that's what I meant - your playing ability is clearly superb but you imo have still to learn that you can express more with one carefully selected note than with a hundred fastly swept from any given scale

best guitar solo i ever heard was on an occasion when Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band was opening for Steve Miller

(I know -- what were they thinking?)

1st thing the guitar player for Bonzo Dog came out and played about ten minutes of brutal guitar ripping off every one of Stevie 'guita' Miller's signature riffs in a weaving in and out of fugue like multi-part complexity, requiring extraordinary technical skill, not to mention cahones for showing up the show's 'star' in such blatant fashion.

Absolutely.

Andy Latimer is one of the most underrated guitarists out there - sensitivity, power, techinique with emotion - fabulous. He and Gentle Giant's Gary Green are two of my absolute favourite Guitarists...

Allan Holdsworth is another biggie - the solo on In The Dead of Night is astonishing.

yes but thank god that people like Dimitar go beyond the pentatonic one that so many of those straight rock players get stuck on

imo, there is room for it all. and one bonus for Dimitar is he can do both, rest assured the pentatoninc scale would of probably been the 1st one he learned. then moved on. light years.

Bernard Sumner on 'failures' by Joy Division, the guitar is so obviously out of tune.

Barney is the king!

b.t.w.:

one fantastic guitar-player who is also most highly
underrated is Gary Chandler from Jadis.

Part of what he plays is so beautyful and out of this world - makes me want to cry sometimes

- I have to put up something
