1) Trey Anastasio (formerly of Phish)-doesn't use many effects and is known for his fast solos but can definitely pull out a slow, melodic one when the song calls for it.

2) Al Schneir (MOE.)-one of my personal favorites, a great improviser. His solos are somewhat limited as far as speed goes (the fast solos come from their other guitarist) but there are few out there who can compare to his ability to put together notes on the spot.

and probably my favorite...

3) Brendan Bayliss (Umphrey's McGee)-this man can SHRED but at the same time make his solos sound great. I don't like heavy music at all and was originally turned off to him because he played fast on the first songs I heard but the more I listened the more I respected him. I recommend listening to some of their live stuff just to hear him solo.

Anyways, my $.02, take it for what it's worth.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dl0571 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217631 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217614 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 06:11:14 +0000

So that's not too bad an idea, Boogie.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Clazon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217614 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217611 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 05:59:08 +0000
Eric Clapton
George Harrison
BB King
Mike Campbell (from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
Eliot Easton (from the Cars)
John Fogerty
Keith Richards/Ron Wood

These guys did not play a lot of notes, but they played them well. It might do me well to go listen to a few of their albums and learn from them.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous 22752 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217611 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217566 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 03:39:49 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion pearlthekat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217566 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217543 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:50:33 +0000
All my favorite bands have been very basic. Guitar plugged into LOUD amp. :twisted:

I always go back to bands like AC/DC, Cream, or Free. You listen to these old records, they really weren't even using distortion, it's just an overdriven cranked amp. Something about those tones, the best.

Take away The Edge's effects?? I like the guy, but there wouldn't be much there.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217543 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217541 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:46:11 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/paged/2/#post-217541 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217538 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:41:22 +0000
Together with an endless array of needless effects, it takes away from the actual playing of the guitar itself. I mean look at The Edge from U2.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Clazon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217538 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217532 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:33:24 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217532 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217521 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:09:10 +0000
Modern guitarists get caught up in all the fiddle faddling around and dont actually get out those crunchy tones.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Clazon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217521 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/the-art-of-simplicity/#post-217514 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 01:54:02 +0000
