Shut the fuck up you fucking retarded faggot, go back listening to trannycore and let people post whatever the fuck they want to

>J Mascis
>Jerry Cantrell
>Matthias "IA" Eklundh
>Josh Homme
>Buzz Osborne

That's fair. Thanks for the response
Post your top five then. I'm just interested in what people's favorite guitarists are. Don't understand why you don't like Di Meola though

>let people post whatever the fuck they want to

Hey, im not stopping you from posting. In fact im just following your own guidelines to the thread.
Do you expect people to tell you how awesome and amazing you are for knowing who Jimmy page is?

Interesting top five. Eklundh and Buzz are great

>Post your top five then
Please tell me how awesome and patrician my taste in guitar players are, youve probably never heard of them
Eric Claption
Brian May
Slash
BB King
David Gilmore

I'm not OP you fag, at least this thing is about music unlike half of the threads on Yas Forums, stop being a pretentious faggot

>Chuck Schuldiner
>Andre Olbrich
>Paul Masvidal
>Dave Murray
>John Petrucci

>post in a thread asking to be judged
>dont like when people judge you

>Do you expect people to tell you how awesome and amazing you are for knowing who Jimmy page is?
What's your problem? It's an honest opinion that Page is one of my favorites. Whether it's a popular choice or not doesn't matter.
They are all great guitarists. I get that you're trying to be sarcastic but it's still a good top 5.

>I get that you're trying to be sarcastic but it's still a good top 5.
Which is exactly why this thread is fucking garbage you retard.

Why are you seething like a little twink? OP just asked you a simple question and instead of answering it like a normal human being you started ranting about some retarded things, fuck off

Bro we understand you know the band Deftones literally the most talked metal band on this board you really destroyed those plebs with your epic taste now fuck off

Because the guitarists are popular and well known? Is that the point?

>Iommi
>Glen Tipton
>Blackmore
>Mustaine
>Andy Larocque

That's some good choices. I think my favorite of those is Malkmus

>Brian Robertson
>Brian May
>Lindsey Buckingham
>Steve Morse
>Gary Moore

I like a LOT of players, but they're the ones I listen to the most regularly. And, i like guys like Ian Anderson, for their acoustic playing, or Paul Simon. Or Petrucci, for his melodic sense. And Alex Lifeson.

Larocque is patrician

Not sure if you've heard of him but you should check out John Williams if you haven't already. His classical guitar playing is phenomenal

Heard of him, but don't dive deep on him. LOVE classical guitar though. These days I've been getting into a lot of trad folk, like Tony McManus.

I'm going to have to check him out. Thanks for the rec user

Tony is an easy one - the guy is great. Enjoy!

BTW, this one is my current favorite:

Thanks again!

>Buckethead
>Yngwie Malmsteen
>Al Di Meola
>John Fahey
>Herman Li/Sam Totman

Wow. That's wonderful. I will definitely listen to more
John Fahey is a great choice.

Robert Fripp
Eric Clapcheeks
Alex Lifeson
Larry Lalonde
Dimebag Darrell

>Di Meola
Based

Tony Iommi
Bruce Kulick
George Lynch
Norman Blake
Ace Frehley
Fight me, faggots

Stephen’s tone and riff writing are incredible. A perfect example of someone who’s not super technical but has great feel

>Page Hamilton
>Matt Talbott / Tim Lash
>Ian MacKaye / Guy Picciotto
>Jeremy Enigk / Dan Hoerner
>Justin Trosper

Tommy Emmanuel is also one of my favorites, the guy is fucking amazing

>hendrix
>stevie ray vaughan
>django reinhardt
>frank zappa
>buckethead

Keiji Haino
Fred Frith
Derek Bailey
Glenn Branca
Keith Rowe

>brian may
>mustaine
>buckethead
>hendrix
>mark knopfler

Sorry to disappoint the hipsters in the house with my non obscure choices but

>Tony Iommi (pure classic, definitive sound of heavy metal, only contrarians will deny him)
>Ace Frehley (one of the swaggiest players ever, no virtuoso, but pure rock attitude, perfect balance of devil may care sloppiness, bendy swag, and melodic finesse)
>Randy Rhoads (any solo from the first two Ozzy records makes my balls tingle to this day, nuff said)
>Eddie Van Halen (no explanation needed)
>Dimebag Darrell (while the overall style of Pantera is not generally my favorite in metal, I love the shit out of Dimebags playing and his solos, he had the technical chops of any shredder but kept the soul and flavor off a 70's guitarist, never becoming too cold or clinical, something special for 90's metal and a true defender of the faith)

Based fellow KISSfag. Kulick is great in his own right. And I too love George Lynch, he is an animal.

