Best Guitarist You've Seen (live)

[FakeLaser]

I finally saw Sonic Youth this past Friday and can now say rather definitively that Thurston Moore is the best guitarist I've ever seen live.

[DaveWadding]

RoXer and I saw Clapton live.

[/thread]

[RP]

Probably Zach Wylde

[Rammsteinmad]

John Petrucci with Dream Theater.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Probably Joe Satriani.

[Juan]

Synyster Gates

[Penner]

Luke Hoskin of Protest The Hero is still my idol and he is flawless live

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Tony Iommi

[Requiem]

Haven't seen any good guitarists live, but a friend has seen John Mayer live, and from watching countless live videos, he is a phenomenal guitarist. His playing speaks for itself, IMO.

[Mooияakeя™]

Noel Gallagher, that Indian dude from Sum 41 were decent and Valensi from the Strokes.

I really liked Russell Lissack from Bloc Party. Love that gig.

[CSL]

Slash boiiii

[Kapoutman]

I don't really know shit about what makes a guitarist that good. But I was impressed by Johnny Marr.

[James Diesel]

Between John Mayer and Synyster Gates

[El Fangel]

Wylde, Hammet, Fogarty come to mind in that order.

[ozzman6669]

Zakk Wylde, Slash and Eddie Van Halen

[Downunder]

Probably Joe Satriani.

[El Fangel]

I would agree with El Vag, But I have not seen him live...yet.

Noel Gallagher and the dude from Sum 41 are not good guitarists but you're out of yr mind if you don't think Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo are great guitarists.

[Buzzkill]

Tommy Emmanuel

It said the best guitarist you've seen LIVE. I have not seen many. I don't know who the fuck Ronaldo or Thruxton are, but I know I ain't seen them live. It's from what I've seen. That's the fucking question. Now wind your neck in and understand there are opinions here and ffs, read the fucking question.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I don't know who the fuck Ronaldo or Thruxton are

I posted the question, dick dr

And yr post implied that the guitar stylings of Sonic Youth are for 16 year olds who like Sum41 which is grossly inaccurate

[Gertner]

Nick Carter

[Vastardikai]

Zakk Wylde is technically good, but he has ruined songs by putting in a blistering solo that didn't need to be there. Strictly IMO.

To Answer the question, though: Willie Nelson.

Show me where I said that. Cos I can't see it. I'm fucking tired, but seriously can't see it. I mentioned fuck all bout SY before you mentioned them.

[FakeLaser]

My bad, Spaff brought up Sonic Youth like a spazz

But the "I posted the question, dick dr" stands

[Mooияakeя™]

So does the selection of guitarists that I HAVE SEEN LIVE. May not be the best in the world, but for who I've seen live (question), that's the pick of the bunch.

[KIRA]

John 5 easily
