Members JonR Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 Steve Kimock And Bill Frisell only gets mentioned once!? Oi vey.... Well, that's twice now. Bill Frisell Now it's 3 times! I always liked his treatment of Shenandoah: Not so much about melody specifically I guess - more ambience and sonority - but when the melody (or variations on it) does make appearances: gorgeous! He's like a chemist: extracting the essential active ingredients of the tune (as the original "natural compound") - the melodic intervals, the folk beauty - and then recreating them artificially in vast industrial quantities - spilling all over the place. Hey grab it folks, it's cheap, its free! So, the product gets a little contaminated with blues towards the end (5:40), but that's stuff's in the air and all over the factory floor anyhow, does no harm. Who'd have thought an old folk tune had so much in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Santuzzo Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 This is off an instructional DVD form Richard Smith, and in my opinion this is some amazing melodic soloing, so damn tasteful! [video=youtube;LRdy32tZW4Q] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fep Posted April 17, 2011 Members Share Posted April 17, 2011 You all have mentioned a lot of the players I was going to mention. It's hard to think of one that hasn't been mentioned... but I did. Carl Verheyen - the melodic playing I'm thinking of is at about 2:20 and then at about 4:30. I suggest you listen to it all to get it in context. (now if I can just figure out how to post a youtube video... ah ha I think I got it) http://youtu.be/EVSoDWxTaHU No that didn't seem to work... well you've got the link anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gschmittling Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Tommy Emmanuel. hord melodies helped me with a lot, but my listening has become so much better since I need to hear/sing the melody with it. The thing I always like about him as opposed to a lot of the big acoustic guys now, are his songs aren't complicated or technique oriented (though he has plenty to share), most of them could be a James Taylor song, he just has such feel and an incredible way to put the melody and the song first. That's something I highly admire about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zetor Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Tom Verlaine is a fantastic songwriter and lyricist but he can play very evocative leads too. His voice might be a dealbreaker for some, but listen to this gem: [video=youtube;kJAgd42HXKY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJAgd42HXKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Plekter77 Posted February 3, 2018 Members Share Posted February 3, 2018 In the melodic blues/jazz genre i can mention: Uffe Steen: Danish jazz and blues guitarist is extremely melodic, techical and versatile - and he plays with the strings reversed Derek Trucks: A wizard on the slide, very melodic soloing, and insane energy Pat Metheny: Great jazz guitarist, who also uses guitar synth a lot - and he does it very well. Also a brilliant composer and great on the acoustic! And all the guys have this in common: They really know how to build up a solo! And they are some of the best improvisers I've heard. Honorable mention: Mark Knopfler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
