@stevesilverman52964 жыл бұрын
It's been about 50 years since Barney Kessel famously said this: "No one plays better than Johnny Smith. They may play differently, but no one plays better." His quote went on from there along the same lines. I took him to mean that no one navigated the instrument with Smith's precision, possessed his command of dynamics or his ability to elicit such a beautiful tone from the instrument. Simply put, no one else displayed that kind of virtuosity. No one did then, and no one has since. Seville with a pick? Golden Earrings? Many have tried to repeat his efforts on here with that one and my hat's off to them. They'll tell you, as if they have a choice, they didn't match it. Wes said "I don't think I could ever play as perfectly as Johnny Smith." Pat Martino summed it up rather succinctly with "He had no impediments." Most players are of their time and that was true for Johnny as well. His contribution to the advancement of the instrument was his formidable use of closed voicings, the fact that he reset the bar with regard to what was technically possible and he was the first to bring a classical musician's sensibilities with regard to tone production to jazz guitar playing. Not surprisingly, he cited Segovia & Django as his influences. Putting Alan Holdsworth on a list with Charlie & Django doesn't make sense to me unless you're making a list of the players who were the most influential in their time. Further, Jim Hall belongs on anyone's top 10 list. If you don't think so, just listen to more Jim Hall or ask Pat Metheny or anyone still alive on your list. Alan Holdsworth invented his own language on the instrument and if that's not an accomplishment, I don't know what is. But has anyone heard his interpretation of Stella by Starlight or his unaccompanied arrangement of All the Things You Are? No, and they never will. That's apples & oranges. No one's list is going to align perfectly with anyone else's nor should it. But you need more stringent guidelines than the "none at all" approach displayed here. Best player: Johnny Smith. Best overall: Wes Montgomery. Best now: George Benson, hands down, game over, next question. Guitar players to watch: Julian Lage, Pasquale Grasso and first and foremost, Antoine Boyer.

Ponder was definitely influenced by Wes Montgomery, but established his own sound as a master soloist with a seemingly endless vocabulary.

@@JonesTonesGuitarThere is no greatest guitarist, certainly not in a scenario such as this where no boundaries were set in terms of style or approach, time period or anything else. Even with parameters such as one tune, one tempo, one take, the same number of choruses, all occurring on same day and assessed by a panel of the same, seasoned judges - impossible considering most are no longer with us - and unnecessary because it's not a competition. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder and too much rests upon what's passed through that ear before and how much was actually understood. There are names being bandied about on here that don't belong on a top 100 list. Most knowledgeable guitar players would agree Lenny was a one off. A special guy, an innovator, a musical genius. He was born with perfect pitch, worked hard to develop a number of disparate techniques and managed to incorporate them into an immediately identifiable sound. A great artist as well as a unique one, no question. But at times, an unfocused, tragic figure who came to a most untimely and unfortunate end. Comparisons are inevitable, sometimes fun, rarely enlightening but very much a part of human nature. Whether it's ballplayers, politicians, beer or steakhouses, everyone's got their favorites. If we must hand out ribbons however, the Blue one would have to go to Wes. The least contrived, the most lyrical, the least reliant upon set licks or runs, his playing was always focused and his swing was unerring. His knack for developing a solo over many choruses while maintaining continuity from single notes to octaves and finally, four part harmony, hasn't been matched. There are more modern, sophisticated players playing more challenging music, but better? I haven't heard it.. Any fan of Lenny's (I certainly count myself among them), would appreciate Antoine Boyer, 24, and of course, Ted Greene should you not know who he was.

He’s one of my favorites and often gets lost in the shuffle when people compile these lists. Definitely agree with the inclusion of George Benson and Charlie Christian ( just for the historical importance alone). Schofield and Methany are not my cup of tea, but again, it’s subjective. Holdsworth is unique and impossible to classify, arguably the most musical of the “face-melting” type of guitarists, an approach I generally don’t find all that interesting, though I acknowledge the technical skill involved. I probably would include Jim Hall, a sadly neglected player, and maybe even Oscar Moore of the Nat King Cole Trio, just to have a personal favorite out of left field who might not be on anyone else’s list.

Lenny Breau accomplished some things in fingerstyle jazz guitar which were path-breaking and unique, but he was also his own worst enemy in that his drug habit cost him what could - maybe should - have been a brilliant career. Maybe there needs to be a separate list for solo fingerstyle jazz guitar performers, he'd definitely merit inclusion to that. But even though he played in a few traditional settings early in his career - it is hard to measure his career versus someone like Pat Martino or Kenny Burrell, because what they did and what Lenny did were so different.

One could imagine him as the Bill Evans of the guitar. Pasquale Grasso for combining awesome technique with melodic sense. James Blood Ulmer for creating a space for the guitar in Ornette Coleman's world and for his distinctive style. Lenny Breau. Like Joe Pass, Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian, Breau was a transcendent player. This group deserves a special category -- the outliers.

Artistry and skill are just the first test. If he also happens to be a great composer then that significantly narrows the field to a handful. Actually I can only think of one - Pat Metheny - the Mozart of jazz composers who happens to be a great guitar player.

Good selection.One great player,rated by other players,was Ike Isaacs.He was very fluid with chord melody and was Denny Wright's favourite player.

Great to see Grant Green in here! My boy has played with Grant Green Jr since he was 9yrs old when the boys came over to the UK. He’s on here aged 9, 16, 18 Just search Ben bebop jazz or Ben Steele jazz

My faves: Benson at the top. Amazing lines AND amazing chord melody. Abercrombie, Martino, Jim Hall, Gambale is an amazing Bop player.
