I don't know if I'd call him "amazing". He's alright, but if you took away the backing music what you're left with is pretty basic. Mydrox's examples on the other hand: Wow.

I don't know much about guitars, but it looks like he's just repeating the same thing with his right hand and doing simple movements with his left.

Okay, so yeah, the guy in the OP is essentially repeating the same riff (but being able to play it in the first place is impressive in itself). He's not "that great".

Drox, both of those are amazing. Playing acoustic guitar like the first guy did is a very hard skill to get down, and the innovation in the second video was awesome.

Milo, both awesome too. :D

And Fuzz, fastest picker doesn't equal fastest guitar player. That guy's pretty overrated in my opinion.

Not to mention its not about who is the best... in my post I said he a another great music player which is to say there is room for other great players as well. =3
Going around and posting "This is the better player" just seems silly to me. Music is in the eye of the beholder... or I guess I should say ear of the beholder. it will always be different to everyone.

Spoiler! :
Listen to the bass and drums as well. Led Zeppelin thrived because they could play so well together.

Average. These guys are amazing at guitar.
Spoiler! :


Satriani and Vai have played with, and acknowledge this guy as an absolutely amazing guitarist. He has won "best acoustic fingerstyle" in Guitar Player magazine four years in a row. How do I know this? Because he is the grandfather of my younger brother.



Already mentioned, but I thought you may like him. And yes, he looks like Lord Voldemort.



Died too young, and deserves more credit. This was the guy that Hendrix looked up to.



Beat you to it Lord =P



The dude was pretty much on one permanent trip, and it shows in his music, but then again, who else is awesome enough to make a song about muffins?

I could put Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael-Angelo Battio here, but I don't rate them. Sure, they have technical prowess, but their music sounds like arse, and being an amazing guitarist is more about creating beautiful melodies, and making a guitar sing, than it is about uber-fast runs and solos.
Edit: Shit, I forgot Knopfler.



P.S. Not to put you down or anything, but once you can play this in it's entirety, then I'll acknowledge you as a good guitarist. I can, and just by learning it, I progressed miles in my ability. Also, my mum knows Dire Straits well enough to get us free tickets to their gigs =P

I think you missed the point KaosuHamoni >.> Everyone has been posting videos of people on youtube who play for fun... you seem to have posted Professional Bands.

Well Milo, I think we've turned this into a "showcase your taste in music, whose is better?" kind of thread.

Kaosu, you have great taste in my opinion. All of those are very skilled players, but Zeppelin is not average.. ._.

Here's a cover of a Metallica rendition by a fingerstyle guitarist that I've always admired, but never done any research on, name's Tomi Paldanius. I think he died a few years back..



He did a great version of Classical Gas too but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I was referring to the OP... =P

However, I feel that a lot of people have done Zep's songs better than Zep, for example, I give you Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

I heard that cover a while back and loved it - however, it's a different style entirely.

Jimmy Page showcased talent across the entire spectrum of guitar. If he wanted to play an entirely fingerstyle version of Stairway to Heaven, he sure as hell could've (well he still can, not dead yet :P). I'm not putting down Rodriga y Gabriela though; they're amazing in their own sense.

Other than Stairway to Heaven, I've never seen a cover of a Led Zeppelin song that I've liked. It's probably because few people nowadays have heard anything other than Stairway to Heaven - I bet most couldn't tell me which albums it was featured on.

Led Zeppelin IV. It was the third album I ever owned, the first and second, being By The way, and Dark Side Of The Moon respectively. ;)

Well technically that album didn't have a name - it was also referred to as ZoSo and Four Sticks. (;

It was also found on The Song Remains the Same (soundtrack from the movie).

Not sure about this one, but it may have also been on either Early Days I or II (the ones with them all on the moon, dressed as astronauts). That one was only released on CD though, so eh.
