elliott0 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 well iv heard alot of crazy stuff on guitar hendrix to malmsteen but nothing i have ever heard comes close to this guy http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/guitar.php if u can find anything more insane then this please post i wanna hear it :guitar:
behindblueeyez Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 Best to everyone else or not, I'll always say Pete Townshend, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Dave Gilmour and Donald Roeser. ::
_Jayson_ Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 That guy is really good. He's got a very original sound. Some of that had a jazz/funk bass sound to it.
MindCrime Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 His name is Justin King, he's very talented, looks like he's influenced on the basics of yesterday. It took a while for the video to load, but he's got potential.
Danielj Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 Man, that was amazing. I don't know if I could name anything sicker than that.
Jillianne Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Posted October 4, 2004 That was some crazy s***, right there :guitar:
ImThatGuyToo Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Yeah, Justin King's really cool. Sad though that all I know about him is that video. I have a couple thoughts... Jimi Hendrix - Most innovative and groundbreaking does not necessarily mean greatest Yngwie Malmsteen - Personally, I'm glad he was mentioned, but being freakishly fast does not necessarily mean greatest Eddie Van Halen - great, but not the greatest Steve Vai & Joe Satriani are really cool. John Petrucci (Dream Theater) was not mentioned. My pick: Jimmy Page Eric Clapton Al Dimeola Santana
elliott0 Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 no no that guys name isnt justin king thats the guy that posted the video... from the credits im guessing his name was jean larrivee :guitar:
_jr_ Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 It's interesting how the tadpoles either need a song title or artist, or they go right to this thread. Welcome to Songfacts, elliott. Hope you hang around.
nobody_home Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 A simple answer: Jimi Hendrix IS the greatest, an inrrefutable fact. If you need reassurance, then listen to Machine Gun on the Band of Gypys album. He is a major influence on every guitarist that came after him, directly or indirectly. His powerful, astonishing rendtion of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is breathtaking, completely putting ANY guitar player to shame. He gave passion for music a new meaning. He became famous simply because of his talented, skillful, and ingenious mastery of the instument and deserves every ounce of respect given. Anyone who doesn't recognize this is ignorant.

_Jayson_ Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Machine Gun on the Band of Gypys My favorite guitar solo.
elliott0 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 he he he i withdraw my statment about him being the greatest ... i listened to it and studied it quite abit today... and i figured it out start to finish im missing about 4 notes durring the 2 hand tapping part but its really almost not as hard as it sounds.. not to say its amature but meh definetly not as pro as some stuff.. still its an ace up my sleeve for only when i need it to show up but never to show off .. if you studie it its not as hard but he plays with so much expression you really cant go by how it looks only how it sounds.; my bad it his name was justin king i found his website and he has 30 second apatizers for his solo album but i think it just might be worth buying from what i heard . and as for the comment i had about sticking around i only joined this comunity for this forum particuarly but ill defenetly stick.. but iv had to much to drikn and i think i need to go to bed.. p-sout :guitar: www.justinking.com .. i think :: oh and PSSST... the i had to figure the tuning out by a upstroke i heard him do at the begining the tuning is D-A-D-G-a-d lol its a tuning commonly used in funk i found just thought i might give u guys a heads up if u where thinking of learning it peice
_Jayson_ Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 Anyone like Yngwie Malmsteen? He's a good guitarist, but I can only take short doses of his music.
DiggsUK Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 If this is you Bob, get back to Julie as she was the best thing you ever had and a handsome woman like that won't wait forever. Apologies Stench if you are not fat Bob from 'Fax. Regards
cpride09 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 gilmour,hendrix and of course jimmy page :guitar: :guitar:
Jazzcat Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 A slight twist on the "Best" theme if your considering influential guitarists I would have to give the nod to Django Reinhardt who probably did the most to introduce the guitar as a solo instrument and not just for chord accompaniment. The other artist would have to be Les Paul for his inventiveness not only with developing the electric guitar but also multi-track recording. Without Les guys like Hendrix and Clapton may have ended up as clarinet players!
edna Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 I´ve been listening "Exile on Main Street" the other night at a friend´s place... then "Goat´s Head Soup"... and I still believe that Mick taylor is my top guitar man... I also like Clapton, Santana, Beck and others, but my feelings go with Taylor.
Gyzmopr Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Its really very unfair question. I'd say that John Petrucci above all ... you guys obviously haven't heard him play Dreamtheater. Although I'd understand you are not into progressive metal. If you'd like to broaden your musical spectrum I suggest you listen to it. I think this guy is the most talented. I think we should open forums for different genres.
The Seeker Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Pete Townshend to me, maybe also Jimmy Page. George Harrison and Jeff Beck aren't bad either.
angeloguitar Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 you all have it wrong. its all about michael angelo. if you go to his website at http://www.angelo.com/html/mp3___video.html you will understand what im talkin about
