i want to say something about jeff beck
if their is anyone who evolves their style multiple times in good ways it is jeff beck.
usually guitar players lose their musical touch after a while and start sucking, but jeff beck is not that guitar player.
from "truth" to "blow by blow" to "you had it coming" he is a music machine.
that's my rant
If he is not a guitar god then he is at least a song writing genius
please don't crucify me

One of these 2 is a guitar god, the other is, sadly, just a 41 year old fanboy.....

Wow, dude...you really must've hunted for that one. I barely remember writing it!Jimmie":3qfoh92i said:I hijacked this comment from another thread to pose an age old question:

Nuno "Bettencourt" NOT "Betincort" and that he loses 5 cool
points for misspelling a guitar god's name.
Funny that the only time I get quoted is for being OCD about spelling. Great...
Maybe I should've used the term "Guitar Wizard."
Anyway, if Nuno isn't a guitar god -- if this was 1992, he WOULD be, btw... -- he certainly is a guitar wizard.
If anyone can find the youtube "Play with Me" solo and anything tonewise from the Waiting for the Punchline album,
you'd agree.

I didn't hunt for it, as soon as I read it, it inspired me to start this thread, was almost a year ago now.
maybe the era for Guitar Gods has come and gone. For instance, if Stairway to Heaven was just released, it probably wouldn't mean much by today's standards, because our taste in music has evolved, our expectation in tone has evolved. I remember watching Buck Dharma one night back in 83 touring as Soft White Underbelly. It was in a seedy little bar called the Rock Saloon in Muskegon, Michigan. He was just amazing, the harmonic minor solos oozing from his guitar, so dark and ominous, almost like sin. the entire place was mesmerized. Maybe thats it, no one is taking us there through their music like they did back in the day, Tool gets close, am sure others do as well. Morrison talked about Dionysus, ritual madness and ecstacy acheived through music. Elvis had it, the Beatles had it, I just don't see it happening like it used to.
