    I'll post what I want, mom.

    but honestly, Trey's good for jamming and that's about it. and honestly, he's better than most mainstream artists, but there are just too many that are better than him.

    Boy.

    I'm sick, too, so I feel for them.

    I hope they get better soon.

    Trey is amazing, and probably one of the best current guitarists out there. Mind you, I can't stand speed guitarists (Yngwie, ect.). Although, the best current guitarist is Warren Haynes.
    speed isnt everthing...

    Amen. I'm sick of hearing all these 'Well he can go faster than him, or he can't go fast, so he fucking sucks'. Go tell that to David Gilmour. Or, I suppose Jimmy Page, or Eric Clapton, or Jimi Hendrix couldn't go that fast, so they're not as good as Yngwie, huh?

    When you talk about an all-round rock guitarist you have to consider them as a rhythm player as well as someone who can stretch-finger, two-hand-tap, string-skip and wash the dishes at the same time. You also have to think, well, okay, they play at 384305435089426709586735096837 miles an hour on some Slominsky tritonal scalar workout, but are they inventive with the notes or are they just running up and down the neck? And can they syncopate a rhythm? Do they get your toes tapping with their finger tapping?

    And Hendrix could pay like lightning when he wanted, not just in chromatically embellished minor pentatonics but in the Phrygian mode also.

    Phrygian is not all that impressive in and of itself. It's just the major scale offsetting the root by 1 note.

    And to back up the original post: Trey is one of the best out there for sure. I think he has let himself get sloppy over the past 5 years or so, but when he's on he's just insane.

    I started back in Oct/Nov of last year and I gotta tell ya...it's the best thing I could have done. I can't even begin to tell you how much I have soaked in so far.

    i'm guessing one on one lessons?

    i'm trying to get up the courage to do it but i'm so tentative about my abilities that it's difficult for me to even think of doing.

    but i know i need to.

    Yes, 1 on 1 for a half hour each week...costs me $20. We are still in the process of filling in my knowledge gaps, but occassionally we touch on some more advanced topics. Take my advice and just suck it up and go!

    yes. i got a few names a while back. i should probably make some calls.

    back to the whole great guitarist thing, i have no idea. all i know is that speed for speed's sake doesn't interest me. i'm more interested in tones and textures.

    I can appreciate both. I love a good David Gilmour solo, where he does more with 1 note than most people can do with 50.

    But I also appreciate the techincal aspects of an incredible shred solo. Some do it just for the sake of showing off, but I think there are some technically sick players who have a good amount of feel. I think Satriani unjustly gets lumped in with some of the "solo for the sake of showing of" guys like Malmsteen. I think some of Satriani's stuff, even when he is flying across the fretboard, is very easy to listen to. He writes songs, not just solos.

    I think Trey is another great example. That man can play something fierce, but when he does it you just get sucked in. The whole band does it. All of the sudden you realize you're just flying with them. They take you on a journey and when the jam ends you wonder what the hell just happened.

    i actually don't listen to any of the above so i'm out of my depth. you're right though about speed when it's used as more than showing off.
  • Pacomc79Pacomc79 Posts: 9,404
    Well that settles it BF thanks. Right after Radio/TV/Protools/Final Cut Pro/ Cool Edit etc classes that I'm in now, I'll start lessons. I need them. I need to branch out. I understand it all I know what it is I just need to put the terminology with it and meld it together more effectivesly. 1/2 hour a week is perfect. I can pick up a lot in that amount of time I think.
