Are you quite sure about that? Hmmmmm... they must be pretty damn good ~
-
Wes acting like an old sage in this thread.

And you have never said anything derogatory to Goodrum?
I would call Goodrum those names to his face. I have never defamed him but he has slandered me and made up lies about me. Another despicable individual.
-
Are you quite sure about that?
All I have seen you got anymore dyslexic? oh hell we could be working a best guitarist on GB list if you do.

Type in "Tommy Sargeant" on Youtube. Go to the video links. Take your pick. Hundreds of vids to choose from. Don't have to prove it's me cuz' most here have seen my tats... and you can tell....that I might workout just a little~
I copy everyone... A - Z. You name it, I play it.
I'm not really an "original" guitarist b/c I play in a cover band. No money for me in originality.

Do you want to take the bet it or not? It's past April 5th Do you have your p35 listing submitted yet? £5000 for the Heroes.
You can make me look like a complete tosser AND help the Heroes. ???
Unless of course you were talking a lot of porkie pies. :-X
If not then don't even bother replying to me. I don't enjoy mocking the afflicted and I'd rather you have a nice day with your family than spend your time going through old posts to try to wriggle out of your exposure.
are you saying you will only donate the money if an anonymous person on the internet proves he has employess that already makes you a tosser
what have you ever proven?
have you posted a pic - no
have you provided any supporting evidence of your 6 million a year business and your 300k dividends - no
have you proved you have ever been in a gym - no
the 5k is your way of avoiding proving anything
you are just another anonymous loud mouth
all that has been exposed here is that your are full of shit
over to you make me look a tosser by proving any of the above :-*
we both know you are a car mechanic
nothing wrong with that

you are way better than me bro props

Thank you brother.
I doubt that I'm "better" ~ probably just "different" ~ I treat my guitars like toys. ;D

I remember that. and when he got called out on it his story made no sense and was so full of holes it was insulting to even think he'd try to pass it off on us.
I think people think that we are as stupid as they are.

It does suck. I love electronic music, but every other genre has taken the piss.
Today's rap blows. Pop music blows. Does rock even exist anymore?
Give me todays electro music, and 80's classics (hair metal, love songs, and soft rock)
The best has already been done.

he's no beauty but he looks pretty big in that vid.

I feel a bit sorry for the lad. More so now I've seen his pics and video.
As my granny used to say, some people are more to be pitied than scolded.
Last year he claimed to be a big businessman with 60 guys working on his payroll. Had to be a multi million pound business to sustain that level of overhead.
I offered to pay £5000 to help for heroes charity if he could prove it. Suddenly he realised he had been horribly exposed and backed off from mixing it with me further.
Well Bigmac, last week was fiscal year end so you should have your employees annual return (p35 listing) available now.
Post up a pic showing 60 employees on the list (you can blank out any private info) and the Heroes get £5000.
here was the bet big anal macshitty proving he is another lying little twink ;D
you service vans for a living
if you are in the industry you claim do you know doug
whats is your company called?
you are the one making a fool of yourself
i will extend the same offer of a bet to you
we both prove our ids
we both prove we own a company
5k to be held by ron
you claim to earn 300k a year so it should be pennies to you :-*
if we are both telling the truth we get our money back if one of us is lying the other one gets the money

Playing requests, check you out! Well done, sir.

what you got?
Well, if I listed what I have... it would take forever. The white one is a custom made Ibanez Jem 7MV with the Fernandes Sustainer. It's an exact replica of Steve Vai's "Flo" guitar that he does "Whispering a Prayer" with and the end of "FTLG" ~ I did a screen-shot here so you can see how rare the Fernandes is. It's just me and him if you Google it. The Sustainer is much like an Ebow. It is an instrument within itself. In other words, you have to learn to play it, and then learn how to combine it with your guitar playing. I had to find a Certified Luthier to install it. One who could install all the electronic devices without removing to much wood. The wood of the guitar is a rare brand of wood found in some deep forest in Japan or something.
Personally, give me six string (or however many) and pull them tight over a piece of wood. Makes no difference to me if I'm playing a $3000 guitar or a $100 guitar. Nobody is gonna be able to tell the difference if all they are doing is listening.
The vid I did here of the GNR "November Rain" was done on a $80 knockoff Strat. The Ibanez after installation is easily a 4K guitar. I actually like my cheap Strats better...

What a mentally challenged fool you are. There is nothing amusing about Goodrum's sexuality. He openly describes himself as the wife in his relationship. I don't post in his threads. There is no stalking.
Arthur Jones was not a friend. I never offered to procure 14 year old girls for him or anyone else. Bloody hell, complete fuckwits like Bigmc can defame me because he has no idea what a pedophile is! What a nincompoop. What a fool. In my eyes this Bigmc is a simpleton. He can't apologize for his lack of intelligence or education. In court he can claim he didn't comprehend what he wrote. He is still despicable but more stupid than anything else.
-
Great thread, but November Rain is in the same category as Don McLean's 'The Day the Music Died.' Farking overblown, pretentious, self-indulgent horribleness.

