Yodeling is to vocals as 'shredding' is to guitar playing. For example:

[Twillig]

From my favorite YouTube Unknown guitarist Jan Laurenz:

"Don't Jodel without Hosenträger"

(rather amusing)
:headbang:




(btw that guitar god poll the other day was a disgrace. But, that's just, like, my opinion, man.)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

1. No, that that "guitar god" poll the other day was an EFFING disgrace and epic fail

No Jimi? Let's do a "Favorite Marx Brother" poll and leave out Groucho.



:eyes:

[Twillig]

2. Jimi #1 is a written in stone fact.

(of course the poll was not 'rock' guitarists, but let's assume it was)

Yeah, all my favorites of (who are active) today can play circles around what Jimi did back in the day, but they're all standing on his shoulders.

Satriani rates Jeff Beck the best of the living (Satch took up guitar on Jimi's death) guitarists.

I'd not argue, I've been a fan since age 13.

Jeff Beck #2.

After that, opinions may vary. Some right, some hideously wrong, but what the heck?

3. I can *shred* too but wouldn't be caught dead doing it in public

it's more or less just scales played fast

[Twillig]

4. sure it is.

8. You expect me to click on your link when no one has clicked on mine.

Nope.

No quid pro quo, no go.

[Ptah]

9. But I did click on it.

[Twillig]

11. Funny, it has the same view count as when I posted the op.

Name a prominent geographical feature in the background of the video and I'll believe.

Name a prop too.

[Ptah]

15. A painting behind some guy

[Twillig]

17. not good enough.

[Ptah]

19. Not good enough for what?

Where is the scorecard?

[Twillig]

20. So what is in the background?

'some painting' misses the mark.

Just say you didn't/couldn't be bothered to click on my link, I'll admit the same for yours.

6. Our lead guitarist had a GREAT line...

.
... he said guys like Yngwe Malmstein just spent WAY too much time
in high school up in their bedrooms practicing scales.
.

[Twillig]

7. I've seen you repeat that 3 times at least.

I bet your lead guitarist bent a few notes and felt that was just about good enough.

Yes, there's great shame in learning all about one's job of playing the guitar.

[backwoodsbob]

10. shredding to guitar playing is like

cc deville to Chet Atkins

[Twillig]

13. Butt out of this sub-thread.

thank you very much.

And did I ever say I was in favor of out and out shredding?

I hate Yngwie F. Malmsteen's music. I have no use for Batio's music. But, I envy their dexterity, I'd say that.

Anti-shredders who, it stands to reason, must have no chops, dish the shit on them.

Oh, well.

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. Our lead guitarist had a great line...

[Twillig]

14. And look at them now! Yngwie plays guitar for a living and will

for the rest of his life.

And your guitarist?

Let's hope for the best.

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. I don't think you have to butt out of "our" sub-thread...

.
... but then again... I don't have the authority to make that kind of, um... you know... potent demand.
.
Did I take a wrong turn? Is this the Lounge or GD?
.

[Twillig]

18. you're, like, replying to yourself.

Maybe some more bashing of Yngwie practicing scales is in order.

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. Self (I said to myself)...

.
... BUTT OUT OF THIS SUB-THREAD!!!!
.

[MiddleFingerMom]

22. OK (I said to myself)...

.
... Goodnight.
.

[Twillig]

23. anybody without a star--who wants one--only has to tell me:

what my man uses as a prop.

Simple as that.

[Twillig]

24. Just click the fucking link. I'll star anybody you like.

I swear.
