its to tough for me

Out of those?? Dave! Definatly Dave. No contest. David Gilmour is highly underrated by the way. He's never really talked about like Clapton, Page, or even Eddie Van Halen of all people! He's very talented. When he was first around they compared him to Jimi Hendrix. That he could play like him or something. I can't remember the story now. Plus.........he's pretty too. ;D

Sorry! Once I get started though...
-
you think hes better then george harrison even?
-
Yes. I think David is one of the best. While George is very good, I really haven't heard him do the kind of things Dave has done on songs like Shine On, Comfortably Numb (awesome live on Pulse!), Time etc...... But then the Beatles don't do extended guitar solos and instrumentals like Floyd did so who knows. Plus Dave played a lot of the bass parts on Floyd albums for Roger. (Hey You, Pigs) He won Roger a few bass poll awards along the way! Very talented man.
-
ya you can see daves skill in dogs , shine etc.
-
i think Dave the most talented guitarist out of those and is very underrated, but i chose Pete, right now Im too into The Who too not choose him, I just bought "Live at the leeds" so who wouldnt be into them if you just recently bought the best Live album of all-time?
-
Best: Dave
Fave: George
-
Eric Clapton-the other guitarists are equally great as well but Clapton defines the guitar god.
-
dave is a great player, BUT i think im gonna have to go with clapton on this one as he's probably the BEST all rounder as a player ..............
-
really like gilmour and clapton, but im a big beatles fan so i'll go with harrison on this one...they're all good, but i really like george's guitar playing on many many tunes...

comfortably numb is probably my favorite floyd song...and that live on pulse is really amazing...
-
George.
Maybe not technically the best one, I just like his style (a lot) better than that of the other ones.
-
Dave, I think clapton is more talented, but there is such emotion in DDaves playing. The guitar crashing in on "Mother" is just incredible.
-
im surprised u guys have chosen glimour that much
-
its a very floyd fanbase here, not to diminish the other guitarists.
but pete townshends playing has never been that incredible. The windmill jamming is obviously very cool, but he doesnt compare witht he others imo. maybe hes better than george

well there are only 4 choices in there, if you'd add Page, Hendrix, Frampton, Van Halen, Knopfler or any other famous guitarists it would have probably been pretty different...
and like hcys said, a lot of people really like floyd here...

Why do people say that Clapton is more talented than David Gilmour? I'm not being sarcastic here or anything I'm just curious. I know nothing about the technical aspects of guitar playing, but it seems to me that Dave could play anything Clapton could. I'm not sure what Clapton does that makes him superior. Any guitar players around here that care to elaborate on this? Seriously, cuz to me David Gilmour is amazingly talented. I'd call them equals I think. Oh, and why the nickname Slow Hand? Just curious.
-
Its a toss up with Gilmour and Clapton, but i'll take Clapton. Poor George, but i think he brings up the rear in this contest.
-
Have you heard "Crossroads" live?...that can explain why Clapton's so good
-
I know Clapton is good, I'm just not sure he's better than Dave. Technically that is. I've been a Clapton fan longer than a Floyd fan. I just think Dave is pretty talented. Live at Pompeii and Pulse are amazing. I still think they're pretty equal. Just have a different playing style.
-
Miss Macca- he is named slowhand not as a snide remark about his slow playing but out of respect. When he was doing shows with the Yardbirds and Cream (during the Clapton is God phase) he would often bend strings so violently that they would snap. therefore the other members of the ban would lead the audience in slow hand clapping while he got a new guitar or restrung his current one.
-
I know it's a complimentary nickname! I just have never heard how he got the nickname!! I have never heard that but it's a very cool story. I had no idea. Clapton is an AWESOME guitarist. I'm in no way saying he's not by putting Gilmour up there with him. Mainly because Dave is also an AMAZING guitarist. I think they're equal. Is that an insult to Clapton? Because I don't mean it to be. I was just wondering what Clapton does that makes him technically better. I'm not a guitar player so I don't know.
-
I love Dave too, I think hes underrated too, but Clapton isnt overrated(not that you said that)...yeah, i own Live At Pompeii and dave is amazing on it, Nick mason too, all of them were amazing, as usual, I love the "Echoes" peformance
-
I was watching That 70's Show yesterday and two of the characters (Eric and Hyde) were asked to draw a picture of God and they both drew Eric Clapton! I thought that was funny. Wonder when the whole Clapton is God thing started? He must be good to have invoked that response in people!
Echoes on the Pompeii DVD is very cool. I love it. Wish they would have shown him doing more recording for Dark Side though. Have you seen Pulse? He's amazing. And he's not even in his prime on it. Well, maybe he's still in his prime I don't know. Wonder if age effects guitar playing like it does the voice!
-
Clapton Is God started when he was in Cream..one day he went to a city and there was "Clapton Is God" banners everywhere...it explains it in my Cream booklet, dont remember anything else at the moment
-
I didn't know it went that far back! I thought it happened in the mid 70's or something. Interesting.
-
Here's just about everything you would want to know about Clapton.
http://clapton.onecom.com/biography.htm
-
oh gee thanks...lol john mayalls good too.
-
Shut up you, or I will start posting accounts of Zimmerman everywhere on this forum.
-
I chose Clapton.
I think Gilmour is amazing, but Eric tips it.
-
i went for clapton...but where's hendrix?
-
If he put Hendix on there most people would probably vote for him.
-
geroge harrison wo is it ,sh*t english language
-
Well I'm glad Pete got at least one vote!

