Bored much??

You try being trapped in the house for days taking care of a sick and fairly foul tempered Theresa. ;p

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

[OneJoeZee]

Stan Marsh

 

[Dunckel]

Two favorites of mine would be Eric Clapton or Slash.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

They're good but I really don't like any of them.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Are we basing this on these 4 songs, or these 4 artists entire collection, or are we allowed to think of other people? Need rules to accompany the poll.

Jeff

 

[Kai]

You tool! You forgot Angus Young and Joe Perry (AC/DC and Aerosmith respectively for those too dim to understand)

 

[GotTurbos?]

I enjoy Eric Johnson's playing the most, though I think its difficult to decide who is the "best" guitarist.

 

[gtsfirefighter]

I voted Vai in the poll. He's bad ass.

My favorite though is Ace Frehley. Mock him all you want, the man could tear up a Les Paul and was very creative.

 

[Supracentral]

Ace was a hell of a guitarist. There are tons of underrated guys out there.

Look at Alex Lifeston from Rush, that man can seriously make a guitar sing.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

They're all guitar wankers.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

and what the hell is this? Satriana

 

[Supracentral]

LOL! Wow, I really missed on that spelling bee.

I'll fix it. ROFL

You are very right. You always hear how good Neal Peart is or how ugly Geddy Lee is but never a word about Alex. Shame, he's damn good too.

YYZ FTMFW!!!!

 

[Jeff Lange]

Nobody mentioned Mark Knopfler.

 

[Loki]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Is awesome.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Kim Thayil.

Absolutely. Rush needed something awesome, because Geddy Lee's voice could DRIVE the mice away as sure as the Pied Piper would LEAD them away. His voice is the only reason I can't listen to Rush for very long.

I'd give a nod to Slash. His guitar solos in November Rain alone were great, let alone the rest of the GnR stash that came before then. I'd like to see Slash do some solo guitar work. No lyrics, no BS, just music.

I like Satriani's talent, but not his style. It just doesn't strike me.

On the topic of "guitar gods", I think it was pretty disgraceful a few years ago to see, I believe it was an issue of "Rolling Stone", where they were doing a list of this type, among other greats like Hendrix and Clapton, HIGH up on the list was Jack White from The White Stripes! I'm sorry, but the guy doesn't even deserve to kiss the ground that Hendrix walked on.
