I have never enjoyed a note of Yngwie's playing....it's just \"not for me\" (but I do like some over the top shredders, Satch, Vai...so its not a \"style\" thing)
I can't stand Neil Shoen of Journey, the songs or the guitar playing....
And I've never cared for Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, his playing actually annoys me, and Vinnie Moore is a great player...I can not for the life of me listen to him though

Strangely enough, the only time I liked Schon, is when he played with Santana on Abraxis.

Lindsey's playing on Fleetwood Mac was spectacular. I watched a show about the making of Rumours and they played the tracks without vocals, and he was playing some of the best guitar work ever. He has a unique sense of composure.
The show about the making of 'Rumours' was a BBC/HBO production in their series 'Classic Albums' If you get the chance watch the one on 'Aja' by Steely Dan...and the one on the Band's self-titled album is also great,

That's a very good series. They show it on VH1 classic. I liked the one about Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Hysteria was pretty good too. The one on Dark Side was sort of a rehash, tho it's always neat to see those guys on TV.
I may be wrong about it being an HBO collaboration, but it was definitely started by the BBC. They did one on Apostrophe and Overnite Sensation by Zappa which I can't find. Anyone help? my email is musicformoney@gmail.com

Another one who never got beyond his start is Robert Cray. really fine blues git'rist, and his debut effort was excellent. Saw him live back then, he ripped.
But then he started putting out the same album over n over, and actually regressed as a git'rist. Sad. :?
Cray's problem was/is he didn't have a lot of \"fire\"....he needed \"more garlic\", some showmanship, a little enthusiasm....he could have garnered more of an audience then
how about guitarists that get amazing recognition,grace guitar magazines, are worshipped by millions,and have made millions.....................that are (IMHO) not worth the strings they pluck(ed)...........i vote................Jack White and Kurt Cobain :evil: :evil: :evil:

8) Nobody doesn't like Santana! All you guys sound like my son! He knows Everything about every guitar, amp, effect, guitarist, group etc. And can critique any 'n all of 'em Intelligently!! He can play rote \"mezmerized\" hot lix, by th' best of 'em, And don't Know how ta play ONE song All th' way thru! :? To paraphrase, \"He who Can, Does, And He who Can't, Teaches![Or throws rocks at those who Can and Do!] :P Even the most \"cliche\" or inexpert players, can come up with somethin' tasty ever' once in awhile, now 'n then! I didn't know that it was a contest. :shock: The pioneers of Blues/Rock certainly weren't th' hottest pickers in th' world, look at Chuck Berry, he played out 'o tune on so many of his early records, that I cringe at some of 'em, :? but, you can't deny, he led th' Movement! Back then, ya didn't have to be th' best, just Cool, an, Innovative! Hell, even Ol' Wildmann would'ev been an ACE, back then! The guitarists that Ian Doesn't Like to listen to , happen to be the Innovaters/Creators of thier particular genre, an I still hear stuff now, I missed the first thousand times I listened to 'em. 8) How's that grab ya Shredd? Low 'n Tite, Like a Pair 'O Pliers? [ Dykes that is!] :roll:
Did he just win the most unnecessary emoticons in one message award?
maybe here :? .....but i have seen a whole lot worse i belong to 3 other forums where i give tech advice(over 4000 posts :shock: ) and even I have been known to go \"emoticon happy\" once in a while :oops: but at least folks know where i am coming from forums are an education waiting to happen with occasional humor...............not poker :P :twisted:
Yeah, I know, Too bad they don't have the Frownie Face one that sez Sh--! :x [When ya get ta be my age, it's life's simpler amusements like th' Smileys--] Ya could use that one a lot! On a happier note, Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays! Whichever is th' most appropriate! 8) Hey! do any of you out there know how ta use th Smiley Central on th' toolbar?? :?
If Jerico had Electricity, Joshua would've blown down th' Walls with 'Strat's an' 'Super- Reverbs' [A Wildmann original! ]

You should check out Dreaming with Joe Lynn Turner. Some of his best playing is on that song.
