gilmour, next question

John Scofield

there is no best only favorite.

Goven. The answer will remain that until he dies.

Not some fucking shredder mong like you posted

Not me

Someone actually got the right answer

Slash

John Frusciante, aka the greatest guitarist of all time.

I'm actually tempted to agree because he has actual good music to back it up. All the other so-called virtuosos haven't worked on anything nearly as good as Niandra LaDes or Frances the Mute.

Like what's Steve Vai's claim to fame? Playing on Zappa's weakest albums? Filling in for Robert Fripp on the recent 80s King Crimson tour? Being a walking billboard for whatever guitar brands he uses? The hype is all manufactured in the case of Vai and others like him.

Exactly. John Frusciante is the greatest guitarist of all time and a musical genius. There is no one like him and there will never be so.

Also don't forget Ataxia and The Empyrean.
BSSM is also an amazing guitar album. Frusciante was just bursting at the seams with creativity.

i just got into this guy after finding a go go in an antique shop for a couple of bucks. which other albums would you recommend?

mk.gee and it's not even close

James hetfield

Uberjam for that modern funky beats jam band stuff, Shinola for three dudes in a small club playing straight ahead jazz vibe. You can also check out any project with him as sideman, he recently delivered in Scary Goldings.

Mascis?

peter greenway

Michael Romeo

boring music

Pass.

Eric Clapton

Keith Richards

Tfw always told my dad I wanted to be the best guitarist in the world and I he would always say ‘no matter what you do, there will always be a million Asian kids who can do it better’

So I’m gonna assume some Asian kid is the best atm

your dad is a retard. no asian has ever been good at guitar. or any rock instrument

Based.

Eddie Van Halen = hapa

Dutch.

Sure, half. His mom was an old Asian lady.
Jake Lee another hapa, but Japanese. Two of the biggest hard rock guys of the 80s were hapas.

currently:
julian lage

just on a technical level alone ignoring making interesting music::
mancuso or abasi

noel gallagher

James Iha
Also there were plenty of good Japanese rock bands and musicians in the 80s and 90s before the weeb shit took over.

he did some stuff with Medeski Martin and Wood that was pretty good
