i hate these types of guys, all that flash and couldn't sell a record that even his mom will by :P

[gottacatchup]

a solo does not a song make

[SFDMALEX]

That is very ghey!

I cant stand these ghey ass speed junkies who got no soul at all.............................

Man I can play a 5 note riff that will sound better then that whole thing he just played.

[nthfinity]

no doubt this guy is quite talented... but far be it for me to say he is any Yngwie, Eric Johnson, Michael Batio Angelo (craziest guitar player alive built of raw talent, and a genius of music theory) , Jeff Beck, or Jason Becker...

SFDMALEX; i actually agree with your statement... if he were able to string his 'show-off' techniques into a song, then i would've been impressed... but each solo was its own piece of 'hey, look at me!' shit.

oh... and i didn't see this trick ;) (angelo)

/\/\/\These guys are surealy talented. I bet I couldnt "play" like them even if I tried my hardest but to be honest the only respect I have for these guys is purely from a technical angle.

Me, well I like John Frusciante(RHCP probably the most undertated player alive today), Hendrix, David Gilmour(Floyd)....

To each his own I guess.

Its a crime not to mention Steve Vai on a thread like this!!!

I love this guy!

^^ that is a rip of a hendrix riff....
shredders can't write :wink:

As is any number of other guys.. John Pertucci and Joe Satriani also comes to mind.

Hes not bad, but one solo does not a guitarest make. Id have to hear more of his stuff.

[SFDMALEX]

shredders can't write :wank:

AHAHAHA Quote of the day.

[SFDMALEX]

Joe Satriani

I saw him live and to be honest it gets boring as hell asfter more then 20min...

[graywolf624]

I saw him live too.. And just because someone has one set style doesnt diminish their overall ability (They write their own music afterall, I doubt its the only type they can play). I cant listen to Yngwie nonstop either, but either of the two are fantastic in adequate doses. Being a great guitarest as far as talent is different then being the best showman.

I saw him at g3, so he only performed alone for 30 mins or so which was fine.

Dont get me wrong, I love Yngwie, Vai and Satriani but I just find them to be very repetative to listen for more then half an hour.

I just remember sitting at the Satriani gig and having my jaw on the floore for the first 15 min but then it just went away and sounded the same from that point on.

[graywolf624]

No arguements here..

[corpse_grinder0]

any half way good guitarist from the 80s would eat this guy alive.

[graywolf624]

Only one problem.. The Linkin Park guitarest has very little actual talent.

[antonioledesma]

that "dude" doesn't know how to play a real song.
One thing is real talent to know how to create a song, give continuity, etc and that shmuch that only.... plays like a child with a toy

call it bias, but i can listen to Ynwie for quite some stretches, where Vai/Statriani/Petrucci i can only listen to that magic 25 minutes at a time... to me, yngwie doesnt really belong in the G3... hes on a totally different style then the others (sure they all have thier own style... but yngwie is much less melodic, and closer to pure heavy metal)
the only respect I have for these guys is purely from a technical angle.

well.... i'll agree with hendrix, and gilmour ;) also... it really depends on what kind of music the shredders make... some are eons better at actually writing music then others IMO..... but with any of them, it is respect for thier talent in playing rather then thier musical prowess.

[SFDMALEX]

Well out of them all I have much respect for Yngwie. I mean that guy knows the theory like I know......shit I dont know anything that well :lol:

I dont even think it's about the type of music you like. Good music is good music thats how I see it...I just wonder sometimes with guys like Satriani who know the axe better then anyone else but they still manage to get borring after the magic 25min.

I mean a guy like Frusciante. I have some of his live jams lying around...40min straight this guy plays and each one of them is good, cause he doesnt keep playing the same 3 chords every way possible but changes style and alternates all the time to keep the listener interested...


Eh...........


On a side note I went to buy strings today.....I asked for 11-49s the guy gives me 12-52s.......My god its hard to play these things..

[graywolf624]

lol.. Prolly sounds nice and crisp though ;)

[SFDMALEX]

/\/\/\Oh the is tone spectacular.....I just now gave it another go. It's actually not that bad, just have to lower the action a little, but I cant play much of Pink Floyd stuff anymore...I need two hands on the fret board to do the double bends now :lol:

[nthfinity]

alex.....

i never play with anything less then 8's and generally tune to Eb ;) ..... when i first bought my original guitar, i was buying 11's since i didnt know one way vs. another... sure 12's and up offer much fatter tone... but since im not SRV, i know my 'lightning' needs some assistance from the strings, and 8's do sound great, and feel better... oh, and a Seamore duncann hotrail (dual single coil wired as one )also aids in such a crunch tone.

although my axes are all back in Kalamazoo...

sometime i'll record something, and post it.

[SFDMALEX]

/\/\/\I honestly cant use anything lower then 10s. With 10s I stuggle because I tend to "over bend"..Im blessed with strong finger :lol: They are of good use in other places aswel hehe.

I really enojy Daddario 11s. Great tone, weigh just about right.

But playing some more of those 12s tonight it's just to heavy :| I just cant play fast with these things, forget about any hendrix, I'm sticking to strumming chords with these strings hehe

[graywolf624]

I prefer 11s but I was forced to get 10s last time cause they were out. Im not really happy with the 10s cause its just too easy to buzz the shit without significantly increasing my action.

[360modena]

OMG 12's 11's you all are roughs :). I played long time with 9's and have to play 10's (since I bought my Sheraton) and when i play fast bends, Strings slips from my fingers very often. Are you all tuned to Eb or D ??
I have to admit sound is much better than 9's...

Oh yeah, with light gauge I really have to bump up the action acoustic style...


BTW I'm getting a hang of these 12s. They dont seem to be as bad right now. The tone is just great, plus I get almost zero buzz with the action quite low. Now that I lowered the action a bit they are not as hard to play at all :)

Now imagine the sound with 12s. It's just so crisp and strong....ahhhhh

Oh and I am tuned to E, just standart tunning all around.
