GRAHAM SG1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 How many bands have had their sound dominated by a single guitarist in an original way, obviously Hendrix etc but how about Dr Feelgood, Wilko is a great player with style and is still going strong, he is no great singer but his guitar speaks enough !

LukeFRC Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's a funny one, it would have to be a band where the guitarist was amazing. But someone like Jeff Buckley would be ruled out as he's got a pretty good voice too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g74csZ-wBSU&feature=related but then everyone I can think of has a great band around them too.... Johnny Greenwood, Nick Zinner, Graham Coxon, the fella from the smiths, John Squire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Mick Mars of Motley Crue. I think if any other guitarist was in the band instead of him, their music would have been radically different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhammer666 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 how about john petrucci the man is like a machine the man can play 3 hour shows 100% note perfect some of his playing is beautifully majestic and some of the heavier stuff is up there with metals heaviest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 One of my personal favourites: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7R_x8ihC80"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7R_x8ihC80[/url] Or perhaps this from Guthrie Goven (with a tasty little solo-ette from brother Seth in the middle): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5xa4Lqbenw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5xa4Lqbenw[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURPOLARIS Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Brian May, I wouldn't say he dominated because Freddie was such a great front man but his guitar dominated. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Herman Li of Dragonforce. Although he's crap, and easily the worst guitarist in the band, he does dominate. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 What a travesty. They should have had the decency to change their name when they went all west coast AOR. Peter Green would be turning in his grave if he hadn't come back from the dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
