Ok lets stop fucking around!
Keith Richards is the best "all around" guitar player.
Even thouugh he can't come close to blowing my mind like Jeff Beck.
Who else can play shit like the stuff on Voodoo Brew?

Well, I think young Maxy was pretty damn good in the old days. Young Maxy had the pose down and everything! |

Young Maxy, or even middle age Maxy (wink wink) has ALL the poses down just right mein little Gypsy Gyps Gyps!
Lets talk about US.
Will Maxy's new Little Turtle Dove be coming to NYC this January?
Does she have the "rocks"?
I'll just say Maxy has incredible "ab" power.
Developing........
Hard........
MAXY!!!! |

Maxy, I'm only going to the OKC show on January 28th. But, sure wish I could join all of you in NYC, or anywhere else for that matter. I wish the Stones would just play Owen Stadium like they did in '97. I could just walk there, plus there wouldn't be so much white trash. But, I'll take the Stones however I can get 'em.

Best in the Guitar is definitely Keif Riffhard.
I remember the Pearl Jam guitarist paying homage to him in a TV interview years ago by describing how no one is like Keith in taking just two strings and jamming the hell out of them in infinitely new ways.
Melissa Etheridge also said as much in an RS magazine a couple years back.
I agree with these musicians & Keith fans. And repeating what I thought in the "Best Keith Intro" thread, it's that impeccable timing in his head for releasing, braking, overlapping, etc. those fuzz notes & chords. That timing can't be quantified or imitated. It's just Keith Richards. Those bursts of electric sound and those bursts of silence. I believe a Keithfucius would say of this Zen guitar: It's not just the notes he puts in but the notes he leaves out!

There's a dude named carlos santana. I know of another guy named stevie ray vaughn. He's dead though. |

Let's see, if we break it down into some categories:
Fastest - Jimi Page (camera couldn't even follow his fingers)
Melody - Dickie Betts (boy can he make that guitar sing)
Lead - Carlos Santana (incredible ability to play those notes)
Rhythm - Keith Richards (the "grittiest" player ever)
Nough said! |

Carlos just accompanied Faith Hill in "Breath"..enough said!! |

In my honest opinion
ROCK:
KEITH RICHARDS/RONNIE WOOD/CHUCK BERRY
PERFECTION PLAYERS:
MICK RONSON/DAVID GILMOUR
SLIDE:
RONNIE WOOD/JOHNNY WINTER |

Mmm. Mick Ronson was great. Brian Jones' slide. Syd Barrett's glissandi. |
|

| jb |
Littler Mick Ronson is mentioned in Wymans new book..looks a bit like the late Randy Rhoades of Crazy Train/Ozzy fame. |

His solo work is very underrated - 'Hey Ma! Get Pappa'; 'Growing Up and I'm Fine.' And he's the co-author of one of rock's greatest images. |

all these people that you mention are all talented players no doubt - but i'd say it's all pretty much subjective views - keith is obviously my of my favourites - and SS is right re robert johnson - his place and name in the scheme of things is no hype
but, speaking as objectively as possible, i can't see how you can go past hendrix - he was truly revoltionary - one of the few influential musicins ( or artist of any form in the C20th or any other) that comletely revoltionized not only his instrument but his "art" as well - so much so that he was almost scientific (albeit, it would seem, by following nothing but his intuition)in his breakthroughs
he is the man
go on, tell em i'm wrong...

What about non 'r'n'r musicians? Or are we only talking about rock, with a hint of blues? |

Oh, Joey, I feel the love for Petey Wetey O Pavidgar Baba Townshend. He has amazing chops on rhythm I'd say. Classifying the best under certain styles does work better. Let's see:
Blues: SRV-sorry he's damn good, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Albert King.
Speed: Buckethead (but he sucks so it doesn't count), then let's say Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads.
Rhythm: Keef, Pete Townshend, Woody, Jimmy Page.
Inventive leads: Carlos Santana, Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Duane Allman/Dicky Betts, Randy Rhoads.
Technical Wizardry (cool sounds using): Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Lifeson, David Gilmour.
Riffing: Keith is the best by far.

Useful. But I�d drop the Speed guitarits for a start. And I�d include Brian Jones and Syd Barrett under Inventive leads, and Syd under the technical section.
How about the composer Sor? He did a lot for guitar composition.

Let's put Angus Young in the rhythm and "grittiest" category as well. And the most energetic! Man, what power that little dude can get out of minimalist chord structures is, of course, already legendary.
Keif & Angus, now that's a pair! Any of the Aussie members on this site know if they ever jammed together?
Now that would be exhilarating!

George Harrisson, who could say more in two notes than most guitarists in twenty. |
