Members BoneNut Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 There's a guy around here, Aldo 76 or 67... something like that, who has really nice chops. Also another whose screen name I don't remember, his avatar is a 335 on the balcony of a NYC apartment. He can make it sing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm just messing with billy because he constantly gives me static about being a Rose fan. No harm intended.And fwiw, I think this thread was a great idea. It's great to know that people actually check out fellow forumite's stuff. I have no issue with you either mate, just stirring the pot. Your mate plays well too. Too many people are way to serious around here. Life is too short not to have fun. Personally, I love it when people have a go at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Willyguitar Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 I find it impossible to compare playing ability, and I am not sure it is always the most important trait for a guitarist, although it is necessary to be good enough. More significantly, JKater and Mistersully are very generous in sharing stuff and trying out ideas, which is probably more significant. Many really 'great' players, according to popular opinion, I can't listen to for more than a few seconds. On the other hand, the ability to write and record/perform songs that I enjoy or move me in some way is much more significant for me. Not yet mentioned in this respect, and the one person who has impressed me most with his songwriting on HCEG is mrbrown49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Indeed! I'm sure a lot of people on this board have not heard his playing. Terrific chops.Many of my favorite players in HCEG: MHUK, JJ, Frets, MrSully, GreatDane and others are well known here (I reckon) but who knows? Maybe they still fly under some folks' radar.A most excellent thread is JJ's EPIC thread: "I want to hear you play". It should be made a sticky as it provides a great place to check out people's (audible) stuff. thank you for the mention, Jkater! you are TOO kind.

Members riffy Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 me too. You guys are just WAY too kind. I am honestly just a freakin' hack. I just really enjoy playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deadbeat Son Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I agree, Riffy is quite the monster, but I don't think of him as under the radar. Quite the contrary, I think all of the feedback here proves he's on a lot of folks' radar! I really enjoy twotimingpete's playing. He doesn't seem to be a virtuoso from his clips, but I really like his style, and he's a good songwriter too.

Members Surrealistic Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 im sure there are a bunch of good players who fly way under the radar.. Mark UK... is amazing.. kinda wish he would post up some stuff more often.. David MGT.. another cat who really seems to have a bunch of creative stuff going.. Surrealistic.. Gravedigger something.... dont remember but the cat can play... oh. heck... just lots and lots.. in my silly "let me hear your" links bunch of those cats seem to really have a cool groove.. Only just seen this. Thanks Scuzzo - I didn't expect a mention in this thread, especially when there's so many really good guitarists here.

Members metallica_00 Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Maltomario and Metallica_00 come to mind as do Baxandall , Aliensporebomb and IESO. Appreciate the mention - just a hobbyist like many of us so it's always cool that people are listening! I haven't been posting clips/recording very frequently these days and to get back into the habit of doing it. Many players on here I like - quite a few of them are in this thread!

Members photon9 Posted October 8, 2011 Members Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think most people around here are because the clips posts always drop like flies and rarely get past one page. I admit I'm guilty of not always listening to them, or commenting. Sorry. Though a lot of times when I do actually try it doesn't load because my computer's a POS. It's just a lot easier to look at pics of pretty guitars. Sure I'm missing out on some great guitar playing. I'll try to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mistersully Posted October 8, 2011 Members Share Posted October 8, 2011 thanks for the mentions guys my favourite players here don't really go under the radar... except for maybe Willyguitar who has a great sense of melody i agree about mrbrown's songs... goos stuff i think it was o.versteer(or whatever his name is ) that posted a slide clip recently that i dug the hell out of i've heard some cool music from roygbiv too i don't consider him under the radar but if i'd love to spend some time in a studio with JJ... he's a creative dude with a tonne of soul... i'm a fan of his singing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Willyguitar Posted October 8, 2011 Members Share Posted October 8, 2011 Do you have a link to some of Will's stuff, Dave? Thanks! Hi Richard - I used to have some uploaded to soundclick, but stripped them all off for re-recording etc. I haven't got around to that at all yet, but could send you links to them again if you want. Have also PMed you. Actually, Mistersully is far too kind here! I sent him a cd of stuff because he was interested, but although some of the tunes are fine, I am a little bit shy about some of them... partly because the execution is somewhat lacking!!

Members Scott Abene Posted October 8, 2011 Members Share Posted October 8, 2011 twotimingpete understands how to layer a tune in my opinion. He also knows when not to play. I have always enjoyed the stuff that I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear your music. Getting props from Mrsully is quite a compliment. We're all a little underwhelmed by our own music. Nice to have a place like this board to get feedback or simply share. From what I sense of your very good insights into music from your posts, I can only imagine your music to be tasteful and worth a good listen. As far as "execution", you said it best: it's not about how acrobatic the playing is but how it moves people or speaks to them. I envy people who can arrange / produce a nice song (mrsully, cobalt, mrbrown). I hope to develop this skills at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you mean MikeSF. Have you checked out his photography website? He's even more busy with photography than music these days. A talent the like we don't see often.

Yes - someone mentioned Rocklobster- he was a truly talented player. As is (he's never much here) MetalheadUK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
