My list of guitarist that I considered worth mentioning final part
I have deicided to give a summary of guitarists instead of given too much details which is taking up too much time and most prob you are bored from reading about the same topic again and again. ..Oh..before I forget, some of this may not be any Rock star or anything like that...they might be sessionist or they may even be the person living next to you.. here's the list..take your time and make an attempt to explore on your own...
1. Chris Degarmo (Queensyche, soloist) - Responsible for hits like Silent Lucidity, Best I Can, Revolution Calling.
2. Steve Vai (soloist) - Need no further mention...his God from the other dimension.
3. Joe Satriani (soloist) - Mastero too...teacher of Vai
4. Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield (Metallica) - perfect partners in crime.
5. Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Janick Gers (Iron Maiden) - Come on...do I need to tell you?
6. Dave "Snake" Sabo, Scotti Hill (Skid Row) - Check out 18 and Life, Youth Gone Wild 80s classic hair band.
7. Marty Friedman (Megadeth, Cacohpony, Soloist) - exotic with speed, and a funny guitar picking method.
8. Al Di Meola (solist) - Jazz underated Phygrian wizard
9. Kitaro (New Age composer) - yeah go ahead...laugh..but before you do that, go check out the "one note, full fill" kinda of playing in albums such as Kojiki
10. Kane Roberts (Sessionist, Soloist) - erm..he is from the 80s too, had a commercial hit, but was more famous with Alice Cooper in his "Trash" era.
11. Guitarists from the band at pub Insonmia, at Chijmes, Singapore - they play covers but are well as a pair and input their imprivsation into songs likw Sweet Child O' Mine etc..imagine Malmsteen mutated with Slash's genes...kekeek flexible, R n B, Rock , Pop they got it all..no metal shit though...
12. Peter Green (soloist) - Blues' groovy madman...
13. the editorial team at Guitar Techinques, Guitar Player and Total Guitar mags - go check the mags out..then you will see what I mean.
14. Wolf Marshall - one of the better guitar instructional book/video players/instructor
15. Prince (Soloist) - erm..once known also as the Symbol..anyway, plays killer and funky style, multi-instrumentalist
16. Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) - Not a difficult player, but damn good song writer and he did and still does just enough for the music in Bon Jovi...
17. Richie Blackomre (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore's Night) - Before Malmsteen, there was...Now he has gone Middle Ages...
18. Jimmy Page (Led Zepplin) - hey..another no need to mention..you already know....
19. Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) - Godfather of Metal.....
20. Jackson 5 - I don't know the name of the guitarist is, but he has got groovy tunes
21. A. Serg0via - Classical legend...
22. Taregga - classical guitarist and composer, he is no longer around, but his pieces are now standards for classical guitar
23. Julian Bream - another classical legend...
24. Heitor Villa-Lobos - u want to perfect your techniques, play his pieces
25. Joe Pass - Jazz great
26. B. B. King - don't tell me you don't know!!!
27. John Lee Hooker - Blues Blues...
28. Jessie Cooke - New age guitarist, this is a new genre that I started exploring a couple of years ago and this is one guy that took me off...
29. Ernest Kwok - one of Singapore's finest classial guitarist, pity he don't play electric/pop, his tone and speed are superb
30. Roland Graprow (Helloween) - neo-classical player
31. Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) - power metal with a fantasy feel....
32. Neil X (Sigue Sigue Sputnik) - no talent? only one word...SPACE....
33. Ace Frehely (Kiss, Frehely's Comet) - simple leads, smoking guitars
34.Jeff Beck - plays with the trend..reinventive
35. Gary Moore (soloist, Thin Lizzy) - still got the blues...
36. Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) - where's metallica? great rhythm and lead player, not forgetting composing.
37. John Petrucci (Dream Theatrer) - his name speaks for himself...
38. Dave Edmund - Neo-classical is not born yet, but he had traces of it...
the list goes on...
That's not all, but for this moment that's all I can share from my immediate memory bank. Keep exploring all over, you will never know what you will find. There're many styles of playing such as Bluegrass, Folk, Indie and even dance music etc...Do not narrow yourself down and you will find tons of good players around and they may not be Stars or Metal heads...I am still learning..... volume and complication in not everything in music...
happy exploring...
