admo Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Best/favorite - to each their own. Mine: 1. Eddie Van Halen 2. John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers) 3. Slash (GNR) Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Oh you guys are killing me....I know he's not the best but, he's my favorite guitarist z_lwocmL9dQ Watch the entire thing.......he's a guitar legend That guy sounds a lot like Eddie Van Halen. Still upset at them for not coming out with an album the Summer of '82? and forcing me to buy Michael Jackson's Thriller to feed my VH fix. Plus he somehow stole my Battery/screw gun to the pickups idea... They played out here last Friday, but didn't find out about it in time. I still wonder why Rolling Stone has him so far down their list of 100 greatest...Because Rolling Stone seldom has any idea what they're talking about. He is very one dementional IMO. I would agree. what do you mean? Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 ^ While I'm certainly not the be-all-end-all of knowledge when it comes to Eddie Van Halen, for me he just falls into the same category of all those shredders who play a million notes per second but never craft any SONGS worth listening to. That, and I can't stand his tone. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I see, but you could say he was one of the first shredders who tries to play a million notes per second!? VH has some good stuff without him trying to play fast.. Dance the Night Away Runnin with the Devil -------------------------------- and one of the most original songs out there Hot for Teacher Well, regardless, I know what your saying, I just think he's separated himself a little more than what your giving him credit for.

Dance the Night Away?.. Probably my least fav. VH tune With DLR. I couldn't even stomach Jagger/Bowie's version and Barely Martha and the Vandells? Loved Runnin with/Devil, though. I guess I appreciated Eddie's experimentation with the instrument ...Not always playing it to conform with accepted practice? But the constant high frequency hiss on almost all of their recordings made the backside of my brain hurt. Quote Link to comment

Silent Commit Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I can't see how you can compile a list of greatest guitarist without including Jeff Beck .........and then, not to brag, but I'm pretty good at Guitar Hero! Quote Link to comment

Now if I can just figger out how to tune it... there is these little nobby thingies on the end of it, i think that if you turn them one direction that it will tighten and if you turn it the other direction they will loosen the strings. lefty=loosey righty=tighty Quote Link to comment
