God Tier Guitarists
>>705005112
Bassists?
>>705005112
he plays bass you retard
Alex lifeson is the guitar genius of rush
>>705005668
100% true. Regardless though, Geddy lee is also one of the best bassists out there too.
dis one
>>705006072
he has no teef lol
>>705006072
overrated
and i say that even as a long time rhcp fan (not anymore though)
>>705006440
i've never been rhcp fan, but frusciante counts to the best. sorry to say. the licks he plays, the stuff he writes.. he's definitely godtier!
>>705006608
then you haven't heard a lot of good guitar players yet. It's stupid to assume he's one of the best just because others have said so. Him appearing in a lot of lists doesn't mean shit.
Omar-Rodriguez Lopez.
>>705006072
Massively over rated, not even close to pic realted
>>705005112
Jesus, /b/ is like that movie Goundhog Day. Same shit, day after day after day.
In this case, seems every time we have a guitarist thread, anons feel they have to start it with a pic of Geddy Lee.
Bow before the master.
you plebs dont know about god?

Faggot, God is Steve Vai and the Titan is Satch, Malmsteen is like the guy who founded Scientology next to them
>>705008729
fast does NOT equal "Good" or "Best"
The only answer
>>705008913
>implying technical skill is meaningless
Van Halen was regarded as the best until Li came along, then the baton was passed. Where can we go from here?
SANTANA is the best
>>705008913
Most commonly said by slow/non guitarist.
>>705006072
best as far as song writing, frusciante wins.
>>705005668
It's called a bass GUITAR, nimrod.
My personal fave.
>>705009092
Clearly your musical taste is garbage if that's what equate to being "the best."
Moving on.
>>705005112
Tim Collins
>>705006608
No he isn't, his phrasing sounds like what a 15 year old that has been playing for 4 years would come up with. Playing incoherent patterns faster than you're actually able to for a few seconds leading into an awkward bend drowned in wah effects does not make a guitar player god tier.
>>705009348
Kek'd, get out, and never come back
>>705009348
This had been covered. Try to keep up.
any rage fans?
Jason Becker
>>705009649
Tom is pretty sweet. Not sure I'd say he ranks amongst the best, but certainly one of the most distinctive.
>>705009391
His goes to 11.
>>705009112
He may be good but his music is faggoty and gay. Also, it sounds like shit.
Steve Vai is a pretty cool guy.

Tosin abasi

>>705006608
He's not even close. He's fine, competent. He's average for someone who has played for that many years.
>>705005809

Lenny is better than the entirety of Frusciante's work.
>>705011222
That is because he is a god.

>>705011499
overrated as fuck
>>705011499
>Old =/= God
It's like with the Beatles, just because they helped shape what music is now doesn't mean they can compete with what it's like now.
hail to the fucking chief
>>705011668
just remember kids if you want your music to become absolute shit, go do a bunch of drugs in india and suck as much dick as you can
>>705005112
I lol'd
>>705011728
my man
>>705011222
you're right, he's a nigger
Lets ask a real question, Van Halen or Van Hagar
>>705011728
He's a phenomenal musician, I don't know of any others as competent as he is in so many different disciplines and also control every aspect of the overall sound as much as he does. I dislike how much genius is thrown around these days, but he clearly just fundamentally understands music
>>705012048
A nigger who could fingerbang your gf so good she'd look at you like a teacher waiting for the correct answer impatiently every time you fumbled your way through it
>>705011668
Do you really think the sole reason for that guy posting Jimmy Page is because he's an old musician?
you faggots dont even know
>>705012329
Considering how he stacks up to modern guitarists who are pushing boundaries on technical ability, I'd have to think so. Otherwise he just doesn't know shit about modern guitarists. Page is fine, he's just not standout anymore. If you had no idea who he was his music would sound generic.
>>705007450
>>705007930
>>705009207
>>705010598
There's still hope in this cesspool
>>705012474
Technical ability doesn't mean anything if you don't have the feeling behind the notes.

