I wonder what they'd have as their #1 best solo... probably some crap by Pink Flyod, Led Zep or U2.
C.C. Deville thinks he's one of the top guitarists around. I read it in an interview once.
what makes this so great, the 'jimmy page violin bow reversal'.. is the 'tuning ' of the violin midway...GENIUS!!
feel free to feel offended, cyber-bullied, put out, outside of the clique, side-lined, marginalised or just generally have the piss taken out of. However it's a JOKE!-Nick's Mirth World!
I fuggin hate Neo Classical solo's!.........Dogshite!
100mph solos with no heart, soul or feel.. all these guitarists miss the point, they need to listen to someone like Lukather or Schon instead of Malmsteen & Cooley.
Dont Know if he's been mentioned, but you can add Mick Mars to that list of toss as fu*k players.
It's when I read cr*p like this that I'm glad I don't know stuff about 'pentatonic' scales and such. I don't care about technical bumpf. I listen and if I like it...I like it.
Once read an interveiew with Roger Golver who when asked what he listens to replied on the lines of "I don't. As a producer all I hear is the buttons being pushed in the studio" I thought then to have such technical knowledge must be a pain in the ass as it takes away from the simplicity of enjoyment. Same applies here.
Mick Mars toss as fu*k ?? He's very under rated and his slide blues playing is excellent.
As for Lukather, played with him in Germany in 94 not overly impressed by his playing, good though he is. Was impressed by the ammount of Bolivian marching powder he managed to consume during the after show party. Only because it gave us the opportunity to make a quick exit with all the bottles of voddy & schnapps whilst he dealt with a bit of 'brain leakage'.
Have to agree with you about Malmsteen though. Brilliant musician, just too much guitar masturbation Im afraid.

Least we agreed on something then father! Got to admit though, i still stand by my Mars statement, he may have some good riffs under his belt, i just dont dig him as a lead player..

The ones that slag music theory off are the ones who dont understand it.
But I agree being too technically minded can sometimes be a bad thing but it can be a bloody good thing too.
Actually Pentatonic scales are excellent to make a solo out of as you can play say for instance an E major Pentatonic scale over an E Major chord progression and it wont sound bad it's great for solos and cool to mix it up with a E major blues scale as well.
That's it music lesson over for today!

The point I was trying to make was that the author(s) of this article slagged off the 'Love Gun' solo cos "petatonic scales are only interesting if you mix the notes up" or something. Well if 'Love Gun' is a pentatonic scale then that's fine with me...'cos it suits the song perfectly!...
