Yeah but what's Petrucci's last name though, huh?
That's right, didn't think you'd know. Fucking poser.
lol
its john you igNoRaNtYGHGNB
what's Trump's last name
It’s actually “Petrucci care”
Pretty sure his name is Petrucci Bot
The fact that lil wayne is not on the list is the definition of insanity
the guy has more features in other people's songs than he has baby mamas
I can see this happening in a Far Cry 3 reboot.
"Did I tell you the definition... of insanity?
Insanity is... Lil Wayne not making it into RS's top 100 guitarists list.
That is *CRAZY*."
Also, don't forget Steven Seagal, he is as good as if not better than lil wayne
And Nick Jonas?????
Afro Lango lol

I’m starting to think that this guy thinks Alex Lifeson should be on the list
Lmao
😆🤣🤣🤣😂😆😂🤣😆
I thought you were kidding...
I needed it
92. Dimebag Darrell
That's it. This is where I draw the line.
Dimebag is a guitar god should be top 10
Dimebag is the Guitar Daddy
Disgusting
Lifeson 98...
@@gunnarkimball3676 top 3
Lol John Lennon, if they were gonna put a Beatle on there at least put George
Extreme Tea Time they did...
They did
I mean John Lennon was way better at making songs than guitar, are these people stupid?
John was a great rhythm player. One of my top 10 in terms of rhythm guitarists.
natetheguitarkid you mean number one?😢
No Taylor Swift.
Rolling Stone lets us down again.
Alvin Yakitori IF I was you I would quit trying to do comedy. Because that is one of the most embarrassing so called jokes I have ever read.
@@shspurs1342 cope
Saitama _ Thank you.
Katy Perry missing too. Between this list and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame some people might wind up hurting themselves or somebody else if they take it all too seriously.
Evets Nitram don’t get me started about Rock & Roll hall fame. I don’t no what year they started doing this. But they now have Pop, Rnb, election/dance people in it. This year Whitney Houston is now in.
C'mon. We all know Ralph Macchio is the greatest guitar player. He beat Steve Vai and freed that old black man from his deal with the devil.
Haha, that was a good one Don! :))
Ma mans did the diminished lick
Dead
this is true :`)
Gotta love the way he incorporated Mr Miyagi's karate skills in his guitar playing
Rolling Stone Magazine is 'the enemy'. They are one of the things that broke up Cream, criticized every Led Zeppelin album, and more.
Haha
And basically were behind the shitty joke of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that we have
They broke up Cream? I thought it was because Jack and Ginger weren't getting along.
@@davidnissim589 It was that too, but Rolling Stone Magazine constantly attacked the music of Cream and thus helped bring apart their end
@@pearsecobb6168 Well, now I hate them even more. They led to the demise of one of the greatest bands ever.
There is no “greatest” only people’s favourite
I like how nobody replied, cuz everyone agrees.
@@HeraclitorisScroll So are you saying you disagree hMmMmMmm?
@@d0sa149 what bout you
Actually, there is, it's called beign objectve. Jimi Hendrix is the greatest even if he's far from my favorite
@@galosniper7010 no he’s really not, lol
I feel they put Jimmy Hendrix at number 1, then randomly said whatever guitarist came to mind.
The list was based on votes by guitarists musicians and writers in the music industry.
Jimi
Mississippi kid that's a weird way to spell Jimmy Page
Wyatt G big facts
@TOMBSTONE SHADOW no
What I gained from this: he likes Rush.
LOVES* So much it made his opinions worth nothing to me. What a horrible video.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard Alex lifeson.... I'd have more money then Alex lifeson
@@thegreatcerebral If you cant see the insanity of putting Springsteen and Johnny Ramone above Alex Lifeson then your opinion means nothing to me. This is the worst list ever.
@@thegreatcerebral the list IS trash, but he can't dare say Robert Fripp was less influential than Lifeson
If I never hear Tom Sawyer by Rush again it will be too soon.
Allan Holdsworth. He completely transcended every constraint and archetype of guitar playing, and created a technical and harmonic aesthetic that 30 years later hasn't even been approached by another player.
Can't say enough about his brilliance. His harmonic innovation inspires even non guitarists.
Holdsworth for fusion, Rory Gallagher for blues, Joe Pass for jazz, Eddie Van Halen for hard rock/metal and Frank Zappa for who knows.
unfortunately playing beyond non guitar players and compositions extremely boring
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 Zappa would be for Experimental Rock and Jazz Rock i guess.
