ITT: Your favorite guitar player

RHCP is ultra cringe but John Frusciante is unironically a fucking godly guitarist. He deserved better.

I remember some kind of interview where he said he tuned his guitar completely by ear until he liked what he heard. My guess is he sets it up to where its open strum is a tritone or some other really dissonant chord.

Duane Allmans is a close second

Nine minutes in. You would be correct about the tritone but it's also slightly out of tune. Lowest to highest:
>E, quarter tone flat
>A, in tune
>E, quarter tone flat
>A, quarter tone sharp
>D#, half tone sharp
>E, in tune

Not really imo. Although the habits that bring that forward I think come from fretless playing.

Gary is the fucking man. The guy didn’t always write the best songs but fuck if he isn’t the greatest to ever play a guitar.
Michael is a close second, the most melodic player I’ve ever heard. Incredible ability to convey emotion in his playing.
Eddie is somehow both overrated and underrated, everyone knows eruption but the guy is for real an explosive soloist and wrote a lot of great songs.
This guy is my favorite 60’s style guitar player. Jimi was good but I’m not really into psychedelia, Beck is still incredible but fusion can wear on me, Clapton is a fucking meme and always will be. This guy played simple blues rock and rocked the shit out of it.
Frank is by no means on the level of any of the guitar players above. Incredible composer, hilarious guy, okay guitar player. HOWEVER, Muffin Man is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and he came up with it on the spot, so he honestly has nothing to prove to me.

I believe it. That it's still a bit off shows that he really did just go with his gut, and just happened to like that dissonant sound.

Eddie Van Halen.

>Frank is by no means on the level of any of the guitar players above. Incredible composer, hilarious guy, okay guitar player. HOWEVER, Muffin Man is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and he came up with it on the spot, so he honestly has nothing to prove to me.
I couldn't agree more.
What's hilarious is that Zappa has some of the most soulful guitar solos, despite supposedly not wanting them to be soulful.

Frusciante is absolute garbage, one of the worst guitar players I’ve heard.

For me, it's Adrian Belew.

I know all the chords for Sultans of Swing but I can't fucking make it sound the way he does. Great guitarist.

>even now Dhani Harrison is still seething about Prince stealing the show during While My Guitar Gently Weeps
In all honesty, Prince has to be in my Top 5 between that performance and his Super Bowl Halftime Show
