Default Re: Best Guitar Players of All Time

I've been playing/studying guitar for virtually my entire life (27). The #1 guitar player of all time (if there is such a thing) is Django Reinhardt .

LOL at John Mayer. In Austin, TX (where he is from) he would get kicked off the stage at any number of SRV-obsessed blues clubs. He is an average (at best) guitar player.

John Mayer's biggest problem is he has just really started to showcase his guitar skill in his most recent album. He has stated publicly that he originally made poppy albums to appeal to the mainstream and guarantee his success. But, his most recent two albums and especially the most recent start to show off his guitar chops. Anyone who has seen his recent live stuff, or his work with the John Mayer Trio knows that he is a legitamite guitar player. I have no doubt that he will be mentioned alongside Clapton in 30 years.

Pls, tell me this is a joke?
