I think the terms of greatness are subjective as well. If we are talking technical proficiency, then I'm sure that a lot of the other guitarists mentioned in this thread are more technically skilled. I certainly have no expertise in that area. White's strength is in the creativity with which he creates music with his guitar. IMO, there are few other guitarists that are able to express themselves as well through their playing. I think that makes him a great guitarist. But I mostly think he f'ing rocks.

I see that a lot of people have Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughn on there list. Here's a name I didn't see and Santana is saying that she would get baton from him when he stops rockin' out. Meet Orianthi.

If you mean Jack White, I'm with you, i think he's up there with the greats, it's subjective. Depends on your tastes. To me, dead leaves and the dirty ground is just pure guitar heaven....

Kirk Hamett
Dimebag Darell
James Hetfield
Eddie Van Halen
Dave Mustaine

The best? No. But my favorites.

Captain 'Dre · 08-22-2010, 05:44 PM

Not gonna read the previous 6 pages, but Duane Allman gets my vote.

The guy died at 24, I believe, and was so frickin' far ahead of his time it's scary.

Derek Trucks is the nephew of Butch Trucks-- one of the Allman Brothers Band's two main drummers over the years-- and even though Derek was born after Duane's death, it's obvious when listening to his guitar work that he was exposed to Duane's stuff from the time he was in the cradle.

Duane's phrasing was other-worldly. I've never heard anybody else who resembles him, other than Derek.

I've always been 'moved' by Duane's playing-- Anyone who's heard "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post" on the Live at Fillmore East album will probably understand when I say there's a spiritual quality to his work. By that, I mean that his play evokes incredibly strong emotion in the listener in ways that are impossible to explain logically.

Lots of different styles there. Good list. As for rock bassists, there's a few I dig that are not in the Entwistle/Jack Bruce/Squire tier:

Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick--underrated but like a rock.
Nick Lowe--Dude's mainly known as a songwriter
Sam Yaffa from Hanoi Rocks--another underrated groove meister.
Tom Kriss from the james gang
Bob Daisley from Blizzard of Ozz--grew up on this guy, never got his kudos.
John McVie kicks ass too--that bass/drum combo is in the pocket as they come.
Jimmy Bain--he's known for his Dio work but listen to Rainbow Rising and prepare to be impressed.

I dig the guy. Many here instantly jump onto the slag wagon when it comes to Clapton and I don't know why. Dude's earned his stripes and his body of work stands on its own. A steely eyed missile man, to be sure.

funk- Maceo Parker, Lenny Pickett
Bebop-Charlie Parker, Coltrane
West Coast- Cannonball, Stan Getz
The Fusion where guys like Sanborn come in.

Sanborn sort of that guy who did all the R&B stuff, played with Bowie, played with Clapton, so I'm not surprised he makes a lot of lists. He's a great player though no doubt about it. Probably the most copied sound in the history of sax.

Love Sanborn, I played in jazz bands with Paul Taylor and Nelson Rangell but you can't even talk Sax without talking about Stan Getz and I'm not even from his era. Drums? Gotta be Gene Krupa followed b Buddy Rich.

Really it is too bad that the swing era died. My dad raised me on it and there were so many good musicians. This is one of those fun but silly debates because so many guys deserve credit. Clarinet Woody Herman. Trumpet Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie. In their days, Maynard Ferguson and Doc Sevrenson on trumpet. The Dorsey Brothers. It does a disservice to rank them, these cats all had chops.

Modern Day (for me anyway) Steve Gadd and Stanley Clark are two standouts for me along with Chick Corea, Pat Williams Threshold album (good luck finding it) etc. The best thing about music is there are musicians to appreciate and love across all generations and all styles or music.

Rohirrim · 08-27-2010, 11:55 AM

I miss George Harrison. Every time I hear one of his leads I get a little pang in the heart. He had a very distinctive, heartfelt, and individual way of playing that always touched me. All things must pass.

Listen to Give Me Love for a good example.

My guitar teacher is a big Stan Getz fan. I prefer Coltrane and Rollins but have a large Getz collection because she talked him up so much.

I would take Maynard and Doc off that list and go Bix Beiderbecke, Clark Terry, Chet Baker along with Armstrong and early Davis.

The great thing about Jazz and Classical is that you always find a new layer with each listen. Pop/rock are fun but once you get the beat and rif there is not much meat left on the song as the changes are usually generic.

This is a great album also I was unaware of Bob Scobey until I picked this cd up at the library: http://www.discogs.com/Bing-Crosby-W...release/709166
