Bes Guitarists of Today

[aberdien]

Not including the good ones from 70's, 80's 90's, just the newer ones. Which guitarists do you think are the best today?

[KozmicKlown]

hmmm...that is really tough. i can't make up your mind.

i can tell you the best bassist, does that count?

mark hoppus- blink 182, +44

this guy is amazing. he can write really good songs. can sing. he strums the bass. possibly the best bassist around. either him or the one from anti-flag. his licks are sick!

another good thing. mark is funny!

before the release of ''The Crusade'' I would've said Matt Heafy
and Cory Beaulieu, but seeing as they've lost all originality, along
with song writing skills, I would say it's hands-down, Kyle McKnight
of Threat Signal.

He blends music like Lamb of God, Fear Factory, and Mesuggah, to
make one little ball of completely badass.

[the wretched]

I think Jack White is a pretty good gutarist, I like his dirty sound, and Trey Spruance from Mr. Bungle is pretty darn impressive.

And yeah, Hoppus is a really good bassist, but Les Claypool is the best bassist around now, probably one of the best ever, and his music is actually good, lol.
everything is IMHO here.

[D3N7ER 8r0I\I<05]

Herman Li and Sam Totman (Dragonforce)
Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)
Jeff Loomis (Nevermore)

All metal/shred type players who are amazing.

No. No. No. Hoppus is not a good bassist by any means. He's proficient at best, better than Wentz (but it's not saying much). I admit it's also because I hate pick bass but as far as his basslines go they've never been particularly inspiring.

My list of top rock bassists:

* Les Claypool (see the solo in the middle)
* Chris Wolstenholme (Muse)
* Brian Gibson (lightning bolt...it's all on drums and bass)
* Timmy Commerford (Broncos fan )

Other great rock bassists: Carlos Dengler (Interpol), John Myung, Justin Chancellor...for non-rock Victor Wooten and Marcus Miller are absolutely genius.

Guitarists...my favourites:

* Matt Bellamy (see solo)
* Tom Morello
* Buckethead
* Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead)

Glad you have Commerford on your list...he's one of my favorite bassists.

My favorite bassline of his.
