I love Geddy Lee, but I can't stand Dream Theaters vocalist. Weird too considering they have a similar sound, probably has to do with lyrical content.![]()
- People who hate breakdowns and then when you ask them to play some basi techish August Burns Red chug pattern they can't mute properly on the rests that come quite quick, they have a horrible scratchy palm mute sound, they can't play in time against the drums, over the bar etc, they pick like a pussy. Seriously, ask any anti-core snob to play something like a veil of maya breakdown and watch them fail.
- People who don't think phrasing matters and have sour as fyenk vibrato and don't know there is more than 1 way to play a note
- On the opposite side blues players who are anti anything that isn't the minor pentatonic flat 5

Then there's an article I was reading on how to improve your technique claiming "good guitarists continually change their settings on their toggle switch, volume, and tone controls throughout their solos."![]()
Ha ha yeah that's why EVH removed all but the volume knob and at one point didn't even have that. And Warren DiMartini had no toggle or knobs of any kind for a while. Can't remember but I think his signature Charvel has none.
Too bad those guys have to "improve their technique"...
Great thread!
'Blues is easy, it is just simple pentatonic wanking'
Trems suck, they're too hard to set up.
Trems don't do vibrato, they do tremolo.
