- dezweber, on 10/10/2008, -5/+62dugg for Prince and George Harrison in the same sentence
- DearSergio, on 10/10/2008, -1/+54John Mayer pays someone to do drugs for him.
- Smaulz, on 10/10/2008, -1/+49Dear God in Heaven.... I've never been a Prince fan, but he completely bitch-slapped the entire world with that solo. Simply gobsmacked.
- mogdor, on 10/10/2008, -7/+54John Mayer - the guy all other guys make fun of but whom they secretly wish they were.
- 1nhuman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+46Damn. Guitars rock. You tend to forget with all this crap music nowadays.
- jeexbit, on 10/10/2008, -0/+35Damn, Prince was *serious* on that jam...
- krekc, on 10/10/2008, -1/+351. is exactly what I was thinking when I read the title. Prince was awesome.
- FriedTurkey, on 10/10/2008, -0/+23Where does Prince's guitar go at the end? He just throws it up in the air like a bad ass and it never comes down.
- username7410, on 10/10/2008, -0/+22Great choice for number 1. Dugg.
- bemenaker, on 10/10/2008, -1/+22I've long thought Prince was one of the most under-rated musicians out there. He may be bizarre and flamboyant as hell, but he knows how to play.
- Xihix, on 10/10/2008, -3/+22Woohoo, Frusciante got some notice. He's one of my favorite guitar players, his live improv jams are always so awesome.
- marcus1060, on 10/10/2008, -0/+18I'm always surprised by how good of a guitarist Prince really is.
And I love that cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. - bitweever, on 10/10/2008, -0/+18I went to a Mayer concert with my wife when we were dating. I thought it was going to be tolerable, but then he launches off onto a solo like the on in the article, and my jaw hits the floor.
If you have a chance to go to one of his shows with a woman, then go. But don't go with your buddy, because that's kinda gay.
He also spotted a girl in the audience with a sign that said '16 years old today, and never been kissed. Want to be my first?' He called her up on the stage, and laid one on her. - roctimo, on 10/10/2008, -0/+18Lindsey Buckingham is mad underrated. I commented on Audiotuts and I'll do it again: Big Love acoustic is amazing.
- loobis, on 10/10/2008, -0/+17yeah, cause Jimi, Carlos Santana and Stevie are all "unexpected"....
- SwankRock3000, on 10/10/2008, -0/+15He was handing it to David Blaine.
- Oshi, on 10/10/2008, -2/+16Prince totally should of made the top 100 guitarist list.
But whatever, Rolling Stones magazine means nothing. - DeQuinceysDiet, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13Prince is an incredible artist on a far greater scale than anyone you just listed there. If those are your touchstones for great music, lady, you might just have the whitest taste in music on the planet.
- username7410, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13Is that a insult or a compliment? Moby? lol
- bemenaker, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13Not just hip hop, all the over produced crappy ass emo rock and pop rock ***** out there.
I have to say, I think there is a lot of good hip-hop too, but it's a totally different taste. - bloominoctober, on 10/10/2008, -1/+13The Prince clip was totally unexpected. Totally awesome. And, coincidentally, totally on guitar.
- timfitz99, on 10/10/2008, -2/+12The Prince and Radiohead ones are the best... Neil Young's is also great, but he doesn't get do get into it as long as he'd like :)
- SwankRock3000, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10I love how he drops the guitar and pimps away when he's done.
- Hetman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9I saw John mayer play guitar with buddy guy. All I can say is he is both of them jammed out. John Mayer is a great guitarist probably one of the best in his age category.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9rofl
myspace - camaroz06, on 10/10/2008, -1/+10Prince....GODLIKE!
Oh man anyone remember his Super Bowl guitar devil penis silhouette solo? - flashingcurser, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8That was a well thought out tribute to George Harrison by prince, about as classy as Prince gets. To show how far Prince went to do it right, he even used a fender telecaster similar to the one George Harrison often used.

- ckup619, on 10/10/2008, -2/+10no David Gilmour? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaSSK09_mBc
- gllopc, on 10/10/2008, -2/+10Just my two stupid pennies: Prince is the only one who deserves to be on that list.
He's the most underrated guitarist ever. - NeonGod, on 10/10/2008, -2/+10Great list, though I'd pick Thurston Moore over Cobain in the "noise rock" category.
- lowtolerance, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7yeah, no kidding. i was never a big Prince fan, but dude can seriously wail on guitar. i had no idea.
- bitweever, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7Did you actually read the article? It wasn't titled 'Guitar players everyone knows are awesome'.
- bjubb, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7Dugg for John Frusciante
- LordoftheLoo, on 10/10/2008, -1/+8no no no, they are grunge.
- boojoy, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7When I was a wee lad my goal was to play that song, but I soon found out its very hard to play two different parts at the same time. And sing. And be a dude named Lindsey.
- bitweever, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7Yah, I was waiting on that. You guys are predictable.
- feignNU, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Let's not forget J Mascis or Will Reid from J&MC. For that matter, even Weld-era Neil Young ranks higher in my mind than Cobain, but if we go down that road we'd have to put Neil Young on the list three or four times since he plays so many different styles.
- revjustin2, on 10/10/2008, -2/+8Holy crap! Prince just freakin' pwns it in that video!
- cdawzrd, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Another good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abrKM1Z_te8
@oldhick - there was a gimmick where he would sing one song in falsetto every show. Not sure if they still do that, but did the 2 times I saw them. He has done Tiny Dancers, a couple of his own songs, and some others I forget - damienv5, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6I have been a fan since Purple Rain was on cassette (had to buy three of them because I kept wearing it out) and even though it's an R&B record, he simply kills on the guitar on several tracks. He plays like a dozen instruments and has enough recorded music to put out more post-mortem stuff than Biggie and Tupac combined. A true genious of our time and incredibly under-rated.
- palehorse864, on 10/10/2008, -4/+10Dugg for Lindsey Buckingham.
More greatness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC0Gd9EFa7g
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO9e_HiVB34 - 5fifteen, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6That performance completely changed my opinion on Prince. Well done.
- gllopc, on 10/10/2008, -4/+10Oh - you mean hip hop?
(I know - this comment is never popular, but I think many would agree) - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+7Alex Lifeson. La Villa Strangiato. Exit Stage Left.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQYOfMuPHug - 1Bad, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6I never new Prince was such a beast on the guitar. That was amazing.
- youknowsit, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Prince has always been a guitar legend, he's pulled of stunts like that numerous times!
- feignNU, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5not quiiite "unexpected", but you are right, Gilmour was pretty godly in his heyday.
- lowtolerance, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5kurt cobain wasn't the greatest guitar player, i don't think anyone would argue against that(although i think guitar player magazine or one of those types ranked him number one some years back). but where kurt really shone was evoking so much emotion out of really simple musical structures. if your kid can play like that, i would love to hear it.
