire from "Yes"
>>
>>690627098
This is the guy from Dirty Projectors, no?
>>
>>690638222

now your just trolling. You cant objectively believe that? Tell us- what other "blues" solo sounds just like this?

he's good at what he does, he has a pop flow that makes him seem somewhat refreshing and young

I agree. Prince was on such a whole other level that he was rarely seen as a "guitar hero." His production and writing talent surpassed his his guitar and singing that people rarely looked at him as a guitarist. Prince is up there with Frank Zappa imo.

who is the best guitarist on this stage?

How have none of y'all posted this man yet?

>literally plays every genre of music to perfection
>usually all in the same song

However, in terms of the blues SRV is better, but in terms of pure mastery of the guitar, brian may played the way the guitar was meant to be played

>>690631915
Thats like saying billie joe armstrong is a great guitarist
>>
>>690639005
I almost said him earlier but couldn't decide. You're right though.
>>
>>690632952
You can always tell when somebody's just picked up the guitar because they still think tom morello is a great guitar player
>>
>>690638877
yes, hes good at what he does...making pop songs girls like...but that has nothing to do with being a good guitar player.

Theres no accounting for taste but perhaps you need to branch away from teeny bopper music to stretch you understanding of true musicianship

3:40-5:30 is pretty damn groovy man

you can't pass john mayer off too easily, especially when you talk about blues. He performed with B.B. King himself.

Since SRV is dead everyone on the planet is better.

David Gilmour

>>690636427
His music is good but i wouldnt consider him a great guitarist

I've been playing guitar longer than you and am much better than you, and I still think Tom Morello is great.

I've seen these guys, Brian May, Prince, etc

Johnny Winter was better than all of them

If you guys want to discuss guitarists. Try doing it like this

Top 5 blues guitarists
1. SRV
2. Jimi
3. BB king
4. Clapton
5. Jimmy page

Rock guitarists
1. Brian may
2. Jimi
3. Knopfler
4. Clapton
5. EVH

All around
1. Brian may
2. Jimi
3. Jimmy page
4. Carlos Santana
5. Clapton

SRV was a master of the blues. No one could play it as well as he could. His ability to make you feel his music is bar none

But in terms of pure musicianship I really have to show the love to Brian may, jimi, and jimmy page.

Sure I can he sucks...look at them side by side playing with BB- Mayer knows when hes been beat:

>His ability to make you feel his music is bar none

I agree..I saw SRV several times and almost no other show moved me as much...(helped that is was small venue and I was leaning on the stage). His emotion literally poured thru his fingers..
>>
they were all great....but the best guitarist to see live?

Angus Young

>>690640351
Top kek!

Alvin Lee
Frank Morino
Ronnie Montrose

Perhaps you need to see something he's done other than his major releases. Yes "your body is a wonderland" is lame as fuck, but that isn't representative of all he can do. Again, crossroads festival.
>>
>>690640348

Randy Rhoads might have something to say about that
>>
>>690639737
He's not SRV level but he's pretty goddamn good

Look him up if you don't know him. At least the best Japanese guitarist.
