Slash is not a good guitar player....... even compared to people like Angus Young and such. Just sayin'......
This is about favorite guitar players, yes. So love him. They are legends, yes. So respect him. But Slash is not a good guitar player.

Well, they just get deeper into harmony, imo. When you get better, you stray away from pentatonic scales over I IV V progressions. And I am with you on this one, I don't like the super FX and shit. And I was talking more about "out there" in terms of harmony. I've never been a fan of tons of effects. I love real guitar playing real music. But, I was saying that Steve Vai can take the harmony "outside" and it can get intense. He can play melodically over really cool harmony, which makes for awesome sounds.

lol.. Slash is a guitar playing multi millionaire.. You're a mod on a gaming forum.. That makes Slash an outstanding guitar player...lol:rockon:
No, Slash sucks lol. And i don't think hes been a legend since like the late 80s :lol:
He hasn't don't much since then. I could be wrong. Was Velvet revovler really popular?
I guess he's a legend because everyone knows who he is. Probably more for his style than actual playing, but that seems to be the norm these days.

i dont know what you classify a guitarist but im personaly in favor of victor woten. i love his skills and i have had a couple lessons with him a very nice man
I classify good guitar players not only by their skills but also at their song writing and you can say what you want, but he's made some of the best solo's and bridges out there.
Short, simple, catchy lyrics and melodies. Good performances. The characters of the band are good (personality, style, trend setting...etc.).
If you want to REALLY get serious, we can pick apart slash's playing note for note, and we don't even have to talk about music theory or ANY of that bullshit.
It's okay to like a guitar player even if he isn't the best in the world. It's okay even if he's not good at all. People love Neil Young..... he's not good at guitar, lmao.
In reality, the best guitarists are probably completely unknown to the world. Gypsy kids raised in spain who are given a guitar when they are 3, and that's all they do for the rest of their lives. Probably the best players in the world. You really think some guy in a top hat with his guitar down past his knees playing pentatonic scales over one chord jams can out-do them? No. You can still like slash more, though. That's freedom of taste and expression, and I support that.
