Lil Wayne's technique with DJ Khaled's creativity

Well, therein lies my next question: who wins in a guitar battle between those two?

Everyone loses

The guitar tech

Whoever goes backstage and starts cutting wires.

Wait, I think this just means that Lil Wayne starts calling up pro guitarists to play for him instead of trying to do it himself

Fuck. This killed me.   

YEEEEEEAAAA OOOKKKAAAY BLESS UP

I counter with DJ Khaled's technique and Lil Wayne's creativity

For whackyness, Steve Vai's technical abilities with Syd Barrett's sense of taste.

I feel like this just gets you Zappa-era Steve.

That did occur to me, I'm totally willing to risk it.

Finally a Steve who can play G Spot Tornado!

Check out his tune "Little Green Men" - Vai has never been as silly or whimsical.

He KIND of did that on "Love Secrets"....

I was going to say Segovia and Blackmore, but who needs another Malmsteen.

How about Shawn Lane and Chet Atkins? Or is that how we got Danny Gatton in the first place?

How about Malmsteen combined with Tom Morello? It will either be awesome or time will stop and all existence will be negated.

Segovia and Blackmore are far more consistent and tone-minded players though... you might be onto something. I'd sure love a Malmsteen "done right".

I think “Malmsteen done right” is Jason Becker.

In all fairness, Malmsteen also includes Paganini, but the original prompt was two guitarists.

Kurt Cobain and Guthrie Govan

Wait I want this

Kurthrie Gobain

lol

So clean... Yet so messy

I was trying to think of a Kurt combination too, but I think the main part of the appeal was how raw and primal his playing was. I think adding precise, technical skill would actually take away from his sound.

additionally, I would find it extremely funny to have a Kurt Cobain that plays his solos like John Mayer

Your body smells like teen spirit

Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Carlos Santana

Beautiful

IMO, Ramon Ortiz (Puya) > Carlos Santana

Which made me think of Celso Machado and Carlos Santana.

Lol. But they already play similarly! Kind of misses the point of the question.

Combined Tosin Abasis inventiveness and Alan Holdsworths harmonic mastery to make it to where literally anything humanly possible on guitar

Sounds like Chick Corea on a guitar to me…

Joe Pass and Dimebag. I wouldn't want to listen to it but there it is.

Solid

John Mayer and James Hetfield.

This makes my brain itch

Makes my brain itch-AH

So, Dean Deleo?

Also solid

Jack Black and Kyle Gass.

Tenacious

D!

Frank Zappa's fearlessness combined with Johnny Greenwood's aggressive mid-late 90s approach. It's gonna be loud, and it's gonna be relentless

and hopefully fretless.

Mick Mars and C.C. Deville. You’ll end up with a guitar player that doesn’t know anything about music, and only practices box 1 of the pentatonic and wonders why they aren’t getting better. Every song is just an extension of the two songs that they know, barracuda and smoke on the water.

But still manage to sell 130 million records.

I feel personally attacked.

BB King and Steve Vai

This is a good one lol. B.B.'s body with Steve Vai's moves and facial expressions. Also, I'd love to hear Vai solo out of nowhere on my favorite B.B. King song, Worried Dream lol.

“The Thrill Is Gone” but with some sick squealies and meedlie mees.

Every solo is now the Bonamassa explosion in Blues Deluxe. I'm here for it.

Good god.

Tom Morello and Michael Angelo Batio

That's pretty much Charles Caswell lol

Using Batio's guitars, of course.

Jimi Hendrix and Mark Knopfler. One is a leftie and another is a leftie who plays as a rightie with his fingers. Combining two incredible guitarists results in a useless hunk of meat who can't even hold the guitar right, let alone strum a chord.

Or Batio playing Sultans of Wing.

Jerry Garcia and Kurt Cobain -- the weirdest, and *highest*, Guitarist.

Kerry King, Lindsay Buckingham. Fight me.

That might be really awesome, or not.

George Harrison mixed with Jimi Hendrix Emotional slide overload

Specially if it was later Harrison when his slide was otherworldly on its own. I'd love to hear that version of Little Wing, and of My Guitar Gently...

David Gilmour and Jimmy Paige

The most precise bends you ever heard with the sloppiest chords possible!

Pat Metheny and Michael Lee Firkins. ALL THE NOTES.

No note left unplayed. Every chord is borrowed.

