the 20 best rock guitarist of the history

[asdos2007]

@bonzosmontreux1 LOL, CLOWN? YEAH RIGHT! I DO NOT NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING, NOT TO YOU IN ANY CASE, I KNOW MY MUSIC, I KNOW WHAT I LIKE AND I STAND MY POSSITION, I INSIST IT ALSO DEPENDS ON MUSICAL TASTE, IT IS OBVIOUS RORY GALLAGHER IS A MONSTER ON WHAT HE DOES, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE MY FIRST CHOICE, JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW DOES NOT MAKE ME WRONG AS WELL AS YOU CALLING ME A 12 YEAR OLD DOES NOT MAKE YOU RIGHT. IF I RESPECT YOUR OPINION, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE RESPECTED AS WELL

[sawiola55]

BLACKMORE KING ! ONLY HENDRIX AND CLAPTON CAN BE OVER HIM

[ronquillo2]

@sawiola55 and page

[fabrypotter5]

come cazzo si fa a mettere B.B. king 16° ??????

[fabrypotter5]

come cazzo si fa a mettere B.B. king 16 ??????

[paulpwr76]

most of these are american shit who didnt make it in europe

[mainbenz]

John Frusciante?



[MooseStudios2009]

my reaction was jizz!!!

[37taupwn]

for Petrucci which song did you use?

[necroyoli08]

@37taupwn Universal Mind By Liquid Tension Experiment, this guy is a complete retard, Petrucci on 19 ???

[37taupwn]

@necroyoli08 my top five, in various order are: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, John Petrucci, Jimmy Page, and Synyster Gates. Also appreciated are Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chris Cheney, Matt Bellamy, Jonny Greenwood and definitely Slash

[Hendell]

thing to rember this is one persons stand point

[rasskal]

Isn't EJ too underestimated???

[spiker092]

and... where's paul gilbert? D:

[SmokescreenAbyss]

@spiker092 EXACTLY!!! And some of these are metal and blues players, not rock.

[Norbancs]

BB King is really a good guitarist and everything, but rock?! :D BB King = Blues Boy King

[guitarsforhire1]

@Norbancs i agree he is the king of BLUES not rock.....but u have to put him on a list.....especialy if this list is based on writing and skill

[Macsk8ing]

I don't know but I like BB Kings face, haha he had a really enjoyable time playing guitar. And that eric johnsn only made a fucking song, he's nothing special.

[DMills888]

i hate how no one can make a good guitar list without half of the comments complaining that their favourite guitarists didnt make the top 10 without even using the words "in my opinion". face facts guys they may be your favourite and may be good but jimmy page wanks on all..... in my opinion

[Hendell]

@DMills888 I agree with you as jimmy page is one hell of a player i think that jimi hendrix's wins hands down IMO lol

[shirtshine73blitz]

take out all the jazz guys, noodly doodly players and you have room for lots of rock guitarists. but lets see the top ten.

[ilovejaspersosomuch]

How come Prince is never mentioned???

[buzzsaw177]

rhoads #18? As usual, underrated....

[CannaS88]

Michael Rother

[TiagOPessolo]

Actually, the better guitar player is Joe Satriani and Steve Vai (in my opinion, Sach is better).

In my opinion, the best guitar players were Eddward Van Halen, David Gilmore, Jimi Page and Jimi Hendrix.

[carlosdevadip]

Eric Johnson at 13?????? What!?!?!?

[DRGK9]

duane allman should be number 7

[80phie]

@DRGK9 I agree

[axscode1]

Les Paul

[axscode1]

Zakk was 13 when Randy Rhoads recorded Crazy Train......Crazy train was recorded in 1980 Zakk started with Ozzy in 1987?

[blackmorefan14]

This rank is weak!!!

Ritchie Blackmore in 15???

Sorry, this is very weak!

[EVHISAWESOME]

@scraperune32 dude Zakk was still crapping his diapers when the solo to crazy train was written

[PizmoBeach1]

I don't think that putting together a list claiming that any specific people are 'the best' is a good idea because it will always be disputed. Now if you were to say 'AMONG the best' or 'my favorite' guitarists, that would be different because there are just too many amazing guitarists out there and 'best' can only be determined by opinion. These are all incredible players, by the way.

[philsharif]

hey wheres acdc

[OzzyZigNeedsAGig]

@scaperune32 you're so retarded. SO RETARDED

[grammageo]

WHAT ABOUT ANGUS YOUNG????

[scaperune32]

You fucked up the list at Randy Rhoads bro first of all he didn't right the solo to crazy train Zakk Wylde wrote the solo to crazy train.. Damn bruh you need to know your Music and Musicians before you make a list.

[sadbutsandman91]

@scaperune32 Zakk did not write the solo to Crazy Train. Randy was in Ozzy's band before Zakk ever came along. Learn how to spell too. Idiot!

[pepsican321]

@scaperune32  you are fucking stupid...

[clifflako]

@scaperune32 pinche estupido de mierda... fuckin stupid

[FunSlimy]

[tenacious1izme]

Apparently you've never heard of Alan Holdsworth. But I know all of the guitarists you mention have.

[chaoskings35]

WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM MAN?!?!? RANDY RHOADS AT 18 SERIOUSLY? YOU NEED TO GO TO A FUCKING MENTAL INSTUTUTION OR SOMETHING MAN.

