Did you just put Kurt Cobain on your top five greatest guitarist list?? hmmm? I love his music, and I'm a Nirvana fan... but isn't he known for how bad he played guitar? Anyway, I was just saying that was an interesting choice. But don't get me wrong I'm not trying to take your opinion away, like I said, I love Nirvana and I love Cobains music.

I agree with both of you. I wasn't trying to be an a**hole or anything. Like I said in my post I love Nirvana and they were and still are a great band to listen to. Cobain was a big influence on a lot of people. I accredit him as more of a songwriter than a guitar player though. Just like you said... "he wrote good songs". Since I posted in here and haven't given my opinion on my top five I might as well... here they are in no particular order:

1.Jimi Hendrix (most influencial)
2.Joe Satriani (started the virtuoso movement)
3.Slash (brought the blues to hard rock)
4.Mark Tremonti (Most overlooked guitar player in recent years. PS, I hate Creed... the guy can shred)
5.Jimmy Page (How many classic riffs has he come up with?)

Honorable Mention:
Kirk Hammett, Joe Perry, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Kieth Richards, Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde, Mike Mcready,... the list could go on

If you look at the title of the thread it says "Favorite Guitarists."

Actually it says "Favourite Guitarists".... if you really were trying to be technical about it.... and I know. If you didn't read the posts that I left, I explained my opinion about Kurt Cobain as a guitarist. That doesn't mean that someone else can't like his guitar playing... but thanks Mr. Obvious! Two thumbs up man!

Dang British spellings...

Regardless, unless the person who started this thread then went on to ask our "top five greatest guitarists," I really don't see what point you had.

no one put eddie hazel?

No, no it doesn't at all. I don't really care if someone puts Ashley Simpson as their "favorite guitarist" OR "greatest guitarist" it will still be their opinion. I simply stated MY opinion about Kurt Cobain as a guitar player, or what I have engrained in my mind of what a "great" guitar player should be. He had some really good riffs and he was successful. I, personally, don't accredit him as a guitar player. THAT was my point... to convey MY opinion on a topic that I was posting about. Nothing more, nothing less... I hope I've explained myself a little better. Sorry for taking up room in the board with this. I'm done now...

May I make an assumption,

You have been playing for a month. You have very little knowlege of guitar and therefore only respect fast guitarists that play big name guitar companies.

Kurt Cobain hands down he is the best of his generation.
Randy Rhoads
Eddie Vedder
Davie Ghrol
James Hetfiled

Dave Gilmour
Eric Clapton
Mr Jimmy Page
Jimi Hendrix
Roy Buchanan
Rory Gallagher

Well, I just got back, and while i was on vacation, i found a cool little music shop that sells old tapes. And being a fan of the old simpler stuff, i went in and had a look at what they had. I chanced upon a Steve Vai tape. As soon as i saw it i bought it because im trying to expand my tastes. Listening to it today I have decided to add him to my list of Favorite Guitarists. His songs are badass. Specially "The Audience is Watching". :D

My favourite guitarists:

Jimmy Page
Jimi Hendrix
Brian May

I've been looking to add to my playing styles too. Always been wanting to pick up a Steve Vai album, but haven't gotten around to it yet. What is it that makes him so special? Not having heard any of his music, I can only guess.

1.jimi hendrix
2.slash
3.kirkhammett :D
4.mick thomsom
5.james hetfield
