http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...ed-guitarists/

George Harrison 5. Ace Frehley 6. Mike McCready 7. Lindsey Buckingham 8. Mick Taylor 9. Nels Cline 10. Johnny Greenwood 11. Tom Verlaine 12. Carrie Brownstein 13. Mick Jones 14. Robert Fripp 15.

How did Harrison make the list :confused:!!!!
Normally when pepole bring up guitarists, he is usually one of the first names I hear! Right after Hendrix usually.... and I didnt even know Prince played guitar :lol: Thanks for the post Livia! Glad to See Linds getting some recognition for once :) |

Prince is amazing. |
I knew he played synth, but not guitar.
:shrug: I only really know him from his songs...and the movie Purple Rain. Then after I heard he played synth on Stevies Stand back did I know he played ANY instrument.... Im not really a Prince fan though. So sue me :lol: |

Prince is actually pretty famous for being able to play lots of different instruments, apparently he played all 25 instruments featured on his debut album. He really is an amazing guitarist. Hearing him play live recently just confirmed that fact for me. |

I know. I word things funny.
but the movie I have only heard of a few years ago on Vh1...maybe like 6 or 7 years ago. I wasnt very old. The Purple Rain thing was brought up when his album came out....like two records ago. But no, I have never seen it. nor do I plan to. I have just heard of the title Sorry for any confusion about my wierd wordings. |

I could not disagree with you more on this, the sheer diversity of his material means that would make it hard to just be a Hendrix rip-off guitar-wise. Also he doesn't use falsetto all the time. Parade, Purple Rain and, especially, Sign O' The Times are three of the greatest albums ever made IMO. |

I'm sorry Sharon, but I didn't mention the fact that the whole Prince/Tafkap/Sex/Religion/Slave-bull of his persona and his whole public image irritates the hell out of me too.:thumbsup: |

Of course one of Bernard's most important contributions as a guitarist was to ditch the guitars altogether and use only machines. :nod: |

Beethoven himself had absolutely no skill with the guitar. His manuscripts contain no identifiable parts assigned to electric lead guitar. I could not in good conscience nominate him for this list. http://www.morganlibrary.org/collect.../beethoven.jpg http://www.bellmountainmusic.com/sho...GuitarPrim.jpg |
