Who's the best Gutarist in the 2013 lineup?

[sonicc]

Hardwell does a pretty dope air guitar

[Pee Wee Herman's Hermits]

Y'all dumb if you think Johnny Marr is a better guitarist than J. Mascis.

J Mascis is undoubtedly one of the best guitar players ever and a true virtuoso. I have never heard anyone rip such beautiful melodic solos with so much ease.

Composition wise I would say Marr is one of the best as well. His total body of work might be a little stronger and he is a little more versatile.

I dunno, it's kind of a toss up to me. But I expect Mascis to put on a better live performance.

Jake from JEFF The Brotherhood is the best 3 string guitar player on the lineup.

That's songwriting.

[IlliniQ]

Squire of Stone Roses - like Best possible combination. Of Hendrix and Roger McGuinn

Lou and Johnny are in RS's top 100. J shredded at FYF. Sad that Morrissey made all the money and Johnny was the genius behind the sound.

Fuck RollingStones top 100. And Fuck Morrisey.

[Pee Wee Herman's Hermits]

That's songwriting.

Right, because the songs/riffs the guitar player writes has nothing to do with who'm we consider best.

If that were the case we would all be raving about Steve fucking Vai or that Asian kid on Youtube with the baseball cap.

[bmack86]

No, because that's simply technical playing. J. can play technically but also with nuance and beauty. Marr can't make his guitar sing the way Mascis can, even if he writes some fantastic songs. He's more the Edge approach: tone, riffs and attention to detail.

Johnny Marr and John Squire

This. honorable mention Graham Coxon.

[tral!]

This. honorable mention Garhan Coxon.

Is he the guitarist for Bulr?

Speaking of: cr****

[heart cooks brain]

Did anyone say J. Mascis?

[amyzzz]

Is he the guitarist for Bulr?

Yeah I typoed. I fixed it immediately. You're fast!

[heart cooks brain]

There ya go.

In July 2007, Fender released the J Mascis signature Jazzmaster, in honour of the Dinosaur Jr frontman. This model is much the same as previous Jazzmaster models aside from its J Mascis bridge (the Fender equivalent of the Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge), and its unusual purple sparkle finish. It is currently the only model of Jazzmaster in production with a matching headstock.

Well Mascis certainly has him beat as a "gutarist"

J Mascis
Johnny Marr
John Squire
Lou Reed

Anyone else belong in that group?

[BoCBoC]

Mascis and Marr deserve better than this shitty thread. They are miles apart stylistically so they do not deserve comparison. They both are the Great Coachella 2013 Guitar Gods.

EDIT: The VU is one of my top 5 all time favorite bands. Dinosaur Jr and The Smiths do not even go in the Top 20 for me. But when you compare the overall body of work of the 3 on the guitar alone Reed doesn't top those guys.

[RotationSlimWang]

Hey... hey guys?

Dinosaur Jr is unlistenable.

[JoeCthulhu]

Giving some love here to Brian King of the Japandroids.

[Antoine3323]

This year's Gary Clark, Jr has to be Reignwolf

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Nick Zinner is pretty to fun watch play guitar.

[greghead]

Jake from JEFF The Brotherhood is the best 3 string guitar player on the lineup.

Only 3? What a lazy bastard.

[Kirby77]

Well this ones an easy one for me. it has to be John Squire of The Stone Roses.

[FEELS]

I love Johnny Marr just as much as the next person, but yeah, it's undeniably Mascis

[Zafocaine]

Hey... hey guys?

Dinosaur Jr is unlistenable.

True. Plus, Dinosaur Jr is easier to listen to than the Stone Roses.