I agree with you on "Rain," easily my least favorite GnR tune. Kinda like the other one, though.
Still, the man played it perfectly.

What you Vince?
Whenver you ready we can make time to debate Pragmatism and especially William James' or even Peirce's take on self-regulation. It is highly applicable here.
Until then, please conduct yourself more intelligently.

He named it after a Van Gogh painting. Trying to be deep.

A little too slow/girly for me. I believe someone here said "tried to be deep". I've only heard it on the radio a few times. Not terrible, but not a good follow up to his one hit.

Slash is overrated. Mark Knopfler is my favourite guitarist/musician. He can play fast but always in a beautiful way. He is also very creative.

Well done sir, Bravo!
Chimps, lighten up a bit, I was always more of a Springsteen, Hall & Oates, U2 and Queen fan, but GnR was pretty good MAINLY due to Slash.
In my opinion, Slash was probably one of the top 5 guitar players (Rock) of all time. In the world of Rock n Roll, I'd probably only put Eddie Van Halen, Hendrix, Brian May and Jimmy Page ahead of him. You disagree?

I don't know if I'd put Slash up their... I generally put him tier 2, with the likes of Zakk Wylde, Dimebag Darrell... etc.
Van Halen, Clapton, Hendrix, SRV... tier one guys.
Slash just played blues scales REALLY fast and well, but he didn't really innovate.
Page I guess I could consider tier 1... Brian May I probably wouldn't put up there....

I cant knock those names.^
But I think the current progressive guitarists are the best ever.
Guthrie Govan
Tosin Abasi
Paul Waggoner (between the buried and me)
People are quick to call my generation "nothingness" and include the music, by in large this could be considered accurate, but there are some very talented musicians today as well.

There was no innovation on Slash's part. Innovation, in the way only Hendrix, Keith Richards or Clapton could bring, won't be seen anytime soon. At least, I don't think so.

Theres a helluva lot of talented guitar players playing hardcore metal, prog rock, and jazz... but when talking about the "greats", I try to put them into the tier system... and you generally have to limit it to the guys that really changed things and influenced the masses in a way that shifted music around or took playing to a new level.
The thing now is that it's pretty much all been done.. guitar playing now is more about honing skills that already exist and taking techniques to the next level... all the great innovation has kind of already been done.

Hendrix could play guitar with his teeth and still make a decent sound.

Ha, I was typing the post below yours to no one in particular, as you were posting what you posted.
-

Hendrix bothers me.. he innovated, and he's beloved... but the fact that he was constantly out of tune pisses me the fuck off. His rendition of the star spangled banner makes me SOOO mad because he's always out of fucking tune. It pisses me off to no end. And a lot of his stuff really bores me... but certain tunes are just awesome, and he changed the way that people played. Clapton did as well, but Clapton could tune his fucking guitar. And he discovered the modern day overdrive/distorted sound that we've grown to love.

I think that there just isnt a place in modern music for virtuoso guitarists. Its worth wondering if some of the modern greats would of excelled in generations past, but thats the equivalent of arguing a Mike Tyson Vs Ali in their primes (tyson would murder ali btw)
I think both Slash and EVH were overrated.
Honorable Steve Vai mention needed.

I agree. Technically maybe not the greatest but as a whole package - a showman, king of cool, performance as art, he is unparalleled.

Honorable Steve Vai mention needed.
EVH and Rhodes both innovated and created the modern lead guitar sound... so he has to be in there. He also really brought the multi-hand fretting (tapping) sound into the mainstream.
A lot of the current metal guitarists are simply amazing,... but as you said, they actually complement the music rather than BEING the music ala virtuoso. As such they aren't really noticed.

Not a guitarist, so forgive my ignorance, but why is Zakk tier 2? Aside from the pinch harmonics, the guy seems f'n incredible to me. Also, where do you put Rhoads?
-
I find EVH incredibly self indulgent and rather overrated. Yes, I am aware that hardcore guitar fans love him but I find his overly long solos mind numbingly boring.
-

Rhoades, tier one due to innovation/changing the game with EVH slightly in front, simply due to the fact that he was more mainstream and influenced more people.
Wylde is tier 2 because, while flat out amazing, he didn't really change the game. Although I love his southern rock/metal fusion style and he's one of my biggest influenced as a player, but I don't think he has the broad influence to be considered tier 1. As a player, hes among the best.

I thought it might have to do with innovation, but wasn't sure. You should post a video playing some BLS, just block out your face and whatnot.

