Growing up i was always about thrash and death metal. But warren and george are 2 of my favorite guitar players. they fucking kill it dude.
Carlos Santana was mentioned but was not included..why?
Don't worry everyone, the 80s will be back in 56 years ????
Nobody love Richie Blackmore Because He is number one. He is s category himself Listen how Steve Vai, Joe Satriany Ien Anderson talk about him
What’s the song at 11:00?
That was scotti hill not Dave sabo
shredding drives me up a wall and is so freaking boring! I dislike and avoid the craps!
FYI Rick, Scotti Hill played the I Remember You solo
We want Moore as in Gary.
Anybody to be so kind as to tell me the name of the song that Chris Degarmo and Michael Wilton are playing at 14:00? I think it is Queensryche but can't place that song, sounds sick!!
The shredders and supper shredders are not musicians.
They are merely noise makers.
This vid is proof that great guitar players are like rats. For every one you see there are 100 more. Talent is everywhere. Most of it is undiscovered or disregarded.
Vito Bratta
Frank Marono
Soar
They all sound like fast mush
Rick Emmet, Kerry Livgren, Rich William’s, Greg Howe, Steve Howe, Steve Lynch, Jeff Watson, Steve Steven’s, Frank Gambale, Buck Dharma, Joey Tafola, so many it goes on & on & it’s all good !
GOD BLESS DAYDREAM NATION..IT GOT ME AWAY FROM ALL THIS CRAP…. ALL MY RESPECT TO YOU SEÑOR RICK.
I feel like James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine are guitar heroes from the 80s and are VERY influencial!
Great to see Dave Meneketti in there Rick. So many people forget this guy.
Not sure why Buckethead is on the 1980-1989 list. Other than the song he entered in a contest in the 80's, the earliest recorded work from him starts in 1991.
Vivian Cambell
No Ritchie Kotzen? ????
What is the name of the song that queensryche was doing
Great piece. Also love the little title notes like “notice the pinky”. This is what makes Rick the best at what he does. Enthusiasm and knowledge.
I will always view Randy Rhoads as the best guitarist of the 80s and possibly ever
I think you should do a whole video on Brian Setzer
And again, I'd suggest someone from Brand X: John Goodsall (r.i.p.).
Rick, I’m a fan of your channel. But I’m WILDLY disappointed from not seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan on this video
Super Shredders don't interest, intrigue, or register with me. They all sound the same, playing notes really fast with no bending, no feel, no expression is very boring and dull.
Richie Kotzen!?
SRV!!!!
Gary Richrath
You missed Fripp. What King Crimson was doing in early 80s with guitars was about as innovative as it gets.
Love all these players. I would have liked to include Paul Reynolds in the “Sonic Landscape” category. His sound was and still is unique.
Vinnie Moore
Buckethead is from another plane
1:24 SHAWN LANE!!!!!! I’ve watched so so many videos of yours and only heard his name twice including this video. Shawn was also super shred on piano. His idol is was Allan Holdsworth. Please please please do a long video on him
Paul Simon, you left out Paul Simon?
It is a pitty, you were focused too much on speed hevay metal guys
I would have thrown CC Deville, Ritchie Blackmore and Prince in there. And I’m sure I can think of a few more, but you listed a ton of great players.
You forgot RICK BEATO
unfortunatly they all look ridiculous. wtf were they thinking dressing like that
How could you ever just mention Randy Rhoads and then neglect to even have a clip of him playing anything honestly not to sound to dramatic I was a bit surprised since in the minds of thousands of guitar players and listeners RR is far above the level of most of the players you played video clips of and not even a mention of Terry kath of that little band called Chicago
Adrian Smith and Dave Murray
Perhaps Saga's virtuoso Ian Chricton could have made it onto the list as an amazing solo and rhythm player but they were always bigger in Europe than they ever were in the USA. The fact that he's still touring at age 67 and remains blazingly fast and melodic is evidence of his skill.
