Favourite guitarists anyone?

slipss · 16-09-2008 05:24AM

Chances are this has been done plenty of times before man, but for me it's

Slash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trJt4Br5EtY

Satriani: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yc8xyL0Xxo

and (I know I might be the only one saying this one)

Noel Gallagher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39NS7h92WcA

IMO ders nothing at all special about noel! just catchy use of the pentatonic scale over and over and over again lol But yeah Satriani is really good! Hes really an all rounder!

If you wanna judge it by technique though i really respect Paul Gilbert. His picking is so unbelieveably clean it astonishes me. Now i know the likes of malmsteen and vai are just as good maybe even better but gilbert is one thing that they arent..... a prickk

Ha

but that said i find it hard to listen to instrumentals and im not a fan of gilberts structures, it sounds likes hes just repeating himself alot!

I much prefer songs that are complimented by great guitar work rather than a song dedicated to the guitar.

Anyway the guitarist tht i find most entertaining atm is Synyster Gates and i know many of you wont agree with me but I just love his style of playing.

Robert Johnson · 21-09-2008 03:08PM

I know it's totally subjective... but the master is John Fahey

Imagine being able to write and play this kind of stuff for an acoustic

Stev_o · 21-09-2008 09:21PM

Keeping with the theme of acoustic players i choose Andy Mckee remember hearing this song and thinking to myself that this guy was truly a master with guitar. The sound still gives me shivers to this day

rockandrolldamn · 25-09-2008 08:51PM

I still put Robert Johnson vey highly on my list particulary after nearly giving myself an ebelisim trying to learn to play his version of rambling on my mind, normally people use open G to make things easy not Mr Johnson!

RoosterIllusion · 23-10-2008 11:27AM

Nobody has any love for Ry? Easily my favourite.

This is him not playing a guitar.

Mike Oldfield is a wonderful guitarist on top of everything else he plays. Kirk Hammett is amazing aswell.

ham_n_mustard · 16-12-2008 03:13PM

Michael Romeo from symphony x. is it still ripping off malmsteen if he's better than mamlsteen?

Brian May, I enjoy his harmonized expressive melodic style and the classical elements and witty turns of phrase contained in his guitar work

Jimmy Page, very versatile and imaginative

Kirk Hammet has written some extremely interesting solos, I like his processed ESP sound, very full on

Paul Gilbert

Herman Li and Sam Totman

Johnny Greenwood

David Gilmour

Jimmy Hendrix
