Hey all, just got myself a cheapo $100 classic acoustic to learn the basics of the guitar so i was youtubeing for some inspiration when my girl's cousin put me onto this guy. Never embedded a youtube vid before so bare with me while i get this working.



Also, Africa FTMFW

Theres a whole heap of awesome guys from the same record labels.
Check the channel from the 2nd vid..

Great vids :)

My fav;

Pretty good vids, some nice stuff in there. Here's my contribution. Buckethead, like him or hate him, is an amazing guitarist. Here's a few of my fav videos/songs I can find on youtube.

EDIT - sorry for turning this into a "any guitarist" thread if you didn't want it to be

He can rip up a bass too


Nottingham Lace - The intro isn't too good but gotta love that solo


Padmasana - Basicly a 9 min, slow guitar solo. I love this song so much

Awesome thread. Vai is still the god of guitar for me.

As for bassists, Ruthis Philpot is the best I've seen in the flesh (Planet X). Other notable mentions are Ryan Dunn (Mr Bungle & Fantomas), Billy Sheehan (Mr Big, Steve Vai band) & Lyland Sklar (Toto).

For the Buckethead fans - listen to Les Claypool's bassline on Stun Operator.

Billy Sheehan

I got to meet Billy once, didn't have anything for him to sign bar an early Vai album... he's like "Dude, I don't think I even played on this album??".

What an absolutely cainer bass player!

^ Blue Powder ftw. I also love his work on the early David Lee Roth material.

He's 55 now too & still plays like a nutter.

So how many years practice is that anyway ...

s*** loads dice me old son , i should be back out in RA3 land next week mate looking forward to a bash.

Good to hear, we're losing a few numbers these days ... even I only get to play 10 mins per day about 4 days a week.

See ya in there.