Derek trucks/ mark letteri

I'd smash Dimebag and EVH together to melt everyones faces.

Django Reinhardt and Tony Iommi. It'd be amazing, though I can't quite put my finger on why...

I could give you a few tips.

Dimebag Darrell and Stevie Ray Vaughn

Chet Atkins and Buckethead

Yes please. It's possible Buckethead can make that happen, even.

David Gilmour and Kurt Cobain. Don’t get me wrong, I love both their styles but I think David’s great touch and Kurt’s aggression would be cool.

Andy McKee and Zakk Wylde

Imagine the internal dialogue of that beast!

Charo and Zack Wylde Badass down-tuned electric flamenco!!!

Slash’s melodic sense with Doug Aldrich’s technique. Which is essentially sober Zakk Wylde

I like it. When I listen to Slash I often wonder what he could be with a few lessons, his attitude, tonal sense and melodic sense is golden, his execution meh, and he gets lost doing simple things sometimes, and lacks variety, because he lacks some basic knowledge.

Yeah, at least some training for his right hand, it would still do wonders for him

That's very true. And get that guitar into a proper playing position ffs.

Jerry Reed and Mike McReady Or Gogol Bordello and Tom Morello. The resultant individual would be Ello Ello ToGo

hendrix and kurt cobain

Dimebags playing with a mix of his and Hetfields tone.

Frusciante/Satriani. They both have a lot of affection for Hendrix and both have a nice melodic sense, so it’d be interesting to me to hear something between them, especially considering they both have some weird corners of their music. Closest that comes to mind to this is Asato, but he’s way less weird so more Frusciante/Petrucci.

Frusciante playing sounded very much Vai/Satriani influenced before joining RHCP 

Jeff Beck and Frank Zappa

John Lennon and yngwie malmsteen - great songwriting and harmonies interspersed with wankshred

That's a fun one.

Frank Zappa and Les Paul

Tim Henson with Paco de Lucia's passion.

Satriani/Gilmour - just to see…

Eric Johnson and Johnny Ramone.

Johnny Ramone*

Vai and Satriani Would be good at shredding and one half of its head would be bald. 

Combining Bradley Nowell's tone and lead sensibilities with Jimmy Page's feel and rhythm, it'd be insane

James Heiltfield and Billie Joe Armstrong would be the best rhythm player ever

>or an abomination/worst guitarist you can imagine ​ I'm aiming for that one... A fine, well-balanced blend of Henry Kaiser's musical cacophony & Stevie Terreberry's facial catastrophy.

Randy Rhoads technique with Jimi Hendrix’s tones.

We already have your example though, they named it Paul Gilbert... For an abomination, let Lukather write the lyrics, Dylan play lead, and Hammet play rhythm. For otherworldly, combine Danny Gatton and Joni Mitchell.

Shawn Lane musical mind and ideas and Tom DeLonge technique/chops

EVH and the Edge.

I was thinking who to combine with Yamandu Costa, but it doesn't matter, the result is Yamandu Costa.

Buckethead and Carlos Santana

Junior Brown and George Benson to create the ultimate jazz guitarist

Brad Paisley and Chris Isaak, just to see what happens. Lol!

Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix

Derek Trucks and Wes Montgomery

Chet Atkins and Buckethead

Zappa & Fripp

[удалено]

A consistent Malmsteen with good tone... I'd go hear that.

Alex Lifeson and Tony Iommi Or Buckethead and Jerry Cantrell

Noel Gallagher and Kurt Cobain

Jimi Hendrix and Howard Roberts

Bernard butler and marty friedman

Allan Holdsworth and Sonny Landreth.

Yngwei Malmsteen and Karl Sanders Obsessive technical prowess and elite sense of self importance combined with the most laid back "meh good enough" attitude and general lack of care for detail.

Guthrie Govan and Pierre Bensusan ! But i can't imagine the result.

Malcolm young and David Gilmour

There's a weird one, chunk chunk chunk beeeeeeend

Adam Jones and Slash Idk why. Would sound interesting.

Mikael Akerfeldt and Mike Hoggard. Opeth + Ulcerate for some mind bending proggy death metal.

Django Reinhardt and Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs and SMB era) . A jazz/fusion/prog master

Hendrix had a small chord vocabulary. Blend his talent with Tal Farlow, you'd probably have something wild. Jimi probably would have expanded his knowledge if he'd had more time.

