Title: Some of your favorite guitar work???
Post by: Scott674 on February 17, 2008, 05:04:33 AM: Here's some of mine:
Paul Gilbert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vS6syL0-jM
Andy McKee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4
And for you Nintendo heads out there...
Chris Kline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5JlGQ5orL8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDllKN9V6fo

I'm sure I could make this list a mile long... There's a lot of good stuff, but those come to mind first. Anyone else have any favorites? (Not necessarily from YouTube)

(OK its not that technical but sound pretty good to me)

Post by: broken cord on February 17, 2008, 05:09:44 PM: Back in 1974 I recorded a radio show that would introduce me to a life-long
Guitar hero (Rory Gallagher). Rory Gallagher's Walk on Hot Coals brought shear listening ecstasy to my ears.... Now 34 years later I still listen in amazement.
Rory was a rare talent who never sold out.

Post by: Nolly on February 20, 2008, 12:14:40 AM: I'm really trying to hold back from posting a whole barrage of videos, so I'm limiting myself to just three (...ok, four)... for now

I have to start with a clip of the guys from SikTh. I first got into them when I saw them playing a clinic similar to this one. From that day I have been constantly wowed by their musicianship and ability, both individually, and even more so when playing together as a pair. No matter how close I think I get to nailing one of their songs, watching this video makes me feel hopelessly inadequate. Even if you're not a metal fan, I urge you to watchi this:

SikTh clinic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-8aipuDILs)

Secondly, Andy Timmons has to be the most tasteful player I've come across. His note-choice is sublime, and the guy packs so much expression into his playing it's unreal. I've chosen two of his videos, one being one of my all-time favourite guitar instrumental pieces, the second being what I hold up as my holy-grail of non-metal tones:

Super 70's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKeMzevbcgw)
BB preamp demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiW22O914Cg&feature=related)

Finally, this clip of Reb Beach had a profound impact on me a few years ago when I was starting to get into lead playing. It's the intro to his instructional VHS from the 80s, which i had but lost a couple of years back to an unscrupulous pupil of mine. I only just found this clip up on youtube, and watching it again it's funny to see how many staple licks of mine are nicked from it:

Cutting Loose intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8q0Mb_uOG8)

Post by: noodleplugerine on February 20, 2008, 12:50:33 AM: That Sikth vid is GREAT.

Seen it before - And was just as amazed that time.

And a good advert for BKPs!!

The ebony top B2 halfway through the vid is fitted with nailbombs if I remember right.

+1 for Andy Timmons.
I saw him for the first time (on vid) with Vai in the Ibanez 90th Anniversary performance, and I first I thought who's this Simmons guy.
But he just pulled this solo that made my jaws drop straight to the floor, and by the looks of it Vai almost did too. lol

Hah, I forgot to mention that Pin uses BKPs! He has ceramic bridge/AV neck Nailbomb sets in both his Blackmachines.

I can't believe Andy isn't way better known than he is, given his playing and his contacts... He really deserves a lot more coverage in magazines etc. His latest album is just plain incredible guitar music, I urge everyone who reads this to buy it!
He held a clinic at PMT Birmingham at the end of 2007 (that's about 20mins from where I was living then), and I just didn't know about it until a week later. I can't believe I missed out on an opportunity to hear and meet the guy in person...

I often wonder that myself.
He might be very popular in a different part of the world like Japan or Korea perhaps?
Speaking about missed opportunities, I missed DT in beijing last month. :(

Post by: QS-Nalle on February 28, 2008, 09:38:25 PM: If you want to be scared absolutely shiteless by pure technique alone there is no other than Shawn Lane (R.I.P)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkjp4r8wINA&feature=related
That, my friends, is perfect technique.

But if its fun I want I'll stick to the Young brothers of AC/DC, rock genius at its best!
