Members RockNote Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Who's got it? For me, Santana. But this is a new approach for me, so there may be many in this category that I've never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Volitan Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Prince. Not surprisingly, he style is pretty close to Santana. Listen to his solo on "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to his solo on "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" Thanks. Good call. Never heard that before. Very like Santana, that's true.

Members larry50 Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 I don't know about happy, but for uplifting I would choose David Gilmour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockNote Posted June 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 I don't know about happy, but for uplifting I would choose David Gilmour. I love Gilmour. However Pink Floyd has always struck me as so very depressing - as if their main source of inspiration came from mental illness. Personally, I have a hard time seeing Gilmour in this context.

Members Shenaniganizer Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 The Doobie Brothers. +1 for Santana. Smooth is stuck in my head all the damn time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 i've always thought eric johnson had the most uplifting style and tone. joe satriani as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Charley_5054 Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 For me, The Edge does the trick everytime with his signature delay and chime. The intro to Where The Streets Have No Name, especially live versions, is the definition of uplifting ! Well to me at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Otis McGonigle Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 i've always thought eric johnson had the most uplifting style and tone. joe satriani as well. I was thinking EJ also. Satriani can be pretty happy and uplifting, too. I saw Satriani live and was very impressed. I wasn`t too sure about watching someone play guitar for a couple of hours and I`m a guitar geek. My buddy and my brother were with me and neither of them are players, so I was concerned that they would be put off by all that wanking. HA! Boy was I wrong, we all agreed that it went by too fast. Just stunning. Best part was we all got to meet Joe after the show. Seemed like a good natured fellow, very nice and funny in an off-beat sort of way.

Members jelloman Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 +1 on the Doobies... ..also, Whenever Warren Haynes plugs a guitar into an amp, it's ALWAYS uplifting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 i would love to meet satch. seems like a cool dude, in that slightly akward sort of way. i love his note choice and the way he approaches guitar. he plays like he loves playing for the sake of playing. that's what separates him in my mind from his 'peers'; they seem to require the acceptance of others to a larger degree. he seems quite content primarily just making music.

Members Bizze Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Check out Hendrix - My friend (album version is best imo).. That song just always lifts me up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ehedwr Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 For me Steve Hillage fits the description perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members richey888 Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Check out Bill Nelson, Be-Bob Deluxe era. Always puts a smile on the ol' sourpuss. Live! In The Air Age contains some of the best, uplifting soloing ever. For the uninitiated definitely check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members humbuckerstrat Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 Amybody remember Ricky Byrd, Joan Jett's lead guitarist on her first solo album? I loved his guitar playing on I Love Rock 'n Roll, his solo saved that song for me, and probably the whole album. Very thick and crunchy tone.

Members thecornman Posted June 7, 2009 Members Share Posted June 7, 2009 For me as of late it would be Derek Trucks, but I would agree that both Santana and the Doobie Brothers are inspiring as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
