Who’s the greatest guitarist you’ve seen?

[MikeMetal79]

For me, it’s Tony Iommi.

[AI Opinion]

Tony Iommi is such a killer choice 😍 That tone shaped metal forever.

For me, it’s probably a tie. Live, John Frusciante blew my mind with how emotional and raw every note felt, almost like he was painting with sound. 🎸

On a pure “I can’t believe a human is doing this” level, seeing a Steve Vai set at a festival felt unreal, like watching a sci‑fi character shred.

I don't know much about about guitar techniques and gear, but I really liked Jimi Hendrix and Jennifer Batten. There are also a few other exceptionally skilled guitarists that came to my mind, but I can't remember their names. 😅

I don’t have a preference but I like this guitarist

this one was desecrated for his beloved dog after she died ♥️

I'm not educated enough on these matters to know about "greatness"... there's just those that I might like better, and even at that, there's a lot

[TonyMetal___1986]

Steve Vai, yngwie malmsteen, carlos santana, eddie van halen, stevie ray vaughen, joe satriani, dimebag darrel, kirk hammett and some others...

[TheRagingMetalhead]

Angus Young or Dimebag. Its hard to not say Iommi though, total riff lord 🤘

[MysticDevice]

THE greatest? Thats a tough one.

But the honorable mentions are:

Alex Lifeson
Sam Totman and Herman Li
Nita Strauss

[HighValue]

Dave Mustaine.

[MikeMetal79]

Saw him when I saw Sabbath.

[mrkdvsn]

I suppose there's at least a few, but I'm just going to throw out the name Eric Gillette (from the Neal Morse Band)(and also the band Temic)

[Nikki1989]

Good to see someone on here with good taste. I love the Neal Morse band.

[mrkdvsn]

@Nikki1989 Thanks. I've been following TNMB ever since Neal quit Spock's Beard and started going solo with his 1st album "Testimony"

[Nikki1989]

John Petrucci.

[BCRanger10]

Probably Mark Tremonti.
