So God Tier he makes guitar sounds with a bass without even playing.

he's not that good... the lyrics and general feel are great, but he's not a god-tier >guitarist

Tom Morello
Joe Satriani
Slash
Herman Li and Sam Totman

when you talk about guitar-playing ability, those guys are legit fucking professionals

Dick Dale is pretty fucking awesome too. He's like a hundred years old and can still play his crazy-ass shit

>God Tier
>Herman Li and Sam Totman
Nigga the fuck you smokin?

Jan Teigen

jack white

>implying Herman Li isn't a god

I disagree with him saying Geddy isn't all that good, but Herman is indeed a god.

Also Steve Vai is pretty good.

Tom Delonge

You think Steve Vai is pretty good but Herman is a god? You need to contact your crack dealer and change your prescription. You're a fucking retard.

Ignoring that op is a trolling fag...

Buckethead niggers. Buckethead

Steve stevens- Billy Idol
Also geddy lee is a bassist you twat

Hendrix

Vai
SRV
John Mayer ( not god-tier but highly underrated in the blues aspect.)
Andy McKee
John Petrucci (spelling?)
Etc...etc...

Just because Hermin Li can play fast and sometimes hit the correct notes does not mean he's god-tier. He can't write a song with a single ounce of emotion let alone a song under 200 bmp. The dude was a quick turn around fad.

Santana

Billy Joe Armstrong

I think you mean Alex Lifeson

Eddy Van Halen

David Gilmore is the man

Forgot about Gilmore. Good call.

are you fucking serious?

>3m20s but the whole thing is great

(OP)
Geddy Lee is a bassist, not a guitarist. He's god-tier, but still a bassist.

this guy

>youtu.be/0jgrCKhxE1s?t=3m20s
technically impressive. musically emotionless

There a thousands of dudes like Herman Li. I've met tons of guitarists that know all the scales, theory, modes etc etc., but that's all they know. They look flashy because they follow scales up and down the fretboard. Maybe to the unknowing fan they look like gods but to another guitarist they are just a flashy guitarist. They are like guys thay say "well in theory this should work" but just because theory says it SHOULD work doesn't always mean it does.

One trick ponies.

and this guy

this guy is a beast

Shit tier

can't pass up Mr. Pete

is this god-tier guitarists, or god-tier music writers?

...

Kerry King is another guy that bugs the shit out me. "Oh, solo time? Hows this sound?" Shitty note here, shitty note there, minor note in a major chord shitty note. It's like his mind set is if he plays it fast enough, it doesn't matter if it is in the correct chord phrasing.

this guy beats em all

>Chuck schuldiner
>Alexi laiho
>Dave mustaine
>Buckethead

Emotion is part of playing. "Anyone" can learn the technique. Very few master the emotion.

Underrated god tier

wrote like 90% of systems songs

this guy

>marty friedman

Emotion is part of being an Olympic athlete. "Anyone" can train to win an Olympic gold medal. Very few master the emotion.

most of these guys wouldn't exist w/o this guy paving the way

FUCK ALL OF YOU.

That's Rudolph Schenker.

Guthrie can play

a god amongst men

i wrote a song about dental floss and nobodies teeth got better

>not that good

Fuck how high are your standards? He's literally one of the best rock bassists in the world.

i don't think she can put 5 chords together. and i like her.

>Bassist
>Bass guitar
>Guitarist

i miss lux interior

you see urgh a music war with a live version of tear this damn place up

poisonivy snears at him and i boner everytime

God I love these threads... when people argue about who's the better guitar player, or who qualifies for a certain ill-defined status of player, like your preferences actually mean a single fucking thing. These musicians aren't your gladiators, they don't validate your own taste in music or your abilities. You all sound retarded.

Anyone can say anything on the internet, I know, but I'm a musician (could give a fuck if you believe me) and, as a musician, I can say with some authority that the truth is, real talk, after a certain point, skill level kinda becomes irrelevant. Either a musician has a certain level of technique or they don't, but what you're judging all these musicians on is whether or not you like what they do. Which is a completely subjective way of measuring things, and arguing about it is the essence of autism.

This is one of those guys who thinks making dramatic, exaggerated faces while playing guitar = mastery. Pic related.

listen faggots, we need to separate the concept of
>musician
>guitarist

Rush is a god-tier band, Geddy Lee is a god-tier musician
>but he's not a god-tier guitarist
>even if you include "bass guitar" within "guitar"

Herman Li is a god-tier guitarist, but not a god-tier musician

Maybe for figure skating? THat's all I can think of.

Music is the expression of emotion. If you can't master that, you don't rank as God Tier.

Nope, it's Michael. Signed my shirt.

love it

...

But user, we are aware of this. It's just all for fun. I don't truly think Poison Ivy is among the greatest of all time, but I love what she's done for rockabilly (psychobilly??) guitar. This is all tongue in cheek.

you try playing a bass while singing... you jizz cock

Junior is awesome. Really entertaining live, too.

Santana
Prince
Dimebag
Eric Clapton
James Hetfield
Kirk Hammett

see
in general though, a lot of people were pioneers
>Dick Dale pioneered reverberating feedback, expanding the physical ability to distort guitar sound
>Tom Morello pioneered slide techniques that changed the way you could make sounds

people like, while not necessarily 'masters of emotion' changed the fundamental nature of guitar playing. literally making them gods, by creating new concepts

was God-tier....now dead-tier

this always starts arguments, but fuck puritans

He lost the magic when he stopped wearing the striped shirts.

Old fag here. Though I am typing this on a laptop, I will gladly give up all technological innovations to travel back to that time and stay there. It's not nostalgia speaking, it truly was a different time - one in which I'd be much happier in. Have fun with your comic book movies and your auto-tuned pop!

Morello is a God-tier douchbag

God-tier tunes

Trump 2016, amirite?

dick dale and link Wray

This blind country fat fuck can play

I forgot Ted Nugent in my previous post.

Whoa...FZ playing semi-hollow.

Sad to see Ahmet screwing over Dweezil so hard.

All my obscure Jap players that rip off from western artists.

He sure as fuck can. Goddamn.

Tomy iommi

Peter Green
