who is the fastetst and most melodic guitarist ever

^^^hehehehehe

 

^^ Teehee (thats the English way of expressing Indian "heehee")

Nah but seriosly, voilin and piano player score over guitarists coz of the formal lessons taken by them.

 

hehe. i wanted to close this thread but a lot of beginners want to discuss the same thing, so meh.

:beer:

 

When did I say they can play chords?
I said they can play the 5th caprice.

 

No. they score over rock/metal guitarists for that reason. Classical and jazz guitarists have an equally rigorous training. Even the shred guitar players have formal training...Satriani went to Joe Pass and Petrucci went to Berklee.They are usually reasonably well-rounded musicians and listen to a variety of stuff. It's the listening audience who makes demi-gods of them and thinks there are no other musicians with such speed or finesse anywhere else, which is not the case.

 

Brilliant. I love you!

 

Thats not a valid excuse. Guitar players can also take formal training and many do.

 

Correct Abhi.

But Dennis, all that is not required.
I can just play some power chords and off I go into Nu-metal land.

I can play same old scales up n down the fretboard, I venture to shredder's land.


Why should I really bother to understand while playing?
When the audience is not bothered?

 

^Talking bout audience .. do u think they're bothered if a violin or piano is playin without understanding?

EDIT: n Ya .. Fast and Melodic have a world of a difference between them!

 

Fast is easy to define

define melody

 

yeah i am a new member to igt thats for sure and i dont know whether this topic hasbeen discussed before...or for how many times and i am sorry to start the same topic...and regrading guitar i havebeen playing for 12 years from the age of 9 so i know a bit and I AM DEFINITELY NOT A BEGINNER...may not KNOW as much as u people do...but still i know sumthing..sorry for using up space..actually i like shredding and thats my passion and can play upto only 23 notes per second...i havebeen trying but i cant get any more than that...may be one day my name will come among these people hehehe kidding!!!!sorry guys for making u people say the same thing over and over again..i think this thread should be stopped and hope u people start a new topic i can express my comments...thanks.....

 

Usually the audience that is actually listening to a song that has a situation where there is a violin involved are much more musically educated than the average rock concert goer. Usually. Not that it means they are bound to understand what they're playing. I go to a few concerts now and then and am usually feeling horribly out of place. I'll hear some notes and say "wow, that's pretty" and people around me will give me severe stares and make me feel small.



Not really related to topic: I've been getting into Robin Ford and think he's a greek God. Can someone give me song/album reccomendations>?

who is robin ford?

 

Firstly.. Speed Kills... kills the melody! But we do have some people who manage to save the melodies. John Petrucci for example, and Buckethead in his sane days!! And Satriani Sucks??? Would that be in a parallel universe?

 

Yeah, in this universe any opinion different from mine is not allowed. (because it doesnt make any logical sense)

 

Hahaha, i see great potential in you

 

what was your opinion cuz i'm confused.. you're pro-Satriani or anti-satriani???

 

NO HE DOES NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rotest::cen:

 

joe sucks....upssiieeeeeeeee..
