OP is intellectually superior and exquisitely cultured because of random youtube links on elf sim forum.


He's definitely not an out of shape fire giant that lives in a room cluttered with video games and shitty band posters. Nope.

Defiling the soup thread with your negativity, and now this. Sounds like you need a hug.

You're welcome to perceive facts as negativity all you'd like if it helps you to cope with your clearly evident delicate sensibility. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

ya he mad, been that way a while

As a listener I don't really look at music analytically despite being very analytical and musical - I just now how it makes me feel. Some shit gets you off, some doesn't. There was a time when David Gilmour was as good as it got for me, but over time your tastes change. I just love the electric guitar - I think it is the most expressive instrument with such an incredible range (of sounds). This translated into me moving from classic stoner rock on to instrumental rock and eventually rock/fusion. This is a more a function of the players than the music itself - each of those genres are redeeming in their own right - but I find that the superior players gravitate toward the fusion. For me with Guthrie and Shawn Lane and whoever, it's less about what notes they play and more about the way in which they play them. This is what has allowed me to stay interested in guitar rock despite a lot of very repeated listening. Maybe eventually I will get my fill of all the good fusion out there and move on to Indian music or something retarded like Shawn Lane did. I still like Pink Floyd and Joe Satriani or whatever, but that sort of thing doesn't really get me off any more. It's like I just need more and more gratuitous of guitar playing. Occasionally with virtuoso playing comes virtuoso musicianship, and I think this is the real selling point of Guthrie Govan and Shawn Lane.

It doesn't have to be fusion either, I guess I just I want to hear great electric guitar players. Jason Becker (neoclassical shred metal, mostly) is another personal favorite of mine, yet again it's not about his speed - it's his heart. If something like Altitudes doesn't speak to you at least a little bit, you are probably tone deaf and/or retarded.

Becker is a pretty tasty soloist if you ask me!

Yet Becker is too terse and fruity for most people these days. Well, most people are borderline mentally retarded.

For the triple post I gotta say with Jason Becker it's really the tremolo arm that drives me wild. That guy could make his guitar cry. Such a sad story - Jason Becker was probably the most naturally talented guitarist of all time, cut down before his prime.

only thing more dime a dozen than rock guitar players are people trying to look cultured talking about them
