Wacky Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I am properly taught with the piano. Give me enough time and I can manage anything. I taught myself the guitar. I thought I was pretty good. Then I saw this: Fernando Miyata. I weep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If you're ever in need of a jaw dropping, just type 'Guthrie Govan' in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=440p8ZQZ3Js&feature=related (3:00.... I don't even.....) It's more impressive when you realize that half of his pieces are usually improvised sections with always completely different but consistently ridiculous and tasteful.

Flare4War Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The thing about that type of playing I have to wonder when I see it is - How are you suppose to know if they even mess up? It doesn't sound to me like they are playing anything in particular, just shredding away not knowing what they will do next. I'm not saying it isn't killer good playing. It just doesn't take my breath away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergonaleash Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Seems to me that if you can't tell whether or not somebody is messing up, that means they're pretty fucking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy In Rubber Suit Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is actually the greatest guitarist of all time. Watch and just burn your axe! Chuck Schuldiner is definitely one of my favorite guitarists. While self taught, very repetitive in his early work and over reliant on the harmonic minor scale, he grew as a musician and guitarist to develop a very distinct and unique style.

Damashii!! Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If you're ever in need of a jaw dropping, just type 'Guthrie Govan' in youtube: WHAAAAAAA? I've grown up accustomed to Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Vai but that dude has got to have callouses made of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've got to agree with the guy in the rubber suit. (ROFL!) All those guys can shred exquisitely but Schuldiner's solos can be described as being much more "INTERESTING." But my favorite shreddy guitarist of all time is Luca Turili. Nobody can arpeggio like he arpeggios! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7IEu1BKFkE&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillRock Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 heh another guitarist thread. Ok, in that case... I gotta say out of the underrated guitarists you don't hear about, I think Vito Bratta is pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrPJgnOXjy8&feature=player_detailpage#t=139s Great sense of melody + flashy guitar techniques (tapping etc) = win imo. Think somewhere between eric johnson and eddie van halen. Also, I found this guy on youtube about a year ago: Some of the fastest and cleanest guitar shredding i've ever heard, he's better than some of the famous guitar shredders.

mickomoo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Honestly I admire anyone who can hold the instrument. I found it really annoying to learn... that and I'm really lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schuldiner is definitely one of my favourites. While I feel like a lot of genre pioneers get surpassed by bands that come after them, I feel like Chuck's growth as a musician and his tendency to lean towards a lot of progressive and innovative songwriting in later Death albums really sets it apart from a lot of death metal even today. He was taken from us far too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Ironically, Chuck originally hated the progressive death metal movement, feeling that death metal should not stray far from its roots. Thankfully he came out of that idiotic haze. I've posted this before, but it's appropriate for the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
