Re: most overrated guitarist


I did a search and to my surprise there doesn't seem to be a poll about this yet. At least not that I can see.

Re: most overrated guitarist


I refuse to participate because Eric Clapton is not in the poll, and he is by far the MOST overrated guitar player of all time.


yea I said it .

I'm sorry, I forgot that every discussion needs a poll so we can draw conclusions

Re: most overrated guitarist


I have to say that anyone who says that any of these guitarists are overrated, doesn't know what he or she is talking about. They're all great.

Re: most overrated guitarist


Also, looking at that list... Cobain and the Edge shouldn't really win because everyone KNOWS they're crap, thus they can't be over-rated.

Re: most overrated guitarist


For me its more like a "Who isn't overrated" in which case I leave out :

Buckethead - I've yet to see something he can't play
Herman Li - Not that great actual song writing but the man can do solos
Dimebag - Really? He was one of the best, and it's not even super technical playing either

Re: most overrated guitarist


While Clapton might be overrated, he's (actually, he was) no slouch at all. His earlier playing is some of the finest, most innovative blues rock playing ever. A lot pf people seem to take him and his playing for granted. The base for 90% of your standard rock licks come from such players as Clapton. Right now, he's washed up though, and I do agree he still holds an undeserved aura, considering his current playing.

I just had to vote for Slash though. I still don't know if a guitarist can be overrated, but he is certainly overly exposed.

Re: most overrated guitarist


Voted for Slash (nothing special and nothing too innovative)... Hammett (too simple and straight-forward) and Herman Li (sloppy and g*y ) are also overrated...