low tier bait
>>705007014
How many lists have you appeared on?
Don't get defensive; I'm just looking for a number
>>705013549
Becker is the kind of musician that only comes along every ~150 years.
>>705013040
besides bucket head, no really buckethead kills it on bass
>>705013699
Nuno is fantastic.
>>705012860
>protip you cant
Shawn Lane.
>>705009649
My absolute favorite. He has absolutely reinvented how guitar is played.
>>705014030
Nuno has the funkiest groove of any shredder eva!
So many good ones. Always liked zakk Wilde and slash. Personal preferences
All the reasonably big names are already posted, so time for some unknown ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGYzF8o_r-U&t=34m47s
>>705014208
he shouldn't be on the list
>>705005112
Ringo Starr. You fucking Faggot.
>>705014504
fuck the Beatles
Rusty Cooley.
>>705014430
I'd destroy that slut at Guitar Hero.
Name the one band with 4 guitarists in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists...???
>>705014480
the fuck you talking about, morello belongs on the list more than half the guitarists here
>>705009649
Tom Morello's Style is easy as fuck to play.
The fact he managed to use the sounds you get from smashing the strings and turned them into coherent riffs it's impressive to.
Wouldn't clasify him God-Tier but very unique
>>705012860
>lipsnot
>>705014761
Don't know about half. Probably more around 15%
>>705012630
>Technical ability doesn't mean anything if you don't have the feeling behind the notes.
Kinda like that guy from Dragonforce. Fancy playing, but dull as fuck.
Frank Zappa, Prince, SRV, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, Bradley Nowell & Fruscianti
>>705012630
This.
Page does not practice, he lets the music flow his way, and the masterpieces that were stairway to heaven, Immigrant song and even black dog weren't written by a young kid who studied music in the internet, but by someone who picked up a guitar a let his fingers do their thing
Objectively, the greatest guitar player of all time is Allan Holdsworth.
Subjectively, it's Bill Steer.
>>705014950
Exactly.
>>705014950
The more technically proficient I become, the less I want to play technically proficient stuff.
I'm still fascinated at the flowing smooth nature of blues style playing. Guthrie Govan, Joe Bonamassa, SRV, Shawn Lanes fretless playing...
It's just ethereal how some people can phrase impulsively. I'm getting better at it slowly.
>>705015016
>John Mayer
no. just no.
>unironically posting guitarists who are not Joe Satriani
Is this whole thread b8?

>>705015182
No, he's not. John Mayer isn't god-tier

again...no.

Good try.
>>705011709
Shoot the nigger!
>>705015353
Mayer is one of the most tasteful modern guitar players. It's semi difficult to find his noteable work on youtube though.
>>705015484
My Lord
>>705015272
I could care less if he was a faggot or not (hes not) but his playing isnt god-tier...certainly not nearly as good as Derek Trucks for example.
The plebs like him because hes a crooner and plays guitar too...but hes not that good.
>>705015404
Did you see the video where he is sucking huge volumes of Black Cock?
No? Well, there should be one, since he's the lamest ever. It's like he was weaned on Black Cock by his momma.
>>705010924
Anon already said no bassists, idiot.
>>705015666
In the English language the word "tasteful" is not synonymous with "god-tier".

Randy Rhoads

I feel genuinely embarrassed for you.