Honestly, I've been playing guitar now for about 24 years I think, an if I'm being completely honest stuff like this really makes distinguishing who the best was/is basically impossible. The truth is there are so many guitar players out there who are great in one way or another. Innovative, fast, melodic, you name it there's someone out there who pushes the envelope. This list cites a bunch of older generation players. And there's quite a few. You know how many there are out there now probably. I completely understand that music is subjective an a matter of taste. So whoever you believe is the best you're 100% welcome to that. But there is theoretically a way to measure skill. An doing so would be an incredibly tedious task. But saying EVH is the best or Jimi Hendrix, literally just seems idiotic at this point. Innovators of there time? Absolutely. But best on an objective technical level. I doubt it. There's so many styles, genres and techiques. It's hard to compare a player like randy rhodes to someone like Tommy Emanuel for instance. Two completely different styles, and techniques. I'd bet my last dollar there are things both could do that the other couldn't. An at that point you gotta ask yourself, does it even make sense to compare these two? Idk, people always cite someone like EVH as being the best. An honestly, hes a good player no doubt about it. But I've never been a fan of his style. But thats besides the point when just taking about sheer skill. Does anyone in the world really think EVH is better than Buckethead? Or Guthrie Govan? Remember, I'm not talking abiut their art, just their skill and technique. Do you really believe theres absolutely anything Eddie could've played that Guthrie would be like, "I'm stumped". I highly doubt it. But I am on the other hand willing to bet Guthrie could stump Eddie. Guthrie is just a better player. Technically. But no one wants to say such a thing because Eddies reputation. Like I said, as an artist you can say he's the best all day long. But there's literally children that could play circles around him today. An everyone cites him as being the inventor of tapping. Idk where this got started but he did not invent tapping. He expanded it. He brought it to another level as well as made it know through simply being in mainstream music. But for the love of God Eddie Van Halen did not single handedly invent tapping. You can find prof of this in old videos on youtube. Frank Zappa was tapping in the late 60s I believe. Just go look. But here's my question okay. If in actuality Eddie brought tapping to a new level, why does he get comparibly more praise for his tapping than Buckethead who did the same? Think about it. Buckethead didn't invented tapping. But he brought it to a higher level. 4 finger tapping. Complex licks and patters. You can reasonably argue that Buckethead did more than Eddie with it. Yet Eddie gets praised. Its more like hes cemented in as something that doesn't actually appear to be true if you look into it. This is where people usually jump in a and say, "well Eddie started it. That's why". Which again, is not true. And that's my point. He didn't do anything any more special than other players. But we're not praising them the way people praise Eddie. Tosin Abasi basically invented his own weird thumb technique or whatever. A player like John Petrucci is amazed by it. Wheres Tosins prais? He ACTUALLY invented something. An it's easy to say I'm saying this because I'm not a fan of Eddie or just dismiss what im saying as idk what I'm talking about. You're welcom to make those assumptions. But if you don't question what I'm saying, it basically proves my point that people just say so-and-so is the best and everyone else follows suite. Like I said, there's the artistic aspect but there IS a way to objectively measure a musicians skill on things like accruacy and speed. Idk. Tell me Eddie Van Halen is the best guitar player in that sense an I'll show you a 10 year old from Uganda that can play circles around him. ????
James Hetfield and Adrian Smith. 2 of the most influential players of my generation. Hetfield’s riffs and Smith’s melodic and beautiful carved out solos, almost like vocal lines. ????
Lita, but no SRV? That's a major street-cred deduction.
There 'is' "audio+video' of Randy Rhoads, Rick. Just wonder why you didn't put it in this. Randy was reaching a new area, tonally, during his time in The Blizzard of Ozz. I think, had he lived, he would have started using noise gates like Rocktron's HUSH rackmounted units to get rid of the 'unwanted' squealing that he had to deal with in his tone stack. But he was quick on the volume pedal when dealing with it. Like Eddie VH was with the guitar's volume knob, which is paramount when playing through a high-gain amplifier. Can't have all that 'unneccesary' shrieking going on when you're not playing. But overall, a good video here! UPDATE: (3/27/2024) I no more than commented on not seeing any 'Randy Rhoads'-footage in this one, than I saw that Rick B. had ALREADY done a 'Previous' video doc and had included some of Randy Rhoads' "Quiet Riot"-footage, where Randy would do his solo back in Quiet Riot's 'Starwood'-days. Apologies, Mr. Beato!
