Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted March 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have no love for the stones I'm afraid. From what I've heard, him soloing for 40-60 minutes would be quite boring. Then again, so would listening to Keith Richards do the same. But seriously, I just don't get your love for this guy. Ooooh not love, but respect where MT is concerned and just maybe looking at the cast of that video may give you an idea?For me, when I want simple and tasteful it's Peter Green, and when I want my face removed then it's Gary Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burgess Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 He gets a sig Strat for the same reason he gets this thread, because people know his name. They sell. Sig guitars have nothing to do with how well someone plays. Has to do with how well known they are. It's a marketing strategy not an achievement award.

For me, when I want simple and tasteful it's Peter Green, and when I want my face removed then it's Gary Moore Not really. He's technically proficient, that's for sure. But his playing just lacks that 'fire'. He doesn't have that burning passion that I love. And he just doesn't seem to get dynamics neither, which are essential in blues. I respect him, but I honestly can't enjoy his playing.Soul is what it's all about for me, and imho he's lacking in that department. Same goes for Gary Moore, from time to time. He's got some great playing, and some massive wanking. Let's just hope he learns how to balance them out, I'd thoroughly enjoy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Green has no soul?You seriously cannot be serious?And Gary is getting pretty good at balancing and even plays clean sometimes these days....and on a Tele:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Gary is getting pretty good at balancing and even plays clean sometimes these days....and on a Tele:) What, no no no. MT, hasn't got any soul. Peter Green has more soul than can be contained inside one person without going insane. And, Gary is indeed doing that. The Tele is sexy as hell. I saw him playing it on this youtube clip, it was actually pretty tasty stuff. When Gary is able to tone down a little he can really shine.

Members Cephkiller Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for posting the GM video. I don't listen to him very often because every time I do, it just makes me want to sell all my gear out of frustration. IMO he has the perfect balance of feel and chops. Just awesome.

Members MoreGuitars Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I like Jimmy Vaughan and have no problem with him having a signature Strat. And its one of the better signature Strats, for that matter. JV's playing has soul.I was more surprised that Richie Sambora had a signature Strat (for awhile, I think it's been long discontinued), or for that matter, Tom Delonge. Not much of a Jimmy Vaughn fan, but I agree his signature strat is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GCDEF Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 SRV, knows that Jimmie could outplay him if he wanted to. I want some of what ever you're smoking. I've seen Jimmie with the Thunderbirds a few times, and seen some of his videos and heard most of his recordings. I've never heard anything that you can't hear done better at your local blues jam. Never. He's boring, uninspired and doesn't do anything you haven't heard done better by other 1,000 times before. I don't get the Jimmie love at all.

Members AndrewGG Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 JV is a fine player and a refreshing contrast to the endless stream of three-name SRV clones. If I never see another bloke with a battered sunburst strat and stupid hat it'll be too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 He's got soul, apparently. Too bad it doesn't make it too his fingers. That video posted on the first page sounds terrible. Really stilted picking, out of tune bends, and the same bending the sixth up to a painfully out of tune 7th over and over. That really reminds me of somebody who's been playing about 6 months and just learned the pentatonic blues scale last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why you'll probably never get what the blues is all about; what it isn't about is microtonal perfection and flawless precision. For that you have the likes of Steve Vai; soulless wankery.

Members Artslinger Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think many people get hung up over speed and precise lead playing. Listen to some of the old blues players live they are sloppy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members harold heckuba Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Check out any guitar forum, and there will be a huge portion who say JV cant play. Other than hair-metal guitarists such as CC DeVille, he has more detractors than anyone I have seen. There was a similar thread on TDPRI about a year ago, and many there questioned his popularity.
