Hey Guys, I was thinking about all of us sharing our opinions of who's got the best technique (in our opinions) for different categories like picking, sweeping, tapping, legato etc.. and any more you can think of.
It doesn't necessarily have to be the cleanest, fastest or most technically proficient.. it's just what you think is the best and like to hear, ok ? I'll start off. Alternate Picking - John McLaughlin Here's why: So relaxed, comes from out of nowhere, ultra fast bursts, the ultimate picking technique to aspire to in my opinion. Sweep Picking - Michael Angelo Batio He makes it look so easy and it's so perfect ! Legato - Joe Satriani I'll leave it there. Please share some of your ideas and suggestions  -------------------- |

Sadly I'ma have to be the one to say this...
 That about does it all for me in a 1:19m shred, but I'd say I still think Jason Becker had the best sweeps. -------------------- Guitar:
Ibanez RGD 2127z (Invisible Shadow), Ibanez S770PB (Natural Flat) Gear: Kemper Profiling Amp , Alto TS115A. My YouTube Page. |

As much as I love Jason, I am going to have to give Sweeping Credit to Shane Gibson. Because he and Rusty Cooley need to duke it out to see who can sweep better. Shane Gibson- Emo Village Pillage This guy is the world's fastest guitarist. His name is John Taylor. On a completely unrelated note if you want to hear Joe from Family Guy, 5:56-6:03.

Cool stuff, guys
Don't forget to put the technique by the guitarist's name so we know what you're putting them up for

I don't think there's such thing as "best", but here are my favorites, from the music I listen to.
They're not necessarily the fastest in their technique, but IMHO they show the best use of technique (best to listen to, for me at least): Alternate picking - Paul Gilbert Sweeping - Yngwie Malmsteen Legato - Joe Satriani Bends - Gary Moore Vibrato - Steve Vai Chicken picking - Albert Lee Fingerstyle - Tommy Emmanuel Pinch harmonics - Zakk Wylde Natural harmonics - Antoine Dufour Whammy bar harmonics - Joe Satriani Downstrokes - James Hetfield Riffing - Ritchie Blackmore Odd-time riffing - John Petrucci Guitar noise (  ) - Matthew BellamyAnd since I put so many categories, I have to add the ultimate champion of the special technique, which is called... well, just watch the video This post has been edited by Dinaga: Apr 25 2012, 02:15 PM -------------------- |
