Greatest Living Guitarists

[Basil Fawlty]

First concert I went to was Dire Straits

They are different gravy, I love their albums. Espically the song Tunnel of Love.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Angus is my favourite, although i think David Gillmour must be added

 

[Les Biehn]

My mate loves Squire and asked me to put this-

Noel Gallagher going "woah" when John Squire started playing Champagne Supernova at Knebworth.

Nuff said.

 

[Cian]

best bassist? Matt Freeman from Rancid without a shadow of a doubt!

Bassline to Rejected is simply stunning!

Peter Hook

 

[Beeercan]

Flea = Best Bassist

 

[Albion Edd]

My mate loves Squire and asked me to put this-

Noel Gallagher going "woah" when John Squire started playing Champagne Supernova at Knebworth.

David Gilmour

[e77]

David Gilmour is the governor.

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

Dave Gilmour
Slash
Jimmy Page
BB King
John Williams

The gf would say Richie Sambora, but...

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

[NMH]

Slash, Page or even Beck.

It's not "even" when Jeff Beck is in the same sentence. He RULES over Page and Slash.

Jimi Hendrix, however, was the nazz. He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar.

Again I must mention the Only Ones - John Perry was perhaps the greatest guitarist I've seen playing live.

Bloody good call that, by the way he writes biographies now and he recently published a biography on Hendrix.

He had whiney solo on Another Planet but there was better stuff to be had somewhere, i will check thorugh Lovers of Today or something from Even Serpents Shine.

 

[Icy Gull]

First concert I went to was Dire Straits

At the Dome before they really took off?

Carlos Santana for me, I also like Joe Walsh, especially his facial expressions when he gets to the tricky bits

 

[Beach Hut]

Clapton for me.

 

[Trufflehound]

Again I must mention the Only Ones .

And why not? One of the most underrated bands of all time.


However, greatest guitarist: Andy Gill of Gang of Four. Accept no substitutes. Anyone who's seen him play will know.

 

[Trufflehound]

Even Serpents Shine.

The second greatest album of all-time imo.
