Subjective-tastic or what ?!! Ten fingers is good I suppose, following that what makes a good guitar ?
I hadn't posted here because I wasn't sure of how to explain it, but those are the perfect words to describe what I think.Chris Brooks said:A good guitarist to me is a good musician - someone expressive, technically capable, musical and who has good control of their instrument, as well as the ability to phrase well. A good guitarist is speaking a language they are completely fluent in, and whether or not you like it as a listener depends on whether or not he's speaking in your language.
yourdeadgroom said:I would define a good guitarist as someone with good technique.
I would define a good musician as someone who is able to convey their emotions effectively, or effect others emotions, on their chosen instrument.
I make the distinction, because there are people that can blaze away on guitar, and are quite obviously good guitar players, but that have no 'soul' to their playing, they don't say anything with their music. Conversely, there are people that technically aren't that flash on guitar, or atleast don't show off everything they can do, that can blow people away.
I've played guitar 15 years.
Thanks little dude.Mr. Shred-ididle said:And Chris Brooks is the perfect guy to show you the qualities he's saying...Check out his own music NOW
i havent made any photos but i saw many people taking photos so maybe the will appear on this forumis available some photos from the gig on the net? i was almost there...
I think it's sort of stupid to say that Petrucci isn't a good guitarist. But it's most likely that anonymousnick2001 just wants to challenge us.
Um, I was actually talking a bout the humility thing...I heard he's a prick and and elitist. I could be wrong...A good guitarist has technical skill, emotion, creativity and a good variety of riffs and solos. Petrucci has all of that.
Dream Theater are one of my favorite bands. Petrucci is amazing. I just think he has an ego complex. Down, doggie...John Petrucci is EXACTLY what you described. Don't be ignorant...
I wouldn't believe what Yngvai X said in the SyX board man about him, not that i think he's deliberatly lying i just think he's ogtton fauly secondary evedence. but ive heard so much stuff about JP being really nice, humble, funny etc...Alot of bullshit gets told about famous guitarists, like mabey once Jp said to a sound tech that he wants his guitar up louder, then the next person said that Jp shouted at the sounf tech, then the next person sais he through a punch at the sound tech, then the next peron sais Jp killed the sound tech...well, not that extreem but you get the ideaanonymousnick2001 said:Um, I was actually talking a bout the humility thing...I heard he's a prick and and elitist.

That we lack? A+++ for attitude dude!MadManMustard said:What makes it amazing is creating that something out of nothing, that initial spark of inspiration and creation that we lack.

Seriously, pissing with the big boys will never be possible if you think you'll never be able to.
