Your upload is not only funny but informative and I cant deny your musical Genius. However I have never rated Hendrix and totally shocked the likes of Zakk Wylde or Fast Eddie Clarke never rated with you............Enjoyable none the less. Thumbs up and subscribe

Dimebag 100%

Dime?

He is your hero, huh. Along with Flava-Flav.

@@TheCyberMantis Dude you might want to Google SARCASM!

@@sinisterminister6478 Hey, you got something against Flava-Flav? That dude used to date Brigitte Nielsen!

@@TheCyberMantis Touche Sir Touche lol

🤣🤣🤣

SRV, Gary Moore and John Mayer

you have to check more country blues my metal brother, Danny Gatton, Albert Lee, Vince Neal, Brent Mason, in almost all the Nashville country related scene you'll find guys that make your metal chops crumble. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asx4gquXz6y9coE.html

SRV is the best ever. I love metal more than anything but even I understand the talent of Stevie Ray. Even still, no one compares... every guitarist knows who he is... 😎

I try doing both.

@@nachomagallanico Roy Clark is an ass kicking picker and I'm a metal head.

yeah it sounds like Hoobastank or some shit

terrible song

It does say top 10 guitarist leaving an ambiguous room for what these guitarists are at the top of.

It's impossible to list the best guitarist. What is being the best? the most skilled ? the one who wrote the most memorable songs ? All the guitarist you listed are most probably 10 times better technically than Brian May but not sure if they will be 'remembered' as much as him, he wrote better selling and memorable songs than Dream Theatre; and I say this but I don't particulary enjoy Brian May playing or Queen in general ( I know i know don't hit me..) while I enjoy Yngwie early albums a lot. These list are 99% of what the uploader prefers/know, and that's normal.

get the fuck outta here with your technique obsession deep purple goes hard tho

Ritchie is the KING actually !!!!

"hey where is the dude thats the fastest guitar player in the guiness world book"

Mustaine and Dime

Alexi laiho

@@jonasaa88 Alexi for sure R.I.P.

Iconic sure. Best? Hardly...

Dime

common mistake

@@ShredmasterScott lmfao shred you're the best guitar youtuber dude idc what anyone says

hahaha

" 'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Don't feel bad I thought he was saying " Kiss this guy" 😂😂

100%

And how about "Just a Little Bit of Love"?

Or how about White Cat by Zed Lepplin?

@@wiadran just a little bit of hate not love

And The Lake. Also Hail song, also Trampled under Zepplen

Fall by Han valen

strong list

@@ShredmasterScott Thank you, sir Shred!

Finally, Andy appears. Not often mentioned and one of the best. Jani Liimatainen should be in the list too.

JEFF LOOMIS!!! Its a shame, that almost no one on this planet, who doesn't play guitar, knows anything about Jeff Loomis's existence. He's currently in Arch Enemy, and most people still think Chris Amott is the second guitarist in the band. Even though Chris was replaced by a guy named Nick, before Jeff was in the band.

@@nicolasarbogast2739 Yeah, it was really hard to try and do a top-10 list. I had to leave several players off, that I really wanted to include. One of them was: Marcel Coenen.

lost part of his tongue

I like how this list is wrong

@@TheBlackmoreAdventure i like how your list would be shit

Well, you blew it. Because you forgot to put MICHAEL ROMEO on that long list of yours. ( And he would be at the TOP. )

Nail on the head.

* Jason becker

Where’s Santana ?! I can’t see Santana in your list, where is he ? I need it !

Where's joanna Connor

Nobody forgot about him, good player, horrible fucking band. Worst band in my book

David gilmour and Clapton are so overrated

@@bobclaus6485 tf bro, straits is awesome, sultans of swing has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time

👍👍👍

@@dorukstar7377 yeah, played by Knopfler. Knopfler is Dire Straits.

While Kirk isn't as technical player as Friedman, he did write several iconic riffs James didn't. I can't remember whatever iconic riff Marty wrote that isn't attributed to Mustaine.

I agree 100% Marty is far more diverse much emotion in his play i could care less what the general public labels as "iconic".

@@Sativa989 Marty ftw

Dave Mustaine should be on this list, he's a pretty great guitar player... plus he wrote a lot of Metallica's better songs in the earlier part of their career (pre MOP).

man same with dimebag darrell

yes muhaha

@@ShredmasterScott I knew I could count on you!

@@ShredmasterScott The little known B-side of Dante's Inferno says this "If it be true that the road to Heaven slopeth so that by this art we can ascend, or be fallen to this imagined chase" He had not finished telling me this plan, but with a smile his fingers played With all things outspread, talent showing forth. My love of music fell upon me at once, as those tunes I heard in mine cradle reminded me, and seeing him dance through fire and flame I knew he cared more for his skill than charity. He then smiled, and his pride rose further, and he revealed who he was by treating that thing he held as a harp, as broken notes leapt forth. Arpgeggios seduced mine ears, as we rode through hell, And I knew who he was, and from what cold land he hailed, and that your fingers cannot play on air as his did then. Coldly he smiled and said 'Afore this ridge is crossed, you must know I am better than you, and for my Master you must tell me for what this art is made'. With tongue stuck on the roof of my mouth, Soul still afire with what was played, and foot and leg still trying to follow that many-tempered beat, I replied all things are done for pride, or for pay, called avarice, or for charity, that is the Holy Ghost dwelling in the mind (1). Around us, those that lived about that ridge hissed and snarled, For they were lost to that, as they were much else, And to then charity was a curse word, to be thrown at the weak and the poor. And as fingers played at speed, so too did my mind, as I recalled the day the music lived, rocked all over the world, and breathed charity with every breath. For as that man, who lately gave up the gear as it was crap, And who is said to have a picture that gets younger and younger, said of playing in front of a hundred thousand souls, with that old singer who sang of Watchtowers and of Rolling Stones "Yeah, first time before a paying audience. Course we didn’t get paid.” (2) My tongue, trippingly as if Brubeck had commanded it then said "What so ever you do for the least of mine, you do for me" And a heavenly chorus then resounded, with those words that echo that parable of rich men and the eye of the needle Were said, and The Holy Spirit moved, and 'Give us your fucking money' reverberated in the hearts though those words were not said by any Irishman on that day"

I like Zappa but when he played with Floyd it was very disappointing. He looked like he should not have been on stage with them.

