ok can see it now, as it has been misconstrued: -
- there should be an "i" in front of the "don't", in the above quoted sentence.
of course i'm not speaking for others. hell no.
OK, guys. This is turning into a major party pooper convention. Fun's over - nothing to see here anymore...
Hey Swedish Chef, I saw your list of players there. B.B. King, Mike Stern, Eric Clapton and Tommy Emmanuel??
Tell me, are there any examples of your playing on here or anywhere else on the net?
Because I'm thinking you must be some kind of MONSTROUS guitar player.
I mean like a seriously innovative, utterly original, technically stunning, genre-bending badass!
I can't wait to hear it!
I dont fake hate anybody. I work really, really, really hard at this guitar thing and have done so for many years. Anyone who's on anyone list here has probably worked even harder. No one needs to be hated or fake hated. This is hard stuff. These guys are the good guys.
Lighten up!
Re-read the title and the OP - it's not about hate, it's not about "overrated" or anything like that.
It's actually quite simple: which guitar player do you dislike? And don't tell me there are none
Hm, I probably can't name seven, because most players I dislike I don't memorize their names... ok:
- Mike Oldfield
- Eric Johnson
- Santana (nowadays; I dig the old stuff)
- Jeff Loomis :razz:
- Shawn Lane
- John Petrucci (nowadays; but a cool dude still)
- Steven Wilson
Ok, got to 7, but that took some time and there are plethora of guitarists out there I dislike more, I just don't know them by name![]()
