Dude, really? Luca Turilli? Seriously.

He's a good guitarist.. not everyone in the world could play his sweeps..

 

[Horus]

He can sweep, but he's horrible at writing. Sweeping doesn't mean shit when you can't write to begin with.

 

[kazzman]

He's a good guitarist.. not everyone in the world could play his sweeps..

Meanwhile I hear kids sitting down and playing his sweeps every day where I work...

Dude, really? Luca Turilli? Seriously.

Yeah i enjoy his playing , i really dont see whats the big deal anyways hes not even in the top 5 anyways

 

[MnoruS]

Luca has great solo ideas, which sound very much like rhythmic ideas. Great stuff. And he's one of the best songwriters around (despite my not liking his solo work). He's primarily a songwriter to me than a rhythm or lead guitarist. His sweeps aren't too difficult, but he plays them at the right moments.

Mathieu Marcotte deserves a mention, his solo stuff sounds excellent and Augury's debut slays.
