Dunno why when peeps pick favorite guitar work it's always the 'blooze' or hard rock stuff. I'm a big fan of led zep, but Jimmy Page did alot of pretty sharp session work in the mid-60s for beat bands of the era, some famous, some mostly unknown. There's a 2CD kicking about, 'Jimmy Page - Session man' or something which compliles alot of his pre-led zep material. Worth listening to if u like the Kinks, Who, etc., and if you like twangy 60s guitar and ur solos short and to the point.Requiel said:Jimmy Page pulled some amazing solos out live, check out live recordings of stormers like Rock and Roll or Whole lotta Love.
cHodAX said:Vilje, whilst I would be the first to admit that John Petrucci is extremely talented I totally have to disagree with the 'possibly the fastest guitarist ever' remark. I would place, Eddie V, Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai all slightly ahead purely on speed. Total Guitar magazine would also agree with me, if I remember rightly Vai was the fastest ever recorded playing a sustained 21 notes per second on 'The Riddle'. That said though it isn't all about speed anyway and I have alot of time for John Petrucci, would definatley be in my top 10 all-round great guitarists of all time.
cHodAX said:Total Guitar only has Malmsteen at 17 iirc, no idea where that number 28 comes from have you?<snip>
cHodAX said:That article doesn't even list Vai in the top 10 Seriously that is insane, how anyone can put people like The Great Kat or Buckethead (sloppy as fuck)in the top 10 is beyond me. Also you probably noticed that it is all opinion based unlike the Total Guitar which actually slowed down the recordings and measured, I will stick with the total guitar list but Petrucci really does deserve to be on that list too, I guess none of those lists are totally comprehensive.