There's a lot of unorthodox technique put into his playing that makes him sound super unique

Slash was my number one but now it's fine bag

@@OriginalKingRichTv wow.. auto fill is a bichtch, yes? it's spelled DIME bag and Ritchie.. please affirm that you are exorcising sarcasm here.. 😵

Rhoads*

Also Buckethead

If he did, he would have still been in Metallica

@@murk4552 no, it was because he was a drunk

@@matejbolecek7997 and was using his black belt skills while drunk to teach them some manners 😂

muhehehe

Rhoads* Yes, he deserves top ten easy.

Yeah

@@johnhill762 hes hes number 1 w hendrix

Same here

I actually found SRV the day he died due to a music tv show that talked about him. I was shocked and became a huge fan.

actually I think the devil holds first place muhaha

@@ShredmasterScott I agree (evil laught)

Agree. When you gauge them on how influential they were and their legacy, it's pretty accurate. But defining "best guitarist" requires many other things.

@@ktvx.94 Good points all!

Good point. If we’re talking about greatest guitar players not just in rock and metal, I’m going with Glen Campbell. Man was insane.

@@triad5766 Glen was an excellent, and very underrated guitarist. This is at least partly because he never got really well known to the general public until he began singing. This is quite common in popular music. Nat "King" Cole is another good example of this unfortunate phenomena.

@@ktvx.94 obviously Eddie did a lot of tapping things that were original

Well that's the thing. These best of lists are purley subjective.They are based on the personal tastes if the person making the list. Every person would have a different list in a different order each being just as valid the next one. One thing I do find entertaining though is all the non- musicians who just nuts on each other on who's the best. At least musicians discussing these lists can usually have an informed civil discourse. Then you just have assholes who just have to be contrary about everything.

@@sinisterminister6478 Well actually I believe these list on "Top10 lists" are made by a community then people themselves vote, I myself have voted on many before, hence why I find it pretty accurate, however I would've put Iommi way further up and Gilmour at 2nd place. Completely agree about the last point you make there though, maybe it's a sense of knowledge of the instrument which helps, or just an ear for music.

I think it’s more over influence and recognition over anything else. Hate him or love him, I’m sure Kirk’s solos are more widely known than most of these other guys.

I think he was just reading a list from some website. Its prob not his top guitarist list

I don't get the Hendrix/Page/Clapton/Slash worship on these websites, man. Maybe they were just way before my time. I know this is not historically accurate, but I believe that rock only truly started in 1978 with Van Halen I. Everybody before that was just playing blues with lots of gain. Nobody on this list - save for Eddie himself - hits like Dimebag did.

@@kungfuman82 truee

Finally someone who spells Rhoads right

Nice list

red panda

I use to hate hate hate avenged, recently stated to listen to gates and i can’t deny he’s a damn good guitarist, made me start listening to them mainly cause of him

1. Dimebag 2. EVH 3. Jimi Hendrix 4. Kirk Hammett 5. Justin Johnson 6. Rhandy Rhoads 7. Slash 8. SVR 9. Dave Mustaine 10. Brian May Just my opinion. Shred till you're dead!!!🤘🤘

@@l.a.wagner9958 yeah dimebag is the best (:

He should, also shawn lane

Him, Shawn Lane, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Dimebag… I could go on. For a guy named Shred his list lacks shredders

Totally agree

Uli is master

Dave Murray is a wizard also

Strong list.... but you forgot the #1 guy: MICHAEL ROMEO.

Yeah. Id say dime was the greatest heavy metal guitarist ever.

Only a couple of his picks are worthy of top 10. Dime should’ve been in Kirk Whammets spot for sure. He was such an innovative player and brought a whole ‘New Level’ of riffage to heavy metal.

The dean from hell is so iconic. Litterly everyone wants one unlike Kirk hammets

Ya man Dimebag deserves a spot for sure.

Honestly, when talking about talent, Van Halen is the only guy that comes to mind that is better

I mean, kirk kind of made a big impact in the metal scene with his solo from One, but if this is about influence, Dimebag is a great contender and also if we are putting a Metallica guitarist, then James Hetfield is a better contender because his riffs are everything. He is the downpicking god, and also in my opinion, he has the best endurance and the best stamina because he can still play fast and also downpick for a very long time. The rest of us would've gotten carpal tunnel before he gets tired.

No Friedman, Syu, Gilbert, Ohmura??

Sup

Hello there

@@morgothbauglir906 obi Juan Kenobi

Yes.

Part of the fun is talking shit about kirk and lars then paying for VIP tickets anyway

@@thepeter3116 Nah, I just talk shit about them, and never pay for anything they do. I quit Metallispuz after CLIFF died.

@@TheCyberMantis yeah but seeing them perform before they die is worth it for me as a young man. Relapsed hetfield was worth the money

It’s Rhoads* But yes, he should be top ten easy. Was way better than Kirk.

@@johnhill762 Randy was just different than Kirk. Thats like comparing bb king to Herman li. They both play different genres.

agreed
