Cracked Ass Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Eh...I went through the guitar god phase as well, and much of that stuff I don't listen to anymore. However, unlike most people fitting that description, I still have a lot of respect for those who did their thing and did not masturbate excessively with technical displays for their own sake. A lot of ignorant thugs seem to clown good guitar technique altogether, which is ridiculous. Yes, there were a few overindulgent Malmsteens who put a premium on most notes per second, but plenty of the oft-clowned guitar gods had good compositional sense and made some good music, which remains good even though my tastes have changed. Still getting my respect: Joe Satriani Eric Johnson Eddie Van Halen Allan Holdsworth Jimi Hendrix There's more, but top 5 was the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUE Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Tom Morello Sure, Tom is in no way one of the top 5 of all time... I thought this thread was your favorite 5 guitarists of all time. Although, you can't deny, Tom Morello is one of todays' most innovative and creative guitarists, and I think he is quite talented. He's, for sure, a cut above 90% of today's guitarists with their power chord solos, cheap Nirvana rip off progressions, $100,000 gear setups, etc. Zesto --> Good call on the Winter situation! And seriously... download SRV's instrumental version of Little Wing if you havent already heard! That shit is amazing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seno.oner Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 ^^^^^bands today suck it seems like theres almost no one with any skill whatsoever.....its all this punk shit (i.e. the vines) they play like a chord the entire song (that was an exagerration) and suck... i fucking hate the korn kids at my school who think thier the greatest band ever. i went through that phase, but come on after a while you have to realize what a bad taste of music you have if you're still listening to them.

Guest bug Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 all of you that listed kirk hammet need to be shot. that guy did not contribute anything to the advancement of guitar playing, except for proof that there is indeed such a thing as too much wah wah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bug Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 yer kidding.... off the top of my head: No Remorse Motorbreath Hit the lights don't make me dig through the old records and find out what other solos where he was using the wah in the early years for the record, i really like the second solo on Welcome home where doubled it with the harmony. that solo is beautiful, other than that, there were way more creative guitarists form the heyday of shred.

Smart Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I don't think that's a wah, it's just that hyper-midrange guitar tone of the late 80's thrash, maybe in No Remorse though, I can remember that solo hving some sort of envelope filter or something... but how about Alex Skolnik? He rips too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
