{ Lick That Riff! }
So, I was browsing the web the other day and I came across an article on the 1950′s being a great decade for the guitar. And then that got me thinking about which decade was the greatest for guitaring in general. They have all been great decades for guitaring; The 50′s with the likes of Chuck Berry and Les Paul, the 60′s with Hendrix, Harrison and Clapton, the 70′s with Paige and Young, the 80′s with Perry and Hammett, the 90′s with John Frusciante and Kurt Cobain and the Naughties with Jack White, Alex Turner and Dave Grohl. So what I would like to no is, what do you think the greatest decade for guitar was?
Tell me your thoughts in the first of my weekly polls below.

I don’t know about this
I mean I think the best years are 70′s, 80′s and 00′s as the older years had things like punk and goth when it was first introduced but also the 90′s (as some rock bands started out then) so I will add the 90′s lol! x

So which one are you picking? lol I personally think the 60′s was the best time for music in general and guitaring. The 50′s is where electric guitar was really first introduced and the 60′s was when it became mastered.
I think the guitar as became mastered in the 80′s, tapping, arppegios, squealing harmonics, palm mutting, shreding, floyd rose, Randy Rhoads, Malmsteen and Van Halen.

Hmmm I suppose you have a point. I still love the 60′s best though lol I just have a general problem with the 80′s as a whole. Maybe the guitaring was the best but the general music in the 80′s was the worst. But I suppose thats differing from the original question asked.
I think that the 70′s where the real guitar decade, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and the Lynyrd Skynyrd guitar team played the blues like no one did before, with energy,power and feeling. No hi-tech caps with loud squeals, no mega-diving whammy bars and no excessive distortion, everything balanced for the best sound you can hear from a guitar. 70′s Rock.
the 60s whould not have been the same without hendrix

Guitar wouldn’t have been the same without Hendrix. Neither would life in general.

I think the decades have all been guitar years. I’m been blessed to have lived through most of the years. However, the things that guitarists are doing now totally blow me away. I would have to vote for the 00′s, because of the quality of players we have today. I have a 9 year old student doing Metallica and Stairway to Heaven. I was a three-chorder when I was 9.
