The electric guitar..

uss · 04-08-2005, 04:29 PM

Hello.

I have a strong wish to hear beautifully electric guitar sound-filled songs.

Led Zeppelin rocks, that much I know.

Would Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix also be good as such? Then, what else?

Thanks. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

You want straight guitar gods? Jimi, of course, is the ultimate guitar god. My other favorites include Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson. They tend more towards a Rock/jazz/fusion kind of sound... very melodic and interesting.

From a straight rock perspective, Rush has always been one of my musical favorites (as in music-focused songs). Pink Floyd is good musically, but I find their music more interesting lyrically (as in the songs themselves).

Best thing is there are no wrong answers. Try 'em out and see what you like!

Metallica, Megadeth, Iron maiden. Metal gods. Listen and worship.

Metallica, from the old days. My favorite is from the "Ride the Lightening" CD, called "Fade to Black". Can't top that one.

Very well done SomeGuy. I'd also add Stevie Ray Vaughn.
