Members Tomkeen Posted July 31, 2009 Members Share Posted July 31, 2009 I know, I know.. Keyboardists don't usually like guitarists. Their ego's are to big, the play WAY to loud, they overplay and get all the attention from the chicks.. Those, imo, are mainly the guitarists in mine and your neighbourhoods. They might gig here and there, but will likely make it to the top. There are good ones out there though. Though it sometimes is hard to believe, some of them actually try to play what's good for the music, listen to other people in the band and don't mind if the keyboardplayer or maybe even bass player do a solo instead of them. Guys like this: [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Great player, great chops, tasty as {censored}. Guys like Steve Lukather, Roine Stolt, Neal Schon etc etc... I love 'em What are you're favorite guitarists?

Members girevik Posted July 31, 2009 Members Share Posted July 31, 2009 Oh, I missed the part about "who are your favorite guitarists?". I somehow thought the question was "Which guitarists play well with keyboard players (as in not too damn loud or overbearing)?". Favorite guitarists: Pat MethenyAllan HoldsworthDavid TornAndy McKeeKaki KingFred FrithHans ReichelYamandu CostaD'GaryBoth guys in Radiohead (Ed plays about as many lead guitar parts as Johnny these days)Terje RypdalRafael and Raimundo Amador - flamenco bad boys (apparently playing blues licks on distorted electric guitar instead of sticking to acoustic all the time qualifies you as a "bad boy" in the flamenco world)Nels ClineEric JohnsonJonsiJimi!!! Of the above, I've heard Holdsworth, Rypdal, Metheny, Ed O'Brien, Frith, Torn, and King play well with keyboard players. Of the above, Johnson and Greenwood also play keyboards.

Members Eth Posted July 31, 2009 Members Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm a guitarist and vocalist primarily myself, and composing heavily guitar-oriented music tends to bore me to the grave, plus everyone and their pet halibut play the guitar. That's why I started playing additional plucked and bowed string instruments, woodwinds, ethnic percussion... and of course keyboards aswell, as I've always been drawn towards instruments such as the hammond, the pipe organ, the continental, the harpsichord, the minimoog and so on. I really do appreciate a great fat analog synth solo in particular, although it feels as if it's easier to "express" myself playing the guitar. I work as a solo performer (well, solo, I tend to use semi-orchestral arrangements) and I play in a bunch of bands, encompassing fusion, prog, folk, electronica, baroque-ish pop, experimental and whatnot, and although I'm officially a guitarist in almost any given constallation, I do realize the importance of sonic versatility, and tend to encourage the others to play solos aswell. Most guitar players are so clich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Son of HuHefner Posted July 31, 2009 Members Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wow, never actually heard Wichita Lineman. Just heard it from a KLF reference. thanks for sharing that, made my day. I was tongue in cheek with Glen Campbell But it is a well written melodic tune from 1968. the arrangement is a touch syrupy but that can be changed. When I was in Maui a few years ago , I jammed out the changes and melody on piano. Good for the repertoire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tomkeen Posted August 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2009 I was just driving in my car, and Extraction played on my ipod, so I have to add Greg Howe for awesomeness.
