UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

"All 20 somethings think all good musicians are irrelevant."

Like many things, such a statement isn't true. It's just 20 something musicians and very few 20 something non musicians who do.

"But I wouldn't put Nugent in the top 1000 guitarists."

clearthinker-the screename and your replies don't seem to correlate.

The video clearly defines the thread. It's about Ted opinion of who took post Classic Rock guitar to the next level, which was EVH.

Funny how the thread subject quickly turned into the ridiculous "best" it wasn't intended  to be.

Clearthinker must have spent an enormous amount of time interviewing 20-somethings to make such a blanket statement about ALL of them.

And as far as I'm concerned, music coming from digital workstations is every bit as valid as coming from a gee-tar and requires a great deal of skill to do well.

Whichever it is, if it doesn't serve the song/composition and is just there to impress about what a good musician you are, not interested. 

Les Dudek anyone?

@fpbpbm - when I worked in a record store in the 70's, one of my friends there was a real big Les Dudek fan. He was a fine guitarist indeed....

Going back to Ted, probably my fav song of Amboy Dukes, "Baby Please Don't Go", is done  better by Them, IME, I even prefer strange rendition by Beacon Street Union. Still, I did like the Dukes back in the day, living in Michigan how could I not.
