Vai can get old but this is a great clip and Billy Sheehan is still the king.
Was the intent of this thread to be about TNation members who play guitar, or was it for hero worship?
Just wondering.

Sorry about that . I do play and guys who inspire me are something I like to share. I worship God not people. These guys are people who have had an impact on the way I play or try to. Talking about whats out there to people who play is great because it is an opportunity to maybe stumble on something you havenĆ¢??t heard before. My next clip will be myself playing to a cheesy backtrack I put together on my iMac.

Both - those that want to put up clips of them playing are welcome, and if you want to post clips of your favorite players go right ahead.
Vinnie Moore - awesome. Met him several times when I was working as a guitar teacher here in NY. Saw him at a couple industry seminars and went to a few of his clinics. Also saw Paul Gilbert (and met and chatted with him since I knew the Ibanez rep from the music store I taught from at the time) at a clinic in upstate NY, and also saw a couple Richie Kotzen clinics.
As for Sheehan (one of my favorite bassists) saw Mr. Big at Brooklyn Lamour back in the early 90ās and was 5 feet from the stage watching Billy do his solo on that awesome old Fender Precision he had. Great seeing them in a small club.

Very very impressive. Beautiful feel, great chops and awesome tone. Iāve seen quite a few asian/thai/filipino guitar players lately on youtube that are just amazing.
This guy is wildā¦
Skynett do you know a Long Island player named Anthony Bambino?

LOL - absolutely. Used to be in a band called Spoiled Brat. Mike Varney from guitar player magazine hooked me up with him in the 80ās. His band was coming from Connecticut to live and play here in NY, so I went to the house where they were renting and jammed with him. He was also in a band called Lights and Shadows with a great singer I know (actually went to HS with this vocalist). Heās a great guitar player.
Ha - small world! : )

No, donāt be sorry, I was honestly wondering. Itās cool either way, I just wanted to know 
Question for the players like Skynett and Steely and Tribulus and musclegym:
Do tracks like the one posted do anything for you guys? Seems like you all are really into the phrasing technicality and tone, which is something I donāt have an ear for (yet). I know thereās complicated transitions and moving through progressions and scales, and being able to do it with some spirit behind it (like Lynch and the Thai dude) is pretty awesome.
But thatās where I guess my ear āpalletteā is limited.
However, straight forward guitar parts like this King Bee song from the Stone Foxes is what I truly enjoy. Players like Jack White and Dan Auerbach is who I listen to most, and try to replicate when Iām noodling around in the den on my Wildkat. Am I digging this style more because itās what I can easily translate into my own playing? Or am I more of a bluesy dude?
Thanks in advance for the input.

Totally different style of playing - I like the main riff - down and dirty blues. But yea itās just a totally different style.
Iām basically into hard rock/neo-classical/fusion players, which requires a lot of technical skill, combined with feel (things like vibrato and such) and is very specific stylistically.
Maybe you just like blues players more. : )

Yeah I think thatās where Iām at.
I appreciate pickers like Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, and Junior Brown too, but White and Auerbach are my guys, at least for now.
Thanks for the input man

I grew up with just about every type of music in my house. My dad was an accomplished musician we listened to everything from jimmy smith to Alice Cooper, Bach to Blood Sweat and Tears. When guys like EV and Paul Gilbert and tech guys came I loved the speed and the style. As I have gotten older I think I have more appreciation for feel and passion. I still love blazing stuff but I can appreciate a pretty broad spectrum of styles. I was actually really getting into Modern Blue Grass a lot of fast picking and cool stuff. Variety is the spice!
Letās just hear from the master for a minute please. At the peak of their powers, live in Oakland California in 1981 on the Fair Warning tour. I love so many great hard rock players, but to me Ed is always the man!
A few things of note - :21 - those awesome spotlights with like 20,000 people going insane over that incredible intro. Talk about dramatic - that clean picked chord intro is simply amazing!
:44 - Those cool taps.
1:00 - speed picking on a single string up the scale. A signature Eddie moveā¦
1:57 - Insane 3 note fill that just kills. 3 fucking notes - he makes it sound incredible.
2:56 - That riff! And those cool fillsā¦and umā¦oh yea - the lead!!
Very cool seeing him live adding all those cool fills everywhere - not on the studio version.
Eddie will always be my favorite - thatās hard to say because I have a lot of influences that I love, but Edās the guy.

And his early sound was so full and big!!! Something up until eruption I had never heard before. Before Eddie I think one of the coolest heavy sounds with staying power was Tom Schultz of Boston. A lot of crunch but great sustain and clarity .
Oh hell yea - his sound is absolutely HUGE!! So authoritative and ballsy. Those hot-rodded Marshall heads!!
This is amazing - he plays sick shit all over this. Gotta love Diamond Dave āGot myself a brand new Oakland scarf right here!ā
Those awesome vamping chords at the beginning, and the lead is ridiculous of courseā¦and the ending heās playing crazy lines and just tearing it up big time. Love itā¦
On another note, does anyone here have a Boss GT-10 or similar Boss multi-effects processor?
I used to run mine directly into the computer via a 1/8" aux cable (like a headphone jack) and it came through my speakers beautifully. However i bought a new laptop recently and for some reason i cant get any sound when i run it this way, im trying to run it via USB instead but the sound gets absolutely destroyed, washed out, laggy and with tons of echo. Hopefully im just doing it wrong.
Anyone got any ideas? I hate running that thing through my amp because it has such beautiful tones and i dont want to tone from the amp ācontaminatingā the sound from the GT-10 at all.
