I was obsessed with him all the way through high school, so he will probably always be my favorite guitarist. I became such a better guitarist learning all of the untitled parts on Niandra Lades. That or David Gilmour.

I honestly don't understand whats so hot about Allman...Clapton praised him, i've never heard anything bad about him...but I never have heard much in the way of interesting guitarwork in the Allman Brothers discog....explain/show me the way....
anyway I like Fripp, Hendrix, McLaughlin, Fahey, Wes Montgomery, and Jan Akkerman

The only true answer for a finger-style guitarist. The Knopf is my hero

Sonny Landreth is an unappreciated guitarist

this guy and Steve Howe are probably the main dudes inspiring me to keep playing

Duane's awesome as well, but I haven't heard a lot of him yet, except on Layla and At Fillmore East

My top five:

Thurston Moore
J. Mascis
Ace Frehely
Kk Downing
Glen Tipton

My favorites are J Mascis and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

[Based] Steve Hackett

Matt Pike
Frank Zappa
Al Di Meola
Eric Clapton
Robert Fripp

...

to this day I still can't figure out how Pike makes some of the sounds in his solos on Holy Mountain

what a madman

Dean Ween
Mark Knopfler
Joe Jack Talcum

My top 10
Jerry Garcia
Santana
Duane Allman

If you're serious (and not just trolling because Allman is considered one of the greatest of all time), you've got to consider a couple of things about him.

He was a fucking kid when he did everything he did. He started as a session musician at age 21, in 1967, but he didn't really start recording heavily until 1969, when he was 22. He was dead just two years later, in 1971, at age 24. The Allman Brothers Band recorded their albums with him over an incredibly short timespan, and his output over that time, both with them and as a studio musician, was massive. The same time he was recording with the Allman Brothers, he was hanging with Clapton and recording Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.

He was only recording for an incredibly short time, but the little bit that he did in that time was huge.

His guitar work was also hugely innovative for its time. Sure, we're saturated with slide work and with jam bands now, but you've got to think about the years 69-71, when the Allman Brothers hit it big. This was some crazy shit. This is the same time when albums like Abbey Road were coming out. The Allman Brothers were doing something nobody else was really doing at that time, and Duane's guitar work was really at the front of that.

Here's a video to consider: Whippin Post, from 1970. He was fucking 23 at the time. (Gregg, on vox and keys, was only 21.) Guys like Clapton praise him because, in 1970, nobody was doing shit like this. You had great blues-inspired guitarists (like Clapton), and you had innovative rock star guitarists (like Hendrix), but Duance really set the stage for crazy elaborate jams.

To me, this video is fucking insane. He and his brother were 23 and 21. They were fucking kids.

Adam Jones
Kirk Hammet
Tony Iommi
Zakk Wylde
John Frusciante
Jimmy Page
David Gilmour
Eddie Van Halen

>mangum for stamina
what do you mean?

>iommi

You and I are incredibly close. I'd replace Fripp with John McLaughlin, but other than that you're solid.

Ah shit I forgot Ry Cooder.

Manuel Göttsching
Steve Hillage

great post
>tfw you're the age Duane was when he died and you can't play shit

Fred Frith
Keith Rowe
Sonny Sharrock

It gets worse, bro. In a couple of years, this video will still exist. And you'll be 25, looking back and thinking
>what the fuck was i doing when i was his age?

What a fucking ugly goober.

and George Harrison. Oh, and Buzzo. Duh.

Frank Zappa
Robert Fripp
Jimmy Page

Weird but I like it. Let's jam.

>Zakk Wylde
>Kirk Hammett
worst of thread

...but he's not even the best guitarist in his own band.

How many fucking dads post on Sup Forums?

Are you asking if people here have kids, or are you trying to make a jab at dad-rock?

Steve Howe
Pat Metheny
Mike Oldfield
Dave Gregory
Steven Wilson

Tony Iommi was the reason I picked up a guitar, but Wino is why I really learned how to play

Came here to post this. Objectively the single best guitar player there ever was.

i'm not like an expert of the instrument but I've heard a lot of guitar-based bands and he's probably my favorite out of all of them

even the stuff he did in the chair has to make him one of the best musicians of the past 100 years

youtube.com/watch?v=J7MEDrzcPbM

He literally is/was the modern equivalent of Paganini/Bach, etc.

correct

I don't understand how so many people worship Frusciante. His phrasing is very bland and his technique is extremely sloppy. Probably the actual most overrated guitarist I know of.

Tony Iommi
Buzzo
Frank Zappa
Rafael Bittencourt
Larry LaLonde
Page Hamilton
those are my bbys

>technique is extremely sloppy
music is not guitar hero dude. the emotional intensity of his music is exceptional to me, especially considering how wide his range of style is

I never implied music was like Guitar Hero, but all musicians should ideally strive to improve their technique. That seems like common sense and it's not even limited to music, but all disciplines.

...

I nominate Vai for greatest cheekbones.

but hes the cutest

...

Dickey Betts > Duane Allman

...

I've been playing banjo for a year, and I can play Cripple Creek at roughly one 80th of the actual tempo.
IKTFB

Pete Cosey

...

David Gilmour
J Mascis
Billy Corgan
Kim Thayil
Jerry Cantrell
Dave Mustaine
Thurston Moore & Lee Ronaldo
Tony Iommi
George Harrison
Steve Turner

My top ten favourites would probably be, in no particular order

Ritchie Blackmore
Gary Moore
Steve Lukather
Eddie Van Halen
Brian May
Ty Tabor
Eric Johnson
Frank Marino
Paul Gilbert
John Norum

Ry Cooder

Billy Corgan
Johnny Marr
Doug Martsch
Tony Iommi
Peter Buck
Ace Frehley
Rivers Cuomo
Keith Richards
Johnny Ramone
Stephen Malkmus

the only correct answer

absolutely A+ taste my man I love you

only heard his shit with Miles Davis but he's got a pretty unique style
