Gnar Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 My first thought when I see that guitar is one of all those 100 million boring, monotone metal guitarist who shred their asses off with absolutely no soul. By that, I mean that soul makes a great guitarist. Neil Young for example. He don't play no fast stuff, yet he's one of the best guitarists ever.

GNR'R Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 A good guitarist is made up of many things; impact, influence, creativity, versatility,originality and technical skill. But out of those two, emotion does it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 emotion and speedAkA THIS:clicky Sooo bad. Do you seriously like that?? sooo good.HOW CAN YOU SEIOUSLY NOT LIKE THAT!?To be honest I find that pretty awful too Where's the emotion there?And ha I definitely don't think speed has anything to do with being a good guitarist, anybody can play something really fast and make it sound like that guy. To me it's emotion and originality really.I like it when people just play from their heart and get whatever out of it.That way it sounds way more real and also, in my opinion, a hundred times better And acid.Acid's good.It really affects you.

HANGMAN Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You need skill AND emotionBut emotion is more important, because skill WITHOUT emotion sounds like shit.

My speakers work now I disagree, listen to Neil Young.I understood it as:"He's only been playing for two days." "But he can't play chords or hold the pick?!""But he sure can play a bend or two!!"Get me? It's my interpretation of what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My speakers work now I disagree, listen to Neil Young.Yeah. Neil can play a solo with just one tone, and yet express more emotion and sheer rock n' roll than 99.99 percent of all other guitarists. He is a proof that you don't have to be technically skilled to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
