Best LIVING guitarists

[MixTape]

So who do you guys think is the best guitarist atm?
IMO it's john frusciante. He puts his soul in his music. And he's very creative.

Joe Satriani?

Additionally I like James Iha's play as well as Frusciante's.

Hard to pick one but since someone already mentioned Michael Angelo Batio, I'd go for Paul Gilbert (RacerX / Mr. Big) simply because he's an underrated great guitarist.

In b4 Yngwie Malmsteen and Slash. (Slash is good but seriously, you can find better guitar players. And Malmsteen is just a complete self-absorbed douchebag).

Too bad all her/his videos doesn't show his/her face.

Too bad all her/his videos doesn't show his/her face.

It's a girl. Look at those smooth legs, that dainty frame, listen to her sweet voice and tell me that's a guy. Hiding her face only serves to introduce an element of mystery—it keeps everyone watching to catch the unveiling.
And even if it were a trap, I'd still hit it.

I'd go with Gilbert as well. :>

thats him improvising a bit
PETRUCCI FOR PRESIDENT \m/

The girl knows how to play the crowd. Decent bass player but calling her great (IMO) is almost an insult to the real legends.

Andy McKee

Andy Mckee is no doubt amazing. I love "Ebon Coast" by him and Don Ross.


Personally I'd say the best living guitarist goes to Don Felder.

Kostas Karamitroudis (Gus G).

I know he's not the whole crazy solo guy.
But I believe he gives me the same chills as a ripping solo would for you.

Dallas Green ladies and gentleman.

I couldn't appreciate the bass because of the annoying music.

Well it depends on what type of guitarist you are talking about... interms of a show guitarist probably Steve Vai and Joe Satriani with Yngwie Malmsteen a close third. In terms of an actual Band guitarist rather an a showman I would probably go with John Petrucci simply because you never hear a bad guitar song that he plays in and especialy with Dream theatre and Liquid Tension he works very well with the keyboard is to create songs that with 99% of other guitarists you would need atleast 2 to pull off.

The best living guitarists are dead. Sorry folks. [/thread]

You pegged my picks, I grew up listening to Vai, Malmsteen and Satriani back in the 80's.

Dream Theater is good stuff.
