boytroy74 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 My vote goes to Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, who is not on the list. That guy could do everything with the guitar, just listen to any Rage song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bleedsbluengold24 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 A list of greatest guitarists without Stevie Ray is incomplete at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'll pull a cheaptrick Rock snob moment and say it's pretty hard for a person to rank the greatest guitarists if they, themselves, don't play geetar. With that said, I have waaaaay too many snobby favorites to pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPTTIGER Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Your poll should be the greatest rock guitar player....the ability to play a guitar is not limited to rock....roy clark and glenn campbell can pick with the best of them...they just played a different style.....and did i miss james burton...lead guitar player for elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 ^ don't forget Les Paul either. :) ... or Danny Cedrone of Bill Haley & His Comets. His solo on "Rock Around The Clock" is incredible. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptrick77 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 ^ yeah, I was going to merge all the threads together, but since this one is a poll, it would have erased the voting results. There are actually two vintage SDC threads on this subject: http://www.smoaky.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=9830 http://www.smoaky.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=51443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fivehead Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The 2 greatest guitarists of all time are 1. Chet Atkins and 2. Jimi Hendrix. I do play the guitar, and have for 35 years, although I am probably about as much of a picker as Elvis or George Strait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Originally posted by THSdudeJames Hetfield wasnt even the best guitarist in his own band That's what I was thinking ... might want to change that to lead guitar in Metallica: Kirk Hammett.
