(...continued) guitar competition in Finnish tv with Vinnie Moore who toured Scandinavia. A nice idea, but execution failed. A manager is someone who can manage things, visionaries are a different tribe.
In case of Lars Eric I truly understand opinions about managers. I once met him in the early 90's while working for a guitar import company. His manager wanted to have an endorsement contract with Valley Arts Guitars (pre-Samick). Valley Arts had endorsement with Lukather, Carlton and Lee Sklar. Period. Lars Eric was, no matter how talented, a player from periphery Aland islands between Finland and Sweden, with no huge fame. Hard. Also, the same manager tried to arrange a live (continued...)
@highintel Have you been to a BB King concert? I did and will never go to another one. He introduced the band 3 times, played very little and not that good, and talked more then he played. Maybe his age has something to do with it, but today he wouldn't even get rated as a great guitar player in my opinion? Now 30 years ago might be a different story, but not today.
He's great at what he does, but I'm more into jazz and fusion. No one cares about cool chord progressions anymore. Everybody wants to play scales and arpeggios at a million miles an hour over static chords and vamps. I'd rather hear Michael Brecker or Herbie Hancock...let alone Frank Gambale or Allan Holdsworth.
@Modes9 I hear ya.. I just know he is a great guy with virtually no exposure. he gets a lil more progressive in some songs but no Jazz like you like.
My Favorite Guitarist at the moment is Keith Merrow . Another unknown guitarist, barely any leads, but some really melodic riffs. Check out Pillars of creation or any of his stuff and see what you think ;)
@JustcallmeEma !@!@! Ema sweet heart, relax baby. Dont get your panties in a bunch over my silly little comment. Look, sit down honey and let me poor you a nice tall glass of my enema water. Drink it, floaties and all, and I am sure you will feel a lot better. I do already.
Hey thanks for the post. I'm absolutely in love with Shawn Lane's work but it's refreshing to know that there are so many other talented guitarists out there that need recognition like this one. Thumbs up to you for sharing man :-bd
well, this guy is super underrated and i need to check him out, but there are cleaner guitarists. if you compare how "clean" a guitarists is compared to another and they both never miss a note then it comes to who plays the harder stuff. shawn lane. nuff said. rusty cooley too, he is wicked clean and plays harder stuff than this guy.
ah, come on. rusty makes good music too. his solos are phenomenal too. he doesn't have the songwriting skills of this guy, but he has better technical chops.
@Fluffypopcicle he is way beyond me.. I'll give him that. But my ear doesn't like his note choice. I like composers over technicians and Rusty is boring to me in that area is all.
i don't like some of his note choices either (specifically on the butcher), but there are hose rusty cooley moments with the phenomenal, well thought melodies and great use of the tremolo that just give me chills. rusty isn't fr everybody though, he is very... extreme lol.
@Fluffypopcicle I'll have to give him another chance then... I honestly haven't heard that much other than what was up on the tube about 3 or 4 years ago..I might have just heard all his boring stuff..hehe Maybe I just don't want to believe a Guy that fast is musical too...lmao...kidding.. What solos you like best? I'll check them out.
the grey tide solo is my favorite. the part where it actually gets to the solo of course, not the annoying part before which drags on forever. i also like the solo he did for austrian death machine, dark matter, and song for jazzmine.
I've been thinking on this point a lot - so called best guitarist in the world. I don't think that anyone can actually put a title on any one guitarist as the best, by any way other than opinion. For example, I was listening to Jeff Beck today, and while he may not be able to put out fantastic riffs like this guy, or Satriani, etc., he is very, very good, and there are not many people that can match his tone/style.
Something to think on.
Ps Doubt Petrucci or BH would have trouble with those. :P
He's amazing. it's a shame he's not more well known. the thing is, I didn't even actually hear of him by any of hiis albums.. I found out who he was when he played on Jason Becker's tribute album
Outstanding player. Although he is highly technical I think that a little more vibrato and bends would make his style even better. It's a shame for players of this caliber to be lost in the shadows without the recognition they deserve.
Hendrix was a great guitarist way before his time but stevie ray vaughn's version of little wing abeit sans vocals is vastly superior plus the fact srv used a 11gauge low e string setup. Also I agree this guy is a very good guitarist (i feel somewhat like the direction jason becker was going)but Steve Vai owns him.
You are a stupid human mate! SRV was great but nowhere near Hendrix who wrote the stuff he copied. Also listen to Vodoo Chile Slight Return... if you ignore recording quality differences Hendrix total owns SRV ... he really sounds like he "stood right next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand" Definitely some Voddoo going on there.
On topic the Lars guy is really boring ..... super technical not much feel or groove
Well I'm sorry you felt the need to belittle me but since you're such an expert on Hendrix I'll ask you this, in what song does SRV ever,EVER get nearly as sloppy as the 12 string work on "Hear my train a comin"? Hendrix was good and that's my opinion just as your's is that I'm stupid.
Truth is in the eye of the beholder one man's truth is another's lie my point being the only real truths in this world are death and taxes anything else is open to interpretation.
And the whole point is lost in the endless rhetoric of "my dad can beat up your dad" yet again.
Mission accomplished with the title because it certainly made me click on it. My problem is not the same as others here though because I couldn't give a crap who the best is. I like what I like & form my own introspective opinions & that should be good enough for "me."
Too many feel the need to pound the opinion out of others as a means of self-approval. Not I.
I get a kick out of Alien calling you stupid, completely unaware that to refer to anyone as such is more of indication of the self than others.
"In my opinion" I'll take SRV any time. I was never a Hendrix fan, which is of course not to imply that he wasn't a great guitarist. I just never cared for 1) his sound and 2) his songs.
