Who is your least favorite guitar God???

[DJR]

i cant listen to hendrix. just cant get into him.

same here

Eat more acid, dudes.
I am a HUGE Hendrix fan. The dude pretty much single-handedly revolutionized the instrument

Santana is definitely over-rated, so I gotta go with the majority here.

Lindsey Buckingham on the other hand is so under-rated it's not even funny. He should definitely be on the list of the so-called guitar gods.
David Gilmore can get so much from a guitar without artificial effects it should make Timmy blush. How he can be over-rated I'll never know. He's rarely, if ever, metioned with the greats.

Pete Townsend

I think David Gilmour is overrated too.

i can honestly say i've never heard anyone say that before - he's awesome, really passionate solos

for real, i dont see how you can consider Gilmour overrated when most average rock listeners dont even know who he is

i cant fucking stand Jack White. Music critics basically stroke him off every time they talk about him, but i think he's average at best. Sure, maybe he can write some catchy tunes, but making a shitload of noise with an electric guitar isn't anything new

define "average rock listeners"... i'm pretty sure that no one who is an actual rock listener doesn't know who david gilmour is.

consider the band he plays with: Pink Floyd. they are a pretty well known classic rock group, even amongst people who are necessarily enthusiasts.

chances are, if you were to ask some random person on the street, they will have heard of Pink Floyd, but they may not be able to tell you the names of the members. other groups, such as Led Zeppelin, are similar in this respect, but chances are, that if you were to ask the same random person to name a member of that group, they would say either Robert Plant or Jimmy Page.

at least this was the way it was for me. i knew a lot of Pink Floyd music, but it wasn't until i became more interested in their music that i learned that the guitarists name was David Gilmour

I don't respect Hendrix. Especially after hearing his live at berkeley cd. Sure, some of his songs are good, and he's got skills, but he got too crazy sometimes, just way too out there with the odd noises and fuzz. Same reason I can't listen to Whole Lotta Love that often, even though I love that solo after the odd noises, the noises just detract so much.

try to control yourself when you are on acid and cocaine and heroin at the same time (exaggeration)

OK, so we have EVH, Clapton, Hendrix, Gilmour, and Santana out of the way. Who the hell do you guys like, or I'm sorry, 'get into'? Tim and Trey?

[Batstone]

i liek tim... but my least fav gutiar "god" would have to be michael angelo...........

[Kahn]

Trey is my hero

[briguy945]

Santana, I do like some of his stuff but he has no variety.

[Kahn]

I don't know if he counts as a "God" per-say, but Houser pretty much played th same solo every single time How can you not love him though?

[gumbomadness]

the people i DO get into, trey < one of the favorites, joe pass, warren haynes, john scofield, john mayer, eric clapton and more!

[myxomatosis]

van halen- faster does not = better... never heard a van halen song I liked

Santana - repetition does not = better... some of his stuff I like though

[mlb1399]

I like Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck, Townsend, Eddie VH.

Another that I would add on my list along with BB King would be Stevie Ray Vaughn. Once again, I respect his talent and ability but I just don't dig his style or sound.

[VoodooChile]

i liek tim... but my least fav gutiar "god" would have to be michael angelo...........

There's another good one, he's fast but his solos simply lack substance. Monte Montgomery, SRV, Gilmoure, Paige, Trey, Michael Hedges, and Justin King are probably my favs.
