You’ve got to go to the crossroads and make that trade, breh.

As long as you’re not messin’ with another man’s woman, you should be ok!

 

[TheAnointedOne]

 

[Kokoro]

Can’t remember what I posted in here before but now I think it’s between Jimi and McLaughlin

You could probably say Jimi and any great jazz guitarist and that would be valid though

Anybody let OP know that Bootsy was a bass player?

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

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

Lee Ranaldo too...they both created some fukking crazy sounds with their guitars

My faves:

Jimi Hendrix
Prince
Santana
B.B King

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

This dude on the guitar

Junior Marvin

 

[Living Bait]

I'm afraid I'd have to go with some cac on this one . . Paco De Lucia was on some next shyt

 

[KingsOfKings]

Bootsy from that list.

Honorable mention wes Montgomery (jazz player)