If it doesn't appeal to my audible pallet then there are no words, buttons, potions, etc. I can read, push or drink that will otherwise change that.
You're welcome, It's a response I get alot from the screen name which is tongue in cheek and a response to all the closed-minded comments of youtube while I consider myself an intellectual I find the word stupid totally misused on here and in daily life is an admission of ignorance much like you stated . Peace
Guys like Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Becker, Buckethead, Mattsson, Romeo, Petrucci, Friedman, Johnson, etc...are all Extreme masters and Inspiring in a lot of Innovative ways but all are Pre-Meditated players on what I consider a crutch and lack improve skills in a sense that their improv usually results in enharmonic mindless passages (Me too).
Guys like Benson, Joe Pass etc are masters at Improv which is the ultimate achievement.
I have not heard any Genre of guitarist achieve this but Jazz.
bla bla bla useless comments,didn't see anywhere about the feeling,these quitarists you mention all seem to lack feeling and focus on techniques ,which are fine for endless conversations among musicians ,but not to the final listener.
To understand my point you should listen to Bill tsamis,Jerry Foggle,Chris De Garmo,Jim Matheos,Terry Gorle,Kenny Powell,Joey Tafolla,and of course Mark Realle...
I am sorry to inform you that i disagree with your accusation. Jimmi Hendrix in my book will always be the absolute best guitarist in the world and i LOOVVVEEEE Mattson Metallica Slipknot Impellitri you name it. i listen to every genre and blues is one of my least favorites and jimmi still takes the cake for me for best guitarist. but its all a matter of opinion. jimmi was never fast but his music spoke to me.
My opinon - he is boasting too much. It´s like - look guys, how fast can i play, look at my brilliant technique.. sucks for me, the music is not full enough, i prefer good melodic ideas.
This video is a collaboration of all my favorite boasting riffs, so that makes sense.
If this were a song I would think it sucks! But you have to realize that those are the Climax of about 10 different songs so you really cannot form an "Opinion" from this. It's Just enough to see if the guy is worth checking out.
But on your defense, I could mix it up a bit for the more melodic demanding ears.
Kool, Mattsson is better for me because his solos are far more difficult for me to play that bucket-heads. Bucket heads solos are systematic and symmetrical so the patterns are easy to memorize, it's all technique after that. Mattson's solo's are just plain impossible for me. Could just be mo though.
As far as how they sound, wel,l you like who you like, I don't blame ya.
Buckethead writes cool stuff!!! Mattsson is a little dated, but I still respect that he is the master at shred to me :)
Que no venda millones de discos no quiere decir que no sea reconocido,yo tengo todos sus lps incluso la 1a version de "Eternity" en vinilo y el problema es que aparecio en una epoca que si un guitarra no iba acompañado del sello M.varney no vendia, cantantes dudosos ,imagen poco glamourosa,una dicografica pequeña "black dragon" y un marketing pesimo .Incluso para mi como fan siguiendo su carrera me costaba encontrar sus discos, imaginaos el resto de personas.
Yeah, I am gonna have to go with what a lot of people are saying and agree that most of what this guy does here is just boring speed. Composition and musicality count over technique every day of the week, or at least be interesting. This mostly speedy scales over generic "heavy" music. The best part is when he slows down and does a little variation. This is skill, not talent.
come on man! best guitarist in the world?! you must be on crack dude, he plays fast, yes, but he got no felling or variation to it. you must get brain fucked if you liste to this in more than 10 min.
Your right! That's why the title is Best Guitarist and not Best Musician.. There is a difference. The guitar is just a tool to play music, how good you are at composing and improvising can attribute to any instrument. I agree with you in that I don't feel a lot of feeling in his writing, but his technique is something all melodic and soulful musicians could admire and possibly use.
He is the best as far as his technique is flawless...noted his vibrato is not my favorite but it's his own sound.
What is all this about feeling? What do you mean by it, and how can you tell? Is it w=if its shit, its got feeling, and if is pure perfect genius there's no feeling? Help me out here.
lmfao search for the solo on fermented offal discharge, now theres some technical music with feeling, and also, I can bet must guitarists put they're heart and soul into most of what they write, saying it has no feeling is an insult, feeling doesn;t just mean long notes and and clean guitar as most people seem to think =/
Killer solos. Muhammed Suicmez is my favorite guitarist. So much feeling in his solos. The arrangements are nothing short of genius. A death metal god.
im all rap and hip hop and my perspective of this musician is that this is really good. all the solos are attracting cause of how clean the arpeggios are. you can really set the tone of a song with a guitar solo like this. good job dude.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dude.. This is some of the worst music I've ever heard.. I hate songs that are just a bunch of sweeps and bullshit. Sweeps should be used sparingly, like in Canon rock. It can be used well and sound great, or it can sound like shit, like the song above.
Then lets hear your brilliant compositions and virtuosity in your solos.
Enough talk! Lets hear it!
Video response only please. I am sick of you little baby ignorant guitarist's. You get so big in your little heads that you start thinking your good yourself.
Well, here is your chance. Let's see how good you really are.
I will accept any video response you send so no excuses bub.
Nice Video. I really liked your video youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed check exposed check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have build 3 channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on.
THIS WORKS! Its amazing.. THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE!!!!!!
3:37 and 3:56 those riffs are as smooth as it gets. Sorry Buckethead, Cooley, and what not fans, this guy tops all ya with technique, the rest is all opinion anyway, that's why you have a Buddy Guy comment down there. (lol)
I like peas ,I like Green beans, bla bla bla. Just listen and be thankfull your not deaf you babies.
i am ur fan yor very best player please check out this gay Faraz Anwar - Autumn Madness (Instrumental) [ LIVE ] he is from pakistan their is no respest for guitarist in pakistan countary

