If you had asked me 4 days ago who was my favorite guitar player I would have said "Robert Fripp" but 3 days ago I've heard the album "Birds of Fire" (+++some other compositions)... and now I'm not so sure...
What about you??? |

Would you catch the final words of mine?

McLaughlin. By far and at every conceivable level, much better.

You can't compare these two like for like... sorry.... both equally brilliant and totally different. Love them both.

These are both guitarists that I've never honestly cared for, but I've listened to both extensively over the past few years. I have to vote Fripp because I really enjoy his ambient work with Eno, which I think is way more interesting that McLaughlin's gnarly indo-jazz guitar-based fusion foolery.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Perhaps we could contrast them. Perhaps they should do an album together. Edited by Slartibartfast - January 25 2012 at 16:11 |

Technically speaking McLaughlin. I'm not considering the composing skill.

I like McLaughlin's earlier stuff with Miles, but really don't care for his fusion/corn playing. Fripp I've liked a lot of what he has done, but the only stuff that is really remarkable IMO is the ambient things he has done
yeah basically this Edited by Triceratopsoil - January 25 2012 at 16:29 |

I assume he meant technically (as I choose McLaughlin too), but if composing were the case then the poll made no sense.

McLaughlin is technically much better, but I much prefer the types of music Fripp plays

I LOVE
As Robert himself has said before, McLaughlin expresses so much emotion in every riff, every strum, whereas RF has worked so hard to get out his mind and infuse even an ounce of emotion into his playing. don't get me wrong: I revere Robert Fripp and the astounding contributions he has made to music. I just find, at day's end, I get more enjoyment and value from the emotion coming through JM's playing.

Both are in my top 10 for guitar players but I'm of course going to with Fripp on this one. I just enjoy his style and sound better.

Mclaughin as a guitar player. Fripp has better compositions methinks tho

I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

Fripp has done some superb subtle work, unique sounds and some powerful stuff as well. But John has mindblowed my mind more times, either with Lifetime, Davis, The Orchetra or solo.
That, of course, if speaking solely as guitarists and not composers.

Fripp has admitted he was so heavily influenced by the Mahavishnu Orchestra to the point that he stopped listening to them so as not to become seduced by the sound.
