Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best rock and roll/blues guitarist

John Frusciante has the best tone in rock.

Tommy Tedesco

Dick Dale played the strings upside down.... Hendrix just the guitar body upside down and restrung.



see the fat strings?

Now for the absolute best of a guitar that you can actually hear the melody of the tune along with the best guitar playing ever done.

roverboy;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the weekend was a good one for you and all who matter in your life are well.

Best, as has been mentioned is for sure subjective and although I used to fool around some on the guitar, I am in no way qualified to judge.

If you've never heard these two together, I hope you think it's time well spent.

They're both gone now of course.



Edit to add;
Jeff on his own.



All the best and God bless.

Dwayne

I didn't see these listed.

Buck Dharma - Buck's Boogie
John Petrucci
Ry Cooder
Uli Jon Roth

Glad to see Jeff Healey get mentioned...especially "How Blue Can You Get"

how about:

Robert Cray..."Chicken In The Kitchen"

Otis Taylor..."Nasty Letter"

Robin Trower..."Whiskey Train"

Yep, even Hendrix thought so.

The Stones best guitar was done by Mick Taylor 69-74

Yep. Took a second look at his guitars. Would have sworn his were reverse strung with the “fat strings” on bottom.

Neal Schon

Certainly a qualifying performance that always comes to my mind. Plus he wrote a song about writing a song, pure genius!
Since the question was asked about Rock/Blues, Peter Green should be considered.

Peter Green

Both, were extraordinary guitarists in their own right.

Dang! Duane Allman was only 24 when he died.

Greats in another genre also come to mind. Chet Atkins was incredible and made it look easy. And a really off the wall to some folks is Roy Clark (think Hee Haw). Roy could have gone in any direction he wanted with guitar. Just a thought.

Him and his Harley got in a fight with a peach truck. He lost. Thus the album Eat A Peach. Shameful waste.