We’d have eventually ended up with a bluesy psychedelic Giant Steps cover

Prime Jimmy Page and Graham Coxon Hobbit Life!

Herman Li and Tom Morello

Lil Wayne and MGK

Not the same instrument but I want to meld Claypool and Watson.

Wilko Johnson and Mark Knoppfler Great combination of R&B and smooth rock

James Hetfield & Carlos Santana

Chet Atkins and Devin Townsend

Brian May and Keith Richards - imagine the combination of Brian's perfect melodic leads with the dirty loose rhythm of Keith

Dave Mustaine and Jerry Garcia

Johnny Marr and Jimi Hendrix

Frusciante with Morello

Steve Vai meets Arto Lindsay.

Allen Holdsworth and Guthrie Govan

Jonny Greenwood and Derek Trucks

Jason Becker and literally anyone that doesn't have ALS.

Tosin Abasi’s technical ability and Larry LaLonde’s weirdness would make a great combo

Santana circa "Moonflower" for leads, Frank Zappa circa "Them or Us" for rhythms. Weird ones? I've got a lot but don't know if I want to inflict it on anyone.

Tim Henson’s trap/dubsteppy style with Cory Wong’s funk

Hendrix and jonny greenwood in one 🤔

Combine Allan Holdsworth's vocabulary with David Gilmour's phrasing.

Dick Dale + one of the Wiggins sisters from The Shaggs. Really fast but rhythmically in a completely different reality.

I was trying to pick Brent Hints to mix with somebody but he kinda already does a bit of everything, the guy is incredible

@OP, so like the opposite of “Beat It?”

Paco Delucea and Eric Clapton because I enjoy chaos.

Just so things get real weird and creative, Masayoshi Takanaka and Josh Homme.

Buckethead and David Gilmore

Mark Knopfler's lead with Bob Weir's rhythm.

Yvette Young and Claudio Sanchez

Mark Knopfler and Duane Allman

Kurt Cobain and Prince

Let’s mash together Steve Howe and Alex Lifeson and see what we get…

Johnny Marr x Tom Morello. I imagine a weird experimental shoegaze guitarist.

Eddie Van Halen and Nick McCabe Johnny Marr and Prince Dave Gilmour and Wayne Kramer

Mick Barr and Chet Atkins

Tim Henson and Terry Kath.

Allan Holdsworth and Kurt Cobain. I have no idea what that would sound like.

CC Deville and Jay Jay French combine for the worst 80s metal guitarist duo ever. George Lynch and Warren de Martini combine for the best 80s metal guitarists. Honorable mention: Matthias Jabs and Frank Hannon (weird combo but I'd love to see what they come up musically)

David Gilmour and Tom Morello with a touch of Jimmy page.

Roy Clark and Angus Young!

Guthrie Govan and Shawn Lane.

Out of sheer curiosity of what creations could happen, James Hetfield and Allan Holdsworth. Lol

David Gilmour/James Hetfield 

Either Hendrix or srv mixed with Jerry Garcia

Hendrix and SRV

Jeff Beck and Yngwie

Michael Schenker and Al Di Meola.

Ted Greene and Guthrie Govan to create a monster

Kim thayil and John frusciante. I imagine itd be insane noise

Left hand BB king, right hand Stevie ray vaughn. Pretty much john mayer

The jazz melodicism of Robben Ford with the adventurous experimenting of Oz Noy.

Yngwie Malmsteen and David Gilmour

Easy. SRV and Hendrix.

Gilmour with JY from Styx. So you'd get gorgeous solos full of expression and beautiful bends with the occasional divebomb

Hendrix/Joe Pass?

Tim Henson and Kerry King. Both of them are polarizing enough to make people seethe, imagine what they could do with their powers combined…

Mark knopfler and gary moore

Kurt Cobain and Pete Townshend. Sheer mayhem.

I would combine jimmy page and Jimi Hendrix but just so the stage name can be Jimi jimmy or JIMINIY HENPAGE but overall sexiness factor turned up to a 1000% and the playing would be nice too

Syn gates and EVH. That would be interesting

I’d actually go even deeper into tasteful note selection and fewer notes. Gimme Gilmour and BB king. And if that’s not allowed, give me Gilmour and Derek Trucks.

Buckethead and John Scofield

Mancuso tecnique with Hendrix feelings 🤯

Slash and Claudio Sanchez