Great thread, but November Rain is in the same category as Don McLean's 'The Day the Music Died.' Farking overblown, pretentious, self-indulgent horribleness.
Well, I don't know if I would put it that way. From a guitarist's point of view it's more "melodic" and reminiscent of David Gilmour with Pink Floyd.
You really can't compare too many of the top guitarist b/c each of them has their own unique style regardless of their influences.
I would never say Eddie Van Halen is better than Jimi Hendrix or vice versa. Each of them is great at what they do and they were in the right place at the right time for what they were doing with their music.
Music and the love thereof is entirely subjective. If it were not, we wouldn't have rap, rock, blues, country, jazz, folk, classical, etc.
Everyone would just play the same thing and everyone would just like the same thing. It couldn't work. Creativity would have taken a shit long before that could happen.
How you would read such specific personality/character traits and somehow transpose that into musical tones is a bit mystical. I don't know how you would do it, but I do know that some will go as far as to call certain grouped notes some pretty intense names.
For example: The intro to Jimi Hendrix' "Purple Haze" which involves three specific tones played simultaneously has been deemed "the Devil's Triad"
Pretty crazy stuff. I don't look at music that way.
Here is some history for the musicians (or not) who dig education.
Comment: "I've been teaching some basic piano to my girlfriend this evening, and
while looking for references I've noticed that the Intertubes abound with
a persistent rumor: that the tritone, aka the Devil's Interval (C-F# for
example, or the first two chords in Jimi Hendrix' "Purple Haze") has been
banned by the Catholic Church, from the Middle Ages onward. For what it's
worth, Wikipedia pooh-poohs the story, but there are a zillion people who
perpetuate it without question. At the very least I would love to find out
whence came this urban legend (if it is indeed an urban legend)."
Banned by the Catholic Church? These notes are speaking messages?

Good post. As I said I try to avoid the "whos best" arguments and stick to arranging them into tiers based on influence and innovation.. they're all great players in their own rights... they're not "better", they're just "different".

Hendrix for guitarist is truly known for his creativity. He was NOT technical, and yes, his guitar was out of tune a lot. But you have to realize, had there not been the development of the Kramer locking tailpiece, Eddie Van Halen would be known for the VERY SAME THING!
Hendrix was innovative. A lot of guitarist followed his "lead" ~ he wasn't "technical" like Marty Freidman from Megadeth might be or as speedy and precise as Yngwie Malmsteen, BUT he knew the hardcore original blues inside and out.
A lot of today's guitarist's could be so much "better" if they understood the blues the same way that Jimi did.
It's like an MMA fighter not knowing how to fight on the ground. Today most great guitarists are very-well rounded. Much more than most people realize. There are studio guitarists out there that you will never see, but they put all the great "performers" to shame. Why? They read music, they compose, they record, they teach and they master their craft under very close scrutiny.
Can't jam on a guitarist who has made it to the big time. People like to do that with Mick Mars, but nobody would have fit Motley Crue any other way.
They used to call Jimmy Page "sloppy" yet nobody could duplicate his shit....
Ramblin' on.
The info is there, you just gotta keep an open mind. All music has something in common. Hope I don't have to point it out ~

Well, I don't know if I would put it that way. From a guitarist's point of view it's more "melodic" and reminiscent of David Gilmour with Pink Floyd.
You really can't compare too many of the top guitarist b/c each of them has their own unique style regardless of their influences.
I would never say Eddie Van Halen is better than Jimi Hendrix or vice versa. Each of them is great at what they do and they were in the right place at the right time for what they were doing with their music.
Music and the love thereof is entirely subjective. If it were not, we wouldn't have rap, rock, blues, country, jazz, folk, classical, etc.
Everyone would just play the same thing and everyone would just like the same thing. It couldn't work. Creativity would have taken a shit long before that could happen.
How you would read such specific personality/character traits and somehow transpose that into musical tones is a bit mystical. I don't know how you would do it, but I do know that some will go as far as to call certain grouped notes some pretty intense names.
For example: The intro to Jimi Hendrix' "Purple Haze" which involves three specific tones played simultaneously has been deemed "the Devil's Triad"
Pretty crazy stuff. I don't look at music that way.
Here is some history for the musicians (or not) who dig education.
Comment: "I've been teaching some basic piano to my girlfriend this evening, and
while looking for references I've noticed that the Intertubes abound with
a persistent rumor: that the tritone, aka the Devil's Interval (C-F# for
example, or the first two chords in Jimi Hendrix' "Purple Haze") has been
banned by the Catholic Church, from the Middle Ages onward. For what it's
worth, Wikipedia pooh-poohs the story, but there are a zillion people who
perpetuate it without question. At the very least I would love to find out
whence came this urban legend (if it is indeed an urban legend)."
Banned by the Catholic Church? These notes are speaking messages?
Oh well. Ramblin' on ~
Thoughtful post. Nice. :)

Slash is overrated. Mark Knopfler is my favourite guitarist/musician. He can play fast but always in a beautiful way. He is also very creative.
Oh boy.
Comparing two completely different guitarist. Who made the most money? Who is the most recognizeable? Who still packs out stadiums?
Mark Knopfler will always be known for his finger-picking trills in the solo to "Sultans of Swing" other than that... not so much. Yes, he is great. Yes he is creative.
Do you know how many songs Slash has written that have instantly gone platinum or better?
Trust me when I tell you, there is no comparison.

