Hi there GMC, maybe some of you know that the famous rollingstone magazine likes to create a ranking list of the best guitarist of all time. Well, It really drives me mad because alone the idea of ranking guitarist is just absolutely senseless. So let alone that some guitarist are rated top (where you think What is Kurt doing up here) and some low (What is Eddie doing down there?) some great guitarists are not even listed! So what is the criterion for that list ??Do you also think that it is just absolute nonsense to create such a list ? Like to read your comments...

" put feeling in your playing" thing is over rated.. not to say these guys weren't good.. but if no one has realised it.. "feeling" is the choice to add bends and vibrato and to play notes that are very melodic.. anyone can play with feeling, others choose to shred.. I agree about your general observations, but pretty much disagree about the feeling stuff. Not everyone can play with feeling. Also not every one can shred, and other people do shred with feeling. And those who can play with feeling do it in very different ways.(after all feeling comes from inside ) David Gilmour or Slash are amongst my favorites, while shredders with no feeling look impressive to me, but I really don't listen to then that often. The only problem is that rating feeling is totally subjective. This post has been edited by Gus: Apr 27 2008, 07:22 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
