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.

Not the best pick for Manzanera. Listen to "Walking through Heaven's door", magical and audiophile quality to boost.

Think the focus was on EVH ... not the Nuge... 

 

He will burn your house down though ... sayin

For me Eddie was best rock guitarist long before Ted said so…

It has nothing to do with his speed or showmanship (or lack there of)

But I agree, like Ted says his phrasing and sense or rhythm and timing has a groove that was second to none…

The  title implies one of those silly, chest pounding, insert the name threads, BUT is clarified with Theodore talking about Eddie.

Since Whitefish1175 decided to jack the thread with something completely UNRELATED, I'll pile on to it. Along with my Teddy LP, I got this-:

Jean Luc Ponty Play the music of Frank Zappa-excellent!

johhnycamp5- I knew from the first time I heard VH's cover of "You Really Got Me" in 1978 that EVH was different and, unique. After seeing VH, it was confirmed.

Ted is so polarizing, I think it's cool he mentions EVH as a "BEST".