Well, he does have to play the leads and the rythm both and I think he does a fantastic job,,but I aint no guitar player. He's a great songwriter too, but that isnt the issue.

He's never really talked about concerning his guitar playing so I don't think he's overrated. He's known more for his song writing ability and wild style of playing than he is for being a top guitar player. He's probably better than people think.
-
from what i hear from the who he sounds preety good
but what do i know
-
I can't believer Gilmour got as many votes as he did! I didn't think he would because people automatically go for Clapton everytime. It's sort of been force fed to us about how great he is. Gilmour gets little attention compared to Clapton, Page, and Hendrix. Wonder how Keith Richards compares to these guys.
-
is eric clapton that good? i havent heard his music at all, all ive heard is wonderfull tonight by him and thats easy cause i can play it

Do you mean his solo stuff or his guitar playing isn't much without Floyd? Because I think his guitar playing stands on it's own. He's not much of a songwriter though.

I actually have and love Gilmours solo stuff. Check out 'There's No Way Out of Here' off of the self titled album and 'Murder' (his best in my opinion) and 'Out Of The Blue'. Some good stuff there guys.
-
I've never heard his solo stuff. I definitely need to check it out!!
-
ya and i need to check out eric clapton
-
i agree with maccalvr, david glimour wasnt the best songwriter for pink floyd
Roger waters was, he preety much wrote the wall and the final cut wich i think is awesome
-

yeah. pre wonderful tonight....listen to his days in Cream, and Derek and the dominoes, Crossroads has an awesome guitar solo by clapton
-
^ Couldn't agree more.
His 60's work far outstretches his solo career.
Check out the Blind Faith Album, really great listen.
-
I may be wrong, but wasn't most of the guitar work on Layla actually Duanne Allman, cos Eric was "in no fit state". Sure I read that somewhere
-
IMO PT is well underated... to say he not good a player or songwriter.. have a listen to some of the stuff the Who produced in the 70's.

I have his solo album 'David Gilmour', and it's pretty good, but i like Waters 'The Pros And Cons Of H-H' better..but it's still a good solo album...
-
LOL, someone actually said Pete townshend is hugely overrated, noone hails him as the greatets guitarist, like Hendrix or Beck, so how is he HUGELY overrated, id say Underrated
-
Gilmor's lead guitar is the best!!!!!!
Well, I love all lead guitar in a song, but his is the best I've heard.
Then again, electric guitar is the best instrument EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
-
yes, david gilmour is underrated, but pete townsend is my favorite out of choices.
My favorite guitarist, personally, is Jeff Beck.
-
my favourite, personally is eric clapton

You know, I never bought this one and I should. I've heard nothing but good things about it. (Its got a nice album cover too) ;)
-
who do you think is the most famous out of these guitrists?
most likely george harrison or eric clapton
-
probably Clapton is the best overall player ...
-
come on...lets all clap, for clapton!!
-
/clap :P
-
I can't...He stole Patti...lol :P
-
well the guy has obvioulsy good taste eh hehe :)
-
who do you think is the most famous out of these guitrists?

