@@xaviergough9359 That is Blasphemy - an insult that shows contempt, disrespect or lack of deep respect concerning the creator and supreme being Edward Van Halen !
Really refreshing to see an acknowledged great guitarist name his four top guitarists, and to see that none of them would be on my own top four list! That's not to say he is wrong, because he is naming HIS top four, not mine. "Respect."
Smiths songs are deceptively hard to play. Attempting to master some of those more complex alternate picking guitar bits whilst keeping the rhythm and pace requires quite a lot of dexterity and skill.
Four is difficult: Eddie VanHalen, Jimmy Page, and sharing 3rd and 4th (Rhoads, Knopfler, Gilmour, Prince, Hendrix, Clapton, Tommy Iommi etc... 4 is too hard. I just know that Eddie and Jimmy are in the top 4. Fun to read every one!
Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Frank Zappa, Ritchie Blackmore ...and childhood heroes that got me to where I am today and still love and respect ...Tony Iommi, Brian May, Edward Van Halen, Randy Rhoads
Brian May, Neal Schon, EVH, Nuno...damn, I need more than four heads :) Beck, Scholz, Easton, Kath, Felder, Buckingham, Rich Williams, Mike Slamer, Page, Richrath, Shaw/JY, Lukather, Trevor Rabin, Steve Howe, Gilmour, Clapton, SRV, too many. Love them all. Same even more with lead singers! I have my Mt Rushmore , though ;) All great choices! Oh, here's an underrated duo; Barry Bailey & JR Cobb. ARS
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My Mt. Rushmore: Greg Howe, Dimebag Darrell, EVH, Yngwie J. Malmsteen. My selections are based not only on playing ability but more importantly on creativity. Each of these 4 players has an extensive body of works that is truly remarkable and legendary.
That's always my big complaint about these list of greatest guitarists or drummers - they are always rock (maybe you get an occasional BB King in there).
@@reddwood4971 A lot of guitarists list Beck as one of the best - almost a guitarist's guitar player. The public doesn't always give him his due because he isn't as flashy as a Page or Van Halen but his technical ability is second to none.
Another Mount Axemore that I have is all-time great guitar players that few people mention as all-time greats. They are Michael Schenker, Steve Lukather, Glen Campbell, and Rik Emmett
100% agree with you. And I forgot Tony Iommi. Also let's not forget the Styx boys: Shaw and JY. They rock as well. Crap, I almost forgot Richie Blackmore
Please have the Great Buckethead on your show because he is one of the best…And he plays other instruments he dances nunchucks and he’s a beautiful person inside and out
Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, George Lynch, Jake E Lee, and still, there are many more that can be and are on this list. Choosing only four is tough.
Maybe it is a generational thing as he says because for me it is Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, Paul Kossoff etc,. Doesn't have to be on an Edison Phonograph though so I'm not a total fossil.

its really nice to see people give credit to Brian May and especially Randy Rhoads
Neither belong to mount rushmore.
Definitely good to see nuno and extreme back rock needed this
Nuno should have been on the main show!
wow! i thought he was on the main show.
to be interviewed by rasan is a joke.
Nuno is such a talented musician.❤
Do you mean interviewee?
Nuno is the EVH of the 90s.. truly a quintessential artist
I wouldn't be mad if he toured in the EVH position with the remaining members of VH.
Nuno é o Nuno. Com seu talento, sua composições e sua mágica na guitarra. Nuno é genial.
actually vito bratta was the evh of the 90s

Rory gallagher, roy buchanann
Rory Gallagher is an icon
Johnny Marr is on my Mt. Rushmore because his guitar playing always makes me want to play guitar myself.
Same, I love playing Headmaster Ritual
Wow! You may want to venture out a bit.
im unfamilliar with him
I agree, Johnny Marr is brilliant.
Smiths songs are deceptively hard to play. Attempting to master some of those more complex alternate picking guitar bits whilst keeping the rhythm and pace requires quite a lot of dexterity and skill.
Alex Lifeson RUSH
Love it he is so underrated!!
Love Rush and Alex Lifeson is one of my favorite players ever!
That’s awesome he’s in my top 3 as well with Jimmy and Eddie!
Alex is fantastic! And very distinctive sound,he's in my top 10 for sure.
Yes!
As far as rock guitar players there plenty of names to be mentioned but as far as a guitarist one name comes to mind Andres Segovia
THIS!!!
Nuno is my EVH. My all time favorite!
Good to see Randy on his list.

Wow, you threw Prince in there. Nice.
Gilmour, Hendrix, Page, Beck, Frusciante it’s so hard to narrow it down lol
No Blackmore? Lol
Gary Moore
@@Claybraham91 No Jeff Beck?
Chet Atkins , don't sleep on him. I was watching him sweep pick in 1975 with his fingers.
Some of the most amazing playing I have ever heard is on a Chet Atkins w/ Les Paul album called 'Chester & Lester'. 100% serious
@@jameshusband3302 Agree 100%
Listen to what Lonnie Mack was doing in 1963 . Chicken Pickin. Wham .
These lists are subjective of course, but here's mine:
1. EVH
2. Brian May
3. Prince
4. Glen Campbell
5. Jimi Hendrix
Prince? really lol I mean he can play but I wouldn't put him in my top 5 or 10.
@@coolchickenboysYeah it’s his list. Prince can really play. And he’s a pop star 😂

