Fukin hell!? You must be joking me, right? What kind of a fool would pass up a gig with Ozzy over a stupid mask and Kentucky Fried Chicken box on his head. I have a couple of interviews with him in Guitar One and he seems like a real nutter. I just assumed that it was part of an act. What a fukin Idiot!

My current favorite Jazz/Blues/Fusion/Rock player - the almighty Scott Henderson!

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
always thought Duarte played terrific.. however his voice has something to be desired, wouldnt you agree vanchilds ?

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
Scott Henderson is cool. .. bad voice tho... as long as he keeps the vocals out he can play !

For fuks sake! This Bach prelude is hard enough to play on the piano. What planet does this guy come from. Took me more than 3 months to get it down at a Schiff tempo and I completely butcher the fugue.
That's amazing, LG. Another CC in 24.
Duarte is a solid player, but you were spot on with the vocals - they are a bit weak.

Cheers, mate. Greg Howe is a monster. He really turned the corner when the extraction album came out. My friend took some web-cam lessons with him for awhile for $60.00 an hour. I just put his solos into Logic 7 or this other program I have called Transcribe! and it gets the job done. Still having problems getting his playing down, though.
As for Henderson: I never heard him sing. Maybe you're confusing him with Kirk Covington, who was the old drummer and sang all of the vocals on the Blues albums, with the exception of a couple of guest artists?

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
I think your right... i just remember hearing the album Dog Party a few years back and thought,. the playing is killer. the vocals are shit.. hehehe...

Yeah, man. That's the loud-ass m.f. Kirk. They finally came to their sense and got rid of him. I've seen the blues band several times and Covington always took away from the music with his crap lyrics and horrible voice. Plus he would be half in the bag by the end of the gig ::**
You might like this clip of England's own Allan Holdsworth. He's like a mad scientist on his instrument.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I think IGNORANT is the most appropriate adjective. To play devils advocate, Kirk Hammett is playing in a completely different idiom. This guy was apparently a metal-head, but Darrell Abbott or Alex Skolnik blows Hammett out of the water in the metal-scene.
I love metal, and an abundance of other forms of music, but Hammett, IMHO, can't hold a candle to the creative maverick of James Marshall Hendrix. In terms of the Santana, and the Hendrix for that matter, it's like comparing apples to oranges. They are coming from very different disciplines and styles.
It's like comparing Picasso's cubist period to Jackson Pollak - it just doesn't make any sense.
CC bro! that was well said, but yes this doosh bag was clearly a racist thats why im no longer friends with him. his racist mouth almost got his asss kicked so many times. i cant stand to be around someone whos like that u know? its a sad situation cuz hes really a lost cause.
Well, CC#680, P4P. I know where you are coming from. I played in a blues band briefly that was headed by a former friend named Doug. He was a black harmonica player who could play the S*** out of his instrument, but sounded like a dying dog when he tried to sing. Guy remarked to me one time that I was too white and too Irish to play the blues. LOL And this was coming from a guy who's father was the first black physicist to break the color barrier at Brookhaven National Lab. I finished the gig, took my $110, and told him to call Buddy Guy (who I can't hold a candle to).
Last time I seen him play, he was playing with this morbidly obese Italian dude...go figure.
Shame is he's a really bright guy with an amazing head. I just think that growing up in a predominately white suburb has made him a bit bitter due to some bad life experience.
hahaha maybe he just has a fetish for italian fat assssses?

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
Back to the Buckethead thing -
I really think he is Paul Gilbert. Maybe Paul got a crap deal and Bucketed up to get some play without legal types breathing down his neck.
Notice the similarities - not only in playing, but build, height, and the story that Buckethead was a student of Gilbert's.
Watch closely.

And did anyone see the Steve Vai/Tony MacAlpine/Billy Sheehan bit on the Clapton Crossroads Benefit disc? Wicked cool. Hurts my feelings everytime.

speaking of feelings, you were right about Tin Pan Alley by SRV, it's on a jukebox close to me, way cool. Good for a slow dance at last call.
I also have to handed it to Jeff Beck. Way cool, and very creative, right up there with hendrix for uniqueness. John McLaughlin is not to shabby either.

You pretty much summed that up really well, P4P. :coolclick: It's like saying Andre Watts can't play Liszt because his father was Afro-American. I seen him twice and he's an absolute monster. Not with JUST chops, but he really plays that repertoire with an amazing sense of musicality while others tend to take a more mechanical, robotic approach to Liszt.

Interesting theory. ;D I actually thought that for a moment myself. But Gilbert is a world class virtuoso and I don't know why he would do something like that.
It doesn't make any sense to me.

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
Not sure how I missed this thread..
I like the technical virtuosos.... EVH, Vai, Satch, Nuno, John Petrucci, Marty Freidman.
EVH once said that Alan Holdsworth was the only player to even make him wonder how he did "that." That says a ton about your playing.
Eric Johnson was pretty good too.

John Myung - Free Port Jam

Who knows? Gilbert is the type to do something crazy like that, for sure. If you watch videos of them, their technique is similar - left and right hand position, pick grip, angle of the elbow, etc, etc.
Probably not true, but it's fun to speculate!

Guitar for the practicing musician was a great magazine. The only one that I would recommend now is Guitar One. Out of all the other rags out there it covers a fair amount of different styles and players.

No, don't think so. There are an abundance of players who can meet those metronome settings, excluding myself. Petrucci has sound technique but he doesn't have the legato chops of Allan Holdsworth or this guy:

Re: Current Greats and all time greatest Guitar players
Sorry Shadow but what that Lane guy is doing is impossible. ;D
What do you think of Steve Lukather? He seems pretty good to me. Here is a clip of him playing with Jeff Beck.
[youtube=425,350]5FuAZrsjYok[/youtube]
Funny thing about Jeff Beck, he may not be as technically spectacular as some of these guys, but his style has an unconventionality about him that few can duplicate.
