  • My Picks For My Top 5 Guitarists Of All Time
    In this video I want to talk about my picks for my top 5 guitarists of all time. This isn’t a video saying who are the best guitarists of all time. I don’t believe that’s a useful conversation and I believe it’s impossible to compare guitarists or any musicians in that way. What makes someone the best guitarist? Is it technical ability? Artistry? Influence? Speed? Originality? None of those things are possible to quantify. So this video is really about the guitarists who have had the most influence on me. Especially when I was first learning or when I was learning new skills and techniques.

    Who are your top 5 guitarists?

    • @dabullzfan25
      @dabullzfan25 4 роки тому

      (Can't play to save my life) My Top 5
      1. Pete Townshend
      2. James Burton
      3. Chuck Berry
      4. John Fogerty
      5. Jesse Ed Davis/Roger Miller

      1. Eddie Van Halen - technical proficiency married to musicality, his rhythm parts on the early VH albums are the real jewels, and more than that, the joy he exhibited when playing made me want to expand from acoustic to electric as a teenager.
      2. Mark Knopfler - incredible touch and melodic playing, superb compositional skills.. my vote for best all-around rock guitar player of all time.
      3. Geoff Farina - unsurpassed tone, great ear for using voice leading in rhythm parts, novel marriage of indie and jazz guitar.
      4. Thurston Moore - great compositional skills and unique ability to create guitar soundscapes (often with a minimum of effects and gain) that are always making their own melodic contributions. Listening to The Diamond Sea for the first time was the single most affecting event for me as a guitar player - it instantly changed my perception of what could and should be done with a guitar. And yes, Lee deserves a mention here, too.
      5. James Taylor - his hybrid Travis picked style and blues influences made his style iconic.. anyone that plays this style of Travis picking immediately sounds like him, and I've been learning from his songs from when I started 20+ years ago till today.

    Paco de Lucia is my favorite of all time. These days I listen mostly to jazz guitar and flamenco guitar and in those genres the level of musicianship is so high I almost feel vulgar making lists. Interesting video and I love your music theory and music reading videos..your'e a gifted teacher (and excellent guitarist)

    • @krob8388

    I stopped the video to read the names. Who are the "and more" guitarists?
    I really appreciate all of your teaching videos. Kudos. They are very well done. Thank you for putting them on your UA-cam channel.

    I used to listen to Mr Carlos Santana and Mr Eric Clapton Solos in his songs when I didn't know anything about Guitar, it was just music! After I started learning to play Guitar I have listened to Mr Django Reinhardt, Mr Tommy Emmanuel, Mr Martin Taylor, Mr Clapton, Mr David Gilmore. Recently I was searching for top Guitarist I found Mr John Mayer, co incidentally on the same day his Guitar Teacher Mr Fujita had posted a Video, so I got to know more about him I watch videos and listen to Mr Mayer, after watching his concert along with the masters of Blues music Mr BB king and Mr Buddy Guy are my recent favourites 😊 I liked what you played of Mr Mayer and Mr Steve Ray Vaughan. Thank you so much 😊Your theory lessons are excellent!

    There are countless talented Guitarists, but the one that Stands out in my mind is an almost unknown Brazilian
    name Naudo Rodrigues, if not for youtube I would never have heard about this genius of the Guitar, he has more
    than 160 youtube videos, playing Cover of well known Songs, for those who haven't heard or see him play, check
    him out on youtube,
    there are so many Guitarists that I personally like, I really couldn't Choose my top 5, but this guy Naudo Rodrigues
    is on a different level.

  • @JimHabash
    @JimHabash 7 місяців тому

    My fave that influenced me top 5 Phil Keaggy, Rik Emmett, Ty Tabor, Jimmy Page, Joe Pass. If you want to hear superb jazz trio song lookup Joe Pass " a foxy chick and a cool cat" just chock full of chordal lead, with riffs and great voicings.