Second trombone in HS. Otherwise, just a lover of music, and a student/critic. Totally convinced that the years '65-'75, rock-music-wise, are Biblical.

Oh I agree, I wasn't detracting from him is accomplishments at all... just that he's a paradox for me. I really appreciate what he did and what he's added to the instrument.... but that his tuning issues frustrate me so greatly when I listen to his stuff
Also agree on studio.musicians.

At the end of the day the most important thing is the size of your arms while playing the guitar.

Great thread, but November Rain is in the same category as Don McLean's 'The Day the Music Died.' Farking overblown, pretentious, self-indulgent horribleness.
Somebody had to say it. ;)

Now we have an awesome guitar thread!!!!!

Page sucked compared to Hendrix,SRV, Clapton,Carlos Santana,Eddie VanHalen,or even a guy like Joe Perry or Gary Moore even .
Zeppelin great overall band,Page,second tier guitarist who gets way too much credit.

Listen to his early stuff when he was with Cream or some of his Blues stuff to be enlightened if you can tear yourself free from electric synthesizer/drum machine shit.

Keith Richards did not play like a virtuoso. He is not a "lead guitarist" but he can easily play "lead" if he wants to.
Keith's skills are not so "Ovious" as would be Eddie Van Halen's. Eddie and many others are what are called "flashy" ~ this term really would not apply to Keith... BUT!!!
Keith is an EXCELLENT song writer and has written literally hundreds at the drop of a hat.
Keith also has a very peculiar way of tuning his guitars. He has so many "Keith" tunings, it's hard to keep up. The songs sound simple, but they truly aren't. Not if you want to sound EXACTLY like him.
Keith would definitely be one the most under-rated guitarists of all time, but if you take a closer look, he is actually iconic and has stood the test of time and lived through nearly everything that would have killed a man half his age.
I guess I just look at him differently. I try to find good in all musicians that have crossed the 'intermediate' stage.
-
for me a true great revolutionises the music. takes it to audiences it has never been to before. marley with reggae, Cash with country, chuck D with hippity hoppity . so for me there is one who nobody has mentioned who revolutionised guitar. marty mcfly- he was playing rock and roll guitar years before little richard. and doing so all while under the threat of a smack from biff and the danger of banging his own mother.

the introduction to honky tonk women

also no one has mentioned the late garry moore
he was phenomenal both technically and had great feel as a blues player
late in his career

Cmon!! no one remember Ronnie Montrose? That guy kicked ass! Great player ??? ???

Django Reinhard was a hero of mine, as was Chet Atkins. Knopfler, Emmanual, and Ledward Kaapana are gifted musicians.

I will when I receive reasonable evidence from Wolfox. We're in the process of working it out. I understand his apprehension in some areas, but it's clear he doesn't trust me. Not that I care, why should he? Anyway, do I think Wolfox is Shizzzo? No. BUT, TBH I haven't received sufficient evidence proving it. :-\ Sorry :-\
has this been sorted
he pmd me the same shit when he wanted to post on the y
then chickened out

Tearing up the Gee-tar. I may have to pack away my guitars in shame after watching bigmc shread.

There are a lot of guitarists out there who will always be a cut above the rest... ones that never really make it to the "big time" ~ studio musicians are insanely great players also, who never really hit the Limelight. Often times they play the guitar parts that sell the songs of the big bands. They are the guys behind the scenes, the teachers, the true virtuosos.
Now, if I had to name-drop some of my all-time favorites that you really don't hear much about today, the list would go like this:
Frank Gambale ~ the most fluid guitarist I have ever heard in my life. Insanely good, technical and knowledgeable.
Marty Friedman ~ Rust in Peace say's it all
Chris Poland ~ check him out TODAY on Youtube
Steve Lukather ~ think: "Outro" to "Rosanna"
Ronnie Montrose
Jack Zucker ~ jazz virtuoso
Allan Holdsworth ~ highly innovative and technical, plays "outside" very well
Steve Fishell (pedal steel is sick)
Stevie Ray Vaughan ~ highly underrated as far as technical skills go. He was awesome in every way.
The list goes on, but these guys are the first to come to mind ~
Also, the guitarist from "Ten Years After" ~ he was way ahead of his time. Can't remember his name, but he was lightning fast and spot on ~
-
I did bro.
gary moore and phil lynnot was a great combo
-
Nugent`s great,but I only liked a bit of his stuff........not a big fan of most of his stuff. :-\
^^^^ Very early Nugent with the Amboy Dukes. ^^^^[

I saw a good interview with garry moore discussing alan holdsworth
alan had told him he hated when people imitated his style
garrys reply was no one can play like you
the ultimate comment imo
just like yngwie
a thousand imitators but no one
plays at that speed with the feel he does
not even close
even joe satriani says there is only one malmsteem

if he could fuck himself he would
its a shame he could have been a super star
if he didn't insist on 40 min guitar solos in every song

This is true.
I watched Yngwie get slammed right in the face by the bass player from Alcatrazz years ago at a NAMM show in Anaheim.
At that time Yngwie was still highly unknown. He had made an album with a band called "Steeler" and showed some of his skills.
He can't get along with anyone. Makes it kind of difficult to keep a good touring band going.

