GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Famous Instructor Request!
Posted by: Brother Woodrow Mar 6 2008, 10:13 PM
It's a great honour for us GMC members that a famous guitar player like Marcus has become our new instructor! I am also grateful for our 'old' great instructors and I do not forget what they did and do for us! But maybe you think of a well-known guitar player that you would like so much to see as an instructor on GMC? For me it would be Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys! Kris, please lead him to the GMC!

James Hetfield, Slash, Marty Friedman

How about John Petrucci or Adam Jones!!!!
Posted by: Tjchep Mar 6 2008, 10:16 PM
Andy Timmons..

Paul Gilbert

Oh wait, I can't forget Yngwie Malmsteen.
I don't think he is much of a people's person though if you know his history.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 6 2008, 10:22 PM
two of those are possible, the other would just ignore you.
Edit: +1 for Dan Auerbach, i love the black keys!
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 6 2008, 10:25 PM
Emppu from Nightwish! Haha no way man... 
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 10:26 PM
Yeah, I do think Marty Friedman would be great. I know he has done many instructional guitar related products. Most of which he has done since reciding in Japan though.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 6 2008, 10:28 PM
marty is awesome. james hetfield has never played anything that ive ever found challenging though.
Posted by: Robin Mar 6 2008, 10:29 PM
Definitely Bjørn Berge. Exactly one of the styles GMC is missing.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 6 2008, 10:30 PM
+10000000

James Hetfield is actually a very good guitarist. He has written most of Metallica's music. He could shred if he really wanted to.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 6 2008, 10:34 PM
james hetfeild is capable of; power chord-chug-e string, repeat, ive never seen him do ANYTHING special. after 2 years of playing, i can play anything he has written. anyway back on topic, my vote goes to blues-rock legend Robin Trower, an amazing guitarist and songwriter with a style all his own.
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 10:36 PM
It may not be what he plays on albums but he is pretty good if he is capable of writing a lot of the solos Kirk happens to play. But anyways, yeah back on topic.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Mar 6 2008, 10:37 PM
if thats true, then im mildly impressed. and that doesent happen often.
Posted by: Tuubsu Mar 6 2008, 10:37 PM
I don't know why but, I would find this somehow greedy....
But my vote would go to Marty Friedman
Posted by: Smikey2006 Mar 6 2008, 10:38 PM
Gus G(firewind/dream evil), Joe Duplantier and Mario Duplantier(Gojira) or Fredrik Thordendal ( Meshuggah)
Posted by: PolackHax0r Mar 6 2008, 10:43 PM
SLASH!! and EVH!! (Kris, do what you gotta do!!! )
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 10:43 PM
HAHA
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 10:43 PM
Gus G...how could I forget?!?!
Posted by: Juan M. Valero Mar 6 2008, 11:31 PM
I think he best instructor would be Guthrie Govan, he can play very different styles !!! love this player
BTW Victor Smolski, Matthias IA Ekund, Rusty Cooley or John Petrucci would be awesome 
(Don't mention Vai, Sath, Gilbert, kotzen, Friedman, Malmsteen...)

Yes...I've been waiting for somebody to agree with me on John Petrucci.
Posted by: SinoMan Mar 6 2008, 11:35 PM
No one listens to Nightwish in here =\
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 11:36 PM
Nightwish is sick!
John Petrucci and Adam Jones still top my list though.

Uncreaters list would be like 238945723847523845 pages long if completed.
Posted by: The Uncreator Mar 6 2008, 11:44 PM
Haha, we all know the trouble with me and lists, someone asks for 10 i give them 100
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 6 2008, 11:46 PM
But its no big deal, i'm the same way about most things.
Imagine if we made a list together. The site would have to be shut down due to its size.
Posted by: The Uncreator Mar 6 2008, 11:46 PM
Information overload, too many amazing musicians!
Posted by: Tjchep Mar 6 2008, 11:47 PM

Hah, I'm such a dork.

Hah, I'm such a dork.
I think Uncreator and I have something up our sleaves for you all!

Yeah, that's the reason it's almost impossible to get famous with music today. It's quite easy to get famous by doing crimes tho

I still find his riffs catchy, if not extremely technical. Pretty much like Slash. And yeah, I thinkl if James had seriously focused on guitar he could be shredding circles around Kirk.
+1 for Malmsteen, Schaffer, and Laiho
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Mar 7 2008, 03:49 AM
+1 for Malmsteen, Schaffer, and Laiho
Agreed. Pretty much said the same thing. Krik is great too, he is known to be sloppy and mess up a lot but if he decided to take care of his weaknesses I think he would have success doing so.
Posted by: SLASH91 Mar 7 2008, 03:51 AM
Idk...It seems as if Kirk has just gotten worse over his career. He seriously needs to tighten up, not that he's a bad player, just not great.

That should plenty good. Out of all the guitarists listed here I think John Petrucci is the only one that has a proven successful and very popular instructional video, and that was like 1995, there is no telling how good of not only a guitarist, but also a teacher he is now. Just because they are good guitarists doesn't mean they will be good teachers. For example Vinnie Moore and Michael Romeo are 2 of my favorite guitarists, they both are bad at teaching, I learned 100 times more in Rock Discipline.
Here is Malmsteen's first lesson:
"Hey guys this is Yngwie J. from the worlds greatest band and oh if you didn't know by now I am the greatest guitarist ever and always will be" *plays harmonic minor ascending 16th notes 170 BPM* "Ok now I am going to show you some licks" *plays harmonic minor ascending 16th notes 200 BPM*. "Ok if you didn't catch that, I am going to slow it down a bit so you losers can catch up with me" *plays same thing at 180 BPM*. "Ok awesome, now while we are at it, I want to show you 10 new songs of my new album. Watch me shred!"