Its a fucking diversity list. Let's just fucking say it.
Rolling Stone have a history of panning great bands until they get huge, then they're all over them. This list was put together for the sake of controversy and to get lots of shares
There are still some bands that are big bands that Rolling Stone despises such as Rush and Queen.
**Zenobia** rush was bashed for sounding like zeppelin. I personally don’t think they sounded anything close to them.
Oh yes, I love how Mike gets progressively more angry throughout the video. Mike turns getting mad into a work of art.
....and this is why I subscribe to Mike 😆😂
That’s why I only aspire to make him mad
Mad Mike is a great form of entertainment in my saturday afternoons
As much as i disagree with Mike almost all the time, seeing Mike get angry will never not be entertaining.
Do I see *progressive*
There's an agreement that lil Wayne is the best guitar player!
You mean Camila Cabello, right ?
#1
*cringe*
Not best guitar player but the bestest, most genuine artist in entire universe!
@@pajmic666 EXACTLY! Thank you !
Guthrie govan, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Greg Howe, Jeff Loomis, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci...and so on.
Michael Romeo. That guy's a beast!
Greg Howe is a monster!
"James Hetfield would only ever so slightly have an edge influence-wise over Alex Lifeson"
Surely everybody else watching this disagreed HARD with that statement, right?
That list lost all its credibility when they didn’t even have Gary Moore in the top 100
YES was literally gonna comment this. Easily one of the most slept upon guitarists ever. The dude could play hard rock eg Over The Hills And Far Away and then switched to a blues rock eg Still Got The Blues. I doubt that many guitarists could play both genres as masterfully as he did.
this is Rolling Stoned, they lost credibility decades ago lol
My favourite guitar player of all time. Love that man and the way he speaks with the guitar!
Gary Moore should be at least in the top 20.
Was gonna comment this but found yours! Oh Gary Moore. Rip
This video consists of "dont get me wrong" "ALEX LIFESON" and "BUT at number..."
lol
Also angrily screaming "This makes no sense"
dude Ritchie Blackmore penned smoke on the water which is probably still the most instantly recognizable opening riff ever. He fkn invented heavy metal alongside with Iommi and Page
@Timothy Lee ur correct, but neither was the guy in the video i would say
@@kipwilliamson5737 agreed but hard to denie blackmores influence
@@kipwilliamson5737 no more than RB. Dude created heavy/ power metal single handedly pretty much. Also technically destroys iommi n page
@@kipwilliamson5737 Not fair to say "they are good guitarists" as if Ritchie is not. I enjoy the blackmore's night stuff even if it is not metal or heavy. He can play.
@@chrisadams4467 okay okay Ritchie is fine.
I laughed at a list that had no angus young but had skrillex
Rolling Stone was roasting Rush's ass back in the 70's, so let's not take their thoughts too seriously.
They also released a magazine about 4 yrs ago that I sadly bought with Cobain on the front of it. I thought it would bring up all the Seattle bands of the 90s. Nope! All it bought up was Nirvana,Pearl Jam,Green Day,Biggie Smalls,and Tupac. No AiC,No Soundgarden,No Tad,or Melvins. I thought it was really gonna bring up some more Seattle bands.
+Ryan Kirk Tad is amazing. I discovered them through Peter Bagge cartoons.
@@LordofDiamondsMetal Yeah,Tad is awesome! I'm surprised they're not a more talked about band in the Sludge Metal community. At least I count them as Sludge Metal.
Tyler Bailey Rolling Stone magazine is the equivalent of the toilet paper I use to wipe my ass: At the end of the day, they’re both covered in shit!
They also trashed led zeppelin's first couple albums as well.
My top 3 Guitarists:
Lil Wayne
Nick Jonas
Madonna
They inspired me to not be great at guitar. 👌
4. Fred Durst
This list is terrible, Shawn Mendes got completely snubbed
After watching them play I THOUGHT I was a great guitarist! Lol!
I think It would have been funny if Herman Li was on the list. 1 song that everyone knows, rolling stones just like " yep that's good enough for me."
Roy M.B. Johnny Depp
I love the Beatles but John Lennon on this list is really absurd.
I mean he really wasn't that great at the guitar but he did come up with some really iconic riffs
@@jordanraney581 Maybe it’s not so absurd.
