Who is the best guitarist with the worst technique?

[SalsaWood]

What's the name of that Italian guy who just played gibberish? Or would that be the worst guitarist with the best technique, IDK.

I hope your tonneau cover is ridgid so you can platform on it while you shred and drive slowly through the hood.

Check out that thing of beauty…

If you mean this guy, he's Brazilian.

David Chastain has something weird going on. I love his early albums and tried to emulate them. I thought he sounded completely unique but now I think it was because his right and left hands were totally out of sync when he played fast.
Check this out and imagine Vinnie Moore or Paul Gilbert playing these same lines.

Phil Collen has something similar going on, if you watch him kinda "engage shred mode" it's pretty obvious he doesn't really have the skills of other shredders, it's kinda like he becomes a one trick pony when he does it/he really can't be that creative or musical with it. I think the following video will illustrate what I'm trying to say:

Yea, this is him I think. Dude couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but can somehow play complete nonsense almost perfectly.

Goofy picking hand and spastic fretting hand, but damn it works.

Love Stanley Jordan. That's a good one.

No I think salsa is talking about Italian guy with the anglocized name, people boo him live like it's his thing

or are you thinking of that italian guy Stevie T bullied who is dead now?

 

[SalsaWood]

This is the guy. He's English, not Italian (sorry Italians). Richard Benson.

Love Stanley Jordan. That's a good one.

I think you're mistaken. He posted a video for the Stanley CLARKE band. But I agree, Stanley Jordan is incredible.

I meant Stanley Clarke but yeah....Stanley Jordan is incredible, too. I get those two mixed up all the time.

One Stanley stands above them all.

Steve Morse is an incredible guitarist, but you could argue that his picking technique is "bad technique" with how unconventional it is.

It's always been somewhat unconventional, but it's worth noting that his picking technique has changed over time due to his arthritis.
