electricmage Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 This type of thread is getting beat to death. Best Guitarist ever? Are you joking? What type of response do you think you will be getting here? This is a Led-Zeppelin forum. Who is their guitarist? Enough with these threads. And there is no "Best" guitarist. We all know it's personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 This guy ain't too shaby either. Probably Trowers most famous tune. Never said I didn't like Page...may change my mind tomorrow though. Page isn't exactly the only gifted guitarist worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 I saw Stevie Ray open for Plant before he was big and now famous. But ask yourself, if he had not died tragically, would he be that big? I say no. Death makes many a celeb bigger than life. Page is the best guitarist to ever walk this earth. Period. Hands down. Not even close. Seen him, see Vaughn, next I wouldl have to give it to Clapton and then Hendrix who along with Rhodes could have done God knows what. But they didn''t have enough material or longevity to be compared to Jimmy. Look at all the differant tunings Page wrote songs with. The man was so ahead of his time. He is untouchable. I play the guitar, took theory, started on piano. And why do I say this? So I can't be accused of having knowlege of music only in a listening sense. I know and understand complexity in playing and in writing. Page is the best of all time. I've seen both more than once. I think if anything Stevie Ray Vaughn is understated as far as celebrity status. And if anything Page would be overblown. But this was all part of the Page/Grant machine. I'm a huge Page fan also and really on many days I may feel the same. I just don't tie myself down to one guitarist. Stevie Ray did some awesome things and so does Page. As far as a food fight of anything this wasn't created to be anything of the sort. I feel there's plenty of room for both and if memory recalls Page was also a Stevie Ray fan. I feel many see Led Zeppelin as the greatest band. However as far as playing by themselves. Your gonna see people picking others, and who knows I was probably watching some really hot SRV video. It's SRV's speed that impressed me mixed with the style. Thusly the idea for the thread. Watching him swap guitars during a string break without a twitch of an eye is amazing.

jimmie ray Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 You gotta consider the ability to put out acoustic masterpieces, while still not compromising the heavy Thor kinda usual way of going about things - as the standard for these type of inquiries...

Suz Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nigel Tufnel PERIOD I second that. #2 Stevie Ray. But Pagey's guitar army can't be beat. So to me Pagey qualifies as the best guitaristS....now that almost sounds like something Nigel might say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
