Here's some "Masters" that got together recently...

The right note at the right time, so to speak. The opening riff from "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" comes to mind. I just love that sound. The man has soul, whereas your so-called shredder types, like Malmsteen or Steve Vai, leave me cold. I'll take Keith over guys like that any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Keith makes it look so simple but its very hard to get that sound....and i try all the time.
"Cant you here me knocking" IMHO greatest Stone song off all time off their greatest recording ....sticky fingers.

Keith is the reason I play a Telecaster and Clapton a Strat.
I know 50 million will say a LP is better but I can play them well for some reason.
Maybe its because my first Guitar was a Tele

I have both, and I don't think one is better than the other. They are different and you get a different sound out of each; humbuckers versus single coils. Personally, I think they are both outstanding guitars.

BigMac53 · 30 November 2010, 02:59 AM

In no particular order my top 5 list is:

SRV
Hendrix
Clapton
Freddie King
Jimmy Page

. Im old and hands have arthritis .....cant play that stuff anymore.
well never could when I was 30 either.

I read the other day he gave up drinking and smoking now that he has kids and is 45 ...getting old changes you

Keith give up?.....no way......he will die with a cigarette in his mouth.

Keith has never been the best guitarist in the band, let alone overall.

Route 66 · 30 November 2010, 03:09 AM

Stevie Ray Vaughn is my favorite.

I also like:

Eric Clapton

Buddy Guy

Duane Allman

Jimmie Johnson

Robert Johnson (not electric, I know)

Could be because the blues is my favorite style of guitar playing.

TattooedGQ · 30 November 2010, 03:32 AM

Best commercial ever!! Coors/ Les Paul

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8O5wZAd2z4

"It's on your guitar" that's incredible.

Ed Rooney · 30 November 2010, 03:50 AM

I think it's been pretty well proven that Ralph Macchio is the best.

oo7 · 30 November 2010, 03:54 AM

Malmsteen or VanHalen. Done.

Timber Loftis · 30 November 2010, 04:15 AM

http://www.theinsider.com/news/31657...e_Do_you_agree

This list has gotten a lot of discussion, as you can imagine, but it's what Rolling Stone had to say on the topic.

Rory Gallagher is not on the list and he is one if not the best blues Strat player of all time. Slash is not on the list.
Joan Jett????WTF

Kurt C. was not that good ....

SRV should be higher up ..so should Jimmy P.

SaddleSC · 30 November 2010, 04:50 AM

Slash and Jimmy Page...not necessarily in that order.

Timber Loftis · 30 November 2010, 04:57 AM

One that I previously underappreciated was Frusciante. I went to a Chili Peppers concert last year and it was a sight to see him and Flea playing off each other.

Ed Rooney · 30 November 2010, 05:01 AM

I don't want to hear any more about Keith Richards. He's not even the best guitar player in the Stones.

I saw him a bunch when the Chilis were playing clubs in '89/90.

He say that alone they are no good, but he and Ronnie together are better than ten others.

boa2 · 30 November 2010, 10:27 AM

So many I love, hard to name a "greatest", but my favorites:

Nels Cline
Eddie Van Halen
Jimmy Page
J. Mascis
Nuno Bettencourt
Richard Thompson

And my favorite of all (if 2:00 on doesn't blow your mind, I don't know what will)...

expensivetaste · 30 November 2010, 11:19 AM

There are some excellent names here many of which I certainly would have listed, but my favorite has to be Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. Tom does things with the guitar that most never thought possible.

Art 1 · 30 November 2010, 11:29 AM

Jeff Beck, Robin Trower.

mr ling · 30 November 2010, 11:31 AM

Yngwie, Joe Bonamasa, SRV, Clapton, Trey Anastasio, and John Petrucci are a few of my favs..

This is what I get for trusting my memory - it's Surfing With the Alien. As in, singular. Anyhow... how do you embed a video?

Great names showing up throughout this thread. I was particularly glad to see somebody picking up Nuno, Trower and Bonamosa (the recent Black Country Communion record with him, Glen Hughes, and Jason Bonham is killer!!!).

I've got to toss in Blackmore, Iommi, Paul Gilbert, and Richie Kotzen.

blackmsport · 30 November 2010, 12:11 PM

Mark Knopler (Dire Straits)
Eric Clapton
Carlos Santana
