Is there anyone here who likes Yngwie , Racer X, Derek Taylor,Shawn Lane, Terry Syrek...and all the other shredders????
 
well if you are going to mention joe satriani it is only fair to say that stu hamm is one of the best bassists of all time. if you cant tell i'm a hard hitter not a shredder. peace
 
Is satriani the guy who taught Steve Vai?

I thik Steve Vai is awesome, but dont really like listening to techincal stuff, just plain old easy listening shit.
 
OK, I'm not into the technical guitar players myself, but I am a huge music lover. For those of you who do love those types of players what do you think of Robert Fripp (King Crimson)?

The band is a real Prog band that I saw on tour with TOOL(on the west coast, because TOOL is scared of the East) and they blew my mind. They've changed lineups over the years but I believe Fripp stayed constant. From what I heard he can really take it to the next level. What do you guys think? That was my one experience.

Don't think Satch taught Vai, but I know he was a teacher of Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist in Metallica. Which is actually quite evident if you listen.

ACtually he did teach Vai, I know it seems weird but he did. On Vai first solo album he even thanks Joe. It's kinda cool, also if you listen carefully you can tell their is an influence from Joe through Vai.

Also, about King Crimson, they are awsome, I really wanted to see them on Tool's lat tour, but we got Tricky, which I liked a lot, but would have rather seen King Crimson. I have heard so much about them through other artists, and they seem like a band that rips up any live performance.

Satriani also taught Alex Skolnick from Testament.

Yeah, I love technical guitar players. I sort of play like Paul Gilbert myself. I think I sound a bit mechanical though, not free enough, if you know what I mean.


Impellitteri is one of my favs. Check out Symphony X or Stratovarius.

Yeah I play like old Paul Gilbert stuff..."FRENZY", "YRO" etc....I like Impellittri also... But the two most insane technical players out there are Terry Syrek and Shawn Lane...
 
Malmsteen is pretty boring right now.After that car crash that man fucked everything up...i love those first releases...i believe that Far beyond the Sun is one f the best songs on the Planet ........

I think I still have two of Impellitteri's cd's somewhere.

The other guitarist in Racer X Bruce Bouiett (sp?) was fucking awesome !!!

Can't forget about Ronni Le Tekro (TNT) one of my all-time favs.

Solider Without Faith & Black Star are two of my favs.
 
I remember when Malmsteen was first hitting the scene and most of my musician buddies ( who were jealous they couldn't play like Yngwie) slagged him. "Blackmore on 45", was the quote going around. He was the one who inspired me to become a better quitar player and start listening to other styles of music, ie. Jazz and classical. I don't know how many hours I put in learning the songs off those first 3 albums.

Believe it or not, my fav. Malmsteen cd is Eclipse. heh!

Joe Satriani is all I need, I have all 12 of his albums, he rocks.
Tone is mastered by HIM!


My personal Satriani favorite is "The Extremist"! Unbelievable album.
 
Satriani also taught larry lalonde from primus


mystical potato groove thing - hell yeah.



oh yeah and shredding is cheeseball.
 
yngwie and racer x are bad ass, also gotta love ZAKK, and dave mustaine is another shredder...also have any of you guys ever heard of joe stump? im not a guitar player myself so once i hear someone whos reached Yngiwish levels i cant tell the difference anymore, but supposedly this guy warms up by playing yngwies stuff then gets into his tunes...i DLed some of his stuff and needless to say he shreds
