Another metro clip on youtube jammin out! hehe

Great playing, but not my thing. I'd like to hear the amps tone with some regular old blues stuff.

What I like about this clip, and this one:

Is that they show how these 1987 amps are just the most amazing beasts for Hard Rock. The opening chords on Yngwie2's clip are closer to Guns and Roses than any sound Slash's signature amp can produce!

Would be nice though to hear someone tearing out some Kossoff on one of these though. Not enough Kossoff-style clips on this forum.

+1!

This is why alot of guitar players never make it! I have heard way to many times from the general public (not Guitar players), that the only people who really enjoy a lightning fast lead and the blasting out of thousands of notes at once are other guitar players. The general listener wants to listen to stuff that can move their bodies too and enjoy with some rythmic dance. For example: The song "Sweet Leaf" By Black Sabbath. This is a perfect example. You can't help but rock back and forth to the rhythmn of that song. That is a hip hop beat for sure way before hip hope even existed. I have some rapper freinds that admit to me they they rip alot of their beats off old rock songs from the 60s and 70s and 80s. It's all about the rhythmn baby! Whether we guitar players like it or not. There are plenty of people on this forum and others that can play circles around Jimmy Page and Keith Richards and the Allmans and Santana and Toni Iommi and Clapton etc. as far as speed goes. But why aren't you famous? Cause it's all about the rythmn baby! Like it or not. This is not my opinion it is fact.

Agreed, but the world needs more 'Blues' players like a hole in the head at the moment. Go down to any Jam night these days and find people butchering the same old SRV, Hendrix and Clapton songs. YAWN.......

I think there is a place for slower tasty playing AND more technical stuff. My two favourite guitar players are Ed Van Halen and Jimmy Page. Poles apart. Both beautiful players!

There is always a place for slower more melodic playing,and slower playing dosen't have to necessarily be blues orientated,there are many other modes of playing.
Peter Green for example,his note choice,and expressive style of playing basically created Carlos Santana's whole lead style,Carlos often pays tribute to Peter for his influence,but Peter used a much more expressive way of playing,not relying on a overdriven Boogie type tone,as that did not exist then!
Steve Vai talking about his experiences on the Crossroads movie,stated that Ry Cooder was the best groove player he had ever heard and really learned a lot about timing from him.
Steve Vai by the way often dosen't get enough credit for his flexability,pardon the pun,but he can switch from so many styles at once and be in the pocket with them all,with virtually no blues playing at all in his arsenal.I love the soundtrack with Mick Jagger,from Performance,especially Memo from Turner,Ry is amazing on that LP.
It's great to be able to listen to all different kinds of players and not necessarily compare them all the time,that is a big mistake that we all have been guilty of at one time or another!
Groove and feel are as important component of great playing as speed and amount of notes played.Many pros say don't show everything you've got all at once in a solo.
The most memorable solos are the ones that have a sort of construction or composition,Jeff Beck always says to get in and out,with the least amount of trouble,when soloing!!
I always try to listen to as many diverse kinds of players as I can,as you learn a little something from them all.
The 50 watt Marshall amp,other than my JTM45 is the amp I have the least experience with,as I have never owned one before or played for any length of time with one.Maybe in the future I will find the 50 watt to be one of my new favorites,it's a good possibility!
