God Tier Guitarists
Govan is superb.
Should have specified he plays bass guitar, but you're right.
You don't even have to look at a different band to find a god tier guitarist
>>697999396
Bassists don't count, faggot. Any dildo can play it.
rock music
>ew
>>698000061
Not any dildo can play it like he can
Robert Fripp
I cum on useless faggot basses
>>698000061
Listen YYZ by Rush, he is fucking amazing, also plays the keyboard
>posts a cum guzzling faggot bass "player" when referring to guitarists
don't give me that "bass guitar is a guitar" bullshit, "guitarist" means electric guitar to anyone with more than two fucking brain cells
get your shitty fucking retarded useless cunt bassists out of here. Every single one of them is a piece of shit
>>698000061
Pretty sure Les Claypool would count
Geddy kills the bass, Lifeson shreds and Peart is literally perfect on the drums
One of the best
>>698000725
keked hard
Keiji Haino
>>698000599
Checked, also dubs confirm
>>697999396
Geddy is a bassist you fucking downy
Another
Tosin Abasi, unbeatable
Randy Rhoads, Chuck Sculdiner and Jeff Hanneman are to be considered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw25dOC7H9M
only video that needs to be watched in regards to bass playing virgins
>>698001018
And another
>>698000988
But here's who I have as my most God tier guitarist. The one, the only, Dimebag
Rob fucking chapman
No one is gonna mention Jimi?
>>698001505
He does not need mention, it is supposed he is a god tier guitarrist
>>698001420
literally defines the skill ceiling
>>698001505
Niggers don't count.
When have niggers ever counted?
These three
>>698001741
names, please?
Mark Knopfler is pretty good
Brian May
** Geddy is playing BASS - that's a different animal than regular guitar... don't mix the 2. i can play guitar pretty well but don't have the brain for bass
>>697999396
Is this ozzy?
>>698001018

>>698001613
Wow anon, from that comment I can tell you're so funny and cool and sociable. I wish I was as funny as you.

>>698002112
That's awesome man. I've always wanted to see either him or the whole band. Wish they could put aside their beef and do a farewell tour. Not a 3 city only deal but travel a bit. Don't need the whole wall production I just want to hear the guitar riffs live.
>ITT people who think "bass guitars" aren't guitars
>>698002199
Fuckin butthurt
>>698001613
lel niggers pioneered guitar playing
>>698002339
Nobody thinks bass guitars aren't guitars you fucking cum-guzzling dipshit, the term "guitarist" refers to fucking electric guitarists to everyone without sever autism. Literally nobody ever says "oh man he's my favorite guitarist" referring to a fucking bassist.
Kill yourself you obese retard

Guitarist and bassist here.
>Too mediocre to be generic le ebin metalz shreddzzzz
>Too good to be a bassist for gigs
it fucking sucks. Bass is easy enough when your hands are big and you know some theory, but I'm stuck playing rhythm guitar because the lead doesn't know what a fucking chord is.
>>698000061
Bass might be the easiest instrument to play but it's the hardest to master. (According to old music teacher)
Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, David Gilmore, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iomi, Jimmy Paige, James Hettfeild, and Jimi Hendrix.
>>698004598
i 2nd this
>>698000061
not quite, the bass has its place since nothing else can hit the low frequencies like it. A true good bassist has a type of fingerpicking only rivaled technically by classical guitarists.
Yes, there is generally less strings but their strings are very fat and spaced out making it hard to be as dextrous as a sissy-string guitarist.
I recognize bass as a true form of guitar.
>>698000061
not your thread faggot
>>698000988
bass >guitar
>>698001420

could use less distortion and less marketing shtick

I know, dude. My dream is to one day wake up and REALLY find out that I'll get to see them play. I Love Pink Floyd.
>>698003201
he could hardly play
>>698002286
not saaying hes not good, theyre great
but they wouldnt be half as good without mics, amps, and eq's doing the tone manipulation for them.
they play guitars like keyboards with buttons instead of strings with dynamic properties.
>>698001613
>Implying YOU aren't a fucking nigger.

Also. No love for Peter Green?
Kys summerfags, respect the real God bassist Merle Allin
>>698007044
Saw him 57 times
>>698003254
Saw him once
>>698003238
Saw him about 15 (?) times
>>698001018
Saw him once, desperately want to see him again.
I like Marrs work when he was in The Smiths. The bassist was also excellent.
>>697999396
Taylor Swift
>>698001597
This.
Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson and DMX somehow didn't make this list.

