Frit0 Bandit0 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Chet Atkins... Not "rock" but the foundation: Chet Adkins is a legend Has anybody mentioned
The Dean Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Nice. Sounds like there's some Django Reinhardt in Atkins playing ... who knew! I'm a huge Chet Atkins fan. And his followers are some of the best pickers in the biz: Chet and Mark O'Connor: http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnext=1&am...p;v=absuj8MRTYw Chet and Tony Rice (with some other all time greats including David Grisman on mando, Bela Fleck on banjo, Rob Wasserman on bass and Mark O'Connor on fiddle): http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnext=1&am...p;v=YrNS54hBTdo

truth on hold Posted March 4, 2010 Author Posted March 4, 2010 Dean, I have to say I think your contempt for EVH as a soloist is unfounded. He has a lot of memorable offerings like "Eruption", "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "Little Dreamer." He'll never the emotive soloist like Gilmore, but he's not purely a shredder like Mahlsteem, who bores me to tears after the 1st minute.

He was horrible when I saw him in concert (way back at their start) and he has never impressed me as a guitarist. Extremely overrated, IMO. But, to each his/her own.

The Dean Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 EVH rips on Fair Warning. He will always be mediocre and soulless, IMO. All sizzle, no steak.

wide_right Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 thats Mahlsteem what do you think of an Al Dimeola? is he a soulless shredder too?
truth on hold Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 what do you think of an Al Dimeola? is he a soulless shredder too? well he's got an immaculate right hand, no doubt. but i'd say he all too often falls into patterns. and many times will play a riff just to show how fast he is. so in some sense, yes, he shreds
damj Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Comfortably Numb or Money... Knopfler is oft forgot about, but an excellent player and a little underrated I love Gilmour's style. Knopfler's work on Sultans of Swing is amazing ... he has some of the juiciest fills ever. I always liked Martin Barre's solo on Aqualung too.
Delete This Account Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 -- always liked Brian May on "Tie Your Mother Down." -- very under-rated solo is Lindsey Buckingham at the end of "Go Your Own Way." it's a solo that brilliantly catches the theme of the song. -- John Hiatt's solo on the ultra-great song "Ethylene" kicks butt, which is why it ranks as one of my all-time go-to songs. -- whoever does the solo on Black Crowes' "Hotel Illness." -- and having difficulty choosing one Pete Townsend solo. jw
DC Tom Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Slash on G'n'R's "Sweet Child of Mine". Not a big fan of any of their other songs, but that is one beautifully phrased and performed solo.

As a child of the late '70s, the first two of those are right in my wheelhouse. I do wish LiddyBuck hadn't started doing the random string-shredding thing at the end of multiple songs on the Say You Will tour, though. I could live with it on "I'm So Afraid," but I liked the ending of GYOW just the way it was.

The work at the beginning of Eminence Front is good but nothing epic. Heck, the most memorable soloing from a stringed instrument in that band is Entwhistle's in "My Generation"
