With so many significant guitarists, constructing a greatest of all time list is a daunting task to begin with. A lot of them has been inspirational while a whole lot others have been influential. And its not just that they play great music, the fact their names have endured time itself that makes those that made this list legends of their own right.
A lot of established guitarists and struggling guitar novices look up to these names. Whether this new breed of guitar virtuosos are slated for fame or not, they have a long way to go before they can be considered an all time great. Here are the legends of the guitar and the reasons why they are epic.
Jimi Hendrix remains to be the best guitarist ever. After performing at the Monterey Pop Festival and then later at Woodstock in 1969, Hendrix's popularoty soared. But it was his disregard for guitar conventions that made him a stuff of legend. Hendrix pioneered the use of guitar feedback and overdriven amplifiers which was then considered a bad way to make music. He simply opened the door so others can enter.
Next on the list is Jimmy Page. Best known for his association with the equally-legendary rock band Led Zeppelin, Page was one of the core members of the Yardbirds band. He is a high performer, making music with his Gibson Les Paul Classic while doing wild stage antics. His passion for the show made him the the ninth greatest guitarist in the Rolling Stones top 100 list.
Carlos Santana is a magic man when it comes to guitar playing. He combines his Latino soul into the music he conjures, whether it's rock, blues, jazz fusion and salsa. Mystical and magical are some of the adjectives that best describe the kind of music Santana plays with his Gibson SG electric guitar. truly, he is an inspiration for other Latinos out there who wants to pick up a guitar and create music.
Another former Yardbird member, Eric Clapton knows how to whip up great music with his Eric Clapton Artist Signature Stratocaster. One of the most successful guitarist of all time, the guy with the nickname Slowhand has three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and several Grammy awards under his belt. This guy is simply amazing when starts strumming that guitar.
These people play the guitar but they are not all the same in terms of styles. The only things these legends share in common is that there is no limit to what they can bring to the table. They know how to rock your world with their guitars.
