Guitarists Everyone Can Agree On

Also, surprised no one has mentioned Carlos Santana yet.

The first two Santana albums are classics, but his playing gets really stale after awhile. I'll never deny that the dude has great tone and can sustain notes a long ass time (for playing a PRS solidbody).

Saved it from the harm caused to a great song by Petty's sappy voice.

dude, john mayer can really shred. i much prefer john mayer trio over his solo stuff.

Oh I 100% agree. I went to a concert with the ex wife a few years ago and was shocked at how good he was. He is VERY good live.

I know a lot do not listen to country, but my experience with Mayer was the same as with Keith Urban. Very shocked at how good he was.

Santana has more than two albums? LOL, jokes aside he is talented.

I haven't taken the plunge to see Mayer live yet, but I've checked out his more guitar-centric stuff on YT before. Really, really good.

Has James Hettfield been mentioned yet? He's not ultra technical, but no one faults him for it and everyone says he is really good at doing his thing.

Compared to Hammett he is a real jabroni, if you ask me.

Its funny because Hammett is technically a much better player, but he catches so much more crap than Hettfield.

Layla was Derek and the Dominos not Cream.

Well aware of that. Didn't mean to conflate the two. Just two examples of when Eric Clapton was awesome.

 

[Bob Charlie]

Ernie Isley
Buckethead
Jerry Cantrell
Eddie Hazel
Dave Mustaine
Carlos Santana
Dimebag Darrell

Chuck schuldiner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One that never gets enough mention in my opinion is Craig Chaquico

Eric Clapton is a little bit of a hack. For at least half his career he was consistently boring.

Eric Clapton is a hack?

I'd like to hear you support this statement.

For a period of time, yes:

A lot of what made Derek And The Dominoes great was the chemistry between Clapton and Duane Allman.
