No, never in the history of Queenzone has it crossed the minds of all queenzoners to discuss their fav guitarists and the best ones in their opinion. My, how DID you come up with a thread like this?


Sorry. Last year we started Best Drummer topic and I hadn't gone beyond the Hot Topics list then. Don't judge me, I was 11.

Brian for his playing quality. Always accurate and clever solos. Very very original. Just great.

Jason Becker for... do I need to explain?
Damn, he was GOD.

We all know that Brian is awesome, but so are Jimmy Page and George Harrison.

But I'm pretty sure your father DID rape you when you were a little boy, so that's the reason why you are a stupid bastard.

There is no 'Best Guitarist.' On the list Sir GH posted, Brian May is #143, Eric Clapton #24. Brian can rock harder and faster by a mile than EC. His playing is far more versatile, he was one of the first guitarists to tap on record. He's a better guitarist in every way shape or form than Eric Clapton. Of course, Nuno Bettencourt can play circles around both of them, and he isn't on the list.


"Criteria: - These are the 100 greatest guitarists of all genres of music and styles of guitar. They were picked for their importance in the guitar world including innovation, respect from other guitarists, influence on both other players as well as on styles of playing, impact, legendary status, and overall importance on shaping the guitar world. Plus for the playing abilities including technique, creativity, versatility, musical depth & expression both in composing & performing, live energy and improv skills, and originality."

With that in mind, I completely agree with the placements of Clapton and May. Clapton is a much more influential guitarist than May. I love Brian, but it's a fact.

Surely there's a boo-boo been made here.


Hey, I don't always agree with the digitaldreamdoor guy. But I usually do! These are still the best lists I've ever found in terms of someone being well-informed, and not biasing based on their own tastes. But you have to admit that Steve Vai has inspired more guitarists to pick up the guitar than Brian May. The reality about Queen is that with 99 out of 100 listnerers, Freddie outshadows the other three members of the band.

I love Brian May - but the best...
not sure about that. If I could play like anyone it would be Santana, he has the most soul.
I love Queen, I love Brian, but he's been doing the same solo for 20 years. Last Horizon is great because it's a real departure for him - it sounds soulful. I believe on his solo record it was played on a guitar given to him by Eddie Van Halen - that could be Nothin' but blue though. I've misplaced the liner notes.