@@jordanraney581 That's being a composer, not a guitarist.
@@jordanraney581 Then he was a great songwriter. This is a list for the greatest guitarists.
The problem with those lists is criteria. If you go by both influence AND technical ability you messed up.
Rolling Stone is for boomers who think music was better "back in my day" and young people who think they were "born in the wrong generation".
My filthy friend. It is good to see you
I’d even disagree with this, Rolling Stone is for no one, they criticised the boomer’s music too
Well the quality of music is in a decline, there are still so many great underrated guitar players around today.
lol They chose Bob Dylan as best album of "2006" and U2 for "2014".
See, I'd identify with the last one, but still I can appreciate the new stuff for what it is and honestly I don't know who the fuck is still buying the Rolling Stone after the all the shit lists and controversial criticism they've made in the past decades.
The reason David Gilmour sounds so good
1) Tone
2) Not sloppy at all
3) Note Choice
4)One of the finest bending skills out there.
@Thisis Fun Ah, yes, constant sweeps and tapping are much more interesting :D
@Thisis Fun Listen to the Comfortably Numb solo, if you don't feel it you're not human.
Anyway, you're probably just a troll.
@@frankk.9834 The greatest Gilmour trait is phrasing. Although all of his traits are great.
Great player of course, but he's not sloppy cuz he doesn't play fast. Haha. (Btw im not a fan of mindless shredding i.e. Michaelangelo Batio) But, the rest of the points on spot on.
@@Lord_Raptor go watch vesuvius live and tell me he doesn't play fast. He is clean because he started studying with blues and jazz, the latter of which requires a very clean firm to properly play even just the basic chords of.
Robert Fripp is probably one of the most overlooked guitarists.
100% agreed. Especially his guitar work with David Bowie. Good shit.
Yep
he's a more cerebral player but he's more creative and innovative than almost everyone else on this list. Him being a more cerebral player is probably why he's overlooked in rock circles lol.
He made the list just not sure where.I was glad Fripp and Zappa were on it.
Frank F Where was Zappa? I missed it!
Metal guitar should be its own category. The reason "all guitarist" lists don't work is because the criteria for different music genres is just different.
Yeah for sure genres are a huge issue here. How do you compare Paco de Lucia to John Petruuci? It's like comparing Franz Lizt to John Coltrane. The styles are so different that it's like comparing people using different instruments.
Heck, I'm starting to feel bad I didn't make the list.
Take a drink everytime he says Alex Lifeson
Too drunk to tap the thumbs up...🐐
I now have no higher brain function
Jimi Hendrix. Couldn’t read music, taught himself backwards, could do a load of tricks that would impress and stun the crowds, but because he couldn’t read music he expressed his music through feelings and artistic decisions, and I’ll take that over technical proficiency any day. And his career was only 4 years long and what he did in those 4 years are astronomical to how people observe, listen to and play the guitar and 50+ years later he’s still revered. That’s why, for me, he’s the best.
he died when he was 4 , damn bro, RIP
him and Stevie Ray Vaughn are the best for me
Firstly, not being able to read music is not a feature. Secondly, I would estimate the vast majority of musicians in the world are unable to read music.
Its like getting the math question right even though you didn't do it the way the teacher taught you. If it's right, it's right.
Groin Strain I say Hendrix is number 1 simply because all other top guitarist say he is number 1.
Most influential guitarists.
1950s buddy holly and chuck berry.
1960s eric clapton and jimmy page.
1970s david gilmour and steve jones.
1980s van halen and slash.
1990s johnny greenwood.
2000s jack white.
2010s john mayer.
2020s steve terryberry
2030s lil wayne jr.
2040s apple (virtual guitarist created by apple labs).
2050s A.N.C.I.P. (algorythym created by skynet)
2060s django van knopfler (cloned from D.N.A)
2070s N/A clone wars begin.
2080s darth mustaine
2090s N/A human extinction begins
3000s ?
Edit.
1960s eric clapton and George harrison
1970s david gilmour and jimmy page(sorry steve)
The extinction took 900 years to complete.
In the year 3000 a clone simply known as ?
will take the world by storm with its three handed
tapping-while-sweep-picking technique.
