When you say Keith Richards, well I know him, I (apparently) didn’t know his nickname. Or rather, I’ve probably heard of it but forgot about it.
And thanks for the info on the Bluesbreakers members and whatnot. But yes, when I think of the best players back from the 60’s, I indeed do think of Clapton, Page, Beck, Richards, Hendrix, Zappa, and the rest that you mentioned but I have left out. Which means the only two that were not associated with John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers were Hendrix and Zappa. But of course, not being born until many moons after these players, I could be wrong on what I’m saying.
Obviously, being relatively young (a “teenager” still) I do not have the knowledge of everyone else posting replies in here, so don’t ridicule me for not knowing who keef is. But what band is he in/what genre or style of music does he play?
And also, back to Townshend, I agree that he is one of the better guitarists, I forgot to mention a reply on that earlier.
I read an article on how to play like Dicky Betts in a guitar magazine i picked up the other day. He seemed pretty good from what I read.
John Lennon is cool. I presonally don’t know how great of a guitarist he is though so I can’t really say anything about him. But I do know, stuff about kaki. And although I may have not heard lots of types of genres, I can say that I haven’t heard anything of her style or skill on acoustic ever. But of course, I admit, I’m not that old either. But still.
i agree. if i go to a concert, i want to see what they are capable of talent-wise, and i’d much rather see THEM play instead of a song made more in mind of getting good sales. plus, when great guitarists play onstage and it turns into a jam session, it’s so much sweeter. and although i’ve never heard of half of the guitarists you just mentioned, i do know there’s a great femal acoustic guitarist by the name of Kaki King. Look her up, her music is incredible.
I’m listing the top 15 guitarists with best technical skill i suppose. If you consider “shredding” to be a major attribute, then yes, Malmsteen, Vai, and Satriani would be in the top 15. But if talking more of innovation and originality, the former three would be dropped in my opinion. I personally think some of the better guitarists are not the “shredders” but rather the ones who know much technically, and can put their heart into their own, composed songs.
And yes, I thought about adding Fripp. You really can’t give any of these guitarists an order. They’re all good in their own genres.