I think the most damning thing about George is that only real Beatle freaks know when John or Paul have taken over lead guitar.
-
what?
-
what?
what what?(confused)
lol :)
-
I voted for Pete, but I know that George is as good as pete!
-
david eric and geroge are all tied!
-
That's perfect.
-
ya thats true
-
im surprised george is up in the running
-
Eric Clapton
he can't write songs but man can he play
-
ya eric isnt much of a songwriter
-
george is the best songwriter out of these
-
good ol' george is probably the third best guitarist but the best song writer out of those five
-
Wait a minute! So who wrote Layla, Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven?? Okay, so he's only done a couple, but those are pretty good songs!
-
George is a good songwriter, but what about Pete Townshend???
-
woops
forgot about those
-
Wait a minute! So who wrote Layla, Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven?? Okay, so he's only done a couple, but those are pretty good songs!
yes but hwo wrote all things must pass, taxman, here comes the sun, something, long long, while my guitar gently weeps, I need you etc.
-
Gilmour played the most powerful...Comfortably Numb solo and Time solo is so powerful
-
And Echoes solo is very cool.
-
Oh, and speaking of great songwriters, who wrote: My Generation, Can't Explain, Anyhow, Anyway, Anywhere, Tommy, A Quick One, Magic Bus, Baba O Reilly, Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again, Happy Jack, I Can See For Miles, Pictures of Lily, Pinball Wizard, Sally Simpson, Behind Blue Eyes.....To name just a few. Talk about underrated.
-
yeah! pete is underrated. i totally agree with ya, Sandra.
-
Extremely!! The whole band is underrated. I still can't get over that they've never even been NOMINATED for a grammy! They should have gotten a lifetime acheivement award last night. Townshend is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
-

Eric clapton hands down
-
this thread is about the guitarist skills not the guitarist's songwriting skills

I know that, but it was brought up so I went with it. It's okay to go off topic every now and then for the sake of discussion. We're not sticklers.

Im sick of people calling pete townshend overrated when hes one of the greatest guitarists of all time....all i want is the truth, Just Gimme Some truth
To everyone who thinks Pete Townshend is an overrated guitarist-- Buy Live At leeds and listen to every damn song, and come back to the forums and tell me what you think about him now
-
this thread is about the guitarist skills not the guitarist's songwriting skills
Yeah, Pete mastered both
-
I think George Masterd both
These Guiatrists are so close
I voted ofr david glimour but i wanted to vote for george
Skill:
1. Dave Glimour
2. Eric Clpaton
3. George Harrison
4. Pete townshend
Songwriting
1. George Harrison
2. Pete townshend
3. David Glimour
4. Eric clpaton
-
thats what i think anyway
-
Harrison is the best overall... about songwriting i agree with you, but for skills:
Clapton (just the best...)
Gilmour
Harrison (about a tie between him and gilmour)
Townshend
thats my opinion
-
i do think eric clapton is better then david glimour
but i like david glimours style a lot more
-
i do think eric clapton is better then david glimour

