Jimi Hendrix.
I have this huge picture of him hanging right above my desk right now.

I voted for Kurt Kobain because I'm not particualrly familiar with any of the others. Smells Like Teen Spirit has fantastic guitar playing on it, I don't know whether that was Kobain himself though.

Clapton for me. I've loved his sound for years.

Kurt. "All Apologies" literally makes tears gush from my eyes. Anj first played it for me *smile* We both love them.

In addition, I think Tom DeLonge is pretty damn good. And if anyone wants to take me up on the lameness vs. listening-worthy ability of Blink 182, I'm ready *smile*

cant believe you left out the live version of no quarter

personally i think the live solo in dazed and confused is the most awe inspiring guitar work ever..

Hendix/Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jimmy Page. I just couldn't pick just ONE,cause in my opinion,these 3 ARE legendary!

But you have a great list,which made it very difficult for me to choose.I almost picked Carlos Santana,but I don't like it,when he plays with his back to the audience.That really bugs me.Especially if you pay money to see him in concert, & all you see is his back.*frown*

Since I can only pick one, I'll choose Stevie Ray Vaughn. Followed by Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, B.B.King, Eddie Van Halen, Slash and Jimi Hendrix (but not necessarily in that order).
Dino
(reply to heyzeus1) posted 13-Feb-2002 5:16am  

yeah - the song wasn't quoted as the finest example. Just something that many Zep fans have heard of. I prefer the piano and drum in that song.
Dino
(reply to mimind) posted 13-Feb-2002 5:19am  

again not the finest example of guitar work but I get shivers over 'When the Levy Breaks'. But yeah you're right dazed and confused has it.

Robert Fripp. *Zang votes survey good because survey creator took his advice* *smile*

(reply to Dino) posted 13-Feb-2002 10:08am  

levy breakin is great...heyzeus and i have an ongoing argument over some of the lyrics in that song..."sat on the levy and moaned" or
this one is mine "sat on the levy and roamed"
i think both are applicable.

oh yeah
Dino
(reply to mimind) posted 13-Feb-2002 11:59am  

I personally believe the song is a euphamism for female ejaculation and so therefore I believe it to me 'moaned'. What do you think?
mimind
(reply to Dino) posted 13-Feb-2002 1:03pm  

mostly i just say 'roamed' just to argue with heyzeus, but i like the idea of 'sitting' somewhere and 'roaming' in your head.

There are a lot of good ones but Jimmy Page is the man.*smile*

Hendrix was my second choice too. I wish he could have stayed around longer. Jimmy Page rules.*smile*

yeah. i am changing my mind to hendrix for first place, after hearing 'born under a bad sign' while driving to work yesterday morning. nobody can beat that.
ASexyBabesToy
(reply to heyzeus1) posted 16-Feb-2002 12:33pm  

If Hendrix was alive longer it would be a very hard choice for me. They are both the best ever but I still lean towards Jimmy Page. I may be biased because I believe Led Zeppelin is the best band ever. Just think about what Hendrix could have done. It's a shame his life ended so early.

If I could have rated this survey "Best I've Ever Participated In", I would have added the comment, "By Far"! Namely, since you included the best guitarist ever in your choices - Yngwie Malmsteen. His heavy and classical guitar playing - and that he performed both flawlessly - rates that legend "a mentor of legends". Rise, Yngwie! Rise!

That is, of course, with all due respect to Jimmy and Jimi, and to BB (just because he's been known as "the best" for so long), and ... ahem! ... what happened to including Randy Rhoades?
