Iiimbecile-baiting since 2007
Triple J had an interview / mini-session with Kaki King this morning, who's currently touring Aussie with the Foo Fighters. What this chick can do with an acoustic guitar is simply amazing. She can also sing and play the drums, apparently.

Amazing stuff!
Reminds me of Andy McKee's Driftin:

But I guess Joe Satriani's Midnight (Surfing with the Alien - 1987) was one of the pioneering works of that particular playing style:

I fucking love Satriani's music. But I've found that the poeple who have heard of him are gutarists themselves. So, do you play Mikkel?

t's all about Yengowie Malstreem or whatever the fuck his name is.

Can't run away from that fact. Although I wish I had become slightly better in my 15+ years of damaging my hearingOriginally Posted by BadCompany
Yngwie Malmsteen - yes he's good, but I wouldn't say the best. Best is such an impossible thing to establish - what characterises the really good guitarists are their individual style and sound more than being technically superior. These days there are so many awesome guitarists around it's not even funny...

WHAT THE FUCK HAS HER GENDER GOT TO DO WITH THAT????????

First off. Calm the fuck down.
Secondly. her gender has very little to do with it, other than the fact it is a lot harder for a female to break into the business on sheer instrumental talent, especially on the guitar which is a male-dominated instrument for some reason. How many female guitarists do you hear about? Very few. She seems to have little problem with being referred to as the best female guitarist in the world, based upon her reactions to a question asked on the interview I heard today (the interviewer was female too)
Thirdly. She's the only female in Rolling Stone's Top 50 guitarists list.
Lastly. Thank you very much for giving a demonstration of the sort of over-the-top self-righteous behaviour that uptight feminists are famous for, but always deny. FFS.

That's Yngwie. Almost
I reckon Michael Angelo Batio is the greatest guitarist ever. Inventor of the double guitar and labeled by Guitar World (I think) as the fastest shredder of all time.

Sorry man. Herman Li and Sam Totman have him beat.That's Yngwie. Almost

Kinda old school but I still have a lot of appreciation for Jeff Beck
and I have fond memories of going to a jazz club in New York and listening to Les Paul playing.

Call me a curmudgeon, but I don't think speed and widdly-diddlyness is everything - IMO the greatest guitarists are the ones that get the feel into their playing, and for some reason that means blues guitarists...
Bonny Raitt, if we're still talking trying to piss off Ms T, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Billy Gibbons (incidentally one time rated as the best young guitarist in the world by some bloke called Jimi Hendrix)

Hard to believe that such an am amazing guitarist comes from Masterton of all places.

I rather agree, its also about the song writing though. Eric Clapton and Neil Young are two of my favorite musicians who are excellent guitarists and also write some awesome songs.

??? Herman Li comes from Honk Kong. Sam Totman comes from Hertfordshire, England.
What you talking 'bout Willis?
