"Passed this written on a chalkboard today... "Artists paint on canvas but musicians paint on silence" That's how you feel when you hear great music "Wow,  Statements like that take me back to the sixties, when I was, shall I say, in my hayday. yea I know where your coming from. Pease.  | |||
"Being the age I am, I love my music. my favourite bands are from many years ago, i.e, Pink floyde, Yes, and so many more, but tonight after a few good drinks today, I have came home, and put some music on, And have got myself lost into David Gilmore, live in Gdanks, I challenge any one to come up with a better guitarist than David Gilmore. "My favorite is Jeff Healey.... | |||

"Gary Moore has to be up there "Bunkie. well said mate, | |||

"Jimmy page Angus young but best of all Richie Blackmore-- especially solo in Highway Star!" Richie Blackmore was a great Guitarist, His best time was with Rainbow, in my opinion, But as I said, Gilmore is still the best. | |||

Blues-rock and jazz."Ok, yes I agree he was a great guitarist, but I still think there is no one who can make thr guitar talk like david, but we wil have t agre to disagree on this. | |||
"Carlos Santana " Yes brilliant. but not as good. | |||

"As much as I think David Gilmour is a very talented guitarist, definitely one of the best, there's far better out there. Page, Clapton, Peter Green, John Fogerty, BB King, Robert Johnson. Just my opinion of course. | |||

"My favourites are Nils Longren, Joe Walsh, Mark Knofler and Jeff Beck " Hey, I realise I have opened a can of worms here, and that every one has there own favourites, so I think I should shut up now, and agree to disagree with you all, there are some brilliant guitarists out there,but in the end, PINK FLOYD rule, and DAVID GILMORE is the best. and as its my post, I have the last word. LOL. Good night and enjoy your music. | |||

"Has to be without doubt: Doyle Bramhall ll this guy is simply amazing, he is wearing the open colour black top in this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH2nTo_c8qw and don't forget the great "snowy white" & "Andy Fairweather Low" who play small Scottish venues often, such as backstage at the green (Kinross) when they are not touring with the greats such as Roger waters, Clapton, Elton John etc Saw David Gilmour a few times and yes he is good, but he is also getting old, last time I saw him was at the O2 when he was invited to appear with Roger waters (The Wall)" Yea I know what you mean about getting old, lol. and yea there are so many great guitarists out there its hard to pick the best. | |||

"George Formby "You leaning on that lamppost again.?. | |||

"Sorry mate as good as he is I can think of a few better guitarist than Dave Gilmour. Slash, James hetfeild, Eric Clapton to name a few. Although his guitar work may sound awesome it's not exactly complicated or hard to play. I've got a few friends that started out playing guitar by learning Floyd riffs before progressing onto other things. | |||
"My favourites are Nils Longren, Joe Walsh, Mark Knofler and Jeff Beck " Not a fan of any of them but spot on all amazing guitarists. | |||

"Floyd is sublime but is more the about the sound and song construction like Hendrix who still has one of the best performances playing little wing live. Then there's the ones who technically are amazing like Joe Satraini and Andres Segovia. | |||

"Gary Moore has to be up there "As do Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Mike McCreadie? "The best" is completely subjective though. | |||

"Some fantastic bands and guitarists mentioned in this thread, my opinion is good music is good music and you can't really have a "best", depends on your mood ect, one I haven't seen mentioned though is Lyndsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, been some great stuff from him over the years " | |||
"Some fantastic bands and guitarists mentioned in this thread, my opinion is good music is good music and you can't really have a "best", depends on your mood ect, one I haven't seen mentioned though is Lyndsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, been some great stuff from him over the years " Not only is he a great guitarist, he also knows how to rock and win over an audience, Fleetwood Mac today are still showing young bands how it is done and how to get whole stadiums on their feet . Unlike some bands where you are not permitted to stand, take photographs or indeed take your mobile phone out your pocket (cough - the eagles) | |||

"Love Gilmour, page etc, but Frank Zappa edges it for me." Zappa was a perfectionist in all his work | |||

"OK I'm a drummer and have played with some amazing axe men over the years. Same with drummers, too many look at rock or metal and forget other genres like Prog or jazz. As for guitarists Used to always say the bet I've see it heard was Gary Moore, man played rock, jazz, fusion, blues. However last time I saw him he had become boring and was churning out the same shit. Virtuoso guitarists like Steve Vai, Joe Satriana are highly rated Slash, Hammett/Hetfield, Hendrix,Clapton were all over rated. Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Brian May are under rated As much as I like Floyd and David Gilmour sometimes he just doesn't quite do it, other times I hear him play Prince's Purple Rain or see Comfortably Numb live and wet myself Guys like Zack Wylde, Randy Rhodes, Tony Iommi, Billy Gibbons and Angus Young are worthwhile names What. about other genres like Ry Cooder, Django Rheinhard etc So many greats and I haven't covered Page, Blackmore etc So many but the very best is a matter of personal choice. " How can you say Slash and Hetfeild are overrated
If anything I'd say Slash has the recognition he deserves but Hetfeild gets overlooked as he's only rythme. Hammett I agree, he's good at what he does, he's fast and has a good technique but he's not up there with others you mentioned. | |||

And still they keep coming. lol. Brilliant. | |||
" And still they keep coming. lol. Brilliant."One of my fav fab threads yet, when this gets to big you'll need to start the rock singer one | |||
"I do like pink floyed but in my opinion there are better guitarist out there like Steve vai and Joe satrani " Gilmour is my fave guitarist, he's the guy that I like the sound of best, he's still why I play guitar today. I think the most talented is Joe Satriani "on peregrine wings" is just an outstanding tune. | |||