Agreed niggers only understand mud huts and bongo drums. They will never have the attention span to become guitarist in a country full of white women, welfare and things to steal, to many distractions
>>698001369
Fuck yes
/thread
When will anyone mention blackmore??
>>698008192

Agreed. Back when I played, it was with thumb + 3 fingers. On a six string guitar it was thumb + 4 fingers.

i learned so much from prince, specifically how to let loose with my playing and find ways of being spontaneous with the music. he was a supremely talented guitarist but an incredible band leader and multi-instrumentalist. sorely missed
Tim Henson
>>698012169
Hell yeah, back when one artist could tear down the house for the Super Bowl instead of them have 10 different acts to try to be "bigger"
>>698014866

Stu is obviously an amazing bassist but he is a machine
The rest of you can go home now!!!!

only a few bass players posed in a guitar thread? As a bass player i have come to know the only other people who appreciate a good bass player are other bass players, or drummers....
Josh Homme from Kyuss
Comes up with some of the sickest riffs
>>698020399
i'm so glad peter steele is there : 3
this fucking hobo
>>697999396
>>698020399
thats because bass players and drummers barely require any skill to play their instruments. How does it feel to know even highschool orchestra and band kids mock you?
>>698020399
>I feel pretty good! This freeballing is amazing!
Goddamn I miss this show
Bass guitars are what parents get there kids before they are skilled enough to play real guitar, some kids never realize that bass guitars are just toys tho and keep playing them any way despite the limitation, buy a seven string or a six, so much better Then playing five year old smoke on the water pretend instruments, besides a computer can play the bass guitar for your band and no one pays atention to the bassist exept people who play bass while every one else drools over the lead guitarist and singer because they actually have skill
>>698001741
Oh yes. How about these three?
>>698021681
I care about bass and i don't play shit
>>698021681
Wow anon, you sure convinced me with those HOT opinions!
>>698021681
Two replies already I think these bassist are pissed
>>698001018
Ok, he has two of the greatest solos in rock history, but on his own without waters, he is sackless and effete. It's sad. He. Has greatness in him, but he needs the tension roger gave him.
>>698022061
Tired of real guitarist sounding better then you
>>698001148
No one cares.
>>698012169
Yup.
>>698021681
Metalfag detected.
When you're a real musician and you grow out of edgy fads and trends, you'll realize how useful and great the bassist and guitar is. if the lows in a mix were done completely by computer, it'd make any band the fucking laughing stock of musician groups.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd30xwa8nPI
if you don't want a bassist, just play power chords with an 8 string and see how far it takes you, metalfag
>>698021681
You probably listen to heavy metal, which is incredibly overrated
>>698003331
Not really. You have to mean it. Sid could it play for shit, but he meant it. You need both.
>>698007044 Nice dubs
>>698012428 There were days..
>>698012604
Dead & Company are blowing it up! Wasn't sure what to think at first but Mayer might have been the only one today who could pick up where Jerry left off. That is saying a lot
>>698022413
Bassist are great when they help the lead sound even better then he already does, and if you listen to guitar outside of metal Or rock, what's the point in listening
>>698021254
i played violin in hs and had a few friends that played trumpet and clarinet in Band class. Can confirm drummers and bassists are laughing stocks
>>698012269
Completely underrated.

>>698012269
bless you. I had to double check the list to make sure he was included. I was about to be real disappoint!
Can't be fucked to read the thread.
My contribution. How'd I do?
>>698022664
I can remember when Mayer was about 16 and playing nothing gigs doing nothing but Stevie Ray Vaughan covers and thinking to myself that he was fucking incredible. Then he released room for squares which I'll freely admit got me tons of pussy being able to play and sing, but still was a total disappointment to me. On that album city love and neon are the only songs worth a damn.
>>698000809
sweet looking 6-string bass. I heard those are hard to play.
I think you guys are forgetting someone.
>>697999396
Starts thread about guitarists...posts a bassist. Bass is for people too stupid or lazy to learn guitar.
>>698023149
I just remember him from the Chappelle Show. No question, he's getting more hippie pussy now than you can shake a stick at. Can't deny his talent
>>698023316
duh, as if she even needs to be listed. Its already known
>>698000942
this looks 3d AF
ahh the never-ending stereotyping of bass players continues. I swear this shit is as old as music itself. i feel sorry for these people, they will never truly appreciate music...

No fucking joke there dude. He got Jessica Simpson in her dukes of Hazzard years and now gets any trim he wants. I'd give my left nut to have half his talent and a quarter of the pussy he gets
How could you forget Ian Anderson of Jefro Toll.
>>698022880
Is there a point in not being metalfag, altho modern metal talent is a needle in the haystack, it's the genre that produces some guitar skills that once found are only rivaled by guitar hero 3 zeus

Billy Sheehan bitches!
>>698023811
The electric flute, a ballsy version of the guitar to learn indeed, I wish my bassist friend could understand how hard the electric flute was to play in comparison
>>698024164
And easily one of the most purely emotive through his music. The solo for Comfortably Numb can bring tears to my eyes in the right mood. Guys like him, Clapton, SRV. Those guys make the guitar sing.
Guthrie Govan and Shawn Lane are the two guitarists to have blown my world completely over their versatility and also masterful, yet tasteful, shredding and improvising.
