Nelson Well Nelson old chap' date=' if nostalgia bites you can pick up one of the contemporary, Korean made [i']Marquees [/i]for not a lot of money. Their devotees seem to swear by them: Alternatively, for a few quid more there are better appointed models: http://www.burnsguitars.com/ They have quite a following here these days... Graham Coxon is a fan, as is that wally from The Darkness. I could probably be tempted by a Sonic, largely because it avoids the overtly complicated vibrato system favoured for the other models...

pohatu771 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have a friend who is a music business major, taking guitar lessons. The first time I talked to him since going to school, he said "my speed has increased so much." I was completely clueless as to why you needed speed. I understand faster parts, but even those aren't terribly fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSDx Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Melodic preferred to shred ..... give me BB King, David Gilmour, Brian May any day. I can play "fast" by some folks' definition, but I can't shred. I agree with a lot of y'all's ideas of "saying a lot with a little" (words to that effect, obviously...)

charlie brown Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 They're rarely mentioned here, but some pretty fast "Chicken pickin'" (and/or whatever else they call it) Country players are pretty impressive, IMHO. I'm not a "country" player, at all, but I like hearing some of those great "pickers" (Brad Paisley, for one), doing their thing. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy01 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I grew up on melody. Eric C., Carlos S., Alvin Lee, David Gilmour, and of course BB, & Stevie. My biggest goal is to make it sing! Slow and moving sometimes, or fast and angry sometimes. I too can't listen to much shred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesBonfire Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't mean to sound like a youngster cuz I listen to and try to play everything, but a great Canadian band from the GTA called Protest the Hero has boat loads of talent, 2 very easy going talented guitar players that fit together great. Take a listen if you can handle a bit of the heavier stuff...plus their Canadian ;).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Martin Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Melodic shredding, say, Brian-era Angus solos. Especially on The Razors Edge and Black Ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKevin Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Listen to alex Lifeson's solo in "La Villa Strangiato". This solo combines the best of melody, feel, shred...and it's in 7/8 time signature. i recommend anyone who hasn't heard that song listen to it. Especially the solo. One of the most underrated rock guitarists. He also played this solo on a Gibson hollowbody. when I want to hear elements of shredding, melody, and the blues i always go back to to this solo.
