You realize he plays all downstrokes correct?
Not to mention he plays with a great deal of emotion, attitude, and plays it with speed. This isn't something many guitar players can pull off. I've looked a few pages back and haven't been able to find anything but you saying people are stupid for their favorite guitarists. Could you say who yours would be? Because, gessing by your name alone, I'd be inclined to believe you like Petrucci (sp?) =/ and he just plays fast...meh =/ |

how the hell is emotion moot?
Being great, to a certain point, is about personal preference. When I hear Zakk play (especially live) it blows me away, he amazes me with technical ability AS WELL AS the emotion he uses (see book of shadows for reference). Petrucci does absolutely nothing for me, like Malmsteen. He's fast, as all hell, but when he plays it's like he's saying, "hey look how fast and perfect I can play" whereas with other guitar players whom I like it's like, "hey, this is how I was feeling at the time I played and recorded this." The combination of emotion and ability is rare IMO. But then again, David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitar players ever; and that has nothing to do with technical ability or speed. |