Well, he believes he's a performer cut from the cloth of the great maestro's from classical music history... thats why he wears his goofy ass clothes, they're a throwback to the impressarios of the past. He believes hes on the same level as Bach and Beethoven, and the great composers of that era.
He literally was a kid that never left his basement and only played guitar... which shows through because as Dyslexic said, everyone he meets hates his guts. Hes a true socially inept narcissist whos character flaws propelled him into semi-stardom.

i can play some of his licks
but never been able to put a full solo together
the way he runs scales
i cant get my fingers to follow that style :'(

Hes one of a kind. He also plays that crazy scalloped fretted Strat.
Sweep Arpegios were something I struggled with for a long time... It was hard for me to get used to keeping my pick hand sweeping at an even pace as I picked the string and moved on... I worked for a long time on sweeping one direction, then the other... and then I started working on the turnaround, sweeping across the top 3 or 4 strings and turning around and coming back the other way. Took a LONG time to get, and I still haven't mastered it. The way he does it is mind boggling IMHO.
Its a helluva lot easier for me to pick laterally at high speed than it was to pick across strings. Just my technique, I guess. I had a lot of bad habits I had to break in order to get it right as well. Nothing sounds as cool as a 6 string sweep plus adding the right hand to tap at the high end of the arpeggio.

yeah
i can blur my fingers picking like that
good for fast metal style
but i cant get that classical vibe
i can do it from high to low like a reverse sweep
but not up and down
i think its a case of discipline and endlessly repeating it
-

It is. It helps to break it up into chunks where you're having trouble and then putting them together when you get the movement down. As I increased speed I found I was missing the frets slightly when moving from string to string... so it became literally sitting there and doing the same thing over and over for an hour, taking breaks here and there to jam out a little to keep from burning out. It was tough.
-
have you heard him playing the blues
Oh hell yeah!
I've sat and jammed with him and many others like Jake E Lee, Warren Dimartini and Robin (when he was still kickin') George Lynch, Vinnie Vincent.
A lot of people don't realize that most of these guitarists are VERY WELL ROUNDED when it comes to different styles of music. Most people figure if you shred, that's all you can do.
Yngwie has a very solid understanding of music theory, any musician who knows their musical theory will be able to play anything, it just might not be what you want to hear.
Steve Stevens (formerly with Billy Idol) is a very well-versed guitarist. He did a solo project with Vince Neil from the Crue and he shredded and ripped with insane precision in every song. Even wrote a few hits on the album. Now he is playing some esoteric/enigmatic neo-classical-flamenco-rock shit. It's not bad, it just ain't my cup of tea.
A lot of people get real surprised when they hear you play another style of music. They don't realize that really.. it's all the same. You have certain notes to choose from. The question is: Which intervals do you prefer?
Yngwie is so distinctive because he will overlay the fifth mode of the Harmonic minor scale right over the top of the diminished scale. Once you hear either scale, you will never forget it.
Jimmy page played a whole-tone scale in a very, very popular Zep song years ago. It was called "Over the hills and far away" ~ he also played the harmonic minor scale blatantly in the live version of the Immigrant song.
These aren't scales that you just "happen" upon. They are taught... and understood.
Myself? I am a huge blues fan. When you mix blues licks and rock licks (Pentatonic and Diatonic Scales) together, you get a much more solid and fulfilling sound than just one-liners with the pedal to the metal.
Eddie Van halen shreds to all hell, right? Well, you know what makes him sound so good? Not his speed, not his precision, not his creativity, not his amps... it's the blues. Ed has a very, very solid blues base. Flatted fifths pretty much define him. He uses the blues to add some swing and taste to his insanity. Surely that is why he admires Clapton so much.

I've always struggled to fit the harmonic minor in a lot of places... unless I wrote the song around that sound.
The ear some of those guys have developed is insane... I kind of stopped learning actual theory after I quit playing Jazz trumpet in high school. I kick myself every day because of it, especially when I jam with guys who really went to the woodshed on it.

Thanks man!

I`m a huge blues fans......got so many Blues CD`s it`s almost insane.
Badass tunes right here by three legends.
RIP
Albert King inspired tons of legendary guitarists,including SRV,Randy Rhodes, and Hendrix to name just three.

