nope. his songs suck and he sings like a faggot, but his ability to play guitar is unquestionable.

Ok, let me start
>>699342830
... Pretty sure the ability to write good music is most of what makes a good guitarist.
If we go by your logic, then that asian dude from Dragonforce is the shit, but nobody gives a shit about him because dragonforce is crap.
>>699341637
There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little Banana thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" Banana guy, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a fucking banana. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic Bananafag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS PICTURE." You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.
>>699343083
the ability to write good music makes you a good song writer.
Faggots and plebs, the lot of you
>>699343159
you need to calm down anon
>>699343265
Yes, but being a good guitar player encompasses song writing. Good guitarists don't play guitar so that they can play random notes really fast for people.
My point is, John Mayer is not a god-tier guitarist. By a long shot.
>>699343320
Is that Marr?

there is a difference between song writing and vamping a solo over a progression. look up what many of the god-tier guitarists in this thread have to say about him.

Okay, John Mayer is a god-tier vamper.
Not a guitarist, though.

That faggot is terrible. He sounds like the sound effect on cheap locally produced cartoons when the computer goes haywire.
I want to see him suffer at the hands of ISIS.
The anguished shrieks of tortured children would actually sound soothing comparex to this faggot.
Lester is cool, though.

Chuck the god.

I watched that video and even looked up the song knowing it was a waste of time.
The song was boring as fuck and who gives a shit if Eric Clapton endorsed him?
You must be John Mayer or something.

you'll grow out of that phase eventually
why tf is Ler so underrated
>>699345639
Im his own words he said he just hoped he he would get decent at guitar before he died.
So tell me senpai, if jerry is a shit tier guitarist,who is a guitar god?

Hopefully you'll grow out of John Mayer if you want people to take you seriously.

grateful dead is absolutely one of my favorite bands, but to say jerry garcia is god tier guitarist is delusional. they werent that great of musicians
Richie Kotzen
>>699342917
go stab yourself
>>699346106
i don't own a single piece of his music. never have. don't care for it. i still am able to admit he is one of the most talent guitarists of his generation. not interested in being taken seriously either.
>>699343292
Alright alright alright
>>699346467
Well that's great, then.
>>699346153
Meh enjoy your opinion brah.
Wtf are we even talking about here? Technical skill, songwriting ability improvisionitional ability? This shit is subjective motherfucker
>>699345476
yes
>>699345476
Still underrated. Too bad he became surrounded by deadhead junkies trying to hide from the world instead people like him adventuring into it and beyond.
You, drug addled faggot bandwagoneers, you fucking killed him. He just wanted to play guitar and push the cosmic envelope but you fuckers just wanted to hear him noodle while your were escaping reality.
Fuck you!! Keep your John Mayer and go fuck yourselves.
Guthrie govan.
>>699346769
aww shit, i forgot about the improvisational aspect, in that regard, maybe grateful dead is alot more talented then i originally gave them credit for
>>699342338

Those quads don't lie
To the people hating on Mayer..there's a reason why he was chosen to play Garcias roll in Dead & Company. Dude slays a guitar. Check out the John Mayer Trio for good Mayer. Dude made money playing pop songs and has literally been riding the money from that killing everything else.
Just to name a few:
Mustaine
Marty Freedman
John Petrucci
Jerry Cantrell
Dave Gilmour
Kk Downing
Frampton
>>699352425
Why is this the first time Dave Gilmour is named??

His first self titled solo album is fucking amazing
>>699353731
ye he is
>>699339551
Bloomer!
>>699339551
I'm kinda curious, what do you guys think about Frusciante??
>>699354244
Fuck yes!
>>699354244
ol' Terry "it's not loaded" Kath
>>699355812
Haha! Yep. Dude was exceptionally talented though, so much so that Hendrix said Kath was a better guitar player than him.
Frank Zappa
>>699356051
i think nobody can argue that "25 or 6 to 4" has one of the best solos ever
I feel Mike Mccreedy from Pearl Jam is underrated kinda. The solo in Alive is one of my favorites.
>>699345045
yes great with a slide.
>>699356740
Pic related is one of my all-time favorite albums. Kath is tremendous throughout the entire album.
>>699348452
massively underrated
>>699341899
Brobro...how sad is your life that you feel like john mayer is a great guitarist?
>>699357074
massively senile
>>699349416
Who tf is that?
>>699355512
Because anyone that doesnt know who he is needs to seriously rethink their musical tastes
>>699357250
Do a Google/Youtube search you ignorant douche.
>>699357250