John McLaughlin
John Butler
Jonny Greenwood
Eric Johnson
John Frusciante

dangerously based. Love the Al Di Meola

Ron Jarzombek
Dave Mustaine
Coling Marston (bass but he plays a Warr guitar so fuck it)
Dave DiSanto
Chuck Schuldiner

Bonus Bassist:
Alex Webster

Colin* not coling

Jason Becker
Jeff Baxter
Gary Moore
Alex Lifeson
Neil Young

Dave Mustaine
Matt Heafy
Chuck Schuldiner
Tommy Emmanuel
Ewan Dobson from YouTube lmao

good to see Mustaine popping up so much. he might be a cunt but god damn can he fucking riff

>Ewan Dobson
I like him, too. Time 2 is a banger, but his other stuff is also quite nice.

>Shields
>Page
>Homme
>Kim Salmon
>Mitch McDonald from a local band called the Love Junkies who really need to make more music ASAP

kurt cobain
thurston moore
brian may
buzz osborne
jimi hendrix

Buzz is underrated.

>popular bad
>obscure good
You don't listen to music, you just wear it on t shirts

Gonna go for some atypical choices.
I still love a lot of the classics, but for variety
I used to be real big into solo guitarists and shredders and all that and I still enjoy but I've found I really enjoy the less lead-stuff a lot more.

>Isaac Brock
Modest Mouse
is one of my favorites for example.
2:45
4:40
the fucking ENERGY is ridiculous in both.

>Jesse Lacey
Brand New
youtu.be/hW9NuFGWEP8?t=758
Another example, not a very accomplished guitarist but something about the energy in how he plays comes out so much stronger to me than a lot of the notes he plays.
Billy corgan isn't a favorite but similar reasoning from him. Mayonaise is amazing though.

>Kaoru/Die
Dir en Grey
youtu.be/oaK_mg4Y0Mk?t=178
I just feel like there's so much more to their playing that they hold back, they can go absolutely wild but they still do what's best for the song and don't wank.

>Jenn / S
Carissa's Wierd
youtube.com/watch?v=40fKV1Wp9Aw
She has a really weirdly unique lofi sound, this is late 90's early 00's output
I'm just really impressed by the genuine feel of her music.
It's sloppy but I adore it.
It just feels so raw and completely her own style.
I can't name another guitarist who sounds like this and it's not a gimmick style of playing or anyhting. Just hers. I think that's an extremely special and important quality

>Daniel Gildenlow
Pain of Salvation
youtube.com/watch?v=ragU6RvZNy4
4:00 just did some of the catchiest odd time signature stuff.
I just think that kind of stuff is cool when it's done well.
And the guitar tones near the end at 5:00
Amazing ringing distortion on a pretty clean guitar.
Just such a comforting guitarist.

Lindsey's undderrated, his energy when he plays live is beautiful.

great choices

john petrucci may wank all the time but when he does it right, he does it really damn right. He's made some way beautiful melodies

Ritchie Blackmore
'80s Gary Moore
Steve Lukather
Paul Gilbert
Eric Johnson

Honourable mentions to Michael Schenker, George Lynch, John Norum and Ronni Le Tekro.

I'm not gonna argue with anyone who likes Lynch.

>Robert Fripp (probably biased since King Crimson is my favourite band, but damn fripp could play)
>David Pajo (love the guitar sound as Aeriel M)
>Ricky Wilson (something really catchy about his surf-rock sounding guitar, The B52's weren't the same after his death)
>Robert Stanley (for an electric guitarist in a folk-rock band he really stood out in live performances, his guitar at the end of the live version of Lumières De Vie brings me to tears)
>John McLaughlin (literal god)
