English is fine. and I take it by your name you're a Yngwie Malsteem fan? I love Arpeggios From Hell myself.

Yeah man, Yngwie is a master.

[Anthony342]

Yeah, I guess he would be the GOAT guitar God when it comes to instrumental songs. I also like me some Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, Steve Vai is pretty cool, loved it when the three of them toured together and made a live album out of it. There's a guy named Jack Thammarat with a pretty cool youtube channel of him playing guitar, both covers and originals.

[Ben Bolt]

And as for "Olympic boxing highlights", I'll go for Mark Breland.

I've definitely seen more exciting fights in the Olympics than Breland's ... but that's because no one else mastered them better than him.

G3 was an awesome tour, my favorite is Hendrix overall, Yngwie on instrumentals, and Joe Perry for band guitar players.

I've put him a couple of times in the video, his olympic fights weren't as dominant as expected, but he won them all, and won the gold, talented fighter.

Hold on now, I am tickled pink you like guitar, but I don't think Yangwie is the P4P goat. You have one side of the equation covered with the fast guys on electric guitar playing walls of notes. I like evey player you mentioned, but I know there are players out there who can play their stuff and have simply outgrown it musically and moved on to more demanding music. None of those guys can play any faster than Tommy Emmanuel, and none of them have his ear for music. I heard some stuff Vai wrote, a big proud project of his, and the level of the music was mediocre.

You need to listen to players who actually play a song now and then, not some rock anthem which is no more than an excuse to play a wall of notes as fast as possible, a bunch of riffs, over two or three chords. Try a melody now, Tony.

I heard Yngwie playing with Jeff Beck, and in my opinion he was not quite as good. No way is he some kind of GOAT. I think some people become legends because the people listening to them have no high knowledge of the guitar, or maybe they only have "high" knowledge, but I guess the particular sound slays them. The players you mentioned, however, are all quite able to live up to the lable of greats. Every one is a great player. Every one is also a flatpicker. Beck is a converted flatpicker who now uses his fingers in a non traditional way. Sometimes you would swear Johnson was a violin ripping through runs and arpeggios.

I am pretty sure that some young fellas who are held in heavenly high esteem by younger guitarists, would be embarrassingly lost if asked to improvise a simple swing solo over a typical around-the-horn standard progression, such as Sweet Georgia Brown. Where one has to be mindful of the progression and its changes, rather than merely blasting out an appropriate wall of notes over a few held chords, the game changes.

Guys like Tommy Emmanuel, Scotty Anderson, Richard Smith and Bret Mson are so knowledgeable that they have no problem sounding like the shredders if they need to. They get payed incredible money to play another way most of the time. They went through all of that when they were younger, along with heavy metal, Hendrix, Django and gypsy jazz, country swing, Atkins fingerstyle, delta blues, ragtime, Chicago blues, Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Wes Montgomery, and then Joe Pass. They've been everywhere.

The deep stuff has a lot of chords. The tonal palate of chords to improvise over keeps shifting.

Since every guy you listed is a giant in his own right, it is quite possible they would surprise me and knock my socks off playing tradtional tunes. I do not mean rock tunes by traditional. Of course they can play those. Johnson, especially, has something of a varied background and deep roots. He was known as a child prodigy. You would recognize his sound and his gear out of a thousand guitar demos. That is one sign of greatness right there. But not enough, of course. Duane Eddy was immediately recognizable, too, but no one is claiming he is an all time great guitarist. Johnson is different, he has stellar technique and unsuspected resivoirs of musical depth. For instance I saw him on stage with about ten guitar legends of blues. Without exception, he blew every one of them away when it came his turn.

The other ones you mentioned I just do not know about. I am pretty curious to know how those gentlemen would handle traditional music. It is diffcult to predict. They could be anything from expert to semi-inept. I am actually dying to know how Vai or Yngwie or Satriani would do if they suddenly had to solo over So Insensitive or Girl From Ipanema. Could they play meaningful notes, or would they simply be talented enough to adapt their own blitzes to the music at hand and soar above it all in a wall of notes that can get away with it but is not wonderful as music?

Let me know your impressions. I am a guitar player and lifelong fan of the instrument. I am not bad, and have a lot of knowledge, but I could not carry the picks of anyone mentioned here.

You seem to be knowledge about it, i only listen for fun, tough i used to play years ago, i find the guys of g3 pretty talented, tough the african americans of the rock and roll early eras and the blues eras where amazing.

Well first of all, I never said Yngwie was the pound for pound GOAT. Just with instrumentals. For traditional or rock songs, I'd go more for someone like Hendrix, Jeff Beck or Stevie Ray Vaughn who played traditional blues and some rock.

Second, I've never heard of the guys you mentioned. What do they play? jazz guitar? I really tried with jazz in college, but lost interest. I'm more into rock music now. Can't stand most top 40 music these days. And are you saying you don't like something like Arpeggios From Hell?
