atticus Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 John Mayer. I'm drunk. Debate me. I don't care about his lame ass love songs or his stupid tabloid personality. Fuck you if you think there's a better guitarist out there. 213041284s and backpackoat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Gary Clark Jr has been pretty phenomenal the past few times I've seen him live. I just can't think of a more well established talent than JM. Couldn't have happened to a bigger douche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Shit this is really subjective. I'd have to say Dave Grohl. Hey may not be the best technically but he writes some catchy riffs. bluessinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacaroo21 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm going to say Jack White. Not because he is the greatest player, but because he's the modern Miles Davis - every note he plays is not perfect, but thought out and deliberate. He also has crafted a very distinct tone. backpackoat and bathroommonkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That is because this is such a subjective question. Your most technically proficient guitarists may not have the most hit records or have the most recognizable riffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Trey Anastasio as every other guitarist mentioned in this thread can't even hold his jock. Though my generation might be a bit different than your generation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Seriously though, how does a complete hack job like John fucking Mayer even get mentioned in a thread like this? castaway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacaroo21 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That's true...I'm not a huge Wilco fan but I'd say Nels Cline has a spot of this list. Also Johnny Greenwood, St. Vincent, and Prince all have a shot too. withengineheart and dreamover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