whats eric clpatons best guitar skilled song?
-
whats eric clpatons best guitar skilled song?
Crossroads
-
Clapton is guitar god.
-
True
-
Eric Godton
-
my top 5 guitarists looks like this:
1-george harrison
2-eddie van halen
3-jimmy page
4-eric clapton
5-a tie between dave gilmour and pete townshend
but the likes of keith richards, jimi hendrix, jeff beck and SRV are all great too
-
1. david gilmour
2. George Harrison
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Eric Clapton
5. Jimmy page
-
Weren't we having a similar conversation in another thread?
Dave is great. I'm not sure if underrated is the right word, given the fame of Pink Floyd. But, he's massively better than Harrison was, plus a host of others. Gilmour's playing is fantastically emotional, and suits Waters' more ranting emotional moments (The Wall) perfectly well. On The Wall, he sounds suitably angry on On Thin Ice, suitably lustful on Young Lust, suitably distraught on Comfortably Numb, etc.
-
ya hes great, Time is an amazing solo, along with comfartbly numb
-
ya hes great, Time is an amazing solo, along with comfartbly numb
You can definitely be a better 'guitarsit' after you get 'comfartbly' numb.
-
1. George Harrison
2. Keith Richards
3. Eric Clapton
4. Jimmy Page
5. David Gilmour or Jimmi Hendrix
-
Definitely Eric Clapton. Then Gilmour.
Although I like Pete Townshend too but I wouldn't say he's the greatest.
-
Tommy Emmanuel.
-
eric clapton is better than george harrison
-
depends how you look at it.
-
George's guitar playing is very distinct. I mean, it seems to have a certain sound to it. He does a great slide guitar doesn't he? But I think the others stand out more. George won of course cuz he's a Beatle and we're on a Beatle site, but when you're really honest about it, I don't think he'd come out on top. Clapton is incredible. There's no doubt about it. I think the thing that puts him over Dave is that he can play very fast as well. Dave's even admitted that's not his strength. But Dave's playing is so much more emotional. He really conveys feeling in his playing. I like listening to his solos. And I'm not one for solos much. And not just the solos, but the playing through songs like Money, Echoes, or Shine On is mesmerizing. How erie is that intro! Perfect. So anyway, I still go for David Gilmour. I think he's the best singer up there to. I love George on certain songs, but not all. Especially the early stuff. Sorry. Clapton's voice is good for what he does. That blues rock. He sounds like an old blues guy or something.
-
^^yep i completley agree especially on the album 'from the cradle' by clapton you can hear his distinctive bluesy old man's voice really well, he has a really unique and brillaint voice for that style of music..harrisons alright i prefer some of the old solos on ealy beatles records ('i saw her standing there') rather than his later solo stuff where he didnt really seem to express him self very well on terms of the guitar..he didnt really show off;he was obviously the right person for the beatles though.
-
I was not there but according to In Blue Hawaii here:
http://dmbeatles.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-harrison/m-1112247456/
According to Tom Petty, George could also "knock the sh*t out of the blues". Petty was visiting Hari a few years before his death and the two of them started jamming and George just started playing the blues like a madman. When TP asked him why he has never done a blues guitar type record George responded with a wink and a grin "Well Tom, that's Eric's thing"
Maybe George was able to do things we didn't know ...
-
lol..secretly hendrix
-
:D yeah ... he invented wah-wah and feedback ... introduced sitar to the world and played guitar with his feet ... but secretly, of course: it was quiet and modest George! LOL!
P.S. The last part was true ...
-
I was not there but according to I am the Paulrus here Olivia said about George:
http://dmbeatles.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-harrison/m-1129790968/
..."I just want to appear where I have to. I don't need to say anything about George to present him or preserve him because that's not what he would have wanted. I'm just trying to finish what he started."...
... so let's see ... let's see ... 8) ;D
-
i think they should've included The edge. i mean come on, listen to his stuff, thats impressive for one guy to play.
-
Again, listen to Tommy Emmanuel. Now, THAT's impressive for one man to play. Todd Rundgren about him: "He's the best two guitarists I know."
-
I like George, Pete, Clapton and Gilmour.
Jimmy Page as well. But he's not on the list.
-
i love george actually..reminds me of my mate dan ( a reallli good guitarist) he sorta looks a bit like him in a weird way and he likes beatles! he can play blackbird super..anyway georges playing on the live video of i saw her standing there is....genuis
-
Most talented guitarist out of those is David Gilmour.
Personal favourite is George Harrison.
-
how bout my buddy thats a wicked good guitarist and looks (no lie) like a perfect image of lennon, except with a little more blondish hair
-
oh c'mon it's obvious that George wins here, and I vote for him, but seriously and technically... Gilmour would top here.
technically:
1.Dave
2.Slowhand
3.Dirty Harri
4.Pete
whoever as a Beatlemaniac George is the man!!! my vote goes for him
-
Dave = I dont think he's as technically gifted as Clapton, but had his own unique tone and made his guitar make noises that no one was doing at the time
Eric = Technically more gifted than the rest, but just plain dull and once youve heard one Clapton guitar line/solo youve heard them all and never changed up his sound much
Pete = Not as technically good as the two before, more creative than Eric with sounds but not as much as Dave, solid Rhythm player.
George = Not in the same league as these guys imo, decent rhythm player, mediocre solo's, quite creative, i've never understood why he is rated as highly as he is ? is it The Beatles connection ? or its cool to name check him ?

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! that was a bad one for George from you... WHY? a decent rhythm playing? he wasn't even the rhythm guitarist in The Beatles (Lennon was). mediocre solo's? he made many great solos, why you call it mediocre? of course Paul have made some better solos like taxman or good morning good morning, but to call George's solo's mediocre? YES at least you understand that he was quite creative/versatile guitarist. and when he was rated as guitarist so high? he was underrated, I have never seen him in any high rating, where you have seen it, lol?