One of the guys I grew up listening to.
Finally got to see him at The Iron Horse in Northamton Mass. in the 90`s...being an albino he was led to the stage and played teribly.
He was frail and sickly looking.......one of his roadies told me that all he did all day at that time was sit in his trailer drinking Jack daniels and listening to Muddy Waters records. :(
Still was a treat to see him though.
Saw Rick Derringer too..............autogra phed some Edgar Winters And White Trash albums he was on for me.......dude could jam,nice guy too.
I`ve seen tons of Blues legends and I`m happy I did,`cause I really have paid some dues. ;)

Quick lesson if any of you bodybuilding guitarists want to learn some of the tricks that make Ed and Yngwie sound the way they do ~
I didn't feel like using a scanner or my Stylus, so I just MW'd it and screenshot it, but you should get the gist of it. Won't make you an expert but you will be playing the EXACT same notes they play ALL THE TIME! Yeah? Coo ~

Lol ~ there are so many guys out there that do that whole electronic-metronome thing these days. It's really not that difficult. If you look at the "Fastest guitarists on Youtube" vids, you will see these guys... and it's tasteless. Just speed. I'm truly not bragging when I say that I can keep up with them. All it is..is fast RH picking. Your left hand is basically working in memory mode, nothing special.
I would much rather hear a solo that has some feeling to it. Something that moves you emotionally. Shredding... does none of that. I need a solo that has been structured over specific chord progressions... something that makes me have to THINK and be creative.
Now, I do have plenty of vids of me "shredding" just for the sake of playing fast, but that's all they are.
The backing track on this one is so disgusting it makes me cringe. It was just a cheap-ass sampler. Nothing like what I use today.
The scales are simple: E minor, B altered Dominant mode of the Harmonic minor, and E pentatonic. All the rest is just show as in "effects" and such. Flicking the tip of the vibrato bar to make the floating springs vibrate... octave splitting.. RH tapping on the same fret that is being hammered-on by the Left hand... just for show. I actually really hate this vid, but here goes! >:(
BTW, anyone notice where my pick comes from between tapping? And how it comes back so quickly? That too is kind of a cool little trick. Very helpful. Keeps you fluid, otherwise you would have to stop for a moment, or delay something somehow ~

You got any performance videos with your band?

get prince rocking
the telecaster
Story goes all the other performers were like "Prince ???" why is that dude playing with us" and the solo was a big FUCK YOU from Prince to them.

Prince kicks ass on guitar.
He jammed his ass off and freaked those guys out. :D

The year Black Sabbath and Skynyrd were inducted my brother was in the "Green" room with them before they were introduced...they showed that solo on the tv in the room and all those guys were like "Holy shit,he can really play"
....lol if I wasn't so lazy I'd download some of my brothers stuff from him playing on stage....not sitting in his living room like most here :o ;D
just kidding guys :D

UGH! Yes ~
I'd rather post up studio tracks than have you look at our sorry asses.
I play in multiple "cover" bands... and do my best to keep my mouth shut. As most of you who know anything about me... this is a difficult task.

Fucking intro to "Raspberry Beret" ~ I was like WTF??? the first time I heard it. Guy can play.
I wonder why YT has blocked the vid in our country? Even the other vids have the soundtracks replaced. Geez!
His record company must be WB ~ ::)
O.K. so now I'm told it's the intro to "When Doves Fly" ~ fuck I don't know. YT won't play shit. Not even a tutorial. Someone else try??
It's a cool little guitar solo intro ~ and I think I liked Sheena Easton a little too much...

Cool............I remember years ago watching some video on MTV or VH1 back when Prince was at the height of his popularity and he cranked on guitar at one spot in the video.
I was impressed to say the least,but in the vid above,he gets busy.
If I remember correctly which is doubtful,I think he plays drums too and the Hammond B3 organ.

Prince plays everything. I don't know about these days, but back when I was into prince ( Dirty mind, 1999) he wrote, performed and produced every note on his records. The Revolution was basically his touring band.
Prince is no joke

yeah I was being sarcastic about the 100 mph hour thing
people definitely sacrifice feel for speed
I picked up some nice gothic style phrasing learning randy Rhodes solos
gives it that dark almost operatic vibe
ive got a line 6 at home which I can put backing on to practice

By the way, why not play it three notes per string. 8-9-11 on the g string, 8-10-12 on the b string and 8-11-12 on the e string? :)

Leo Kottke is amazing on the 12 string guitar.