While I don't think Angus Young is top-tier in guitar skills, he's a god damn beloved icon for sure. He even said that he thinks his brother Malcolm is better than him.
>>705015696
"Couldn't." As in "Could Not Care Less"
Fucking English is your second language, eh?
>>705015766
But it is in the context of music.
>>705014649
A seriously underrated guitarist, in my opinion.
>>705015800
He is the sole reason why I started to learn guitar... Crazy Train was what started a dream.
Slash, Nikki six god tier in my opinion honourable mentions Richie sambora and Bret Michaels love them both but I don't think many would give them god tier status.
>>705011709
Lil' wayne triggers the fuck out of me
Just like Nick Jonas.
He bought the most expensive guitar he could find and proceded to toture them to no extent.
I mean, this guys sound like a 15 year old with his first guitar, they way they hold them, the way they pick, it's just, DISGUSTING
>>705015941
What planet are you from? No, it fucking doesn't because "taste" is a subjective concept.
Misha Mansoor, Mark Holcomb, Jake Bowen, Nolly Getgood, Synyster Gates, Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes, Derya Nagle and Joaquin Ardiles.
I can keep going
>>705016069
Niki Six plays bass you R Tard
>>705010703
>>705009055
>>705007450
I guess these anons are the only ones listening to good music.
Steve Lukather is an all time favorite of mine in the Rock genre.
Pat Metheny and Pat Martino on jazz.
>>705016111
And clearly my taste is objectively better than yours.
>>705016078
Lil' Wayne also sucks cock, but White Cock is his preference. You can see it by the way he holds the guitar - it's like he's saying "Yaaas, Massssa, I gon' suck you guuuuud tonight..."
Seriously. You guys don't see that?
>>705016176
The good music concept is completely subjective, but you have to recognize these men's skill.
>>705016133
I never actually appreciated that, but that's for calling me out on that.
>>705015868
nice- trying to compensate for the reality that you picked a second rate guitarist as your "fave"
Seriously- pick his best solo and lets compare it to BB KIng, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks or any of the other guitarist mentioned in the thread and lets take a vote...
>>705016252
OK. Prove it. Point out the two guitarists I've posted in this thread.
>>705016351
Mayer isn't even in my top 30. I just know talent when I hear it.
Brother Wayne. Get Hip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwTGSfeUXuU
>>705015747
your logic is sound, I'm impressed
>>705016306
He co founded Motley Crue and Founded Sixx: Am
>>705015929
yup you got me on a typo- guess that proves Mayer is a great guitarist.
you are literally cringe worthy
My personal fav
>>705016378
I've proven it simply by knowing that Mayer is a god tier guitarist, and you believe the opposite. I can't possibly pick out your posts based on one opinion and you know it.
>>705015514
Underrated post.
What about Judas Priest. That's a God Tier band.
>>705011589
fuck off!
>>705009055
I'm afraid this guy is right.
Been playing guitar for 25 years, I make my living teaching guitar in an academy.
Maybe (and I say maybe) I've seen other alive guitarists who are comparable to Govan in term of technical prowess, but no one of them with his out of this world phrasing taste and inhuman versatility.
Gone but not forgotten.
>>705016921
This this and this to the power of this
>>705012048

Guthrie is a very interesting speaker as well.

FUCK YESDD
Fine /b/ros hear my request. This is a reverse NYPA. I have a friend who I've known from childhood trying to make it big in this world. Trying to live out his dream of being a respected musician. I implore you to give his music a listen. I implore you to give him a chance at success.
Tl;dr I got a bro who rocks at the guitar trying to make a career out of it
Pic very related
Travis bowman music
Ville Friman, Insomnium.
Not super technical but his riffs are hard to ignore.
>>705014413
most overrated guitarist/writer/performer EVER!!!!
I'm glad he's dead so he can't produce any more camel shit music. I piss on his grave and fuck Moon Unit
>>705017089
agree. and he has no "first of the class" syndrome, like all giants.
>>705016573
So you can't prove it...good to know. How about this. I posted these two:
>>705008602
A guitarist who Hendrix is quoted as saying he wished could play as well as, and invented the genre of noise rock
>>705008771
A guitarist that Robert Fripp paid to teach him how to play guitar.
Now, remind me again what Mayer has done to contribute to music so as to be deserving (at least in your eyes) of the label of god-tier.
Slash enuff said. Eddie vanhalen Jimmy Hendricks bb king
>>705005112

Bass guitar. Bass. Guitar. Geddy Lee plays the bass guitar. Do you not see the word guitar?
The bass guitar is a stringed instrument played primarily with the fingers or thumb, by plucking, slapping, popping, strumming, tapping, thumping, or picking with a plectrum, often known as a pick.
>>705005112
