UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

Did I mention in this website that I saw Joe Pass do a solo gig at...what was it...Dante's Nightclub in L.A.? Eventually his solos got a bit long in the tooth for me but there was no questioning his soul, chops or integrity. 

onhwy61- all the players listed are great-Rick Derringer imm

ediately brings to mind the incomparable Johnny Winter.

I’ve posted this before- A real R&R guitarist has to make Johnny B Goode their own.

All 20 somethings think all good musicians are irrelevant.  That's what it's like to be young and inexperienced.

But I wouldn't put Nugent in the top 1000 guitarists.

"All 20 somethings think all good musicians are irrelevant."

Like many things, such a statement isn't true. It's just 20 something musicians and very few 20 something non musicians who do.

"But I wouldn't put Nugent in the top 1000 guitarists."

clearthinker-the screename and your replies don't seem to correlate.

The video clearly defines the thread. It's about Ted opinion of who took post Classic Rock guitar to the next level, which was EVH.

Funny how the thread subject quickly turned into the ridiculous "best" it wasn't intended  to be.

Clearthinker must have spent an enormous amount of time interviewing 20-somethings to make such a blanket statement about ALL of them.

And as far as I'm concerned, music coming from digital workstations is every bit as valid as coming from a gee-tar and requires a great deal of skill to do well.

Whichever it is, if it doesn't serve the song/composition and is just there to impress about what a good musician you are, not interested.
