CharlieSheen Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Jimi Hendrix > Jimmy Page > Eddie Van Halen > Eric Clapton, although depending on my mood Eddie Van Halen would be bottom with Clapton in 3rd place, the top 2 will always stay the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hendrix and Van Halen on the guitarist front but Hendrix and Page on an all round basis (I personally like Page the most as a guitarist anyway).what is WRONG with you people?!?!?!

MEXzilla Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I choose Hendrix and my second would be Clapton followed by Van Halen. I find Hendrix to be the more creative one out of the three and to me Machine Gun is a guitar song that I put in the highest regard. Clapton has several bands that made great music especially with Derek and the Dominoes; that album just is a great fucking album the guitar speaks and sings for Clapton. Van Halen is just fucking cool and the first 4 albums of Van Halen are just fucking awesome; including the new one. I find myself in the minority here but I find Page and Zeppelin to be overrated. By no means are they a bad band but I just find their music to be dated (even live) while Hendrix albums are dated his live performances just sound awesome to me. Clapton's work with Steve Windwood and Derek and the Dominoes is timeless and Van Halen is still kicking ass. So yeah Jimmy Page does not even register in my favorite guitarist same with his band.

DirtyDeeds Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Toss up between Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. Both reinvented what it was to play electric guitar and I'm not going to hold one's being older and playing in the '60s against the other one. On pure guitar levels, I'd have to say it's a tie.So, like this:Hendrix/EVH.....Jimmy Page...................Clapton (the whitest of white boy blues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hendrix by a considerable amount.Van Halen's debut is fantastic, but everything after that is pretty goddamn boring, including the guitar playing. Never really got into Clapton or Zeppelin too much, outside of a few great Zeppelin songs (outnumbered by the many 'meh' songs from them I've heard).

dalsh327 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hendrix and Van Halen were prob. the best as individuals coming up with the melodies.No one talks about The Firm or Coverdale/Page, do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Keep in mind: This thread isn't about who's BETTER; It's who you enjoy listening to more.Like, technically, Jimi Hendrix runs circles around pretty much every other guitarist in terms of ability and skill. But I much prefer the music Jimmy Page made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
