Steve Smyth at EMG TV

Im surprised no one has posted this video yet

YouTube - Steve Smyth performs live at EMGtv.

I really like his style of playing, it has a sort of a jason becker/ Marty Friedman-ish sound to it (which I really like). I really wish he would join Nevermore again,him and Jeff were a such a good guitar duo

I dig it man! Thanks for sharing!

I don't think he was using his usual rig...

I never really dug his picking hand. Never have been a fan of the banana shaped way of holding the pick. Definately a cool song though, what guitar was he playing?

He used a krank back when they were sponsored on the guitar world vids, and his tone was pretty balls then, too.

His right hand technique isn't great but then neither is Marty Friedman's, Guess you don't need amazing technique to make good songs

 

[NaYoN]

Ass-bad tone but really cool song

His tone on "This Godless Endeavor" is why I hope he never returns to Nevermore.

Don't like that guitar. Favourite Nevermore guitarist along with Pat though.

Yeah, I know the one, that was a pretty shit tone but I honestly think it was just the way the video was made...most players sound horrible in those vids

He should probably grab a guitar you like then, hey?

 

[Variant]

The tone sounded great (well, except on the rhythm parts... that was a bit lacking.), you're all high. I especially liked the harmonized James Murphy-esque parts.

 

[Deadfall]

Helluva player...does sound like Eleven Blue Egyptians though.

 

[eaeolian]

Steve's a good player, and a great guy to hang with. He's definitely a more legato-ish player than most of the guys discussed around here, though.

For the record, Smyth's Ignitors are unbelievably sexy.
