Hmmm... I quite like that...

But I like Holdsworth too, and there doesn't seem to me much love for him around there here parts!!!

This just had me laughing... the dude later bought some BKPs so I'm sure his "tone" has improved.  :lol: :lol:

Carlos Santana - respect and like him and his  music, but for God's sake learn to bend up to the correct pitch, man.
Joe Satriani - did I miss a meeting?

Have we done a thread on underrated guitarists?  I'd very much like to offer my love to the late John McGeoch.

Now then, what's 6 inches long and not getting sucked tonight?

lmao, I get that one (and agree) - an oxymoron if ever I've heard one.

But I like Holdsworth too, and there doesn't seem to me much love for him around there here parts!!!

There is some at least, I really liked his early stuff, when he was using an SG through a Mesa and his acoustic stuff is astonishing, just not a fan of the synth-y tone.
I'd say that fusion is really an aquired taste type of thing, the more someone hears dissonance the less cacophonous it seems.
It's still a mystery to me why it's used in porn so much...in my experience it tends to ruin the mood....

It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.

I've got two CDs by the prog band Tempest, the first has Holdsworth on guitar and the other has the late Ollie Halsall.  I think at one point they were both in the band at the same time.  Anyway, it's a bit more accessible than his later stuff!

I said I didn't want to go on about shredders, but I saw an ad in Guitar World today featuring this guy, and I really don't get him...

Rusty Cooley.

Very, very fast, very, very tight. Extremely nerdy. Very unmusical. He's a sportsman, not a musician.

I would say Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Satriani's music just doesn't resonate with me emotionally, and Steve Vai's music is so melodramatic when he's not just showing off.

Also, what is with the fan? Is he unable to play guitar without his hair being whipped behind him at 100 miles per hour?  :?
