The Official Best Guitarist Thread (jazz, metal, genre, title)

its because he is in the UK. if he stayed in US for a while, he would be huge. and how do you know he doesnt have good timing? if you dont have good timing, you cant put music together. and he can definitely put music together.

playing two different solos at once has timing issues. i.e., different time signature, tempo, etc. it would take many years to pull that off.

he's not the best ever, but he definitely has talent.

Hendrix was the first great and he'll always be the greatest ever!!!!!!! something for all you ignorant ****s with short attention spands on rock instruments:

It's not what you play, but what you dont play that makes you a good musician.

This is guy is good. He's fast thats nice and all. I know of acoustic players that play faster than this. I've known who this guy is for awhile. When i first saw him i was like wow. Speed means nothing without phrasing. Without phrasing, u r a nothing. This guy is good and all but jazz and flamenco players are more complex than this guy. John Mclaughlin has been going at about that speed since '71! This guy came more than decade later. And Di Meola also has being going at about that speed since '77. Soo and on top of they are better players. He is just another Malmsteen tryin to get attention. Oh and by the way Mclaughlin and Di Meola are still playing at that speed, Di Meola is 50 and Mclaughlin is in his 60's. The fact that he plays 2 guitars is that "amazing" whats amazing is when 3 guitarist play some of the most hardest crap at once! Harmonizing together. This guy is really good and all but there are better, and his song craftsmenship is subpar.

Nah man too bad jimi hendrix is the god of the guitar and i still await the day someone comes along to take his place

Yeah Jimi obviously wasn't a technically proficient as someone like Batio, but at the time what he did with the instrument was revolutionary. Also he put emotion into his playing and it really showed.

Super fast shred stuff gets boring fast anyway and, in my opinion, Emotion > Speed everytime.