I hope this addresses some of the issues people had
with my account of the future of guitar playing.
clive pell That was hilarious 😂
Darth Mustaine hahahaha
Harrison is just as influential as page
Jimi Hendrix in the 60s, Jimi page in 70s
this comment deserves more likes
Missing Vernon Reid, Ron Thal, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Phil Collen, Reb Beach, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Uli Roth....
And they are missing Terry kath
Cc deville imo
*Johnny Ramone gets ranked*
Mike:
*Screams in Alex Lifeson*
Haha nice, Alex Lifeson is such an underrated guitarist.
If there are people who think that Johnny Ramone is not a great guitarist they are total ignorants and nothing else. His influence on rock and metal guitar is incomparable!
Influence is only one aspect of greatness, that’s what the first 8 minutes of the video are about.
@@FrogWalrus
"Influence is only one aspect of greatness, that’s what the first 8 minutes of the video are about."
Whats the other aspect? The ability to play? :O
If that was the case you wouldn't have any rock/metal guitarist on the list.
Because you know Flamenco, Classical, Jazz etc... guitar players are superior to rock/metal players just from objective standpoint when it comes to techniques.
@@greatdude7279 "Because you know Flamenco, Classical, Jazz etc... guitar players are superior to rock/metal players just from objective standpoint when it comes to techniques."
That's a blatantly false statement.
I find your lack of Steve Vai *Disturbing*
Steve Howe from yes: virtuoso, a master of electric and acoustic, technically precise. Nobody was as diverse of a player as at high of a level as he was. Also inspired all of prog rock and current shredders. Also voted best guitar player from 1977-1981 in guitar player magazine, first inducted into guitar player hall of fame. Yet, doesn’t seem to crack the list lmao
Most importantly, a virtuoso in a good way, meaning creative, a player who plays the right notes, instead of ALL the notes, as if the guy was in a circus act.
I don’t think Steve Hackett wasn’t on there either
Steve Hackett was superior and didn't make it either
@@brunomantovaneli6076 Superior? How?
He may not be the most technical player but I am definitely glad that Harrison came as high as he did. He is not better than Gilmour but it takes talent to play the way he did. Every melody he played is uniquely suited to the song he is playing on and I believe that he was the only one who could have played for the Beatles.
This is what this video misses. The solo in Something isn’t technically tough to play but he fucking wrote it, the tone is immaculate and it is succinct so complements the song. A lot of the “better guitarists” would have killed it dead with a self wanking solo.
Take a shot every time he says ‘Alex Lifeson’
As Andy Cohen would say, "If you've been playing our drinking game, no driving for you!"
I got alcohol poisoning 10 minutes in.
He does that in most videos
Damn you beat me to it.
Sometimes Stevie Ray Vaughan misses out on these lists and it makes me sad
Rory Gallagher is NEVER included and I'd argue he's more influential and at least as proficient as SRV
Good. Cause SRV is high as #12. Gallagher, though, is at #57.
Agree i am 100% metal/rock guitarist shredder but i think SRV is one of the best alltime
i have to put SRV at a close second to Jimi
He was on this one.
I think if i had to write this list I would have to include Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Shawn Lane (RIP), Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, John Petrucci, Tosin Abasi, Paul Waggoner, Tim Henson, Misha Mansoor, Justin Lowe (RIP), Guthrie Govans, Jeff Loomis, and Keith Merrow.
Not in any particular order but Buckethead would have to be #1 for me.... 306 studio albums while being able to write such incredibly heart felt music and then get down to weird funky and technical playing, hybrid playing (he calls it chicken picken) slap guitar, his weird ass 4 finger "nubbing", star wars sounds 😂 I just absolutely love buckethead and not seeing him get enough recognition anywhere really sucks. but he'll be a legend along with Shawn Lane and Paul Gilbert
Thank you, someone finally says Misha Mansoor. The guy’s music writing and technique are fucking smooth.
I agree with the Johnny Ramone statement, mainly because the Ramones themselves said this. They admitted that they didn't know how to play good at all in their early days, and that by the time they did learn the "we don't know what we're doing" stuff had become their iconic sound and calling card.
I absolutely love how much of this is “why are all these people ranked higher than Alex Lifeson?”
Matthordika damn right too😂
imagine not having buckethead lmao
Sorry, I can imagine it.
And they put Eric fucking Clapton in the top ten. Ridiculous.