Here is the Deal! The title is to expose Mattsson because I bet 90% of you don't know who he is.
The Best "Guitar Player" would be subjectable to style.
The Ultimate Goal as a Musician is to Play what you hear..
VanHalen does this the best.. But.. His ear is not that advanced so it comes down to what he plays..
George Benson plays everything he hears too, but, his lines are Far beyond Vanhalen's.
So, who is better? Depends on which one you relate to.
I personally think George Benson 1986!!

Kool, Mattsson is better for me because his solos are far more difficult for me to play that bucket-heads. Bucket heads solos are systematic and symmetrical so the patterns are easy to memorize, it's all technique after that. Mattson's solo's are just plain impossible for me. Could just be mo though.
As far as how they sound, wel,l you like who you like, I don't blame ya.
Buckethead writes cool stuff!!! Mattsson is a little dated, but I still respect that he is the master at shred to me :)

Que no venda millones de discos no quiere decir que no sea reconocido,yo tengo todos sus lps incluso la 1a version de "Eternity" en vinilo y el problema es que aparecio en una epoca que si un guitarra no iba acompañado del sello M.varney no vendia, cantantes dudosos ,imagen poco glamourosa,una dicografica pequeña "black dragon" y un marketing pesimo .Incluso para mi como fan siguiendo su carrera me costaba encontrar sus discos, imaginaos el resto de personas.

Yeah, I am gonna have to go with what a lot of people are saying and agree that most of what this guy does here is just boring speed. Composition and musicality count over technique every day of the week, or at least be interesting. This mostly speedy scales over generic "heavy" music. The best part is when he slows down and does a little variation. This is skill, not talent.
CanaryODoom 2 years ago
Maybe the title should be the most Skilled Guitarist then?.... interesting.
Remember, I am not claiming that he is the best Composer, but as a guitar player, his technique is untouchable, in the Shred Genre.
At least from what I have heard out there.
Just trying to help Mattsson get a little exposure, and from the ones that appreciate it,
Your WELCOME!,
that made the video all worth it to me.

I love guitar and see both sides of the argument.
I think this song sucks, but I can see how tech it is. I couldn't play this for shit!
I don't think it's as heart felt as some music, but everyone has different tastes i guess ;o
KCwellard 2 years ago
Your right! That's why the title is Best Guitarist and not Best Musician.. There is a difference. The guitar is just a tool to play music, how good you are at composing and improvising can attribute to any instrument. I agree with you in that I don't feel a lot of feeling in his writing, but his technique is something all melodic and soulful musicians could admire and possibly use.
He is the best as far as his technique is flawless...noted his vibrato is not my favorite but it's his own sound.

lmfao search for the solo on fermented offal discharge, now theres some technical music with feeling, and also, I can bet must guitarists put they're heart and soul into most of what they write, saying it has no feeling is an insult, feeling doesn;t just mean long notes and and clean guitar as most people seem to think =/

im all rap and hip hop and my perspective of this musician is that this is really good. all the solos are attracting cause of how clean the arpeggios are. you can really set the tone of a song with a guitar solo like this. good job dude.

Dude.. This is some of the worst music I've ever heard.. I hate songs that are just a bunch of sweeps and bullshit. Sweeps should be used sparingly, like in Canon rock. It can be used well and sound great, or it can sound like shit, like the song above.

Then lets hear your brilliant compositions and virtuosity in your solos.
Enough talk! Lets hear it!
Video response only please. I am sick of you little baby ignorant guitarist's. You get so big in your little heads that you start thinking your good yourself.
Well, here is your chance. Let's see how good you really are.
I will accept any video response you send so no excuses bub.
