All-time Best Rhythm Guitarist

frindin · 03-23-2010, 11:36 AM

I know most of you in this forum will disagree with me, but my alltime favorite rythm guitarist is James Hetfield(worst singer)

let me know your all-time favorite.

Worst singer? You are crazy. I think the best Rhythm guitarist is the duo Janick Gers and Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden. They basically invented harmonizing with the guitar. Or it would Malcolm Young of AC/DC.

I didn't know what I would say when I clicked on this thread, but since you reminded me of Maiden I'll go with that. Janick Gers and Adrian Smith created some truly addicting guitar riffs. It is hard to not enjoy the good Maiden songs because of them. Flight of Icarus anyday...

the correct answer is

MALCOLM YOUNG

Jon Schaffer-Iced Earth is impressive.

Is this even a question? Hendrix is the king of rhythm guitar.

Hendrix is more of a jack of all trades, though...I kind of took this thread as best rhythm guitarist when there are two distinct rhythm and lead guitarists in the band.

ah, sounds reasonable.

In that case I pick Stefan Koglek. Hes is the lead/only guitarist for Colour Haze a German stoner outfit. Apparently he started his carrear by learning nearly every Hendrix song, and when someone called him a little hendrix he stopped listening him altogether so he could develop his own style. It paid off.

That is what I meant in creating this thread.
another one of my favorites is Izzy Stradlin of GunsNRoses.
He's made some of my favorite riffs in songs like Mr Brownstone and Nighttrain
