Guitar players are usually not remembered by the general public unless they have something else (like being cute). Worse for bass players and drummers, but the frontman/singer gets remembered. It was always a fight. Singer/guitarists is always easier but, like you said, usually considered non guitarist. I listened to the youtube you included and disclaimer taste/I am old, but then I listened to a lot of what he did: it is not very impressive. Sure, if you can do that live and long stretches that is talent but a good guitarist (what is the definition outside taste? that is a question, taste should not have anything to do with that)? Do you have something that shows he can do something? And the singing is just taste but without it would be better if you have.
- cyberferret 9y agoWell, as far as musicianship, this is the best case of '3 guys really deep in the pocket with a tight groove' that I have ever seen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vlBGk9qCio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vlBGk9qCio As far as a nice, tasteful guitar solo at 03:25... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG6GKh3NWkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG6GKh3NWkQ
- cyberferret 9y agoAnother guitarist/singer that is a favourite of mine is Joe Bonamassa. He is almost invisible outside of the guitar player or blues/rock enthusiast field, but is VERY successful, and busy touring the world... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-69Djk5HdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-69Djk5HdQ
- tluyben2 9y agoAgain, I might be old or weird but all you posted is nice but something not, to me, interesting to play. This is all personal taste and whatever, but as a guitar player, I can not only feel what they will play but also just play it. And, as it goes with many things, if I can do it, it cannot be all that special(that is probably something people take pills for these days ;) So some things I find amazing: https://youtu.be/v1c1SaG_gKA https://youtu.be/v1c1SaG_gKA (with his huge fingers, playing one note with feeling you cannot copy) https://youtu.be/9IrWyZ0KZuk https://youtu.be/9IrWyZ0KZuk https://youtu.be/3l0BLog1rQY https://youtu.be/3l0BLog1rQY Also blues but https://youtu.be/G3LvhdFEOqs https://youtu.be/G3LvhdFEOqs I like bass (I only have a bass left anyway); https://youtu.be/w_8NtbKsYuA https://youtu.be/w_8NtbKsYuA https://youtu.be/Kyw-Lere8Kc https://youtu.be/Kyw-Lere8Kc (did not watch this but any Steve Harris) and drums https://youtu.be/nC0QUrya3eA https://youtu.be/nC0QUrya3eA https://youtu.be/LQqNJwa5lig https://youtu.be/LQqNJwa5lig Like said my definition is surely different than yours. And a lot of it is taste.
