There's no questioning EvH's brilliance as a musician. He was the real deal, although he probably didn't produce music equivalent to his talent level. On the other hand Ted Nugent as a guitar player is a footnote. A fine entertainer, but his playing is run of the mill. Compare him to Rick Derringer, Steve Hunter, Angus Young, James Gurley, Eddie Hazel, Joe Walsh, Jim McCarty, Dick Wagner, Stephen Stills, Jeff Baxter, Leslie West, Michael Monarch, James Mankey or Jerry Miller.
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
Only because I found a REALLY good copy of terrible Ted's debut(his best IMO) yesterday, I'm sharing this one. Ted describing the electric guitar God hierarchy gets my vote. I tapped out after Dog Eat Dog(before Derek St Holmes was dropped.) Those 2 albums and early Amboy Dukes still sound great to me.
