Top 3 Greatest Guitarist Ever

[Richard Cranium]

I don't know if he's been mentioned or not, but I always thought that Lindsey Buckingham was underrated.

 

[Budnicks]

IMO opinion the top three would include Keith Richards of the stones followed up by Muddy waters, Clapton and geez where do you stop! I agree with you guys so much talent.. !

another that liked Muddy Waters

Nice trio - 1978

I can't believe it....seven pages and not a single mention of Hank Marvin......





....and of course how could we forget Pete Ham from Badfinger ...... his slide guitar was outstanding (apparently over-dubbed by George Harrison)

 

[kiwigtx]

...and if any more proof of Prince's prowess on the strings is needed....watch this one towards the end....



It's almost like Prince is taunting Tom Petty there.

I agree "the Artist" plays a mean guitar but I'm disappointed that he chose to NOT use it in 99% of his recorded material.

Seems like a waste.

I understand he sold a lot of records, but still.

He played session on many other artist's albums.

Prince's talent was like an iceberg.....you only really saw 10% of his work.....the rest was done behind the scenes.

Prince sure rocked that Telecaster! I’m impressed!

So who is going to tally up the winner? I will bet that it is going to be Eddie Van Halen. Just from reading all the posts over the past month or so, it seems like his name came up alot...

There is little chance of Eddie Van Halen tallying up the winner here..........first of I am not sure he is a member here, and secondly....he's dead.

Prince had talent, but Everytime I heard one of his songs come on the radio, I turned the station.

Harrison’s son looks just like him, but if you watch him, all he does is hold the guitar and strum it, he doesn’t play it.

David Gilmore.

The only guy ballsy enough to play a Fender Strat at the "Les Paul" lifetime achievement show.
