Guitar thread - acoustic, rock, metal, bass

[funk51]

Thankyou all for such positives posts in this thread. I’m going to read and watch the videos posted over the weekend 😀

Funk51 I used a Marshall Tucker Band song in my last downhill MTB video I filmed with drones. After watching Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm i had to use it. Such a brilliant clean sound on guitar.

   

   was it this one.

I love the Outlaws, the old band, Hughie, Monte, etc... Saw them w/ Hatchet many times in early 80's... Danny Joe and Hughie were "Bro's"!

My first concert ever was Molly Hatchet and while they had some really good songs{I like their version of Dreams more then the Allman bros}
some of it just sound like they ripped off Skynyrd.
Both Hatchet and The Outlaws owe more then a little to Lynyrd Skynyrd,in fact there's a video somewhere of the Outlaws on stage with Skynyrd doing
T-for Texas which is awesome.

[Thin Lizzy]

Greatest guitar playing on a sitcom:

I've been playing guitar since 12 and I think I play acoustic better, fingerpicking stuff of the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Merle Travis and so on. Got a bit tired of shredding and soloing (also can't play it properly lol) but recently I've been into clean sounds and rhythm guitar, got a mod for my Fender Tele and now I have different pickup combinations, very cool. I like many styles of music that involve guitars, just to throw some names:

Tosin Abasi
Steve Morse
Frank Gambale
Oz Noy
Masayoshi Takanaka
The Hellecasters
John Scofield
Mark Lettieri
Al DI Meola

On bass my absolute favorite is Marcus Miller, so good.

[Moontrane]

Quite the wonderful slide player.

Derek Trucks (playing slide in above post) is one of, if not the GOAT electric guitar player, in my opinion. Some of his solos leave me open-mouthed in awe. Truly an incredible innovator.

In stating that I hate the overly-technical, arpeggio-playing maestros, I would like to acknowledge Guthrie Govan as a genuine virtuoso and a fantastic teacher. He looks like a composite of every sex offender who's ever lived, and I don't really listen to much of his music, but I think he's articulate and has a brilliant philosophical view of music as a language.

Skynyrd was everyone's (in the south) goal to be like. You play what you like.
They are much more than a Skynyrd rip-off. RVZ was producing Hatchets 1st album at time of crash, so they were tight.
Hatchet took it to the next level, much harder edge...

The opening track on album 1, you knew they were legit and coming for ya...

"Did you know that 500 dollars will get your head blown off???  It will, Ha ha ha"...  Epic...

True, Guthrie is something else, can play anything.

And many more. a Member of the Wrecking Crew he knew his way around a guitar. Later on during a television interview he was asked how it stacked up against some of the greatest guitarists. When asked about Eddie Van Halen He said something to the effect of I'm more versatile. If you haven't watched a video from years back of him and Roy Clark doing an instrumental on Ghost Riders in the Sky, it's pretty impressive

And yes.. I'm old

I've owned a Yamaha 12 string
Gibson SG1
A few not worth mentioning.
I'm currently down to a Martin acoustic.

I've owned guitars off and on for 40 years. I still suck
