You go! I happen to prefer Andy's, but probably not due to knowing the difference in their techniques, but just the "sound" that comes out. I don't know what it is, but Andy has a very distinctive style. I enjoy both, but if I had to choose one over the other, Andy wins. oops, I guess maybe he wins for some songs. For the slower, more fingerwork intensive songs, I'd have to pick Dom. There I go, being the mom again touting the positive attributes of both of my kids! Horrible question "who do you like better!"

Anyone who thinks for even a minute that Dominic Miller is a better guitarist than Andy is a complete moron and should look up the definition of the word "better." Andy has been playing guitar longer than Dominic has been alive. One way to tell who is better is to listen to as much of both of their music as possible, try playing as much of their music as possible on guitar, and then it would be so obvious who is better that it is ridiculous to make a comparison. Now if your comparison is just for fun to see what people think, that is fine but after spending years trying to play like Andy on the guitar, and seeing Dominic play, there is no question who is the better of the two. Andy is by far one of the most difficult to copy and complex guitarists. He may not be as popular as Eric Clapton but I believe his guitar playing is up there at EC's level or even beyond.

Hey everyone. I'm not so sure if this has been discussed recently. So...I'll ask the question. Who do YOU think is a better guitarist? Andy Summers or Dominic Miller. You can answer any way you want and you can piss off anyone you like with your answer - fair enough ground rules?
