Yeah these cats play fast but they lack the soul of SRV.
But then again they aint playing the blues are they.
Have you ever heard robin trower or Alvin Lee?
Those cats were smokin guitar strings long before these dudes were ever born.

i know who they are!!! they are not as fast

besides shown lane isnot like that. he doseb't play rock, its like jazz, blues, rock, and pop. its his own style.

buy the powers of ten album by shawn lane. his music is amazing

Yeah I heard some stuff on his web site.
I guess im just too old fer it not my style.
But thats the great thing about music is there is always something there for everybody.

I like more classic rock and blues.
Some country NO rap.

seriously, buy every shawn lane album. He is so unique and different that that alone is reason enough to like his music!! powers of ten!!

I have recordings of his jam sessions with famous player like

johnson and many more

sadly, shawn lane, a musical genious, passed away at age 45 from complications with his lungs from smoking

to some extent yes, but in these cases they are playing so fast that the speed in which they must think about what they are playing and the chords that they are playing over is increadible.

espessially shawn lane. There are so many neat modes in his playing

you do know what a mode is right? its a music term

that is all just penatonics

its not like he is using any modes in that. its fast but so what!! the penatonic scales have such limits and modes allow much more variety in what notes you can play. you all know what modes are right? the music term?

manticor · « **Reply #86 on:** March 09, 2004, 07:53:18 PM »

these are the name of the 7 modes

Ionian
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian

there are thousands of modes but these are the standard 7

i will let you figure out what they are on your own becuase they are very complicated

If you don't know what these are then you can't really say who the best guitar player is now can you?

just something i wanted to point out

I love it! could be sig material.

and on the modes... pentatonic scales are simplified from, but based on, the very scales you speak of

minors yes, but the same basis.

One can play with great complexity in just about any key or mode but the real talent, IMO, is in connecting and letting flow.. the placement of notes and silence etc.. not mere 'ripping'.
Ripping with not purpose is like j**king off

actually i totally agree with above newbie's point.

"music" critics are just jazz band pianists from HS that couldnt cut it IRL anywhere else. some of them play at the food courts in malls though... to "keep their cred up" i guess.

as far as "pleasing to the ear" goes sorry... hendrix did ALOT of dissonant sounding stuff. innovative and unique but not always pleasing sonically.

also pleasing to hear is VERY subjective. and example would be "river of deciet by mad season" very beautiful song IMHO... my step dad hated it. said the feedback and droneing sounds made it horrible. his opinion. thats what makes lists like this usless.

to rate solely on techicnal performance and originality would leave out players that have more "feeling" than others. also it could only be made by other guitar players. then noon-players would feel left out.

done only by plesaurable to listen too and you get a list somewhat like this one, that outrages guitarists.

noone can ever be totally happy.

words to live by LOL!

My miscommunication 2stony, I ment "WFT" as Were the F***. I used to take classical guitar, can still play a little "Asterius".
