Poll Best G3 Guitarist

[tx askerrrr]

I agree! I think that Satriani is the best Guitarist in the world.

[Planet]

Paul Gilbert for me. Good mix of technique, speed, and feeling. Like his work with racer x.

You people seriously have to download Get Out of My Yard before you can form any sort of opinion on what these players are trying to achieve.

[spaniard]

Why? I mean, listen to the guy! 1:58 and on is quite good.

Yes, it's a shreRAB vid. No, it's not the original audio!

[Johan Abraham]

Get Out of My Yard is the perfect album to get into him with, several styles represented there.

Well duh, not good? Damn, here I thought he was one of the world's renowned guitar virtuosos. Boy, do I feel stupid now.

[Mr. Smily]

CliRAB Of Dover beats everything Malmsteen's done, sadly none of Johnson's other songs compare.

[Venba]

Joe Satriani!

I just think he's a true master guitarist. He corabines the best of technical skill and speed with a true guitar feeling. It really is an extension of his body and you get the feeling he can make that thing make any sound he wants it to.

I realise this is more or less true for all these virtuosos, but I just think ol' Joe is a tiny step ahead of the competition.

Watch him play his excellent song "Satch Boogie" (from Surfing with the alien, excellent album by the way). He starts playing after a little guitar wanking for the crowd first.

It is awesome. Anyone who likes guitars must watch this. To the very end!

edit :

khfreek, I think I share some of your feelings regarding guitar virtuosos. I mean, speed and skill is not everything. I like it when you can hear that the guitarist really has a feeling for his instrument. There are so many guys who can play whatever really fast. For me personally, I put less and less value in that. I mean, if speed is all you like, you might as well just listen to Dragonforce ..

Okay, it's fast as **** knows, but I still don't like the sound of it that much.


(That video up there with the reverb playing probably sounRAB harder than it actually is, by the way. The reverb is playing half the notes! Nice tune, though.)

I voted Malmsteen, because I'm a douche and because of this:

I usually enjoy them a lot more than the G3 bunch.
