Oh common, really ?
Clearly just picked off of google translate, dumb prick.

Let me enlighten you a little bit, and spell out for you correctly :

Ik kan JOU vertellen dat je MIJN lul KAN zuigen in elke taal, JIJ stuk Amerikaans stront!

öder mocht ICH lieber SAGEN das ZÜ meinen Schwanz MÖCHTEN saugen, ZU unglaublich unhöflich und dumme wesen?

Et justeMENT pour finir en Francais, TA mère est une pute (immonde:what the fuck is this supposed to be?) qui le prend dans SA CULE (that's with an E) DES hommes établis longues ET noirs. ET TU est un FILS de PUTE qui prend SA mère dans SA cule, tandis qu'elle SUCE son autre fils! Tu me comprend, CORBEILLE ?

And just for you, the last bit in my native tongue, especially for you:
TU madre es una PUTA la dejó tomar EN el culo por hombres negros COLGADO,
y tú eres un hijo de puta que se folla mientras ella chupa su otro hijo. Me entiendes, pedazo de mierda?


Instead of picking the translations off of google, I actually studied all of the languages you mention, INCLUDING english, you DUMB DUMB idiot.
You are embarrassing yourself, so just give it a rest. Or do you need that in 7 different languages too ?

Oh yeah, and I may live in Belgium, but I'm not, get it ? We're the conquistadores. We tortured your ass in the past.

Que idiota !

And that's idiotA with an A, cause I think you're a FAG aswell.

So with an A

Impellitteri blows 'em all away. Did anybody listen to the video I put up there? I do like Michael Angelo Batio's double guitar vid!

Another mentionable....Mark Knopfler

Willie Nelson

Alex Lifeson - Rush.

Could it be the Nobody??

Jimmy Page

Joe Walsh

J in 2012

Matt Bellamy

Adrian Belew.

Gets good at about 1:20....

Anus ;)

Roy Clark

Tim Reynolds is really awesome, I also think that Micheal Keene from the Faceless is really quite phenominal too. There is another guy that is dead, and can't remember his name but was very quiet and didn't like the media. Wish I could remember his name.

I vote thought for:

Joe Satriani

S.R.V. was great as well.

The balls in Guthrie's court.

Jack White. Done. Hendrix also

Robben Ford too

What a bullshit thread. There is no answer to this. All the guitarists mentioned are sensational players and aside from style and genre differences there is only millimeters between them talent wise. When talking about the caliber of guitarists listed here it pretty much comes down to personal preference.

Stupid, illogical and un winnable thread.

Should have been titled favorite guitar players.

That's who came to mind when I watched a little of that Jimmy Page video a few posts ago. Roy can run those scales twice as fast and a hell of a lot cleaner than Page was playing that. I love Jimmy Page's studio stuff, he was more influential to me than Hendrix. Electric guitars vary quite a bit in ease to play, a Les Paul is a hell of a lot harder to play than an SG, the same way a Tele is no match for a real Strat. As for what Satriani and Vai's instruments, they remind me of rubber bands.
