What about my boy Jerry Cantrell

It's interesting to see all of the youtube and tiktok guitar heroes who seem to play a lot and riff with ideas and cool changes--but without ever really turning it into music. It's like....micro guitar performance. Absolutely something I find appreciable as a player, because I am still a intermediate player--I'm certainly not as good as them. But it does make me wonder what the point of it all is, and like, what that means--generationally--about this batch of guitar players. Is it a progression? Like a second or third generation of kids whose parents or grandparents were guitar players of a lesser caliber, but who aspired to rock gods of the day?

To each their own maybe. My "end goal" of guitar is to play all the great songs I want to and augment my own songwriting ability, and to hopefully someday have a level of proficiency that elevates my own understanding of how music works. Lastly--I am shamefully another bedroom guitarist. How do people join bands anyway? How do you play with other people? I know I would really benefit from playing with others but I'd hate to show up in a room full of strangers and having to find my way to the right note or key the entire time like a jerk. I know I can learn at home--and I am--but you can learn so much more intuitively, and usually a lot faster, by doing something with peers.

Anyway, technical mastery is literally meaningless to me in lists like these. Whether you're some high-tech super-shredder or a guy playing classical guitar it just doesn't matter. That's impressive, it's even music--but it's not interesting. Notes aren't interesting. Compositions are interesting, dynamics are interesting. The most proficient nobodies will gradually slide around and off of this list but there's something more to guitar than sheer technical proficiency.

For me it's

Robert Johnson, most influential blues guitarist
Jimi Hendrix, most influential modern rock guitarist
Davy Graham, most influential folk guitarist
John Renbourn, one of the most virtuosic guitarists full stop
