Who Is The Best Current Guitar Player?

[HoboFactory]

Although the thing about Megaherz is that members have been changed many times since they were founded in the early 90's, presently I think none of the members at all are the original ones. So it's hard to be certain whether it's his playing or not on a given song.

[borntohula]

well ok, ill check allmusic for an album that he is credited to being a part of.

[HoboFactory]

Go for the album "Herzwerk II" (2002)

[Mr.Domino]

I nominate Ross Childress of Collective Soul fame, his licks made that band... and now that he's gone, they're broken.

I have grown to hate Dave Genn. And that's just as a person. Any decent player could have been in his position.

 

 

 

 

Mike from Incubus

Adam from Killswitch Engage

Daron Malakian for sure and David Gilmour, and I dont care if hes not quite relevant anymore.

[BaconFacedWilson]

Without a doubt Mark Knopfler and Neil Young is a great gutairest too and doesn't get nearly enough credit he deserves

[RhysOttawa]

JOHN 5... crazy stuff, blues, jazz, metal, rock, etc.

I want to let you all know I wasn't exactly serious when I said Dave Genn. You can all return from the edge of your seats. Thankyou.

[Mark? Excellent.]

Kaki King. Easy.

Why not? His guitar leads were great. Matt Good is worse off without him. And whoever said his guitar stuff was half the reason they became a fan, that goes for me too. When you're in highschool, you want to hear intense guitar music or whatever, and the Genn/Good combo provided that for me atleast.

Of course his guitar playing was awesome, but I'm not gonna say he's the best current guitarist in the world? I mean, that's what this thread is about isn't it?
