Who's the GOAT guitar player?

[ba'al]

I'm talking about guitars in generals (bass,acoustics,electric, etc). What guy do you feel was able to make his instrument create the best grooves and harmonies?
To me my man Eddie Hazel is the goat but Jimi,Prince, and Bootsy are all dope.

 

[John Mayer]

Tosin Abasi

 

[flea]

So many. I'd go with jimmy page or hendrix.
personal favorites: stevie ray vaughan and uli jon roth

 

[EpicStoryTeller]

No love for Getty though?

[ManxOfxThexYear]

you trippin.....eddie's entire sound is Jimi's.
I have all of of his stuff.
maggot brain is a classic but the truth is the truth.
my favorite song from him is from the bottom of my soul.
that's some powerful shyt.

 

[Will McLean]

IMO excluding the guy in my avi it's gotta be Jimmy Page

And as much as I can't stand KISS Ace Frehley is up there for me as well

I'm collecting all of their stuff on vinyl too. You're right.. in a way though. Jimi deserves the god spot as the originator .

Anybody who doesn't pick Jimi should get negged

 

[Paper Boi]

jimi was on PEDs brehs

 

[Tropical Fantasy]

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
