Members ConfessorT Posted May 6, 2006 Members Share Posted May 6, 2006 James Murphy - his method of alternate picking and legato triplets is just downright nasty to pull off correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeathMonkey Posted May 6, 2006 Members Share Posted May 6, 2006 Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan. Not only do they have mad chops, but they have such specific "tricks" and feel to them, a very similar seat-of-your-pants raunchiness to some stuff, and a very polished swing to other stuff, that it is just impossible, although I try like hell - those two are why I own four teles. Danny Gatton's version of "In My Room" and Roy Buchanan's "The Messiah Will COme Again" are two of my benchmarks of feel. Jeff Beck also comes to mind. I have tried to cop some of that liquid laser feel of his, and failed miserably. His bending and trem bar stuff with those little filigrees he plays are just mindbending.

Members jayuubee16 Posted May 7, 2006 Members Share Posted May 7, 2006 Marty Friedman. Rusty Cooley. A lot of guys play fast as hell, but how many can do the 4 notes per string thing as fast as he does (and on a 8-string guitar)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JLeurck Posted May 7, 2006 Members Share Posted May 7, 2006 Tuck Andress (Tuck and Patti) is the greatest guitarist I've ever seen. Just one guy playing a clean-toned archtop behind an incredible old-school R and B/jazz singer. From the first tune, you just don't notice that there is no drums and bass to go with the guitar. He's playing ALL the parts. Incredible musician. I'll throw Paco de Lucia, Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel in there because of the incredible right hands they have. Hell, de Lucia can match McLaughlin and DiMeola note-for-note without even using a pick. That's pretty hard to cop, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members emodot Posted May 7, 2006 Members Share Posted May 7, 2006 Omar Rodriguez. Everything he plays has this rude, thick, .014 gauge strings sound to it, and he uses some utterly {censored}ed up chord voicings. That and the mathy, jagged playing style - I don't know how ANYONE could play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
