MollyL

1:10 pm

MollyL

Hey Harry, we lost another guitar great yesterday.

3:12 pm

afternon all

3:27 pm

fw...

4:18 pm

HarryHood

I hate to be the naysayer, but Eddie Van Halen doesn't cut it in my book. Lots of acrobatics, lots of distortion and wailing, but no soul. And imo, not that much talent. But I always liked Valerie Bertinelli.

4:21 pm

HarryHood

woohoo! finished w/o the list!

4:21 pm

HarryHood

ok - better go before molly gets back and reads my van halen comments. hagn all.

4:47 pm

4:51 pm

JaxH66

Thanks

4:52 pm

bojazz

yw

5:11 pm

MollyL

You have the right to your opinon Harry. But a lot of people disagree. Eddie crops up on any top guitar players of all time list.

5:13 pm

hokie carla

wow, harry with the hot take.

5:14 pm

hokie carla

I consider EVH one of the best.

5:30 pm

origami

I wasn't that fond of the band, but I recognized his talent.

5:35 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of guitar players (Slash for instance) whose music and style I don't particularly like. But I do recognize the talent.

5:43 pm

periwinkle

hi all 10 left and really stuck

5:45 pm

hoyamd

EVH was one of the greatest technical guitarists. If there was a lot of acrobatics, it was bc he was in an acrobatic band. One of his influences was Eric Clapton, who was very soulful. He always seemed to have fun while he was playing.

5:46 pm

hoyamd

need any clues, peri?

5:46 pm

periwinkle

yes but not using list. I will go there now

5:47 pm

periwinkle

I should be ok with the list now ty

5:48 pm

6:34 pm

It's a pretty easy grid, seain. I just finished.

6:39 pm

dcseain

it must be fairly easy, i have 63 of 106 while going back and forth among various tasks.

7:47 pm

Uneaixoise

Fw!!!

7:47 pm

LeslieAnn

congrats unea!

7:47 pm

dan2bit

yw LA, woo hoo Une

9:49 pm

HarryHood

I think these lists of top 100 this and that are pretty much universally garbage. When EVH is higher up than somebody like Carlos Santana? Gotta be kidding me.

9:50 pm

HarryHood

Anyway, may he rest in peace. I harbor no ill will, and he was certainly a gifted entertainer. Though I always did hate David Lee Roth.

9:53 pm

gingin

There are many more talented than EVH. Nancy Wilson from Heart, for instance.

9:54 pm

godthaab

Harry I didn't even know Valerie Bertinelli played guitar!

9:55 pm

cherlyq

fireworks

9:59 pm

HarryHood

I always like her in One Day at a Time.

9:59 pm

HarryHood

liked

10:01 pm

HarryHood

And poor Mackenzie Philips

10:20 pm

rururocks

sorry Gingin EVH was a much better guitarist than Nancy Wilson although she is great too

10:21 pm

EllJay

Best guitarist ever - Santana

10:21 pm

rururocks

he's up there.. but not the greatest ever

10:23 pm

EllJay

Well no that would Segovia. True

10:23 pm

rururocks

in rock music santana is one of the very greatest of all time

10:23 pm

EllJay

Wrong music genre, but still tots great

10:24 pm

EllJay

Ok ruru - I'll agree to that. :)

10:25 pm

rururocks

on my list he'd be third or fourth

10:26 pm

EllJay

Who would be first?

10:27 pm

rururocks

that's really tough.. likely Clapton.. possibly Prince, Phil Manzanera,

10:29 pm

rururocks

it's all a matter of taste. I don't have any problem putting Carlos at the top if that is what you like. Makes total sense to me

10:30 pm

rururocks

technically Prince was the most gifted guitarist we've ever seen.. Clapton is about as great as it gets too

10:31 pm

rururocks

I love them all

10:31 pm

EllJay

I do really love Clapton and Santana but, as you say, everybody has their own favourites. I know was exceptionally gifted, just never liked his music.

10:31 pm

EllJay

*Prince* gifted

10:34 pm

rururocks

my favorite quote from Claption: "Eric : what does it feel like to be the greatest Guitarist on the planet?" Eric: "I don't know, you'd have to ask Prince"

10:35 pm

EllJay

That's awesome!!

10:35 pm

rururocks

true story

10:59 pm

IndiaJan

not true...just an urban legend..though Prince is one of the best all-round musicians ever.

11:08 pm

rururocks

clapton is by far my favorite guitarist

11:55 pm

origami

Prince and Clapton were/are both awesome. But I would have to go with Santana, Hendrix, Page and Allen Collins as technically best. Just my humble opinion.

11:58 pm

origami

And let us not forget David Gilmour.
