My list of guitarist that I considered worth mentioning part 2

ok..to spare the readers some agony of scrolling down to read the updates, I will now post the updates of the above topic as a new post.

and now to continue from where I left off...

7. Slash (Sl), (Guns and Roses, Snakepit, Velvet Revolver) - More Jack Daniels...

This is one true freak gone cool. Erm..where do I start? Ok, I think it's fair for me to say that he rose to stardom in both the pop and rock world at a time where people were paying attention to the thunders of Metallica, the aderalin of Malmsteen, the tappping of Van Halen. Slash (with Guns and Roses) and his infamous Les Paul, plays base hugely pentatonic and blues scale with the occasional Gypsy -Phygrian mode. It's remarkable how he can be so melodic with only the basics in scaling and gears. These did not compromise the standard of music and energy that metal or rock music has. Although he may be a blusey and "few-notes a bar" player, he is capable of very fast licks as well. One word..he Rocks and drunk!..

Well listen to tracks such as "Estranged", "Patience", "Double Talking Jive", "Welcome to the Jungle" and the latest from his band, Velvet Revolver, "Contraband".

8. Frank Gambale (FG), (soloist) - Jazz Shred from Aussieland

Influenced by blues based players such as Jimi Hendrix , John Mayall / Eric Clapton, and Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, FG picks up the guitar at the tender young age of 7 . In his mid-teens he discovered Steely Dan, The Brecker Brothers and Chick Corea. FG is shred in a Jazz shell. He plays many notes and is with a romantic and jazzy feel. His shred is fluid and unlike many jazz players, he is "poppy" at times. He is also one good video instructor. Check out his instrutional video "Modes - Mystery No More" and some of his instructional books. Albums to start with are : "Thunder from Down Under" and "Brave New Guitar".
