Just because i learned to play guitar by playing someones music (whom you think has no technique) doesn't mean i am lookin' for an ass kickin' ! But i highly doubt that you'd be the one to do it ... pft ...

If you can play, good for you. Remember thinking and doin are 2 different things. Also air guitar isn't really playing guitar. I really don't care what you can or (most likely can't) do. Those who can't, teach and criticize ... Good for you to have a mate who believes what you do. Wow, 2 people who believe the same thing ... it must be true !

And if you have no style, technique is wasted...

I have never had anybody complain that because i learned to play guitar by playing metallica that i can't play, have no technique, style or am just a plain suck ass guitarist ...

But hey, you think what makes you feel good. After all its only your OPINION ... nothin' that will throw the world off its rotation.

+1 on Akerfeldt! I watched Live at Shepard's Bush yesterday and he gives such feel on Windowpane and To Rid the Disease. Can't believe I forgot him...

However, Herman Li is a very sloppy guitarist, IMO.

I can't believe no one has even mentioned Matthew Bellamy yet!!:eek: :mad:

So eh..
1. Matthew Bellamy (Muse) hee hee
2. Billy Corgan (Samshing Pumpkins)

And for bass guitarists:
1. Chris Wolstenholme


Why are bass guitarists always overlooked??
Bass is just as good as guitar!*nods furiously*

My uncles, they're not famous, do they count?