Shawn Lane, Ron Thal, Guthrie Govan.
Three of the technically most proficient guitarists to ever grace the planet. They all each are quite soulful and interesting aside from their objective musical mastery.
>>699357458
Now I get it...
>He's English
>Nobody gives a fuck
It all makes sense now
>>699357843
Glad to see you're still ignorant despite your quick education.
>>699343641
I love marr
>>699358016
I am American after all
>>699358016
On a more serious note, I will investigate further when I have time. I love expanding my music library and I listen to just about any style of music regardless of where its from. Just had to give you a hard time *shrug*
>>699358442
I think you'll find that both Robert Fripp and Jeff Beck are incredibly influential guitarists.
>>699358132
Dude I like nirvana but cobain was a shit guitar player. They purposely made their music as simple as fuck and he still could barely play the songs
>>699357635
How can one possibly be so musically ignorant?
>>699358588 I've heard of Jeff Beck before. Can't say that i've heard him play though. I play, so I'm always open to finding new inspiration
>>699358690
Dude, not that other anon, but pearl jam is shit, once you turn 18 you will realize
>>699358690
Im sorry that you have shit taste in music...carry on sheep...
>>699358606
fuck you
the only guitarist better than cobain was johnny ramone
>>699358851
I'm glad that im not the only one that sees it>>699358851
>>699358755
You'll appreciate his style given that you play. Enjoy!
>>699358606
Probably because he was so fucked up all of the time
>>699339551
this thread is a sausage fest, and missing the greatest guitarist of our time
https://youtu.be/XcjLvWCOgb0
There are other music genres with God tier guitarists bedsides Rock.
>>699359005
Do you even understand music or do you just listen to it?
>feeling baited but i must know
bet nobodys ever heard of this guy
>>699359107
>thats a good one
>>699359350
Could there possibly be a reason for that? Especially if he's a supposedly god-tier guitarist? Because in my experience, if you're god-tier, your name/work is well recognized and you don't live in obscurity.
>>699358851
Im 35 faggot
>>699358943
If you think all PJs songs sound the same i dont think you know anything about music.
Youre the faggot who posted john mayer arent you?
Post some real talents now please.
>>699342917
Way underrated as a guitar player
>>699345974
Was gonna post him, his talent surpasses most guitar players these days, good choice anon
>>699359675
Jesus 35 and still listening to pearl jam? Kys
>>699357635
I'm not saying PJ is underrated, just Mike for his guitar skills. And only kind of. And repetitive? Have you listened to Ten and Vs? They're very solid albums.
>>699340282
One of the very few players who can express so much in a simple held note or silence in a song
>>699359612
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FakBwBLvBc
he's a great guitarist dude, but most blues guys dont get super famous
>>699360427
James is better
Idiots
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Bream
>>699360573
does anybody actually listen to his music tho?
>>699357181
Honestly I thought the same until I heard his acoustic set on one of his recorded shows. The dude has chops, but has evolved into more pop than anything else. His acoustic playing + strumming + percussiveness on Stop This Train is one of the hardest I've ever tried to master
Also does a damn good Hendrix impression on Bold As Love.

Because Claypool is a spotlight hog, and Ler really doesn't care about being up front, he's a pretty chill guy. Anyone that can write guitar parts around the monsterously attention grabbing basslines Les plays is a god in my book though. Btw haven't listened to Primus in a while, thanks for reminding me of them.
>>699360261
Really? Most blues guys don't get famous? How do you explain the following blues-inspired guitarists became regarded as god-tier musicians.

My old guitar teacher lived through the 80s when every EVH clone metal guitar-wanker thought that being the next big thing in music meant being faster and more technical than every other guitar player.
Then Nirvana came along and pretty much singlehandedly killed metal as pop with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which any asshole can learn in about five minutes and sound just as good as Kurt Cobain.

He wasn't famous until after his death for his dark delta bluesman ways…
>>699364268
wouldn't say god tear but damn awesome
>>699364334
Does that somehow negate the fact that he's god-tier? Or that he's known now?
james williamson
>>699364418
Just saying, friend. Very little is known about the bluesman, or his life. He's an enigma… but he played the delta blues for anyone who would listen.
Dick Fuckin Dale
Alexi Laiho
Mostly Something Wild, Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper, and a good bit of HCDR.

wayne kramer
>>699364593
Man, look at those little weenie arms. I'd recommend long sleeves, Alexi.
>>699364562
So, while he was alive, he played for people and was known. If he was god-tier while he was alive (because how could he be god-tier when dead?), then he was god-tier and known while he was alive. This line of logic renders the point being made here >>699361755 invalid.
>>699364720
If he'd lift he'd look a lot better definitely.
Doesn't mean he can't still murder a solo though

>>699342219
Awesome to see some respeck for our lord and savior chuck, you're a cool guy anon.
>>699364789
I think he transcended into god-tier after his death, though some may debate this because of his rumored dark dealings…
>>699364951
Sounds like a real good guitarist, just using a pentatonic scale anytime he isnt just hitting off fucking notes god damnit
Mick Taylor you newbs
>>699365092
