ZimZam Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 If you were to ask the guitarist themselves, most would probably say that the great black blues men. So I would have to say Muddy. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 One word: ERUPTION! Â Spanish Fly is a lot more interesting jam to play. As are most Randy Rhoads solos. Quote
klar404 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I can't be bothered to read all the drivel but here is a cover done by a great band suffering from a bad recording. http://www.ween.net/austinteacher.mp3 Hilarity over quality. Quote

Skeezix Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Iommi is copied by some, but all modern metal was started when that badass got a guitar. You can hear the influence in what today's artists are doing. Well I guess a lot of beginning guitar artists do play that Smoke on the Water lick... Quote
AlpineK Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Robert Fripp He's a good one. I put Brian Eno in my favorite artist list Quote

kevbone Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) One word: ERUPTION! Â Spanish Fly is a lot more interesting jam to play. As are most Randy Rhoads solos. Â Spanish Fly is an incredible piece, he recorded it in two takes. Thats pretty cool and amazing. Randy is great as well, its really a shame he past on looooooonnnnggg before his time. Â I choose Eddie as the most influential rock guitarist. He is not my favorite but I believe the most influential. All rock guitar changed in the following years after he came to power. Guitarist imitated him for a decade. Whether you like his music or not, he for surely influenced a lot of upcoming guitarist. Â Currently I enjoy listening to Steve Kimock. Who I would say is the most patient guitarist playing today. Edited November 23, 2006 by kevbone Quote
Off_White Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I heard somewhere that Satriani taught Eddie how to play. Quote
G-spotter Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I heard someone recently say "Kid Koala has lost it on his new album... he's technically superhuman but when you listen to it it's got no soul... he's turning into the Joe Satriani of the turntables" Quote

In my defense, I was never much of a Black Sabbath fan. It was always hard for me to take seriously any guitarist sharing a stage with Ozzy Osbourne. Quote
Skeezix Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 We can debate mainstream guitarists all day. How about fringe pickers? David Lindley Steve Hunter (on Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal) Larry Carlton (Steely Dan's Reelin' in the Years Harvey Mandel others? Quote