@@LordofDiamondsMetal he was a game changer along with Hendrix in the late 60s
+Xander Mohan I know that he was a big influence. However, his guitar playing is limited to 12-bar chord progressions and blues scales, and thus is nothing special.
Buckethead is a great guitatists these humans can't understand his greatness.
Loved it! Hearing your frustration rise as you made your way down the list. I had a similar response years ago to some rag's 50 Greatest Guitar Solos list.
To be honest I think Chuck Schuldiner should most definitely be on the list. He filled all three of the criterea with flying colors. His playing and songwriting influenced extreme metal and extreme metal guitarists in an unbelievable way.
His name is Alex lifeson
His name is Alex lifeson
Alexandar Zivojinovich
@@manhattanmike6959 Which basically means Alex Lifeson. Živojinović means "Son of Life" in Serbian.
Yes that is 100 percent correct I actually learned this from the trailer park boys lol
Robert paulson*
@@rabihbourji2069 YESS I THOUGHT THAT Too, fight club is such a movie
The fact that Mark Tremonti isnt on the list is criminal
Truly one of the greatest guitarists of the 21st Century. It's a shame that people seem to just label him as "The Guy From Creed", his work in Alter Bridge, Tremonti and even Creed is proof alone how amazing of a player he truly is
@@jacktyler3492 anytime I hear one of his solos on an AB album, I can feel the emotion from the lyrics being played out from his guitar. He has the ability to tell stories with his playing. Truly a once in a lifetime talent. Horribly underrated.
@@daglacier97colt absolutely, Blackbird especially, and even Dying Light on the new album, he's always figuring out ways to make his solos sound fresh, even if sometimes it's a similar formula to how some other songs are. Truly shows what great musicians everyone in Alter Bridge and Tremonti are
@@jacktyler3492 agreed
Agreed
No Tommy Emmanuel either, I mean Eric Clapton said he was one of the best guitarists he's ever heard 🤷♂️
His brother Phil has more place on this list than most of the guitarists on there as well.
Thank you for the Jeff Beck love and knocking Johnny Ramone down a peg
Always makes me happy to see the Ramones get brought down to Earth lmao
I agree with those who say Jeff can play one note and that's it... doesn't even need a whole song to show his awesomeness.
I'm a massive punk fan and even I don't think Jonny Ramone deserves to be on that list. There's way more innovative and influential, and even skilled, guitar players within the punk genre that deserved his place on that list.
I had to laugh when I read a "Greatest" list that had Kurt Cobain and not Steve Vai.
He could write songs but he was a sloppy player
Real sloppy player, but creative and could seriously write a song. I think he's more inspirational more than "greatest". Greatest frontman or most inspirational, for sure but greatest guitarist? hnng
@@acidchurch7619 "sloppy" is being kind.
That's because Vai sucks. Not listenable or interesting in the least.
Sweet toof so u can’t play his stuff then
Satriani thaught kirk Hammet and steve Vai how to play guitar F.F.S. Like that is not enough influence for them!
Samuel Lamothe Alex Skolnick too
@@frankf684 I did'nt knew that, makes him even more worthy of being on the list!
They left out Steve Lukather, who is not only a versatile player with technicality in a wide range of genres, but he’s contributed to literally thousands of albums as a session musician, including Thriller by Michael Jackson. He’s the most recorded guitarist ever, and if you listen to a famous pop-rock song from the 70’s or 80’s, chances are that Lukather was on it.
It shouldn’t even be a list. It should just be “these are 100 guitarists in no order”
I think that's the point of the video. I'm not a guitar player I'm just a fan. The guy on this vid obviously plays and knows more than me, but I agree with him. The real issue is, what is the list graded on? There is no standard to justify what they did.
I stopped reading the article when they had randy Rhoads at 36
The Grim Racer8 Amen
The Grim Racer8 I stopped when I found out Kurt cobain was higher then Dimebag Darrel
Wtf where they thinking not putting him at least top 10
Mach 1 you mean #1
They put Randy Fucking Rhoads lower than Kurt Cobain. And no Tosin or Trivium, or hell, Synyster Gates?
