ROCKING out with Chris Geden

Chappers invited me up to jam with his band during his set at Monkey Fest.

I had an excellent time trading licks with the talented Chris Geden from live4guitar.com

Apologies for my level being particularly quite.

ROCK!!!

I think you're a great player, really, but I'm just kinda tired of your licks and soloing ability, it seems like you just can do the same thing over and over with a few changes. Not saying this to troll, cause you're a great player.

@daniloleal13 Here's my two pence on the subject, every guitar player has there trick bag and there own style. take my favourites; SRV always sounds like SRV, Yngwie has his own patterns and licks, Eric Johnson has his own distinctive sound. I have always tried to sound like me when improvising, I have lots of variations on all the patterns I do and I continue to write new variations. I put most of my day, everyday into my guitar playing and I will continue to because I love it.

@suzuki15 He has the Socal model, so those are dimarzios

I just don't get your mix of legato and picking!!! I only wish I could!!!!

You're a perfect mix of the great personality's and playing of Rick Emmit and Yngwie Malmsteen! I love your phrasing man! You are my favorite guitar player ever!!!

good battle no doubt, I think chris geden gets the hill though

[suzuki15]

Do you have the Charvel with the duncans or marzios?

[mybinhasbroke]

Thanks for that info jamsearch

@mybinhasbroke I was told he is working on it now. Maybe in a couple of months.

All I want to know is, when Sam is going to get a cd released featuring his amazing skills?

[jamsearch]

@nunocarmona I think I'm the oposite of you. I never was into Malmsteem or any of the other shredders until I started listening to Sam. I was always someone into Led Zep, Pink Floyd, SRV, Hendrix and Joe B. Sam has brought it all together for me. He's my "Hard Rock Heavy Metal Blues Shredding Guitar Hero" now. I now appreciate the work of Malmsteem a lot more because he may not create my favorite songs to listen to but his techniques wow me now that I can see how they can be used differently.

@coulsonsam87 That's why I don't like Malmsteen although he's a great player and has some remarkable tunes. He's playing the same thing over and over again. As a listener I got tired of him pretty quick. Other players, like Vai, don't repeat themselves with such intensity and still have personality and a distinctive style. My opinion, of course.

damage to the recorded sound is crap! : (
