EVH isn't that great of a guitar player.

John Sykes and Gary Moore are far better, Adrian Vandenberg, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, John Petrucci, Andy Wood, Chris Broderick, Paul Gilbert... All these guys are miles ahead Eddie.

And I would vote Tornado Of Souls' solo to be very good. Marty Friedman did a fantastic job on that song.

i've heard them all, more to being a great guiitarist besides technique.

and PS before everyone figured out how to play like him, EVH was THE technique monster. just happened to be a great rock songwriter too. he changed the way rock sounds.

This, lots of others can shred but 15 secs in I'm bored...Ed would solo and leave you wanting more, plus the songs were great.

I agree.  I don't need the music to be uber complicated to enjoy it.  I can appreciate that others who are experts may have a deeper appreciation (for example, people love Tool for various reasons - I just like the songs...).

As for VH, my main problem is Roth's chatter and scream that they threw into everything.  Unchained is such a cool song, but the whole conversation thing in the middle is cringe worthy.

I'm not a guitar player. ( i stab at it occasionally), but in my opinion...I don't think any one of these guys is better "technically" than the other.  I laugh when people say X can't play as fast as Y.

i would think dudes at this level can play any piece of music ever written on a guitar, it's what they choose to play

If you haven't heard of him yet, I recommend that you take a listen to Michael Romeo, he plays in the band Symphony X.

His solo on this song from a band he collaborated with was great
The song itself is not that great, skip to 4:40 for the solo

You cant define "fast" on guitar because they're are different perceptions. yeah Ed is fast and so is Yngwie but damn listen to SRV play "Scuttle Buttin" and that is fast as fuck but just played a different style.



...I'm headed down to Nashville in a few to see my brother play a couple of shows and he plays all classic style guitars like Les Pauls, SG's, Strats, and Firebirds and he can play in his style as fast as anybody out there.

Not necessarily. Most rock guitarists get lost outside of rock music. They usually have trouble playing in odd time signatures and using scales outside of their comfort zone.


That said - a guitarist shouldnt really be measured on his ability but more on the music they create.

If you want to pick technically the best guitarists in the world you are looking at the likes of Guthrie Govan.

Wow! I have to agree with Groink 100%. Eddie did it all. He is by far the most innovative player,ever.
When EVH plays you know its him and his solo on Michale Jacksons "Beat it" is suposed to be the best solo of all times.
It took him 12 minutes to do it. 2 takes and it was done..

Even Ritchi Blackmore said EVH is the only player with style and talent. Ritchi never gives out complements.
EVH did change the sound of guitar playing and looked cool doing it. Just a great musician all around with a background of classical piano. (his dad was a pretty famous Studio Jazz player)

there are many great players out there but no one is the caliber of Eddie. Solo at 2:28



Title: Re: important question # 27
Post by: SaintAnger on February 03, 2015, 06:38:11 PM
EVH just isn't a fantastic guitarist.  He's a far superior song writer.  That is what made him the best.

FWIW, I love all of those guys mentioned, but prefer Guthrie.  Loads of talent, but with soul.  He's a musician first; shredder second.  There is a difference.

No clue who/which was the best, but always loved George Lynch's "Tooth and Nail" solo. Also, wasn't "Hot for Teacher" considered somewhat of a landmark as well, with the eight-finger dealio and whatnot?

No idea, really.

No pissing match at all - just talking  :)
Vai has a doctorate in music so no probably not.  I think if you put something complicated by Allan Holdworth in front of Vai or Satch (Two of my favourites) they would have a lot of trouble with it.
That said - a lot more people can sit and listen to Satch then Holdsworth (myself included)

Blackmore and Iommi were early pioneers and innovators of hard rock / metal guitar.

Iommi did great considering he's only got a couple of working fingers on his fretboard hand.
