i am tired of this….if you can’t hear who what is playing i won’t lose my time to clarify.
reckon what you want just leave me alone
OK lets hope a full blown holdsworth vs Govan doesn’t start here…
Okay, sorry man. I didn’t mean to upset you, I thought we were having a discussion. Holdsworth is the man, no argument there.
because everyone in this damn world is a rock player and it’s getting pretty annoying if i hear one more pentatonic lick i will blow my brains out
and here comes Allan to save me …no licks no lame harmony and no lame playing at all…please i do not wish to talk more about this…reckon what you want
Everyone is a fan of everyone. All of those players are also Hendrix fans.
Govan is definitly more of a rock player, I don’t see why that is terrible.
i have heard all from Allan and all from Govan,Lane,Jordan.
Govan is a rockman he knows few chords and his improvisation is very weak from harmonic and Rhythmic side..his place is rock/shred music not fusion/jazz.Lane and Jordan are excellent.Govan and Lane are Holdsworth fanatic fans,gambale is Holdsworth fan,scott henderson is Holdsworth fan,Brett Garsed is Holdsworth fan,Steve vai is holdsworth fan,Yngwie malmsteen is holdsworth fan .maybe there is a reason just reckon what you what you want
@AtanasovPeter Same league? Yes. Holdsworth is like Coltrane with a guitar. Guthrie is a master of nearly every guitar technique. He has some really tasty improve too.
Amusing thing about Allan, you ever watch his REH video? He says that he doesn’t like the guitar and always wanted to be a sax player. That seems to clarify a lot about his unique approach to the guitar.
Django Reinhard was sweeping in 1890-1920′s
LOL…you dare place Govan and the others into the league Allan…LOL
Allan is the mastermind of electric guitar since 1969
See my other post
Stanley Jordan and Shawn Lane… nobody else can touch them. Well maybe Govan and Holdsworth. Just maybe
@hkdaijobu You can never tell whether Eddie is telling the truth or not… He originally said that he saw Jimmy Page doing open string pulloffs and thought “what if i did that with two hands”
P.S. I used to play in Eddie’s area when he was just getting into guitar, and I did two hand tapping, but only a simple version.
sensational1982
Jimmy Webster is really the first tapping guitar player.
INCORRECT! Eddy has admitted several times that he went to a KISS concert and saw guitarist ACE do the technique live, went home and developed his own style.
“well im sure some artists have done it before”
yeah. Stanley Jordan did it before.
Well if the video im about to mention is before steve hacketts time then you both are incorrect. Its chet atkins. Go look at the video orange blossom special with chet. And chet also did sweep picking in his video with mark knopfler with chet atkins called instrumental medley.
@A7XisGoDlY
INCORRECT. FAIL.
incorrect my friend was Steve Hackett of Genesis also he was one of the first person’s who make the sweep picking
eddy van halen was the first person to use the “tapping” technique on the guitar. well im sure some artists have done it before but van halen really started that trend
Was Stanley Jordan the very FIRST one to use the touch technique?
toca de mais, toca muito bem! é um gênio
Really, I can hardly believe my eyes… Damn this is incredible.
master of every style. What a brilliant man.
last one is sweet!!!!
e eu pensei que o desgraçado só tocava no dedo….ele é demais!!!
muito muito bom!!!!
