Who's your favorite guitarist of your generation?

For me, it's gotta be Slash. The man is known for everything. Probably one of the most noted solos of all time (remember my gen) is Sweet Child o Mine. Next to Ferby in that cute little number, his riff at the 2011 Half Time Show was worth every minute I had to sit through Ferby and her gang barking, squawking, screeching if that's called music.

Randy Rhodes, to bad his career was cut short

Alan Lee, Ted Nugent, & Eric Clapton

Frank Zappa. Without Question.

Carlos Santana

Jimi Hendrix !

Stevie Ray Vaughns got my vote.

Jeff Beck. ANy questions?

Phil Keaggy, Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck...

 

Geez, I almost forgot Leo Kottke, Adrian Legg, Al DiMeola... just too many favs for me to name one.

Jeff Beck. ANy questions?

 

Anyone who names a song "Constipated Duck" gets my vote! LOL Dude's got chops, no question about it.

Frank Zappa. Without Question.

 

 

Jeff Beck. ANy questions?

 

 

Rolling stone picked top - 100 guitarist-number one pick    jimi hendrix   Without question- ANy questions?

My generation? I'll go with Slash too.

 

His new stuff is good too, that song "Anastasia" has a good opening.

Slash and Dimebag Darrel

Dang, forgot about DD.

 

Love me some Pantera.

Danny Gatton   Robin Trower   Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

I've never agreed that Hendrix is #1.  Great player,  writer,  innovator.  Even Hendrix didn't consider himself the best or even close.  If you want to know how good a writer and innovator he was,  just listen to Stevie Ray play his music.

Jimmy Page

 

A-Jay

My generation? Im not sure. I was born in 83, but grew up with classic rock. All time fav without a doubt is David Gilmour. Theres no touching him. Not a shredder by any means, but if you want to FEEL the music, listen to Gilmour. Close behind him for me has to be Clapton and SRV.

One of todays great guitarists, and dont laugh, is John Mayer. He might be an uber DB, but if you look past all that, and dont listen to the words and just listen to the guitar, the man has got soul.
