Who is the best guitarist of all time, and why is it Jimmy Page?
Who is the best guitarist of all time, and why is it Jimmy Page?
Christopher Phillips
Nicholas Harris
Strange way to spell "Tony Iommi"
Isaac Miller
Jimi Hendrix
Leo White
>he's smiling because he knows he's better than Jimmy Page
Dylan Wilson
this, dubs confirm
youtube.com
Ian Torres
...
Michael Peterson
Tbh, there's more technically talented Guitarist out there than Jimmy Page, but in terms of guitarist able to capture a mood and really speak with their instrument, Jimmy Page has to be top 3. He knew what would sound good and what would sound bad when playing.
Samuel Cook
Yeah in terms of like technical ability then it would probably be Metheny or McLaughlin, or maybe grant green
Dylan Thompson
He's sloppy but it really him a unique style. There are a ton of guys that are ridiculously impressive technically, like John Petrucci, but lack a definitive sound
Cooper Reyes
He was a master at the groove...
Wyatt Walker
Nah, Page is just as lacking as the wank guys though. At this point it's like this preconcieved notion almost brainwashed into kids' heads that bluesy playing is always emotive even when formulaic and anything else doesn't come close.
Jayden Taylor
was one of the original jam band guitarist. check out this never recorded cover/jam/medley.
Joshua Bell
this. y'all are retarded. page is nice, but he's nowhere near GOAT status. like not remotely close.
Hunter Collins
Are you 16, by any chance?
Luis Robinson
>bluesy playing is always emotive even when formulaic
just as the false meme that "bluesy" playing is always formulaic and devoid of emotion.
Eli Richardson
holy fuck. never heard that. its killer.
Nathaniel Green
Good slide work here. "Embryo No. 1"
Isaac Howard
Good improv jam "Embryo No. 2"
Jaxon Peterson
Johnny Marr
Richard Thompson
Kevin Shields
Nile Rodgers
I don't like shredders.
Nathaniel White
I love those guys, but I'd have to go with Guthrie Govan and Tosin Abasi. Really at the forefront of their instruments technically but also have tons of musical writing chops.
Jacob Gutierrez
*blocks your path*
Lincoln Adams
Wes Montgomery is better.
Michael Brown
Page was a great guitarist...but there are others who are "better" but Pagey's true brilliance was in putting it all together...the playing, the arranging, the producing to create iconic songs and albums that are vastly superior to any of the modern meme shredders like Govan et al...
Noah Jenkins
>He was a master at the groove...
this. he wasnt the cleanest or fastest or most technically gifted but he had the groove that moved people more than just about any other rock guitarist.
Wearing and tearing, custard pie, wanton song, ten years gone, black dog, rock and roll and on and on...all just had killer grooves that moved the brilliance needle.
Wyatt Parker
he's still really not that good. if you think guitar music begins and ends with rock music then he's cool, but he's really an embarassing player compared to someone like Paco De Lucia
Sebastian Walker
>an embarassing player
no. my cousin vinny is an embarrassing player. Page was a great guitarist in the rock context. He had the ability to make people feel with his playing which is remarkable. No, he is no Paco but Paco is no Page. Apple and Oranges.
Noah Campbell
>muh emotion
>only plays what sounds good
Sure is pleb in here
Easton Wilson
Jimi Hendrix
Prince
Paul Allen
Eric Clapton
Noah Martinez
paco could do everything page could.
Carter Reyes
FPBP
Jason Russell
having the technical ability to do something is not the same as having the inspiration to do it.
Could Paco write, arrange and produce like Page? clearly not.
Gabriel Sanders
writing is not guitar playing.
Justin Baker
the fact that someone can copy everything else someone does perfectly doesnt make them a better guitarist or even interesting
innovation and good writing>playing very complex 10 minute pieces
Owen Hughes
so, like...
he owned the Black Beauty *before* his other Les Pauls?
lucky chap
Levi Martinez
But what if...
