Favorite Guitarists Of All Time

**panhead** · 08-26-2011, 01:19 PM

John Mcglaughlin..fusion jazz.
Al DiMeola..fusion jazz.
Paco Deluca..flaminco.
Frank Zappa..rock & orchestral.
Warren Cuccorillo..machine gun & stunt guitar.
Steve Via..stunt guitar.
Dzeezil Zappa...blues.
Billy Gibbons...blues.
Stanley Clark..fusion bass.

Highest technicaly skilled composer..Frank Zappa.

Most technicaly proficient player..toss up between Warren Cucurillo & Steve Via.

Ive saw all these players live including Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention & Frank Zappa band,also the ZPZ band which is a no miss show.

Anybody reading who likes highly skilled compositions no matter the genre should go see the Zappa plays Zappa tour,Dweezils rendition of Franks music is outfukinstanding,very close to what Franks shows were & in some cases much better.

Dweezil studied for 3 years to be able to play his fathers co.pisitions & to learn his picking style which he mastered,no small task either,Dweezil has become one of the most talented new artists on guitar.

Anybody not familuar with him or zpz should look him up on youtube.

no one?.......

and no one says Matt and John from shadows fall???
Or Alexi from CoB??

Dime's obviously the man.

Jimmy Hendrix, however steve ray Vaughan killed some of Hendrix songs

SRV's little wing killed jimmie's IMO...

john 5...hands down....marilyn mansons old guitarist...plays for zombie now and does blugrass on the side....

He can't show off his real talent playing for manson and zombie. The only thing I can figure is he wanted a change of pace. I mean the dude jammed with David Lee, among a whole list of others. And his solo work is great.

Brian May of Queen , Steve Howe of Yes, Frank Zappa, love, love, love him!! Adrian Belew, Warren Haynes of Government Mule, Jerry Garcia, unfortunately the late Jerry Garcia--nonetheless a fine picker...gosh there are so many fine and great guitarists--John McLaughlin, also known as the Mahavishnu, Pete Townsend of the WHO.....
