That kind of explains my point. But nobody is gonna dog DEVY when he says it. so there
I'l be quiet now. But not completely agreeing with the groups likes doesnt designate trolling.
Randy, your crazy about the rusty cooly comment. I HAVE commented a COUPLE of times and said the exact thing you just said. That you may not like the guy, but his chops are serious.
JUST like i said about GG in my first post
I must be remembering the context incorrectly (and I don't mean that sarcastically) but I thought I remembered you saying that "some people don't want to hear/play melodic stuff. Sometimes they just want to hear shred full speed with no emotion". That's paraphrased, of course, but I was under the impression you said something to that effect. If not, my apologies. You're very right... Rusty's technique is amazing.

I don't think people are disagreeing with the fact that drilling away non-stop can get boring and is unentertaining, but the disagreement is that THAT'S what GG does. I outlined my feelings on it a little earlier in the thread.
Well, i totally may have said that actually. And i agree, but i dont think of GG so much as a shredder i guess, more of a guitar wanker.
Like i said. I'l shut up now

Exactly. Id say anyone who seriously thinks that his playing is all speed and no substance cant have heard much of him. On average I see him play live about once a month, have done for the last few years now, and he's got to be one of the most melodic players out there. Im not trying to label him as the Best Guitarist in The World, as there's no such thing, but as far as melody and phrasing goes, Id say he's easily in the same leagues as Jeff Beck and Shawn Lane, who are both big influences of his. Just because a guitarist plays super-fast, that doesnt automatically make it tasteless shred. As someone else said earlier, if Guthrie's playing is 'boring' then Id love to see what actually does constitute 'interesting' playing!
I cant get enough of this video. He has such a flow to his licks.
My favorite thing about him is how he switches styles within his solos. He can be fusion in one lick, bluesy in another, and downright metal as fuck in the next. He has such versatility compared to other players out there.
And yes tasteful is absolutely the best word to describe his playing

The trouble with Guthrie and many others is that they vary their style, you may love something they do and hate another part. Easily done, but it is easy to see he has a great mastery of the instrument, and a lot to share and inspire with other guitarists.
I call it "Shawn Lane Syndrome", love it or hate it, anyone can clearly see he was the best player. His music is interpreted by the individual but anyone can see his technique is on another level. I think that could apply to Guthrie, but I prefer Andy James whilst discussing British guys famed for their technique rather than the bands their in or the music they make.
What has the internet done to music fans???