I am by no means an expert, but wasn’t Ritchie Blackmore fairly influential to hard rock and heavy metal? Or Deep Purple as a whole?
dear stalin, blackmore is a god
according to Steve Vai,he were
Yeah I think he’s wrong on the Blackmore part. Could have been top 20
Absofuckinglutely but let's not leave Kurt Cobain out of the list, nobody could play a chord like him...LOL
Edwin Dantes there should be no Punk rock Guitarists in this list what so ever. None of them are anywhere near good enough.
not even Synester Gates and he's got technicality and very influential, basically any guitarist under 25 is somehow inspired by him.
im in my 40s and I know how great he is. Hiss jazz improv shit is pretty sick too.
I am in my 50’s and I know Gates is a superb player. Love the melodic solos he plays.
Man he’s so badass, after listening to all the avenged sevenfold solos and the one in comfortably numb I had to get into guitar, just such gorgeous sounding music
Synester gates is my favourite guitarists of all time
As a 13 year old guitar player I can say I am amazed by Synyster Gates
Buckethead should be on this list
Eric Johnson should totally be on here! Underrated, brilliant, and progressive player. I mean just listen to Cliffs Of Dover or his work when he was just 16 with Mariani. That alone should land him a place on the list.
Do u know his boss blues cube capsules didn't sell half as well even if he was 160 yrs old ???? U via musicom speaking trying to come out off ya trousers ???????
wait wtf Eric Johnson isn't on it?
@@benparsons4979 Yes. And Gary Moore isn't on it.
@@metramaks jeez that's dumb
@@KUDGHAT1 yes 👍🏻 you’re right. Eric Johnson No buddy mention he’s name on. The list
Wait a sec, isn't Jim Morrison the greatest guitar player of all time?
Could be
He's a xylophone player smh
Nope that's big bird brother
no it's Mick Jagger
You all forgot how good Robert Plant was.
Its always gonna be Stevie Ray Vaughn #1 to me. The man is just on another level
Poor man’s Hendrix
Respectable, but for me it's always going to be Hendrix
Vaughan*
Yeah I agree. Don't see how technically anyone can be better. And I don't even like blues...just being truthful.
I never realised how good he was and then I heard “scuttle buttin” and was like….okay I get it now
Love your enthusiasm.
Honestly, you should make your own list of who you think the 100 best guitarists are in response to this
1. Steve vai
2. Steve pai
3. Steve vai in a moustache
4. Mexican steve vai
5. Steven vai
6. ...
That's a lot of work for him...He is too lazy to do that
Jess Murphy Zappa then Vai 😀
69th like
i always differentiate favorite and best, my favorite is Gilmour, but best is Steve Vai for me
I can respect that 🤘
Gilmour's my favorite as well.
Favorite is Oli Herbert best imo is Jason Richardson
@@kad0877 Jason is from another planet entirely. Some of his solos (ua-cam.com/video/41WRlzkyLYM/v-deo.html !!!) have blown my mind in a way that only classical stuff like Rachmaninoff or Liszt usually do, and while I thought his musical taste was sometimes lacking a few years ago, he hasn't ceased improving in that regard since and I just keep liking him more and more
Also, for the record, let's not forget that there's no Eric Johnson on this list either...........................
Gilmore forsure! Was he even on the list??
Love Your unusual comments and analysis. Want to her more from You, so I subscribed.
Well done sir!!
hey lets not forget that Rolling Stone mag said led zepplin was over rated
since their 3th album they werent for anyone anymore
Rengar Main what
Led Zeppelin made good music that other people made 20 years before.
Sick Randy u could make the argument that the first two albums were heavily influenced by older blues artists but the shit they did with production techniques and influence is insane. Everything after their first 2 was absolutely revolutionary
@@sickrandy2946 ayyyyyyyyy lmao they covered songs and with the cover they were better lets take dazed and confused the original only has this falling baseline in it and literally 2 lyrical lines xD
Glenn Tipton is my absolute favorite guitarist ever.
Glenn Tipton is definitely missing out big time, Tipton should be in the top 100 EASILY.
Glenn tipton Adrian Smith Dave Murray KK Downing.
Dimebag is extremely influential as is Pantera to the metal guitar community. Its tough to compare levels of influence though.
So happy you mentioned Satch!! And Vai!!!
I really like Jerry Cantrell as guitar player and as a singer
I think Jerry Cantrell is amazing, I believe he deserves a spot.
He has to be one of the most influential guitar players. Maybe it’s just me. But there’s something about the sound of his riffs that sound so simple that you think you could play them, but are also so badass at the same time. He’s the reason I picked up a guitar.
