Whose your favourite guitarist in the world?

[edder]

i just can´t believe someone mentioned KEVIN SHIELDS.......... damn....



he´s more than genious but one bloody lazy genious. he left us all high and dry since loveless and gave us a little outro mp3 of his beautiful guitar drone.



kevin shields......... he made me play dreampop and i´m still very much a shoegazer...

 

[subversion]

ed- you´re right. Loveless is easily my favourite ´surreal´ album. together with cocteau twins & curve i was introduced to the ´other´ guitar playing method. but Shields- pure genius...

[parablue74]

Yo Silent, we get shit pest like u to screw up a proper forum. And since you are directing at me only in all your replies, i challenge you to take it on with me outside in the real world if you even have as much guts as you do here. Bet i´ll kick the trash out of you for good!!

 

[silent]

REALLY? HAHAHA. BUT YOU REMEMBER, U START ALL THIS MAN, U WANT TO KICK ME OUT, KICK YOUR DAD FIRST!

 

[parablue74]

Start all this?? I´m not the starter of soft.com, just a user. If you´ll not interested in music or having conversations in this music forum, it´s better u leave here. Else it´s just seen you´ll just a pest here and hindrance. The forum is a public domain, but that doesn´t giv u the right to step on others at your own free will. If you really have a problem with me, for "I don´t know what reason!", why don´t you jus face it like an adult, rather than behaving like some immatured kid. Unless you really are one!

Hey.. Don´t squabble.. We got eyes to see who´s right who´s wrong.. Hehe~

 

[Lifehouse]

[Dawn]

8)

 

[handynas]

nobody mentioned marty friedman and jason becker? they are my favourite!! marty´s solo captures my soul everytime I hear them.



Malmsteen is just too technical, and speeds everytime - dun like!!

 

[subversion]

SRV is my fav blues player to date. he´s got absolute command of the instrument & lives up to high standards on live performances. R.I.P....

you have to either understand malmsteen or not look up to him for what he´s doing. being fast all the time does put people off... but i respect him for his indulgences- great improvisation from this bloke 8)

 

[chimaera]

fave is Santana, Satch, Eric Clapton n tremonti ,.. all got their own sound n they play with hearts ,.. my point of view,.. but the list is not exhaustive :arrow: I love santana theres so much soul in his playing altho its not technically too dazzling :wink: cheers,..

 

[subversion]

i´ve just gotten copies of Neil Zaza´s releases & i must say that he has a good balance of technicalities & memorable melodies.

 

[Meisharpe]

My most favourite guitarists are, Mana(Malice Mizer), Kaoru(Dir en Grey), Die(Dir en Grey), hide(X-Japan), Hisashi & Takuro(Glay) Too many J-rock stuff...but these are my favourites. ^_^ if it´s bassist, Toshiya(Dir en Grey) and Jiro(Glay) would do the trick.

Ohh! I almost forgot this power guitarist i use to love over Steve Vai... Guess who is that!!! 8 Finger Spider Tapping Master, VAN HALEN. Though i never felt his songs were the greatest, but i find his technique awesome. Saw his video once with his tapping, wow! Bet no one in Singapore can do the 8-finger tapping.

Hi,

I realize my reply is very late,haha.But I was wondering,I didn´t know Eddie Van Halen is an 8 finger tapper?When I think of 8 finger tapping I think of people like Stanely Jordan and Jennifer Batten.On which song did he use that technique?If you are refering to ´Judgement day´,I don´t think that that one counts.Compare that with the previous 2 guitarists and you will know what I mean.

I also agree that the 8 finger tapping is not a common technique used among local guiatrist.When I was playing elec guitar long ago(I mainly play basses now)I was interested in developing that technique,but never got it right.I´m sure someone in Singapore can do it well,its just that we haven´t seen it yet.Hardly see any chicken picking country style playing too.

 

[marshall_law]

I´m a fan of slash until now. Slash doesn´t play like he used to play during the Gn´R years. So slash is out for me. My fave guitarist are jimi hendrix, Eddie van halen, BB king and why nobody mention him, JIMMY PAGE! Many guitarist got his influence and i´m one of them!!!

 

[Lifehouse]

ok.

 

[repulse87]

Well... mine, in no order of preference.



1. Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV)

2. Eric Johnson

3. Tommy Emmanuel

4. Joe Satriani

5. Eric Clapton

6. Jimi Hendrix



I like so many other people though, but these are the ones I truly admire.

 

[hifi_killer]

kirk hammet lost his touch..



the sonic youth guy is kinda awesome.
