So Sup Forums, who is the greatest guitarist ever, and why is it Mark Knopfler?

Do you seriously believe this? Are you very clueless or are you just *that* big of a pleb?

How to immediately spot a pleb: the opinion.

The greatest guitarist ever is probably some octogenarian in Barcelona that no one has ever heard of

lol

is that randy rhoads?

You act like John Anthony Motherfucking Frusciante isn't the best guitarist of our generation.

It's actually Robert Fripp

I've seen some silly opinion on Sup Forums but this is one of the silliest. Frusciante is talented but he is not even close to being the best or one of the best--he plays with a pick, for fucks sake. That's like saying that Nick Mason is the greatest drummer of his generation.

Right, well what's your opinion on it mate?

I don't know who I'd call the best. Excluding jazz and classical guitarists, the best guitarists that come to mind for me are Hackett, Knopfler, and Howe.

John mayer

No one played with as much ferocity, soul, delicacy, and taste as Jason Becker.

This
I actually don't like King Crimson much but he's a phenomenal guitarist and I love his playing on Heroes and Scary Monsters.

Forgot to ask this before mate, but whats a pick got to do with anything?

No, Mick Ronson

Maybe not #1, but he's definitely up there. Hugely talented musician all around though.
