PrintableI like a lot of the people listed here, and I would definitely add Jack White somewhere near the top of that list. The more I listen to his playing, the better it sounds to me.

If we're going by the "since Prince" criterion, I'd like to nominate:
In my opinion, he's an excellent guitarist who doesn't get his due...perhaps because he doesn't play long solos or show off much.  I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

GGDeVille said: Chieli Minucci I was a big fan of Chieli back in the early days of Special EFX. He would really put on a show live!! Even though he was working in a Pop/Jazz context, His manipulation of sounds used to remind me of King Crimson's Adrian Belew...I'll have to check out some of his solo stuff... ...

SPYZFAN1 said: Good picks, Black. Neal and Randy are amazing..very underrated. Neal actually plays some cool funk-rock licks on Betty Davis' (Miles-ex) debut LP. Blackbird shreds too. Did you dig Jesse's last CD (Bare My Naked Soul)?
Thanx, yeah, I love "Bare My Naked Soul". I have all of Betty Davis's shit. Neal AND Larry is on it. I've met Blackbyrd, very down to earth brother. I think Neal is underrated, but I feel Randy gets his props here and there. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

mimi fox My Favorite Randy Rhoads solo is the outro on "Tonight" from Diary. Also, what's good as an exercise for your picking technique is the break in "Over The Mountain" the appregio intro before the solo. Tap you foot and start on the C#m minor appregio and play the bits after it. For each tap of your foot it's 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 12 then again. Your guitar should be tuned a half step down.

Randy was the first person I mentioned. It doesn't seem like he's been dead since 82. I forgot about Darrel. Sheeesh. And worst than that, I forgot about The Edge. That's why I'm not crazy about lists, cuz, I WILL forget some cats that I dig. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

To be honest, I can't STAND that stage name. Trust me, I know where he's comimg from, using the names of his favorite guitarists. But man,... nah. Come up with your name. Jimi and Hazel both would have told him that. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Yes, The Edge. I dig him. Very distinctive sound. Very melodic. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

blackguitaristz said: Slash said: The Edge ...?!
I agree that he is distinctive, and he has very much his own sound - very important for a guitarist (see also Brian May, Jimi Hendrix etc) but I think he long since played himself into a musical cul-de-sac. He hasn't come up with anything new or exciting for years and years and I think he is far less melodic than people give him credit for. Sure there is more to guitar than endless lead showboating, but I really don't feel like Edge is pushing the boundaries of rhythm playing or sound-scaping at all. On a totally different note, Will Sergeant of Echo and the Bunnymen reminds me of the Edge, for some reason. | |

On a totally different note, Will Sergeant of Echo and the Bunnymen reminds me of the Edge, for some reason. No, he has seemed to become stagnant. What I'm refering to is his work in the 80's. That's all I think of when I think of The Edge. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