Gabriel Lopez
So Jimmy page stealing songs and copying other blues guitarists doesn't make him good? Nice to know
Logan Flores
Buckethead
knows more notes than page.
Luke Lewis
Man show me a classic blues musician who didn't "steal" songs freely. I don't even like Led Zeppelin, they're like a pretentious Deep Purple and just as dull as the kashmir fabric itself.
Christian Rogers
>implying all Les Paul players are shredders or bluesmen
also pic related is the best guitarist of the last 25 years. Prove me wrong.
Protip: you can't
Ethan Perez
yeah it does. if you write a great guitar melody in your head, that doesn't make you a guitar player, or even a good one at that. sorry you had to find out this way .
Ian White
blues is honestly trash for that exact reason. one of the most limited genres ever. jimmy is overrated as hell.
Ian Lee
what's going on over there on his neck pickup? is that a metal strip?
James Stewart
A few of the 80+ songs Zeppelin recorded were nicked from old blues songs...rearranged and remade into something wholly new...this is true. But what other "blues" guitarists did he copy?
Nathaniel Gutierrez
>Protip: you can't
yes, yes I can and just did.
Kevin James
man, I swear, the SG has to be the corniest/tackiest guitar on the planet
Brayden Myers
>corniest/tackiest
strawman says what?
Why? who's ever heard of a corny guitar? Worked for Angus and Jerry
Robert Howard
Who cares what it looks like, Derek's tone is otherworldly
Jose Nguyen
David Gilmour is literally the quintessence of "muh emotional guitar" types. That said, I do love his playing. He may not be the fastest shredder alive, but his bends and vibrato are top-notch.
Ethan Wilson
Nigga, serious guitarists don't play SGs for looks. They're just one of the nicest guitars to play, especially concerning upper fret access.
Dominic Sanders
don't mind me man, that Devil Jr. body and fuck-hueg neck just never worked for me
agreed
>upper fret access
it's that exact design that makes it droop and dip so much
it's slim and comfy, yeah, but I never liked how I had to adjust it all the time whenever the neck decides to slide down
look guys I appreciate your appreciation for the SG, just wanted to voice my thoughts regarding it
that said, I wouldn't mind getting one in purple since it looked extra tacky that way
Easton Lee
pic related is definitely up there IMO
You could go full prince and go purple with gold electronics
Blake Sanders
Wish more people talked about Metheny, he's an absolute legend, him and his trio was the best concert I've ever seen by a long shot.
Jace Barnes
Sure, except I never insinuated that bluesy playing is formulaic by default. Next level retard, I hope you were trolling.
Aiden Hall
sounds like you just had a shitty SG. LMAO. i feel bad for you honestly.
Brandon Cooper
>'63 SG
>shitty
no lie, it sounds good, but really not for me
sorry bb
James Powell
you got a lemon lol
Kayden Gomez
...
Joshua Rogers
This guy is easily in my top 5.
Hudson Wright
your poor grasp of semantics doesnt change that a part of guitar playing is composing
Brandon Hughes
no it's not. sorry.
Chase Cox
If you only listen to guitar for technical competence, you may have autism, and you may want to consult a psychologist
Aaron Peterson
i don't do that. writing and guitar playing are seperate things. don't be so dense idiot.
Cameron Allen
fuck, you guys are so fucking gay
shut up already
Noah Nelson
>plagiarists
>the best at anything except theft
Anthony Clark
ew, fuck off retard
Josiah White
I feel writing and playing go hand in hand. You sound like a pretentious douche.
Kayden Cox
no, you're just wrong lol
Levi Miller
hello there
Brandon Diaz
...
Lincoln Parker
...
Landon Torres
epic meme DUDE xD
Ryan Sanders
I love Ol' Lightnin', but if ever there was a bluesman who lived up to the stereotype of only knowing variations of three songs on guitarr, it's him. He's like the Viper of delta blues.
Oliver Moore
mike stern
Jackson Howard
king of feels coming thru