I argue ppl like him are musician first and guitarist second. In my world that is all I care for.
jakeybball its not just you
The fact that Steve Howe isn't on the list is disturbing
😭😭😭😭😭
Yes. Howe is very skilled.
Or terry kath
@THE OUTLAW or me...
Yes! Finally someone who calls Howe. He should be at least in the top 5...
What video was it when you watched youtubers review music, and you would say what made their reviews so good/bad (for example how long it took them to get to the point of their video etc) I can't find the video
I think this is my favorite Mike vid
If Richard Benson, Madonna or Lil Wayne aren’t number one, i’m going to flip!!
And gucci mane, all should be number 1 no questions asked
Kinda disappointed mike’s nephew wasn’t on the list
People need to stop making fun of Richard Benson. There’s a video on YT explaining his whole back story. It’s actually extremely sad. I’d suggest you watch it. After I saw it I was really bugged by Stevie Ts video on it
RJA99 9 I know of his disability. I was just going in on the joke.
EzioMonty117 I know, it’s just most people don’t know and it’s frustrating as hell. I mean I have a lot of respect for him that he never gave up on his passion for music and guitar and before it all he was actually a very good player
George Harrison is a way better guitarist than John Lennon
I agree
I'm pretty sure George was a lot higher in the list than John.
And Paul was better than both of them
junkersish Paul was not better than George
Become The Knight okay at least they got that right 😂
LOVE THIS VIDEO I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
In jazz there's a Charlie Hunter, who plays jazz with baritone 8 string guitar. It can't get more modern than that i believe. I know he's started recording albums somewhere in 90s, but still i think it proves the point that there a few new jazz guitarists.
Didn't Johnny Ramone say in an interview that his whole style of playing is based off "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeppelin?
jcjohncarter3 I wouldn’t surprised if I found that interview in which he made that quote.
Wow, just one of the easiest and shortest Zeppelin songs
Page too limited guitarist n can't jam same as Dave Murray ......... any bugger any doubts ????
No fucking wonder I thought of that song while listening to them the other day...
Alex lifeson's gotta be high up there yeah ?
#98 .. ok then
He's atleast top 10 for me, lol
@@henriktheonly3874 same, as well as geddy lee for best bass player
@@Hevvvyyy Oh, Geddy's 1#
That’s exactly what I said lol
I shit you not he was the first person I thought of before anyone on the list was said and I didn’t think he’d be super high up but I was more than surprised to here him be so low, I was like what the fuck??
I’m so happy that you acknowledged Jason Becker at the end. It’s so sad he isn’t on this list. He’s my personal guitar hero.
Cacophony speed metal symphony not dead yet if he was healthy enough to your with Roth he would have the same exposure as Steve vai.
Let me real quick name a few people who should be on the list (shred)
Jason Becker
John petrucci
Steve vai
Tosin abasi
Joe satriani
Misha mansoor
Paul Gilbert
Jason Richardson
Michael Angelo batio
Kirk hammet
Ywingie malmsteen
Mart Friedman
And lil Wayne
Dimebag and Alex Lifeson in the 90's on this list... that's when i stopped reading this list.
Chuck Schuldiner isn't on the list
THAT'S A YIKES FROM ME BRO
Eh hey you mentioned my number 1 on my list
Chuck shuldiner is by far the utter most virtuosity...
His guitar mastercraftism was far beyond lots of guitarist skills... In a way of uniqueness...
@Emperor Pepe Flavius Memus even a mainstream top 1000 doesn't have Chuck on the list...
chuck was fucking brilliant and im not a massive death metal guy
I appreciate Chuck's all around ability as a guitarist and composer. He's a relative unknown in the grand scheme of rock music so it doesn't surprise me that he wouldn't be on the list. Plus if you breakdown all the guitar players over the past 70-80 years, including those in the classical/flamenco styles, I think it would be generous to consider him in the top 100.
This is coming from someone that has been listening to Death since the mid 90's and they are by far my favorite metal band of all time.
In terms of influence and ability Chuck should probably warrant a spot. tbh hadn't even thought about Chuck until you mentioned him. As with all these lists, it's what music speaks to you most I suppose. Vai, Satriani, Hendrix are all technically superb but the music doesn't say shit to me. My list would have John Butler, Petrucci, Mustaine, Iron Maiden and Judas Priests guitarists for really setting the metal tone, Angus, and most importantly the amazing Dave Gilmour for composition and perfection over virtuosity as well as sheer influence over the entire prog and rock genres.