[pumkinbreath]

[pumkinbreath]

[John5isabeast]

No John 5, lol

[ballymoyle15]

why is everyone so angry all the great's are'nt here because there in 10-1

[danthaboss]

Joe Perry , Angus Young??

[guirando]

I hate this kind of list. How can we compare BB King to John Petrucci or Steve Morse? There's no comparison!

[ferbicus]

@guirando Don't think of them from a technical standpoint. Think of what BB has done for modern rock music. Think of his tone and how guys to this day are still trying to mimic it. They're completely different playing styles, but I guarantee you BB was a big influence on both Petrucci and Morse.

[Danielexable]

wheres reb beach, jon levin...? eddie van halen

[TheLuigi330]

how do you forgot angus young, slash, paul day, terry rance,

that video is terrible!!!!

[andrez4071]

[oddlyreasonable]

agree with randy Rhoades. Buckethead is my fave.

[Kai007U2]

[Timmonsec]

@grkotsos theyre in the 100000000 list, just by 500000 or so... you can find them at the top 10 guitar player celebrity list thou...

[llillin10]

[gorazdmircevski]

[colin8434]

Brian May the best

[Pingwin12345]

Randy should be in first five!!!!!

[llillin10]

b.b king is good but he plays blues songs

[CrazyDan1984]

@llillin10 so what rock wouldnt exist without the blues

[marvelousmarv51]

[MaxtonSchulte]

[spartan934]

[THIVERSTILOT]

[moyersshred]

@ohmygooooood

universal mind by liquid tension experiment.

[HENDRIXOLOGIE]

HENDRIX ZAPPA VERNON AND STEVE MORSE

[soriess]

Brian May - №1

[asdos2007]

I AGREE IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU LIKE,IN MY EXPIRIENCE, NOT ONLY AS A LISTENER, BUT AS A MUSICIAN AS WELL, I WOULD HAVE RATE GARY MOORE DIFERENTLY, IS NOT THAT I THINK HE IS NOT WORTH IT, OF COURSE HE IS, BUT I THINK PETRUCCI IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE GUITAR PLAYERS. EITHER WAY, IS YOUR LIST AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH IT. I JUST SHARE MY OPINION, I THINK IS THE BEST FEEDBACK WE CAN GET AS MUSIC FANS... KEEP ROCKIN'!!!

[asdos2007]

DUDE, YOU REALLY NEED TO GET THE FACTS RIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, GARY MOORE ABOVE JOHN PETRUCCI????? C'MON MAN, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME, SECOND OF ALL, BB KING IS NOT A ROCK MUSICIAN, BUT A BLUUUUUUUUUUUUEESSSSSSSSSSS GUITARRIST, I INSIST, YOU NEED TO GET THE FACTS RIGHT AND IMPROVE YOUR MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE

[THeBEEtleNAMEdGEORGe]

@asdos2007 garry moore might not be as skilled but he writes way more beutifull music if i wanted a skilled guitarist i would go with hendrix halen or rhodes or any other guitarist who is more skillful then petricci. i value more beutiful and artistic guitar playing such as santana gilmore and moore. its his opinion anyway.

[arrudatsst]

seu cú otário

[ShreDeth6]

brian for john petrucci. i'm laying, both

[Aljax21]

gary moore should be way higher but glad to see bb get a mention how can richie be 14 top 10 at least

[TheQuietCenter]

it would be nice if the bands of these guitarists were listed... i've never heard of some of them.

[lolomegadeth87]

what?? Rhandy only 18?? probably the biggest shred influence....

[kergeroth]

B.B. King is only 16?!?!?!? he is one of the best guitarists of all time. 3rd biggest influence on guitar players man.

[TheQuietCenter]

@kergeroth but this is supposed to be a list of rock guitarists.. I suppose metal and blues are variants of rock...

[djheemskerk]

brian may nr 1

[Thinkingjelle]

randy rhoads should get higher on the list

[lolomegadeth87]

@Thinkingjelle totally agree

[beatlemusical]

AND bRIAN MAY? IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT bRIAN mAY

[leemeires]

the most underated guitarist mark knopfler

[AlCDouglass]

John petrucci is a metal guitarist not a rock guitarist

[martini2290]

slash should be in there

[dannnyeffex]

Kurt Cobain Suckssss!!!

[Bluevetteboy2012]

This list is bullshit! Slash is not even in this guy's top 20!!!

[Bluevetteboy2012]

Kurt Cobain!!!!!!

[logand56]

[MihailTronix]

Angus is the only real rock guitarist out there, just the amp + guitar among his skills!

[27mtv]

I LOVE #13!!!!!!!!!!

[stlydan]

BB King is a BLUES man...not rock guitarist. I should know, I live in friggin Memphis, TN!

"of the history"? what the frig is that?...English?

[sly8ball]

BB King may NOT play rock but he sure in the he!! can play a guitar...

[kveldeal]

B.B King doesn't play rock, he plays blues. So he shouldn't be at this list!

[7CountYourOathsX]

ah but he influenced so many people in rock music so maybe thats why he is included??

[Blahablaha163]

Prince anyone?!?

He's a great guitar player, he's even Clapton's favourite!

[TheVelocityVideos]

Even though it's just personal preference Richie Blackmore & Randy Rhodes should have been higher, and I've seen the 10-1 part of this vid, and ah, where were u planning on putting slash in, but overall, good videos

[TheRockBroadcast]

Angus Young is the greatest guitarist of all time! AC/DC 4 EVA!
