Searcy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well, I'm 41 and I have to say the all three of these guys blow my mind when they came out. Saw them all on a G3 tour a few years back. Anyone who thinks their music is just blind, emotionless speed hasn't listened to very much of it. That said, none of them would be at the top of my list today.

milod Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well... from an old guy's perspective, including knowledge of, and performance of music overall... Segovia Joe Pass Chet Atkins Note that none of the three needed a band behind them, each was exceptionally versatile and each did what their heads led them to do - Segovia "classical," Pass jazz/standards, Atkins whatever happened to trip his trigger and then whatever was needed. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 After listening to Atkins side by side with Les Paul on the "Chester and Lester" album, I've decided Les was a much better player. For my money, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Chet did what he did how he did it in public because it was expected. He could flatpick whatever quite well too. After I made my post on that, I got to thinking about how unique the guitar really is in that it can be played strictly as a rhythm chording instrument, as a piano (e.g. Segovia, Pass, Atkins) or as a fiddle, trumpet or sax as more of a "line" instrument. Even the Carter Family Scratch sorta playing is a variation of what piano players had done for ages with bass runs and rhythm chords above that. I tend to care more for, and do more of the piano version of pickin', hence my choices above. OTOH, there are hundreds of super-pickers in all sorts of styles and frankly, without the versatility of the instrument, it's likely neither of us would be "here." <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I vote Yngwie, but that's just me select your favorite and add a link of your favorite song of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNOuOwu5sug Maybe best Shred or Technical player maybe even "who do you like best" would have been a better way to get people to choose who you listed. In that regards I like Joe the best as an overall player, Yngwie is probably the best at neo-classical shred and Vai is just something of his own.... Also got rid of your -1 for you...

stein Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well, I'm 41 and I have to say the all three of these guys blow my mind when they came out. Saw them all on a G3 tour a few years back. Anyone why thinks their music is just blind, emotionless speed hasn't listened to very much of it. That said, none of them would be at the top of my list today. I have to agree HEAVILY with this. NOT the kind of music I listen to, but I still know good music and talent when I hear it. And these 3 guys CAN and HAVE played some GREAT stuff.

stein Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'll play: For me, probly JOE. I think Vai and Joe are problably real close in what they do or their abilities and music making, but Vai has a soul that is a little more toward twisting my senses and making me hear things I maybe didn't think was an option, where Joe appeals more to "normal" human emotions. Get past the "shred", and BOTH do AMAZING things with command of notes to bring out emotion and feeling. Speaking of SHRED, obviously one would HAVE to stand in awe of Yngwie's skill and speed, but as useless as that may be to some, I think when you get past that, musically, he has a talent and command of classical music that can truly convey the beauty and musicality of it.

rocketman Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 This is impossible to do. How do you compare Joe Pass to someone SRV, all of whom are "gods?" I think all players listed here are great in their own right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFqiDcvRW2Y&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Here's two pretty good pickers. Pass' single string work is as fast when he wants as anybody's. But when a picker like Roy Clark basically says what he does on the front end of the first vid... that sez something. The second is one of my favorites that I play a bit - about 10 percent of what Pass does, if I'm lucky. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enmitygauged Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 http://www.tommyemmanuel.com/about/awards.asp Tommy Emmanuel C.G.P The Original c.g.p. C. G. P. The initials in the title refer to the Atkins-coined title "Certified Guitar Player", a moniker he assigned not only to himself but other guitarists he admired and felt contributed to the legacy of guitar playing. C.G.P. was awarded at Chet's discretion. Including him, there are only five gentlemen that have been granted the title. The estate of Chet Atkins that has trademarked the designation has made it clear that there will be no other c.g.p. distinctions awarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 From the list... Because my wife loves him and also because he always thinks in melodies first and foremost, Joe Satriani Off the list, way too many 'guitar gods' that I love from all different genres to list! None of them would be rock guitarists anymore I don't think though (yep shock horror even including Randy Rhoads LOL). Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