Terry Kath of Chicago was missing from these RS lists. He needs more recognition.
I agree with you. Good analysis.
Jeff Beck is well placed at number 5, his tone when he was in the Yardbirds would inspire hundreds of rock guitarists to come...
and clearly not as good as the out of time out of tune Keith Richards
Obviously danny devito is the greatest guitar player of all time, I mean, no ones ever seen him play so you can't prove me wrong.
He plays the guitar with his Magnum Dong
@@vassilyvodka2638 of course he even uses a monster condom
All i care about is where they rank Alex Lifeso OH GODDAMNIT!
My top 3 are
1. Ace frehley= not the most technical player, but had so many memorable solos, killer riffs, amazing song writer, and gained a strong emotional feel with the crowd, had so much hidden talent and can be up there with guys like Steve vai and Eddie Van Halen if he showcased the depth of his amazing skills, and is the guy who made me a guitar player!!
2. Dave Murray= very underrated guitar player, wrote so many memorable and long story telling lyrics, so many intricate and badass licks and solos, definitely I would consider a technical player, one of my big inspirations!!
3. Eddie Van Halen= without a doubt one of the greatest of all time, such a technical player, amazing technique, some of the greatest songs of all time, an amazing showman, and again of of my biggest inspirations
When you said No 92 dimebag Darrel bruh I legit gasped
Too low or too high in your eyes?
Page and Gilmour 🤘🏼
Yes!
Bit harsh on jack white. Seven nation army is basically the reason my generation found interest in the guitar in the first place
SIMBETAM ! ball and biscuit is a masterpiece, he’s underrated in my opinion
@Vlad the Inhaler yeah ik
@@kaomatic agreed hes got a really distinctive play style and is one of the very few guitar players that actually make it into the charts nowadays
WHAT?!? What generation is that? That’s a baseless fucking claim. He’s not Kurt Cobain. He didn’t inspire a movement or something.
I'm most shocked by the fact that Tommy Emmanuel wasn't even mentioned
Rory Gallagher is my favorite
Definitely in my top 15
Died too soon
Yes! The G man had the technic, songwriting, stage presence and unique playing style. And so many musicians considered him as an influence.
@@kurtrusselltownmassacre6802 bullfrog blues is probably my favorite song of all time
Yess!
Man, Bruce Springsteen is probably my favorite artist of all time, but he has absolutely no business being on a top 100 guitarists list, especially above Lerxst. That's insane.
Steven Van Zandt should be on the list instead.
And they left off Nils Lofgren and Steve Van Zandt😂
Springsteen wasn’t even the e-st. Band’s best guitarist
That's what I was thinking.
True!
That list was a joke, remember literally laughing when I pages through the list. However, I do agree with Hendrix being #1. Loved the Lerxt love cause he deserves it !!
And what about Clarence Gatemouth Brown huh ? He not only wrote his music and lyrics ( sure he had some contributions) but he used his axe to slice and cut every word and note to perfection with a clarity and sharpness. I saw him in concert and was blown away by his humanity. He was on the floor , meaning : watching the opening band like a spectator. My sister said " There's Clarence " . . I said " I'm going to ask him to sing it" I walked up to him and told him how much it would mean to me and my sister to hear it. She went up to him too , with the same request. Guess what ? The last song he played was "I Wonder " as my sister and I had requested. .He said this one goes out to Crystal and Diana two sisters. I cried and danced with my sis. Thank you Clarence. Years later in Portland OR for another Clarence concert, I did not know that my sister was there. He was playing a steel accoustic " Unchained melody" it made me cry so I went to the ladies room to breakdown and compose myself. Who should walk out of a stall ? My sister ! We had not talked for months , she said are you OK honey ? I turned around to see my sister and cried even harder. I composed we went back to Clarence but SAT together. We yelled out ' I Wonder' know what, he said " Yeah I know you're out there " but he didn't sing it. And that is alright with me.
Steve Vai, one of the most influential guitarist on the younger generation in you're opinion
said this about Brian May "I can listen to any player and pantomime their sound," Steve Vai said, "but I can't do Brian May. He's just walking on higher ground."

Flawless.
What do you think of Omar Rodriguez of Mars Volta? Playing stuff from At the drive-in to complex stuff in Mars Volta as well as other bands.
