GMC Forum _ Nemanja Filipovic (Singing Instructor) _ The Best Singing Professional Guitarist
Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jun 1 2008, 05:39 PM
I was inspired to open this subject by the other topic here on GMC "Paul Gilbert singing"
So,the best singer,who is professional guitar player,well for me it is SRV,he has that high and strong "Texas" voice,and he always amaze me when I listen to his live performance,hi is so in to the pitch,and almost never of the key.
So what is your choice?

Stevie Ray Vaughn played and sang like he meant it! Another guy who can sing like crazy, and is a smoking guitar player is Dann Huff of Giant. This guy can shred with the best of them, and has an incredible vocal range. Anybody heard of him?

my favorite would be Dave Mustaine, But im Biased!

OMG this is so hard... I mean SRV, BB King, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, and the list goes on and on. I think I'll have to think a bit harder. It's getting late here now and there are just so many to consider for so many reasons.

yeah, Devin Townsend and Kai Hansen are a great singers (in a very different styles), and both are great guitar players

I'd probably have to go with Hetfield-not a huge metallica fan but that guy rocks the guitar and the mic!
I like bullet for my valentine now and then- i think Matt Tuck is quite a good singer- but an average guitarist really.
Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jun 2 2008, 10:37 PM
One of my favorite to is John Mayer..Really like his color,and the style he is going with.

I'm so surprised that nobody mentioned Matt Bellamy of Muse! 
He's a fantastic singer and a true guitar virtuoso. And on top of that, he's also a mind-blowing pianist.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 3 2008, 01:39 PM
Yeah Matt Bellamy rocks

Ben Harper is a great singer and also a trully good guitarist.
I love the sensual voice of Knopfler especially in Brother in Arms..

Jari Mäenpää

Well, after Watershed I have to say Mikael Åkerfeldt. His voice is insanely good, now. Pre watershed I would have picked Steven Wilson though.
Posted by: audiopaal Jun 4 2008, 09:17 AM
Argh, I forgot Steven Wilson.. He's awesome!!
Posted by: Chiruki Jun 4 2008, 10:55 AM

James hetfield, dave mustaine, and the singer from Fall Of Troy (his name escapes me right now, if youve never heard of them check them out, he impresses me beyond no end becaue he can sing playing some of the most complex stuff, its really cool.)
Posted by: mr Rainbow Jun 8 2008, 08:29 AM
