My lame point is there is no best guitarist. He may be undiscovered in some bar or bedroom or some garage somewhere.

What, no mention of Django Reinhardt, Segovia, Les Paul or Wes Montgomery?

:roll: This needs to go so much deeper. Robert Johnson, Son House, Muddy Waters, Earl Hooker, John Lee Hooker...................................



yeah there are just way to many left out to vote.
i guess you would have to list the guitarists in the different styles of music they play.

So so so true.....No doubt he or she is...If it can be quantified......Some kid in a 3rd world country with no hope of discovery and and has nothing but his grandfathers old hacked up guitar on a old nylon string that lives for nothing but classical guitar and adapts to all styles like a freak of nature......That'd be my bet!! Romatic i know but still my bet!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I vote for Brad Paisley, Joe Bonamassa, and Warren Haynes. Not because either is the 'best guitarist in the world', just cause they're my three favorites.



How the hell would we know who the "best" guitarist is? Also, see Supie above. The only thing we know is our favorites.



PS- He's probably in Philly.

ozrv.

what is your les paul goldtop like compared to a normal les paul.
i almost put jeff beck on there but then i thought of robert cray and sonny landreth

63supro.
i could only put ten people on the forum
i totally appreciate blues musicians . i could put 100 guitarists on the list and not everyone would be happy



Yeah well the P90's make it much hotter and thinner i suppose more player control instead of just diggin for heavy rock noises heaps more trebble than buckkers i suppose.....I would be one of the lesser experienced people on here to go into the intricate differences of P90's to Burst Buckkers though but that's what my ears get !! I mean it's not such a Chunk Chunk Slash sort of sound....Louder sensitive and hot.....Crakker for slide guitar!!!

None of the above... I think Hendrix is great, but he isn't with us anymore. The way it was worded makes it seem like this is out of guitarists who are still living.
