me and my friends dad had a great argument over who could outplay eachother (hendrix vs stevie ray).
i sided on hendrix, anyone else have an opinion here?

I'm new here, I may not know so many artists/guitarists, as far as I know, Eric Clapton is the best. But he does not seem to be rock metal. Don't laugh @ me, hahaha

Manuel Gottsching!
I guess you would know a bit about Krautrock and Ash Ra Tempel being a progressive fan

He was one of the most influential in the genre.

Stevie Ray is the more clean player, but Hendrix had the energy and his riffs alone are show stealers.

Trey plays a guitar-like device called a "Warr guitar", and since he always played with Fripp and Belew, I though it was a bass-like contraption, no? Should you disqualify him, here a goup of guitarists that could fill 192.

Curt Kirkwood - Meat Puppets
Bob Stinson - The Replacements
Trey Azagthoth - Morbid Angel
Michael Amott - Carcass, Arch Ememy, Spiritual Beggars
Jim McCarty - Detroit Wheels, Cactus, Rockets
Tony Bourge - Budgie
Bill Steer - Napalm Death, Carcass, Firebird
Scott "Wino" Weinrich - The Obessed, Spirit Caravan, Places of Skulls, Hidden Hand
Matt Pike - Sleep, High On Fire
Eddie Glass - Fu Manchu, Nebula
Ed Mundell - Monster Magnet, Atomic Bitchwax
King Buzzo - Melvins
Andreas Kisser - Sepultura

No it is a guitar, just an unconventional kind of guitar, and I figure if pedal steel can coun't why not the warr? It's really nothing more than a 12 string guitar with a fatter and longer neck. It was designed so that bass techniques could be used on it and it's similar to the chapman in that you can play bass parts on it, but in terms of basic design and tone it pretty much is a guitar.

Trey Gunn may be a little high, quite an obscure name, but he's a damn good player. A lot of jazz and eastern influences in his playing and it really shows in Crimsons last 2 albums.

Cobain? seriously? top 200 songwriters maybe. Brian May after Pete Townsend? for shame.
This is your opinion so I should shut the **** up

thanks for taking the time to make that list, overall it's pretty good.

(not a bad attempt at an insult followed by a compliment I must say)

You would put Ed Mundell and Eddie Glass in before Josh Homme? He might be a little full of himself, but Josh Homme completely created desert rock with Kyuss. He was really young when Kyuss was in their prime and later went on to achieve commercial success with one of the most dynamic rock acts. He simply shits on others in his genre and is a great modern guitarist.

God, Fu Manchu brings tears of laughter to my eyes. How they ever achieved success with that ignorant prick and his formulaic riffs I'll never know.