Agree totally, everyone is entitled to their opinion. My personal favourites are 1 - Danny Kirwan, 2 - Slash, 3 - Rory Gallagher, 4 - Pete Townsend.
My personal 4: Page, Blackmore, Hendrix, EVH
Can’t argue with that.
So many great players. But if just limited to rock (no jazz or fusion or Flamenco or country picking) then for me it’s SRV, Beck and Blackmore.
That's always my big complaint about these list of greatest guitarists or drummers - they are always rock (maybe you get an occasional BB King in there).
Beck is definitely up there for me to
@@reddwood4971 A lot of guitarists list Beck as one of the best - almost a guitarist's guitar player. The public doesn't always give him his due because he isn't as flashy as a Page or Van Halen but his technical ability is second to none.
Mount Rushmore is DP "In Rock" = Ritchie Blackmore !
Mount Blackmore 😉
In my humble opinion it would be 1, Rhoads 2, EVH 3, Clapton 4, Gilmour. Honorable mention: Zakk Wylde.
*Rhoads*
EVH, Blackmore, Page...and then a tie between Michael Schenker & Gary Moore
Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, Les Paul, but, number one, my opinion "KING EDWARD VAN HALEN"
It always makes me smile that so many people have such diverse lists and yet most still have EVH on it
Schenker, Blackmore and VanHalen!
David Gilmour
GODMOUR.
Absolutely
💯
He’s definitely mine
Agreed. Shout out for SRV too.
George Lynch, Alex Lifeson, Warren Dimartini, Reb Beach, Frank Hannon, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani. All after Eddie.

Steve Lukather 100%
Rik Emmett for sure
Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Blackmore
What about Michael Schenker he was a big influence on Van Halen and Rhoads cited by Guitar Player Magazine.
I think I'm almost ready to put Nuno up there.
Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour - as far as guitar AND song-writing, there's nobody else!!
MK yes, DG, not as much.....
Knopfler is dope
I concur
David Gilmour had the best phrasing out of any guitarist of that period and probably has more memorable solos than just about anyone
Pete Townsend can write and play.
Alex Lifeson
Love him he's so underrated
@@Matty0923 Everything that has ever happened is underrated

EVH
Michael Schenker
Randy Rhoads

Just to name a few………
Duane Allman
Nuno actually has a really nice voice
Good list!
Where can we watch the full interview, not just listen? Thanks!
Nuno timelessly fine AF 😍❤🎸
For me.. Page, Iommi, J Cantrell, Slash
Rhoads yes!
Page, Rhoads, EVH, Jeff Beck
EVH, Gilmour, Page, Hendrix
My favorites are:
1. John Frusciante
2. David Gilmour
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Santana
Mine would be Alex Lifeson of Rush, Dean Castronovo of Journey, Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA, and Jim West of Weird Al
Nice!
I’m not gonna Google 3 and 4 since Deen is the drummer and Neil Schon is the guitarist for Journey. lol
Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA lmao god go listen to real players bro
Alex is on mine as well
Nuno meu rei eu te amo pra sempre
Steve Vai, Eddie VH, Neal Schon
Super ballsy of him to leave Hendrix out, but good on him to address it and defend his decision.
Just his taste I guess personally I'd remove Page and put Hendrix in there instead.
Not really, many have e surpassed Hendrix, many
Hendrix gets to much credit. He was good but but seriously.... He wasn't an all time great
Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Gilmour
David Gilmour, first in space.
👍
Bores me to tears.
Gary Moore! For me he had the best guitar tone of all times.
It's so hard to pick 4, but Moore and Jeff Healey are 2 of my faves
I agree. Jeff Healey was absolutely phenomenal, too.@@oldgold5848
Great list but where is Gilmour?!?
#48
Hendrix, Rhoads, Vaughan, Abbott, Zappa
Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, George Lynch, Jake E Lee, and still, there are many more that can be and are on this list. Choosing only four is tough.
Eddie, Hebdrix, Page abd Gibbons
Steve Lukather!!
I'd begin with Brian May...after that, so many greats.
I would say, Hendrix, Beck and halen.
My top three would be Gilmour on the top and Nuno and Navarro share the second.
Zappa. Holdsworth. Eddie VH. Fripp. Lifeson.
Jeff Beck
EVH the Mozart of my generation.
1.Jeff Beck 2. Jimi Hendrix 3.Duane Allman 4. John McLaughlin there that was easy.
Mine is:
Gary Moore
Eddie Van Halen
Brian May
Joe Satriani
Jimi Hendrix Ritchie Blackmore Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen for me...
The problem is my top 4 consists of about 10 names
Ian Thornley
Eddie, May, Nuno, Satch
EVH IS MY GOAT .
Yes…Pages influenced more players than anybody….just his vision and interpretations reached the masses more so than any other…good pick
Yes!
Tony iommi hello
Clapton, SRV, Knopfler, Mayer
Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Blackmore.
Paco de Lucía
Django Reinhardt
Nuno Bettencourt
Yngwie Malmsteen
That's my personal Rushmore.
Eddie V is #1
Gilmour, Buckethead, Vai, Lane, Holdsworth
Page. There’s an indefinable quality he has to his playing. He transcends mere guitar playing.
Howard Should Have Done This Interview.
people sleep on mark knopfler. dude's one of the best ever, imo.
Maybe it is a generational thing as he says because for me it is Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, Paul Kossoff etc,. Doesn't have to be on an Edison Phonograph though so I'm not a total fossil.
EVH, Jeff Beck, Paco de Lucía, Jimmy Page. That's hard to pick just 4.
Paco is probably the best to ever play
SRV
For me my top 5 growing up were Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, David Gilmour, Eddy Van Halen, Kirk Hammett. Now I would replace Hammet with Nuno
Stevie Ray Vaughn.
So underrated.
lol
Clapton, SRV, bb king, slash
Nuno has also mentioned Pat Travers as a big influence as well
Paige, May, Blackmore, Beck.
Dimebag, Malmsteen, Gilmore, Mustaine.
Jimmy Page
Rory Gallagher
EVH
Hendrix
They leave beeck out because he’s in his own category
