World's Greatest Guitarists
 

There are alot of awesome guitar players in music. Name and discuss your favorites here.

For me, Metallica's Kirk Hammet is a master of solos. Of Course, Kirk takes a backseat to Creed's Mark Tremonti, especially with his solos on the Full Circle album!

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

You know it sir. Personally, I was turned on to Metallica by my mother three years ago with the Justice record
(which inspired my signature) I'm more into St. Anger lately but the reason is too complicated to explain. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU!!!!

ROCK ON! I'm sorry for this question (and I'm sorry if you find it offensive) but isn't it strange how preachers find help in music with bands like Metallica, would you please explain that to me?

Also, today marks a new day for me, I've just repented and gave my life to Christ. YAY!!!

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

Its really a lot subjective when one talks about World's greatest guitarist. Its not like there is a Pepsi or Coke out there.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, yeah, he has been the one for me.

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

How can I forget about one of the greats. Pantera's Dimebag Darrel Abbott, whose life was taken tragically onstage by a marine. May you rest in peace and in greatness.

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

How could I forget the power of Mudvayne's Greg Tribbet? With their self titled release he shines brightest. That's my opinion.

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

I'll go with steve vai.
I saw a video of him while playing Tender Surrender and it was good. People say he acts gay or idiosyncratic on stage but he spills his heart out with his playing, and his facial expressions are a part of his playing. Respect his art. It's all love!

Re: World's Greatest Guitarists
 

How did I miss this question? Agree that "best" of anything is subjective, so here's my list of who I think is the greatest:

Kirk Hammett -- Just love the feel he has for material and the solos he has come up with.

Tom Morello -- I love his originality. He is mesmerizing to watch onstage. What he does with guitar sound is beyond cool.

James Hetfield -- He's awesome and sometimes just doesn't get enough credit for his chops.

Jerry Cantrell -- This guy plays with such awesome feel. He makes the guitar talk, e.g. Hurts Don't It or Whale and Wasp.

B.B. King -- He's the king...enough said.

Eric Clapton -- Right up there. The man is a master. He makes playing look so easy and fluid. I love his bluesy stuff.

Mark Tremonti -- I love that he developed his own sound. He's a beast live as well.

Stevie Ray Vaughn -- Another one who plays with incredible feel along with skill.

Mike McCready -- Love, love, love this guy, especially live. Check out November Hotel sometime. Killer.

Adam Jones -- Another one with a signature sound.

John Wesley -- He's known for touring with Marillion and Porcupine Tree, and he's amazing on guitar, especially live. When I first saw PT, I immediately noticed Wesley and thought, wow, what a great player. Beautiful player. His solo material is pretty sweet, too.
