Guest norseman Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 cant believe nobodys mentioned rory gallagher apparently Hendrix was asked how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world, to which he replied you need to ask rory Gallagher that one. or words to that effect rory is amazing but I think Hendrix was being modest, not taking away from the g man of course. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 cant believe nobodys mentioned rory gallagher Thank f**k Just read this and was dumbstruck that nobody had mentioned him,, the guy was incredible. Even Hendrix reckoned he was the best But anyway. Brian May IF anyone wonders what he was all about before he went mad here it is ,, one of the best albums ever recorded. The man was a genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xok3CGNPSE0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey Finn 2,767 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Obviously the best is a hard thing to name. Jimmie Hendrix was great, but I'd like to mention few more I admire. (No particular order) Buddy Guy Eric Clapton Stevie Ray Joe Satriani Carlos Santana BB King Phil Keaggy ( You think Hell, and Detroit are tough, try Youngstown Ohio) Chuck Berry Doak Short (my friend) Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Alvin Lee Muddy waters There are plenty of other greats as well.

Bosun11 537 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Rake... As I said before Ste Vai, as gifted as he is, lives in a parallel universe where must think people tap their feet to his twangs and runs, the minute he flips out in the film Crossroads I knew he was a loon and don't start me on Yngwie, who's names as bad as his playing....

lifelong cumbrian 1,816 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I like all the guitarists mentioned, depends what type of music you like best. I like the likes of Wilko Johnson and Mick Green, just the type of music style I like best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
