Members CarmenJuandeago Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 it seems that most rock guitarists derive most of their flashy playing from mostly legato blues licks ala hendrix..... so what are some rock (not metal, not shred) guitarists that have fast sections of alt picking in their playing?

Members tlbonehead Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 I thought we all did, slow or fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fullmetalguitar Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Paul Gilbert I was going to mention Paul, but the OP said not shredders, although a lot of Paul's solo stuff is not shred, and his stuff with Mr. Big is not shred either.

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Michael Schenker is a great example of a good ol' melodic hard rocker who can pick like a mad man when the mood strikes him. "Mother Mary", about three minutes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlaCwBSIdA0 This was in 1975, so it was quite blistering for its time.

Members Willyguitar Posted July 9, 2010 Members Share Posted July 9, 2010 Here's a guy who does it in my home town. Last time I posted him up, he was slagged off by the multitude of players on here who are much better than him... [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] fast picking from around 3.35 mins: [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] And here's his really rubbish rhythm section.
