irregardless Was thinking the exact thing

Hardly. The opposite it seems to me.

@@asegal4677u know who the bass player and drummer is right

⁠@@asegal4677it’s 3 Aristocrats to Vai and Satch.

There's nothing wrong with debating as long as people stay civil. Saying this guitar player is the best and everyone else fucking sucks is just dumb and selfish, of course. But there is nothing wrong with claiming your favorite guitar player, with another person claiming theirs, while comparing and contrasting the guitar players flaws and strengths; you might actually learn something and find a new favorite artist if you keep an open mind. I debate with my friends all the time about our favorite guitar album, and we just end up listening to all the records and explore them together. Just because people have a difference of opinions doesn't mean there is hate involved. A healthy amount of competitiveness is what makes our people and our country great; we must push each other to be better.

Jay Miguel It's not hard to understand at all. G3 is always about technical proficiency (and music of course), so comparisons are inevitable. I would argue that discussions of technical proficiency pretty much demand comparisons. I agree though that it is pointless trying to identify who is 'the best' in a holistic sense. FWIW, I think Guthrie is the all-rounder with more tricks up his sleeve than most, but the fact that he is not as well-known for his compositions as Satch and Vai are tells you something. To be fair though, he only has one solo album.

Jay Miguel Amen

What I noticed was how much Guthrie was enjoying how well Steve and Joe work together. They have this thing so well covered and yet Guthrie's input fitted in perfect.

@@Kweesh that is because he immitates others without establishing his own craft. he can play all music flawlessly but he lacks the power to make his own music that could struck the hearts of other people besides the music circle .

m45jr YEA he is.

mr5jr was thinking about that. haha

I think he sounds better than Vai actually. LOL!

mr5jr everyone's having a good time!

@Bjorn Ironsides you didn't pay shit, bitch. You got the video for free. So stop complaining.

and Govan is Govan? :)

Sure they would. Beck, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, May, all would have been around if Hendrix wasn't. And everyone else would have been as well. Plenty of guitar players don't owe a lot to Hendrix.

Dan D Being able to play everything isn’t the be all and end all, none of these can play with feel of Hendrix or write the same songs or sing like him . Although they are amazing at what they do they won’t be as well renowned as Hendrix.

Dan D you need to understand the patterns and evolution of music dude. Hendrix was around during the time where it was all about pushing blues licks to the max, getting the most you can put of the 1-4-5. But he also went beyond that with really creative songs progression and lyric wise. He's personally made me get lost in the crevice of my own mind and imagination when I close my eyes and listen to Hendrix. I never criticize anyone on their opinion but you really pissed me off, bc I feel like you're trying to be a little crap by talking down on Hendrix on a Hendrix song post. Pay respect where it's due man, all those greats you mentioned respected the fuck out of Hendrix. Bc that's just what you do, any musician getting up to play for u instantly deserves respect bc that's not easy man, they're opening themselves up for u in hopes that you'll enjoy it. Anyway, these days the thing is to make any fuckin noise you can on the guitar, the weirder the better. Which is awesome all theee of these guys rock!!! But they wouldn't exist if someone didn't take the first step into playing as fast as they can for a change and focusing far more on technique as opposed to feel. Which honestly has always annoyed me, it's always sounded like they're were trying too hard. Now I feel like it's finally become balanced with melodic approach and awesome other world technique. Players evolve from other players, they don't just pop out of nowhere u turd. Overall just quit being a fuckin bitch and don't fuck with Hendrix on any post friend, I will find u.... and I will reply long as fuck again....

fkeke

Wadsmitter I listened. Doesn't affect what I wrote. I stand with my position.

Roberto Passos young one lol the dude is 46

You are absolutely right about Joe!

Haha that's utter bollocks

@@gjazzbb6305 Agreed. Guthrie's was unparalleled.

And solos the others in G3 always forget about the songs they are playing and have a wank fest instead actually follow in the feel of the songs and chords. I've never been to a G3 concert becuase of that. Ego stroking for the rest of them.

​@@daviddorrian5349 what about Eric Johnson ?

the Stockholm version is also amazing

i agree with that clapton comment

Clapton's a great musician....he could have been relevant even if he didn't play lead, he still had great song writing and phrasing.

Clapton below average? OMFG close the internet.

GoDvan

Clapton is alive!!! Gut gives the prolonge to the guitar in 21st ry.. it is like box, you can never hold the title, but, if you really good, the New gen will remember you

I agree. Im a big fan of all 3 of these guys, and as a guitarist myself I felt his solo fit the song the best. Govan and Steve are both incredible, but Satriani played it perfectly.

Exactly. Seems most are missing that here.

Oh noooo a guitarist played more notes in a bar that you can count on both hands, that means they have no feel no this is just wrong. They took this song and made it their own, this isn't about the original feel. Also all three of these players have more feel in their left testicle than we will ever achieve while playing the instrument

Kollin Baxter I agree. Guthrie is good, but no feels.

errr wrong xD

disagree

Satriani did the hendrix double-stopp-thing but it sometimes felt like that he does not care too much about the changes.

Dio Cane OK,I can buy that!

Hahahahahaha! Hahaha... u get this? Joe is the best..

Guthrie's style is so cheesy

Yupz

lol

By far.

Were you even listening to Guthrie?!!

England.

@@stevejpm1 No..... really?

@@mottahead6464 Yeah,Chelmsford.

@@stevejpm1 Who would have said..... such a skilful and talented musician...

out of the planet. lol

lol

Guthrie has beaten Jimi's ass countless times by now.

exactly :D

TFIFH Guthrie would disagree with you there

God no...

....Or Stevie for that matter.

Drunk asshole

shredfan1987 😅

Get in the fucking bin😂 Even Hendrix - Rock’s all-time biggest Icon - was 100% a “More Is More” person. How many people before Jimi cranked their amps to above and beyond what was the ‘norm’? Even his playing style was over the top compared to his peers at the time. That’s what made him great. Jimi’s best trait was probably his showmanship and that comes from a More Is More attitude. He played as fast and as loud as he could when the mood called for it. If he could play louder and faster he would have but he wasn’t as technically proficient as a lot of the guys around today. He played to the best of his ability. I’m not saying everyone should play fast and freak out all the time, because that’s boring; all I’m saying is if you feel like doing it, then fucking do it! THAT’S what rock is really about. Not this Less Is More horseshit! “Less is more” is a bullshit quote conjured up by people whose playing isn’t getting any better and they are insecure about it. Fact. The bottom line is....If you could do it, you would.