I know Lennon was the rhythm guitarist and George was lead, but i don't rate him much on his riffs/solo's lead work and i think rhythm is his best qaulity thats why i mentioned rhythm
I also think theyre bass player was a better guitarist than him.
I said i Don't understand why he is rated as highly as he is, you say he isnt rated that highly, i still think that is too high, imo he shouldnt be making it into the top 100 guitarist polls.
and i mean the ones where they are judged purely on playing and not on there influence of being one of the first popular lead guitarists in a huge influential band
-
http://www.hotguitarist.com/guitar_artists/guitar_players.htm
21 ahead of too many better guitarists
-
David Gilmour number 82. Under the likes of Kurt Cobain, Jack White, and Kirk Hammett. That says it all. The list is BS.
-
George Harrison
-
I can't even comment on these. Where's Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck...........I can go on and on. This is just a "minute" list..............

It's probably pointless for a guy who doesn't play to rate guitar players, but that's what I hear as well.
ouch, make sure you are real Beatles fan, because I don't even consider you as a Beatles fan. I really don't want to listen to your opinion.
Who the hell are you to say who's a "real" fan? This is a discussion forum.

Clapton performing Further On Up the Road with the Band. About 55 seconds in his guitar strap comes undone in the middle of his soloing and, effortlessly, Robbie Robertson picks it up right where he left off and proceeds to turn out some not too shabby guitar work himself. What a pro. Talk about underrated. When do you ever hear his named mentioned? But anyway, Clapton is awesome, but I feel a lot of his work has the same sort of sound to it. All bluesy and stuff.

just because he didn't smash any guitars or wasn't wild in gigs at all, George is still one of the most underrated guitarists, so and
At what point did i mention anything about having to be wild or throw guitars to be good ? thats what i was arguing that im fed up of all these lists made up with 100 guitarists that cant play well but are on there for stupid reasons that have nothing to do with how good a guitarist they are.

Why would i not be a Beatles fan because i dont rate harrison on guitar ? i dont get what youre getting at ? so if i am to be a fan of somethign i must commit to it 100 percent or not at all ?
There are folk out there who love Micheal Jacksons music but dont agree with his social antics, are they not real fans too ?.

Yeah if you look about now there a loads and loads of players playing the same old blues licks that clapton was playing back then but better and some can play faster which may not be everyones cup of tea but it makes them technically better, dont get me wrong he is a good player but would he have been as succesfull today amongst all these more proficient players and was his success down to the fact he was one of only a few white men playing blues good at that time and so is creeping into these lists purely on influence more than skill just like i feel with harrison.

no, probably you got me wrong. you just don't understand... everything is in soul not about the speed, riffs or solos. George was not the fastest one or not the riff one or not the technical one or not the solo one, but he had a deep soul in his guitar so and in his belief/religion. 21th place for George in the greatest guitarists list is very great, why you disagree with that? Kurt Cobain at 12th place, you know it? he made some of the easiest riffs ever made, he just tuned his guitar to look like he was playing very heavyish. or, Keith Richards, he's at 10th place while Jimmy Page is at 9th place? what a bullsh*t, Keith Richards is soooooooo overrated and Page is just one step higher than he? Jack White at 17th? lol pfffff!!! John Frusciante at 18th place? who the heck is he, lol? why you can't blame it on those untalented guitarists who are way higher than George? but NOOOOOOOOOO, now you have to say that George was untalented, right? give me a break, George rules!

All of my favourite guitarists play with feeling and arent technically the best, guys like John Frusciante,Hendrix..... but the question was who is better and of the four Harrison is the weakest technically and playing with sould doesnt make up for it, its all good playing with feeling but you still have to have some skill.
Hendrix is technically great and has so much feeling in his playing
Harrison is not technically great and from what i could see looked to be playing the instrument like another guitarist from the early 60's, he may have been feeling it inside but didnt express it the same way hendrix did.
Anyways Clapton,Gilmour and maybe even Townshend play with more feeling then Harrison so he still comes last imo - one of the main things about playign with feeling is just playing and seeing where the music takes you and not the other way round, Harrison played his solo's note for note the same as on his albums thats not feeling thats just a robot ;)

ouch, make sure you are real Beatles fan, because I don't even consider you as a Beatles fan.
A word of advice pal. Do not come on here and accuse anyone of not being a Beatles fan. This is a discussion forum, and everyone's views are welcome.

Eric Clapton is my favorite guitarist ever.
When he plays on his guitar he rock the world.

Jimi Hendrix's performance of the 'star spangled banner' at Woodstock proves to me how much of an amazing guitarist he is. He said so much about the Vietnam War, and every other issue going on in the world all in his guitar playing. He's not my favorite guitarist, but I can't deny the fact that he's the greatest guitarist of all time.
