[Pig17]

I picked Trey but I would have rather picked Tim. (Like we haven't gone throught this already );)

[HolyCow]

Clapton. Fits my style.

[bullox005]

trey gilmour

[Haiku Jimi]

Gilmour

Allman would be great, but I dont want to play that crazy honky tonk music

[unccrombie]

jeff beck

[scuttfarkus]

No. Eric Johnson. :p

[darbini]

Stevie is my choice.



If Tim were to guest with the DMB again, I think they could do an amazing Crossfire cover

[nakedguydmb]

that's an extremely awkward list. my vote goes to gilmour, but allman would be hard to say no to...

[HolyCow]

Anyone that votes for Steve Vai needs to lose guitar playing privileges.

why would you say a thing like that?

[twosteppin2424]

I would definetly have to go with Trey. I dont think he is the absolutely best guitarist but he fits my style best

Vai would be my second choice behind Gilmour and I'm a little surprised for the hatred there.

And I love how Neil Young didn't even become an option, almost like an automatic forfeit

a lot of people wouldn't put neil high because he may not have the technical skill. but VERY few people play with more emotion than he does

[nakedguydmb]

it's ridiculous. i mean, some people don't like the style and whatnot, but to pretend like he's not a phenominal player is idiotic.

I just don't care for Steve Vai at all. Granted, he is amazing, but I would never consider him.

[GLR87]

Gilmour

[heywhynot]

if i had a band it'd be a jam band so i have to say trey. otherwise vai or vaughn

[musicfreak21]

don't worry about it man, honest mistake i'm sure. those names get tossed around so much i'm sure you just mixed them up

[musicfreak21]

it was on purpose.

just wondering if you people knew what i was talking about.

[HolyCow]

Yeaaaaah. Riiiiiight.

[nakedguydmb]

[Firedncin8nancy]

SRV for sure

[Dancing Ants]

barber.

[Dr. Strangelove]

That "Gilmore" guy.


Shocking, I know.

[onemanguitarban]

Allman would be great, but I dont want to play that crazy honky tonk music

Sounds like someone isn't familiar with Duane's work.

[onemanguitarban]

I can think of a few....and some are on the list. (and are better players)

[onemanguitarban]

barber.

from tdb?

didn't see him on the list.

[1eyed_jack]

obviously it's just opinions, but neil young get's more out of 1 note than most get out of 100

[flyer3468]

I know this was sarcasm, but I'll take it....

[Dancing Ants]

No shit....What changed your mind?

[Dancing Ants]

Triple Wide > Digital Buddha > Triple Wide from i think 6-30-06. UM > Bisco > UM.

i've been listening to them for about a month now. i mean, i've gone through periods of listening to them before, but i listen to them alot now.

I can't blame ya, that transition was seamless.

[Dancing Ants]

it was cool.

Meh...he wouldn't make my top 100 list (and I'm from a minimalist school of thought)

[tommyfnc420]

ummm yeaaahh I am going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there...Vai is a highly skilled player, who worked with the likes of Frank Zappa, Whitesnake, David Lee Roth, Public Image Ltd., etc... His resume speaks for itself. Those are some pretty heavy hitters.
Now, for the style of music that you play, maybe he isn't a good fit, but not to acknowledge Steve Vai's six (and seven) string ability, is musically criminal behavior.
peace and hair grease.

alright, so who would make your list?

[Rodey]

I went with Clapton but I was really tempted to go with Slash.

[PhishFleck41]

Duane Allman

[1eyed_jack]

perhaps the best saturday night musical performance ever. one of them at least

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ObVxM-KOZKo

[chr35919]

^^gotta love the slow-mo at the end when he breaks the strings

[phish36]

Alex Lifeson

[tompeas13]

jp from zeppelin

[DreamingDave]

Gilmour or Trey.

[PhishSticks40]

KT Tunstall or Jimmy Buffet. But if they are not available I would choose Trey. Hendrix?

[dancingfire75]

SRV, i think he was born attachted to a guitar

[VanHorneDog]

i would pick warren, but i like treys melodic playing. plus he can play pretty much anything.

[Jan-Willem]

Slash. Great player and he seems to be a great guy too...

[MGH4007]

trey by light years

[cntrlnydmbfan]

trey by light years

Light years? Are you serious? Trey is awesome but Steve Vai is the most technically sound and innovative guitarist I have ever heard.

[Munford]

SRV, I like his tone.

[MikeMcGinnis44]

I've never played guitar so I really know nothing, but I'm going with Eddie Van Halen.

[eleos1177]

SRV... FTW!!:evil

[MGH4007]

did i ever say Trey was better, or did I ever say SRV wasn't as good. Grow the fuck up, this wasn't a "who's the better guitarist". I like trey much much more although srv is in my top 3 guitarists.

I was only commenting on the "light years" part of your quote, no need for profanity. By the way, are you talking about Stevie Ray Vaughan or Steve Vai?

[ryangibson]

I chose Trey, he fits my style better than anyone on the list. I'd love to have Jimmy Page, though.

[gregory311]

Where's the option for other? :D

[cntrlnydmbfan]

I'm probably gonna get slammed for this but John Mayer is pretty damn good too.