Randy was another guy who was into minor scales, diminished scales and some very off-the-wall dissonance. Think "Diary of a Madman" where he purposely ends the guitar solo 1/2 step below/off the key of the resolved note, not to mention the very ominous chord structures. I can't think of anything of his that ever involved the Harmonic Minor scale. I think he basically stuck to the Pentatonic, minor Diatonic and Diminished scales. He also tapped with the right hand.. we all stole that from the master. Randy liked to use his pick to tap instead of his finger often times. He also had some very original ideas for changing the pitch of a string, like fretting the note and then reaching in front of the fretted finger and literally pulling the string inches away from the neck. I think he came up with this stuff b/c he wasn't so quick to jump on the Floyd Rose locking tremelo, and it hadn't yet been made for his favorite guitars: The Flying V and the Les Paul.
I have a Spider Line 6 also. Fun to make your own recordings that's for sure. I use my own rack-mount effects and I pull the guitar solos out of the original tracks for my Youtube stuff. Sometimes WMG has a little shit-fit but they've been pretty lenient with me for the most part.

You must be mis-reading bro. It IS 3 notes per string... and I would suggest sticking with that and finding EACH AND EVERY note in that scale on EACH AND EVERY string on your guitar if you would like to get fluent at the altered Dominant mode. The only thing that should be "off" with that tab is what I stated earlier. I could have written it out instead of typing it and put the fretted notes right ON the lines instead of between them. Regardless, 7 (B) 8 (C) and 11 (E flat or D sharp #) however you want to look at that dependent on the overall key... is still... THREE NOTES PER STRING ~ yeah buddy.

John Williams is brilliant. Classical guitar with superb presence and technique.

-
Nice Dyslexic, so many people can shred, But tone and feeling that's what I love.
-
i think of the countless hours I spent learning vinnie moore solos note for note.
good stuff, but in 'real life' gigging, it's about learning songs pretty much like the record, being able to sing lead and good harmonies on the fly, and looking as young as possible.
pulling out that shredder stuff from time to time is awesome... but shrill tone and 200 notes per second doesn't do much in real life $ working situations.
-
Best thread on the board by far........thanks dyslexic.
-
I'm all for Paul Gilbert (the early untochable shredder with Racer X and Mr. Big until Vibrato, didn't like it that much) and Shawn Lane (R.I.P.), string skipping, alternate picking, inhuman technique and speed with good songs it's my thing... Played guitar for a year or so, then left for drumming...

I've been getting a lot of PM's ~ seems there are many Eddie Van Halen fans here.
For those of you that would like to add to your Van Halen listening experience, get on Ebay, pick up this awesome book up for next to nuthin' and crank the toonage. Hell, have a little toke if your little heart desires.
I know this is (basically) a bodybuilding/fuck off board, but a lot of you guys are cool-ass motherfuckers. Meet you in person and we'd prolly be best friends.
Anyway, check this book out, soon to be a collectors issue. A lot of previously unpublished pic. No autobiography crap...at least not like those idiots that write one and leave out all teh good shit ~

Then simply paste it between the two [youtube] in Brackets. Voila, what you!

One of my guitar heroes is Ledward Kaapana from Hawaii. What a gifted musician. A master of the slack key guitar. What he does on the Uke is simply amazing.
Spanish Eyes Ledward Kaapana and Bob Brozman.
-
Ledward Kaapana is a special guy. He plays effortlessly and has fun doing it. Always beauty in his playing. Brilliant!
In 2011 Ledward was honored with a NEA National Heritage Award. One of Americas highest honors for a folk artist. The following is quoted from Led's bio page at The National Endowment For The Arts, http://www.nea.gov/honors/heritage/fe...
"Ledward "Led" Kaapana is a master of the two leading string instruments in Hawaii: the Hawaiian ukulele and ki ho'alu, the slack key guitar, a finger-style guitar art form that originated in Hawaii. This talent, combined with his vocal skills in the baritone and leo ki`eki`e (falsetto) range, have made him a legendary performer who has been entertaining audiences in Hawaii and abroad for more than 40 years."

Actually he's not far from the truth...my brother has been on stages with some big names and has recordings and is a never satisfied.....I know I've been there..I was backstage when he finished a big show and the other "Famous" guitar player was gushing over how well my brother played,,,,and my bro was like "I could have done this, this, and this better"
-
This guy nails down Steve Vai tone/style perfectly.
love that tone! Don't get that from a pedal, huh?
-
There are quite a few guys on YT that buy the exact same gear, rack-mount equipment, strings, etc., etc., as their favorite players. It's amazing the money they spend.
I like the idea that you can get a professional sound, but I don't like the idea that some of these guys are trying so hard to BE their "idol" ~ they could cut their hair the same way, dress the same way.... act like they are getting ready to do an autobiography on the guy. Hell, they could even start stalking the dude. Weirdness.
You gotta draw the line somewhere. Learn the chops and leave it at that. If you have a shit-load of money to throw around, spend it on studio time and make some original music.
Each to their own I suppose ~

I know this is sacrilege
but vai leaves me cold
ive always felt that if you put the perfect guitarist into a computer
vai is how the computer would sound
I appreciate technically he is phenomenal
but id listen to garry moore every day of the week over him

