I'd put him right now with the final chapters of his prime still unwritten somewhere between 10-25 on my list of favorite Great Guitarists

Just curios, but do you list your favorites anywhere? wana know since youv been playin for so long

Too hard to list favorites

It varies so much
But of the top of my head...

No offense to Robert Johnson, who has the coolest story in Rock and Roll history and his place is secure as an all0time great but I can't relate much to his guitar style it's so archaic now 70 years later. Anway my all-time favs

1. Hendrix
2. B.B King
3. Jimmy Page (Although I'd rank him 5-10 at best in terms of greatness)
4. Eric Clapton
5. Stevie Ray Vaughn
6. This kid I met named Dave Parrot (An insane virtuoso) can make an acoustic guitar and harmonica sound like a six piece band. He's way to insane to make an album though, just gets loaded and jams out at bars I guess. Also he can play Hendrix stuff twice as fast and as clean or dirty as you ask him to, I've never seen anything like it.
7. Dwayne Allman
8. Tom Morrelo
9. Brian May (not that he's great, just never played a song I didn't enjoy hearing and\or playing)
10. 6002 way tie.

Does anyone know if his first recording were ever found? (they were lost in his first apartment)

Everything I've heard from him has had promise, but it wasn't anything I could really get into.

Guthrie Govan is better imo

That was lame, shredders are overrated.

riseagainstrocks · 09-28-2007, 06:58 PM

haha, he's far from a shredder. Playing fast and tapping =/= shredding.

He has some of the most tasteful leads ever, plus his technique is flawless. I can upload his album Erotic Cakes. It's badass.

Yeah, see, here's the thing...what does Guthrie Govan have to do with John Frusciante?

"Hey, do you like Queens Of The Stone Age?
"Nah, I can't get into them. Aesop Rock is better."

boo boo · 09-29-2007, 02:00 AM

Yeah, people who do that annoy the hell out of me.

He's better.

Guitar player compared to guitar player =/= ****ty radio rock band compared to hip-hop group.

But has nothing to do with John Frusciante. So go start a Guthrie Govan thread if you want to blabber on about him. His music isn't really relevant here.
