I think Vai uses standard tuning.. not wussy drop tuning.. so yeah he could.. Youd swear he drop tunes though when he doesnt.

This sounds like a banjo solo gone bad to me.. why is it guys like this and roy clark continue to make a guitar sound like a banjo?

another infant?
No.. in fact Id say Vai stole some of this.. but he still does it ALL.. THATS THE DIFFERENCE... There is NOTHING anyone has done that Vai has not including this technique.

EDIT: who is this? Very good stuff.. funny.. he has to be self taught as well.. he does not play correctly (neither does vai).. interesting.

"play correctly"? That phrase leads me to believe that you are much more steeped in technical aspects rather than artistic. Also, your criteria stated early indicates that as well.

The person in question is Tommy Emmanuel. He is nothing short of amazing, not only because of his technique but mostly because of his feel and approach.

Vai is certainly one of the greatest guitar technicians of our (or any) time. But I think he falls short wrt aesthetic and artistry. There is a reason Zappa referred to him as playing "stunt guitar."

"wussy drop tuning"?

You have a very narrow mind...perhaps broaden your horizons a bit. While it is fine to have opinions about style and strong preferences, dismissing drop tuning on guitar is like saying anything other than a V8 in a car is "wussy."

Tommy Emmanuel is very well known in the guitar community. I doubt very much that Vai could touch this style as well.

This is Lenny Breau...the best guitarist most people never heard of

Lenny is crazy good.

The older I get the more I'm into the smooth jazz stylings of Wes Montgomery.
He does it all with his THUMB! I guess he used to freak people by touching his wrist with it. Whatever... sounds so cool it absorbs freezer odors.

I'm not even beginning to infer this guy is the best ever, far from it. But he does have a very interesting and unique style (BTW this was filmed in 1989, which explains the hair do):

I'm digging this. Thanks for the link, ScoTT. :cool:

I am also in "there is no best" camp.

But I will throw out Duane Allman as a pretty darn good guitar player.

I am also not all that impressed with the shredders (oh sure when I was young I got all wrapped up in the Vai Vs Satriani Vs that guy who's name starts with Y that I can't pronounce Vs etc, etc,) IMHO Eddie Van Halen was the best at that style, he can play at ten thousand notes a minute and still put feeling into it.

Yes, I love Wes Montgomery too....especially when they didnt put those awful horn arrangements behind him....which they did to try and sell more records.


Did you know that Lenny Breau's murder is still unsolved? someone drown him in a swimming pool in LA in 1984

nostatic 12-20-2008 04:24 PM
If you want to go earlier than Wes or Grant Green, you often end up at Charlie Christian:

And Django still slays me...

Someone in the house behind me is having a party with a live band playing some blues...they are not bad, a little out of tune but the guitarist has some chops and plays with feel. Maybe he is the best ever....

Buckterrier 01-11-2009 05:29 AM
Anyone mention Stve Stevens, Billy Idol's guitarist? I'm sure he's not the best ever but certainly a very talented guitar player...
