How the fuck could I forget Gilmour
Frusciante is great, but he's not the best ever. He hasn't evolved any new techniques or brought anything really new to the music world like for example Robert Johnson, Hendrix or Van Halen did. His style is pretty distinctive however and his coorporation with Flea is breathtaking to say the least. I'd place him in the category right under Guitar Gods. Here's my rating system complete with examples.
Guitar God
- Hendrix. All of those mentioned in my above post.
Very fucking Good
- Frusciante, Jeff Buckley, Tom Morello
Good
- Keith Richards, Adam Jones
OK
- Kurt Cobain
Meh
- Guys from bands like 3 Doors Down or Jimmy Eat World. They're probably allright, but I can't be bothered listening to them.
You shitting me? This is bad.
- Tom Delonge, guy from Linkin Park.
I'd rather masturbate with a broken glassbottle than listening to this shit again
- Some Nu-Metal bands I've been lured into hearing around the net. These people actually think they can play worth shit.
N00b
- It's not their fault they suck...
