Hmm it can be argued that Metal and the neo-classical shred genres aren't the most technically skilled genres, Jazz guitarists seem a lot more technically skilled with stuff like chord solos. Metal certainly isn't the most theoritically challenging, most songs are simple chord vamps.
I personally don't care how about complex something is, though it doesn't make me want to appreciate it very much though. |

I agree that some of the guitarists on here are just people's favourites and are not that great (personally I don't think Eric Clapton is that great), but a lot of the guitarists became people's favourites BECAUSE they are great. No one can deny that some popular guitarists ARE great (i.e. Jimmy Paige, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray).

Lizra rocks. She likes AC/DC.
Angus Young is gifted and talented. Did you ever see how he plays his guitar. That's impossible. And Buckethead really is a great, talented, inhumanly gifted guitarist too. Obviously I don't study him (didn't even know his name) but he makes it talk for Christ's sake.

It depends on the vein of the music. Cock rock and hair spray bands are definitely simple chord construction. However, for example, early Dream Theater with John Petrucci is not. Many of the Neo-Classicist are classically trained and theoritcally laden. So, I will have to agree with you to point, but utterly disagree otherwise. Who are some Jazz musicians that you would name?

Well, Jazz guitar isn't my cup of tea really, I've tried listening to Pat Metheny, Grant Green etc but I just don't get it, so I can't really help you there. However, this link may help you anyway.

nah thats crap (not the bassist stuff) there is a lot of difference between being able to beat out something on an instrument and being able to make good music... thats why i said John 5 coz his music is not all that difficult but its awesome as...
IR playing in a jock strap doesnt make for good music either

In response to the discussions about jazz, I have to say that I respect any type of guitar ability. I just always seem to leave out jazz because personally I don't listen to it that much however I agree that a lot of good jazz has amazing guitarwork and songwriting.
But whoever said that metal is just a bunch of chord vamps is wrong. Maybe "nu-metal" stuff like Korn or wutever is, who's musical talent is absolutely dwarfed by any real metal band. A lot of the stuff that afro-elf listed is very very technical. Also in the case of death metal although it might not be as technical it can be argued that you have to at least appreciate the guitarist's stamina . . . Anyway, theory is based on chords, which is based on scales so no matter what it is going to fit together. Metal typically favors a few scales over others just as jazz typically favors a few scales. Nothing is more or less technical about it.

Oh and I forgot to add that Jazz bassists really impress me as well. Flea is OK but he's no Victor Wooten or Bootsy Collins. Les Claypool is probably my favorite bassist though, he's just got that image . . .
