Who's the GOAT guitar player?

[...o3]

i have some experience on acoustic guitar, but is straight novice status on electric, so my opinion probably isn't as valid as some of the better players on the coli, but i'll say this....prince probably won't go down as the greatest, but dude probably is the most entertaining imo. i read a story about dude learning other guitarists songs and inviting them to his concert where he would perform the song with the revolution, then he'd proceed to sh!t on said guitarists while making their song his.....and then i saw this....



son threw that hohner tele in the sky and the guitar gods caught it.

Eddie is great, top 10, but we have to take age into account

Jimi at 27 was better than Eddie at 42

Jimi Hendrix is the GOAT. the only dudes close to him were Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, BB King, & Chuck Berry

Jimmy Page, although a plagiarizing devil, gets a pass because technically he's a fukking monster

Someone who's underrated is Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Their lead guitar parts are , especially on Daydream NAtion

Real ass po
