If You Can Name Just ONE Guitar Player...

WayneCustom7 · 02-14-2006, 01:15 PM

OK I know this has been done to death, but this time only name one. One guitar player who inspired you to pick up and play. One who, above all others created that certain riff or solo, that each time you hear it, you shiver...one who has had the biggest impact on your early years, the years I consider to be those that have shaped you. Also, along with just the ONE, give ONLY ONE REASON, one main reason for choosing this person. This should make for an interesting list because of the different age groups we have here at ss.org (and no mine isn't Chuck Berry)

OK mine is Glen Tipton, phew there I said it. And the reason, very simply, his phrasing. No one phrases like Glen, or atleast at that time no one did.

Criss Oliva

Not what inspired me to play, BUT Buckethead's Colma album, and again.... i cant do it in one word his phrasing his tone just his playing.

Ritchie Blackmore.

Eddie Van Halen. Not only is he a fantastic guitarist with amazing tone, but he's one of the few guitarists on stage who looked like he was having a blast! He is all smiles!

One reason, that's cheating!

Randy Rhoads...made fairly sophisticated music sound really ballsy and exciting!

Kurt Cobain. Why? He made it seem like something I could do.

(honorary nod to my dad, for having a guitar that he played a bit, and for years of support)

True, but with Eddie, you can't list one reason. It's a package deal. He had it all!
