Time to throw a monkey wrench in the works!!!!! Some of you no doubt know who this is, but for those who don't... prepare to have your melon tweaked a little! This guy is also the Founder(?) Leader of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (possibly not anymore I haven't kept up with him). The first album I got form him was "VooDoo Violince." Awesome Julliard student....


I thinks there were only like two songs on the album with any lyrics/vocals somethin like that...

That's kind of cheating. It takes picking completely out of the equation and picking is very hard to master. Les Claypool often plays an electric upright bass but he's kinda just messing around when he does it.

It's not harder, it's just different. I play both, and it's a whole new world on a guitar.

For me, it isn't about technical excellence as much as it's about expressing the sentiment of the song.

I haven't heard all the music in the world but the guitarist I most admire based on the above is David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

The solo in comfortably numb is, in terms of both context and delivery, perfect

That said, I discovered the Electric Wizard only two months ago and Jus Oborn is a fucking detuned guitar god.
