>be the best guitarist on the planet for 3 years
>spend the rest of your career making shitty soft rock and adult contemporary
based boomer
let's be real, he was better than Hendrix too he just praised him the way you would praise a wheelchair kid sinking a free throw
Keep telling yourself that chud
Was never the best guitar player on earth.
obviously the best guitarist on earth at any time is some jazz guy but nobody likes that shit
Disagree. Jazz doesn’t make you a good guitarist.
Jazz just goes 2-5-1 instead of 1-4-5 and plays some suspended chords. II ya not that hard to play.
yeah but i'm talking about musicianship and stuff, when you break the ceiling at rock/blues and become like god tier you're gonna be incorporating jazz into those styles, i say this as a fairly advanced rock/blues guitarist that knows damn well what jazz people do is harder than what blues/rock/metal guys do
Once you get it under your fingers it’s all the same shit. Jazz isn’t harder it’s just maybe slightly less ingrained in most people.
Hendrix by a fucking landslide>Jeff Beck>Page>Clapton
Can we do it with guitarists that don’t suck next time?
>Hendrix by a fucking landslide
How retarded are you?
No. Clapton and Page are straight up fucking trash. Beck is pretty good but nowhere near the pioneer and the influence that Hendrix was.
I’d even by somebody saying Beck was a better technician-he was, but Pageand Clapton are jobbers.
>that don’t suck
>hurduurr
thats pretty much what I got of that comment
You want to see some truly great guitarists?
I love Hendrix but Beck and Page for me. Beck from a strictly technical perspective and Page for simply inspiring me to play the guitar and learning his solos religiously. I do appreciate Hendrix’s use of noise and feedback in his playing, and I think that’s what’s most inspiring about him for me besides his rhythm guitar playing believe it or not.
>Was never the best guitar player on earth.
then who?
>Not including D&Dominos era
fuck off
Those three years were better than most people's 30 years
He was the worst member of Cream, without them he got exposed as a fraud.
Prime Leo Kottke vs. post tendinitis Leo Kottke was always the worst for me. Compare:
vs
Don't get me wrong, he is still absolutely great, he still has his very distinct style, but in the past he had a harshness about him that made him sound unlike anybody on the planet.
Rank these 4
Hendrix, Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck
>so desperate for a hit derives inspiration from throwing his toddler out the windy. BEST to ever do it
>anti-vax, pro-windy
Eric Clapton’s Kid Killed Himself because His Dad Fuckin Sucks
there's no proof of that, he was definitely chucked
>he actually thought Clapton was Bach or Beethoven or Coltrane or Tom Petty.
Holy FUCK lmao
I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, Tommy Emmanuel is the greatest guitarist of all time
Tommy Emmanuel is boring as fuck. The very definition of all theory and no soul. I'd pick someone like John Fahey as far as acoustic guitarists go because at least I can vibe with it and it sounds like music. Fahey is the reason I even became interested in learning guitar
IT'S IN THE WAY THAT YOU USE IT
this is the only good style of guitar playing https://youtu.be/cioOGOvWSco
>guy makes a couple of good albums and dies
>everyone sucks him off forever
>guy makes a couple of good albums and just chills doing whatever he likes for the rest of his life
>everyone hates him
Why is it so?
because person A had potential still when he died so they leave us wondering how different the music world could've been. Person B already squandered his potential so there's no longer anything to speculate and it's easier to just move on from them
I was experiencing old Cream shows and I was not impressed with their songs. I guess at that time they were impressive, but to me Clapton was just playing blues licks and blues lines and his improvisatons didn't sound good to me.
I struggle to understand why he is so admired by boomers.
