I mostly see him like a German Blackmore.

Yes, like he said and also like I said he is influenced by Blackmore very much. But I think that technically Blackmore is a better guitar player. What do you think? When talking about art, it's impossible to say that one artist is better than the other. This means I can't say that any guitarist is better than other one. Each guitar player has its own voice, and even when we notice big influences, there may be differences based on personality, tastes, experiences, and so... One thing that I can assure that Blackmore has been more influential because he was part of one the most popular hard rock bands ever. -------------------- My lessons

Yes, art and music is subjective, that's why I said technically. I like both guitar players very much, but still there are objective things that can be said about playing guitar, that's why it is possible to rate someone's play. Yes, but even rating is subjective. If we talk only about technique, there are so many elements to consider like alternate picking, legato, vibrato, dynamics, timing, groove, articulation, cleanness, hands sync, tone and I could continue... I should go really deeper with the analysis between both them to define if any of them is better than there other "technically". In some sense they come from the same 70s standards (as klassaine said), so they may be very close (again) technically. As I don't know Axel's stuff deeply, so I can't say too much, but I wonder if there is 1 solo by him that amazes me as much as Highway Star or Burn. I suspect that your question is more related to shredding (fast passages). If you compare them to newer shredders, these standards have changed, since EVH appeared, then Malmsteen, and then guys like Gilbert and Petrucci. Their picking is more precise and cleaner, but this doesn't make them "better players"... they play a different style or represent a different guitar era. By the way, I feel that comparing guitarists like Blackmore, Hendrix, Beck, Page and all those legends among them and with others doesn't take anywhere. Enjoy the guitarists that you love, learn from them. This solo is a masterpiece by itself... -------------------- My lessons

Yes, but maybe it was not fair to analize a live playing of Axel, it's different from studio song. This is the studio version and contains 2 solos, one in the middle and an ending solo. Middle Clean Solo: 4:17, this clean part remainds of the ending of the burn solo. Middle Heavy Guitar Solo: 5:06 Ending Solo: 7:10 But I feel that even in the studio his hands are not in sync at fast speeds. That is interesting for me, because when I first played guitar I did not pay attention to this details, this is how I thought it should sound. His playing is much more precise in this studio version. There are not pitch issues at all, the fast parts sound consistent, with his dirty style but without the hand sync issues that I noted in the live clip, and the parts sound good composed and more connected with the chords. -------------------- My lessons
