That's defintely an opinion question. I agree it doesn't really matter, but personally I don't think this post will get much debate, becuase its not a shred crowd. Sure everyone appreciates EVH for innovation, but hardly anyone likes Yngwie.

 

The history behind each is very interesting, and a good comparison. Both grew up listening to classical music, Yngwie inspired by Paganini, EVH by classical piano. Both are shred gods, and both receive a lot of criticism from all genres of guitarists, often labelled wankers and showoffs.

 

IMO:

I think both are equally good at what they do. EVH can hand Yngwie a new one when it comes to two-hand tapping, but Yngwie might be the better technical player overall.

Shut up and play.

What is your criteria for who is best?

 

Is is speed? Volume? Height of Jump?

 

You have to clarify how you have reached your conclusion. But in the end the only people who care are other guitar players, and that doesn't mean all of them. ;)

YM does get boring despite the fact of his technical ability, with his pompass assitude and scowling. EVH does'nt seem to get boring. Seems he's having fun and always got a wide grin. And yeah, he writes more memorable songs. :thu:
Don't sell anything. Just keep it all. Let it pile up and see it grow tall. Up thru the roof and into the sky. More is always better so pile it sky high.

Cooder rocks, man. Not only that, he got to play with a bunch of hip Cuban dudes a while back. Very cool.

gotMYgit ,

Taz is talking about Ry Cooder's playing on the movie soundtrack of Buena Vista Social Club .

 

You were probably kidding, and I missed that, right? :D My apologies. :)

 

You were referring to the Ry Cooder, Nicky Hopkins, Charlie Watts, Mick Jagger & Bill Wyman album, Jamming with Edward...correct?

EVH writes better songs, plays much better and more interesting rhythms, and has more interesting leads. He also sings, has cooler looking guitars, and parachutes in to stage to upstage Black Sabbath.

What is "BEST"? You might as well ask, "Which guitar is better, the Les Paul or the Strat?". I could tell you who I like more, but that's not what you asked.

As you undoubtedly suspect, there's no such thing as the best. What it almost always equates to is "Who do you prefer?" However, most people don't couch it in those terms.
