🎸 Best Richest Guitarists Of All Time | Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Brian May 

Amen, Malcolm Young THE BEST rhythm guitarist of ALL TIME....RIP Mal...we miss you...

He will never be beaten.Just fabulous.

Didn’t know he died. Rest in peace

Toute mon enfance est partie avec Malcom.

I was so upset! Gonna see them in July at Wembley, so this will be the greatest way to honour his memory!😢😊

Skip 10 secs every 3rd musician and you get it done in about a min or so

Yeeeeeaaa... I don't think this correct

I didn’t see John Lennon?

@@thrashmetal00I did the same thing. Haha

Total horseshit! Where's Lennon and McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Little Steven, Nil Lofgren, The Edge, Mike Campbell, K.K.Downing, Janick Gers, Rory Gallagher....there are literally hundreds of people who've strummed a guitar on a record (if you're gonna include Johnny Cash - fantastic Artist, but not exactly feted as a 'guitar hero' - then you've got to include even the likes of Bono, or Bruce Dickinson (he briefly plays guitar in Live After Death). And don't get me started on the supposed amounts mentioned. Arbitrary at best.

Paul has 1.5 billion dollars, too, lol 😆

@@azzajames7661 exactly... 🤣

Accuracy means nothing. The owner of the channel is just out to make money $💲$ So more comments please 🙏

this list is bullshit

Yeah, Johnny Cash is a guitarist apparently, but neither McCartney or Lennon are??? What about Angus magically having $50 million - 50% - more than Malcolm? How did that happen? Malcolm has song writing credits on every song and was the driving force in the band...

It’s probably hard to put together though. In the meantime, just use other sources.

Paul Mac Cartney is a bass player

​@AndyRoma68 there are other bassists are on the list.

​@@AndyRoma68As well as a guitarist.

@@AndyRoma68and a guitarist

Regardless, John Lennon was a guitarist just as good as Keith Richards for eg who wasn’t listed either.

Lynyrd skynyrd forever

Or George Harrison?

Harrison's there. ​@@studleyjb3172

@@studleyjb3172 George Harrison is number 2.

Paul Mccartney play on bass guitar,not on guitar.

was j buffett known as a guitar player? or an entertainer? Campbell was both.

@Lazarett • And Jimi Hendrix couldn't even read music or play a guitar That's Funny !

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

mid

It’s how much money they made. He didn’t make nearly as much money as others did. The numbers shown in this video are ridiculously wrong anyway.

I don’t believe he have that much money lie lie lie

No he didn’t

Most money is made touring. Hendrix net worth today is not like the people alive today who have been touring.

This is lie. For exemplo George benzinho 5M.. no exist

Lie lie lie lie they make way more money

Gene's net is not printable nor the black book of .....well you know.

As of 2023, Gene Simmons has a net worth of $500 million. Ace Frehley's Net Worth: As of 2023, estimated net worth is a staggering $35 million. Paul Stanley is an American rock musician who has a net worth of $200 million. Facts from Google

John Lennon

And John Paul Jones is the greatest!

Some may question whether he should be called a guitarist.

Right? This guy put out a previous video on the richest bass players and Adam Clayton, the bassist in U2, was in the top 5 richest bass players. Logic stands to reason that U2's guitarist would be near the top of the richest guitar players list as well. Don't don't why he was excluded.

How about John Mayer

Absurdo, The Edge com 22 grammys e não está na lista rsrsrs

The edge...really? two string wonder? U2 has money because of facebook investments.

Actually about 10 million...

That's what I thought

Roy Clark and others were not big money makers in the 60's and 70's. Yes he made great money back then but not like entertainers today.

Yea , a couple misses.

And Rick Neilson

here,here!!

and richie Kotzen

Who?

At least he was a real out and out guitarist. The most overlooked guitarist in the business. In a video before this Hendrix's greatest guitar lisk Rory is in number two place.

He was rich because he invented the "All you can eat" buffetts namend after him.

@@ChrisTian-rm7zmhahahaha magaritaville

And where's Hank Marvin of the Shadows

I saw the list of wealthiest bass players and Paul was about 1 billion.

@@memyself4ever1 Yes, that's true, and John Lennon's estate is worth 700 mil.

yes he was. member of the Wrecking Crew. incredible flat picker

He's #40 on the list

And he is Mexican not from the U.S.

​@@Bote8428???

The actual numbers are pure guess work and mostly bollocks. But the principle is very simple: the guitar players who make the most money are the ones that write the most popular songs. The way music money works, the record companies take 50% for "material rights". The other 50% goes to "publishing rights" which is were the actual musicians get their money from (aside from gig fees and session work which are one-off payments). The publishing rights to a song are divided in all sorts of ways by agreement but typically they go about 50% to whoever wrote the lyrics and 50% to whoever wrote the melody and the chords. Sometimes people are given a share if they contribute a particular riff or solo, if they are famous/exceptional. So Kieth Richards is rich because he has written dozens of kick arse songs that have sold in massive numbers over 50 years. It is much, much more difficult to write a kick arse song than it is to play a fancy guitar solo.

To prawda,no i Angus Young jest miernym gitarzystą!

@@Gregorovitch144 So writing lyrics is by far the easiest and fastest way to make big money? You don't even have to sing yourself, but you have to be able to sell the lyrics to the right person?!😉

@@carstenmanz302 You think writing lyrics is easy? There are a million guitar players, not so many lyricists. Lyricists are gold dust. But yeah, Bernie Taupin wrote all Elton John's lyrics, for example, and he probably gets an equal 50% of the songwriting royalties for all Elton John albums. Taupin is said to be worth $200m.

18 seconds in he's there.

Top 1

It’s true, just ask him 😂

Everyone else went for pizza...

Totally agree Gene Simmons worth 500 million

A bass player is a guitarist don't you think ​@@san4o21

We are talking of net worth, assets less liabilities, when they are alive.

cant buy me love, and cant take it with you!

Lennon, McCartney, Roger Waters, and the Margarita guy, The Edge,

jimmy page?wrong¡he got really good money after he started led zeppelin. before he was just a session player and sometimes producer.that made him pay the sessions for the first zeppelin album,but he wasn't rich in the early 60's

@@carlosalbertogomez1391 Page was not even rich in the mid 60's. Wasn't until the late late 60's where the dough started rolling in for Page. Sixty's entertainers never made the kind of money of today. Lennon Mccartney were millionaires in 1964, and they were the exception. Jagger Richards by mid 60's great money, and certainly by late 60's big money for The Stones. By late late 60's and early 70's big money for The Who and Zep.

I agree

I was about to comment this.

yeah but ppl are still buying that instructional, and he's not around to blow the cash, she's probably ok now.

Live was too short..... 😞

Thats a joke just listen to the songs that StevieRayVaughn and Jimi both played SRV is worlds better on strings, it's not even close.

He didn’t have no money

He must ask Keith Richards for some lessons LOL

Pero no ha sido del mercado anglosajón que es donde está la riqueza

tu mismo lo has dicho.... teatros.

I don’t believe it either

Closer to 300 Million - This list is for entertainment and no one knows exactly how rich these musicians are - at least they got paid well

Dickhead. It's what they are worth now not what they were worth in whatever era though were in. Having said that, a woeful list, inaccurate, full of errors and also has bass players (and I know a bass guitar is a guitar but.....)

Jack white

me too. been a moody since 1970. saw them 4 times and Justin solo once.

I wondered about that but it seems from what I've been able to find, it could be true. Or not. Most sites list him at the $300k mark but networthpost has him at $70 million.
