Is it possible to pick the greatest guitar player of all time?!
Question: Is it possible to pick the greatest guitar player of all time!?
There are so many different styles of guitar playing that it is nearly impossible to pick just one that would be qualified as the best ever!. There is Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), Slash (Guns n' Roses), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) hell about one hundred that could be on the list!. My question, is it even possible to pick one guitarist over another or are you picking your favorite style of playing!. For example, Eddie has a pretty unique style of different affects mixed in with a whole mess of stuff, Slash shreds and mixes some melody in, and Jimmy Page takes a whole different road and does mostly melody!.

There is no way that everyone will agree on a single best guitar player, and I understand what you are saying!.
However, I would say that the decision is easy for me, at least!. To Me Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarist, simply because Led Zeppelin's music appeals to me more, and his solos!.!.!.are amazing!.
But I love Slash, too--and a lot of people say he's way overrated, which leads me to believe he's actually underrated, because his solo in Sweet Child O'Mine is absolutely incredible!.
I also think my taste in guitarist is affected by whether or not I like their music!. For example, if the band has an -amazing- guitarist, yet makes bad music, I'll likely not give him the credit he deserves!.
I find it easier to compare guitarist to each other than vocals (Freddie Mercury and Roger Daltery have nothing in common)!. No, what I -really- don't get is comparing musicians of one instrument to musicians of another!. The other day my brother told me that Flea was a better bassist than John Frusciante was a guitarist!. !.!.!.I mean, how can you -convert- that!? It makes no sense to me!.

I don't believe that it is possible to select the greatest guitarist of all time!. These processes often end up being little more than popularity contests!. For all we know, the greatest guitarist of all time is probably much more interested in music than being known for greatness, and therefore may not care for fame and recognition, nor for commercial success!. The greatest guitarist of all time, is possibly a person with whom the world has little or no familiarity!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
