Sonny Boy Blue asked me to get out of his car on I-5 when I said "Blues is a dead language." Since then he showed me how wrong I was.
 
Angus, Angus and some more Angus shaped my squat fingers into what they are today. Throw in a little Gary Moore (metal era), lots of Tony Iommi and Fast Eddie Clarke to round out the edges. I discovered Uli late in the game but his playing with the scorps is a lesson in beautiful phrasing/vibrato.

Honorable mention to Cream era Clapton and the guy from Cactus.

Gilmour is a sick bastard in his own category.

Not at all. Maybe you just haven't been exposed to blues that would interest you.

I've spent time studying it, like other styles, it's just un-interesting to me. Some of the blues-influenced stuff is fine and its easy to see where it has filtered down into modern stuff/ other styles. But for me liking that old straight ahead blues stuff....just don't dig it.
 
Nothing tight and dry on most those tubeclips. The cleans on this amp rival a Suhr. Those CAE 100 watters are the shit.

Way back in 1981(or 2), the band I played in video taped a show we did at a high school. When I watched it, I cringed on how not only my vibrato sounded but the way it looked :cry:
I immediately went out and looked for a video of a live band so I could watch over and over again a decent guitarist. I wound up renting a REO Speedwagon video. Gary Richrath's vibrato was so nice (I wasn't an REO fan). I would watch that video and sit in front of a mirror trying to copy how it looked for hours at a time.
Later I would listen and watch Steve Lukather (videos).

I really love Lukather, Lynch, Malmsteen vibrato. I really like Ace Frehley from Alive 1 as well.
I think anyone who can play for ten seconds and I instantly know it's them, has it in spades and it's usually because of their vibrato styles.
I'm more of a fan of wide melodic sounding vibrato. I am not a fan of quick spastic vibrato...just not my thing.

I probably worked on my vibrato more than anything else, I guess that's why my note choices usually suck..lol.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Ace Frehely. I don't care what anyone says. :boxer: One of the greatest rock, lead guitarists ever. :worship:
 
Not long ago I was watching the Kiss DVD box set (the black one). I was at the Cobo hall show for the Destroyer tour. My Dad took me. The show is on the DVD. It freaked me out how much I play like Ace. I had not heard any of that stuff for years. I became a fan again. The only time I was in the army - I was in the Kiss Army. The hooks on the first album are killer and I do not think I would be playing the guitar if it was not for Gene Simmons breathing fire and what not.
