I think we have kind of got away from the original intent of the thread however as GNR really were never about technique and all about straight forward rock n roll.
And Jimmy Page could use all of their talent as toilet paper. That means nothing. Comparing one guy to another doesn't help determine talent- there are too many variables, and unless you set a standard as to how you set "better", it is subjective and difficult to find the correct answer. I can swear that someone is better technically than your guy, but what are we using as the standard? Ability to reproduce albums sound live? Ability to play notes the average guitarist cannot? Knows "Stairway To Heaven" front and back?
