Who's tone is inspiring you to play these days?

[Variable]

Dave Gilmour's tone on any Floyd song except Learning to Fly. Especially the Comfortably Numb and Have a Cigar tones.

 

[Hollywood]

Vitto Brata/whitelion, Warren Haynes/gov't mule, John Norum, Joe DonRooney/Rascal Flatts

Right now for me, it's Joe Bonamassa. Just something about his playing and different tone flavors are very inspiring for me.

Dude he is seriously inspiring me.His chops,attention to tone and dynamics have me working on my rig and playing to the point where I have made a serious improvement.He has a high level of confidence too which I could use improvement in.

Holy shit. Definitely unexpected! I didn't know you listened to any of their stuff. Have you heard any Spiritual Beggars by chance?

LOL!
Yeah I got some Arch Enemy and while the vocals take a bit of getting used to, I really like the guitar work. It's good stuff.
I'm also digging Soilwork quite a bit.

I haven't. I heard that band mentioned, but I haven't checked them out. Maybe I'll go do that now...

EDIT: OH YEAH!! They rock dude!! Thanks for the suggestion.

Arch Enemy and Soilwork!? You're really surprising me here.

I'm hoping that you've heard the older albums by both of those bands, the guitarwork is way better than in the more recent stuff. Stigmata and Burning Bridges for AE and Steelbath Suicide, A Predator's Portrait, and Chainheart Machine for Soilwork.

Here's a Beggars video by the way - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSNMYNpxXIo

And also check out Chris' solo project, Armageddon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o29C2truk6Q

Thus far I haven't gone back too far with Arch Enemy. I have Doomsday Machine and Rise of the Tyrant, both of which I like. I'll have to check out the older stuff.

As for Soilwork, I've been thru pretty much their whole catalog and I like damn-near all of it. I think A Predator's Portrait is probably my fave at the moment.

Good stuff! I like both of those...

 

[mrp5150]

A Predator's Portrait is definitely an amazing album. It's got the most technical guitarwork, but it's still catchy and has killer riffs. You need to check out the old AE stuff though, it's a hundred times better than any of their new stuff IMO.

Yup.. That's what I like about Soilwork. Just when I get tired of the pummelling, the play something melodic... That's what keeps me listening.

I'll have to check it out... I still can't believe that voice comes out of a chick... LOL!

LOL! Alot of those solos so remind me of Andy LaRocque's solos King Diamond...
That's not a bad thing because I love alot of the guitar work on those old King Diamond albums...

Chris Poland's band Ohm.

Haha, well the old Arch Enemy albums have a guy on vocals. He's much better than Angela IMO.
