One reason why greatest guitarist lists are redundant

Might seem slightly odd from someone who's spent a fair chunk of my life both playing with guitarists and as a guitar player myself but a while ago I came to the conclusion that there's only really two guitarists I genuinely enjoy hearing solo for more than about 30 seconds.

 

Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.

 

Very different players and probably not the most technically profficient but in terms of listenability and 'playing for the song' for me no one else gets close.

100% agree with J. Mascis, one of the absolute greatest rock guitarists of all times.

 

It's just astonishing the amount of emotion he is capable of channeling into his otherwise usually relatively shreddy solos.

 

When it comes to jazz though Bill Frisell is unparalleled.