Even though I cover a lot of Vai pieces, it's not b/c I'm a huge fan.
He is a great visual performer.
FTLG was a finger marathon.
I don't particularly care for re-hashed EVH stuff, I mean, after all, that was his biggest gig after DLR split.
Steve is a very "visual" and technical guitarist, but I don't kick back and listen to him at home, or in my ride. He is empty and void of feeling IMHO.
Now, what you will find in my ride, you won't hear me listening to in the house. Pretty crazy I guess, unless you "get it"
I have a variety of music from the 70's 80's and 90's that I listen to when I drive. I can play it all, but I don't. And what I do play, I don't listen to in the car. I know I'm not making much sense, yet it is the TRUTH.
The only consistency you will find in my CD collection is Aerosmith. I have EVERY SINGLE CD of theirs. I love listening to them on the road. Same with Queensryche.
Don't play that stuff at home on the guitar. I can, but I don't.
What do you make of that?

If you like guitars you will enjoy this video. Very original video. Thomas Leeb plays Lowden guitars. He played the first Lowden F50 made and said it was the best guitar he ever played. I own that guitar.
I also own a Lowden Baritone guitar.

Man, I love their old stuff, when they were high. "Lightning Strikes" is the only thing I've liked since. One of America's best, for sure, but what happened? Horns and pop ballads and whatnot. Sorry, not trying to piss on your comment, bud. Just bummed.

Dude, music is entirely subjective, hence; SO MANY FUCKING GENRE's
No, you are not pissing on my comment.
Me? I love "Rocks" ~ I will scream every word to every lyric to every song on that album (while driving...lol)
"Seasons of Wither" from "Get your Wings" still sends chills down my spine. Can I expect that to happen to everyone? Hell no! Can I expect everyone to love Aerosmith? Hell no!
Do I like "Tears for Fears?"
Sometimes...
It's just music. It's in our souls. It's whatever moves you. Could care less what anyone else thinks if I decide to listen to "Can I get a Fuck You" by JayZ.

If you like guitars you will enjoy this video. Very original video. Thomas Leeb plays Lowden guitars. He played the first Lowden F50 made and said it was the best guitar he ever played. I own that guitar.
I also own a Lowden Baritone guitar.
Lowden Baritone guitar
Dazzo 100 soundboard transducer
Mimesis Kudos mag/mic pickup
Wyres Strings .017-.070

Very cool video editing. Creative.
Don't need the tab, but thanks.
BTW, in that vid, the sound was pre-recorded in a studio and then synced with the vid. Some cool shots from inside. Very creative.
Also, notice the strings flopping around? They were detuned to help with the "effect" ~ it's a great effect too.
Now, if you actually tried to play that guitar "as is' you would be highly disappointed.
Reminiscent of this...for some unusual reasons:
You want to sound like Andy McKee? Trust me, it's not in his technique.... it is in his TUNING! ;D

Awesome reply. "Last Child," "Mama Kin," "Kings and Queens," best shit ever.

what are you guys' opinions of baritone guitars? I've never played, but with my deep voice, it's intriguing.

Once you hear a good one you will want one. I played a nice Caldersmith baritone classical and after that I wanted one. More deep bass and still enough trebles to fingerpick, etc.
With steel string guitars the effect isn't so pronounced but you do get a nice growl from the bass which is very satisfying to listen to. My Lowden Baritone has a spruce top
and Walnut back and sides.

This Caldersmith kid sounds to be a bit young for you.

Here is Aussie Tommy Emmanuel performing. Technically, one of the best on the planet.

For the older guys here. Not everyone can make a guitar sound beautiful. Hank Snow did.

Tears for fears is some GOOD shit. "Mad world" "pale shelter" "change" "head over heels" "everybody wants...."
Those dudes were musicians.
Just listened to "wishing...if I had a photograph" and "space age love song" by flock.of seagulls. Get past the stupid hair and they are good tunes.
Love "get your wings" ...smith coming into their own.
Can I get a "fuck you".....nice. very few rap songs I like.

Same here. This is where I'm just old, bitter, and intolerant. Loved Rage, though, despite the hypocritical politics. They were sorta rappy.

Welcome home YR :) Would be much appreciated if you watched my latest vids, hence our previous guitar talks about progressing. (Basically I just want props for playing Jason Becker now ;D)
Did you get the Altitudes tab Bigmc? :)
I'll check out the vids when I get a chance. Yeah, I use Serrana as an arpeggio exercise.
Just got back from watching the original Sabbath, sans Bill Ward, play tonight. Great bloody show. I was very impressed. Especially since I saw Ozzy 2 years ago and he blew chunks.

I've posted lots of videos here over the years.
Here's an old vid and some of my demo tracks for my band to learn from, though I give them sheet music/tab as well. I write everything and play all the instruments.

Cool, man. Great stuff. Not to be a tool, but you're spelling his first name wrong, is that on purpose?

Yeah I did, because Yngwie is a great player but he is a tool.
