Tough call..
As a guitarist, a shredder playing 1000 notes a second
across a six string sweep, pretty much gives me wood...
But melodically Im not sure it leaves an impression..
Then you hear classic slower solos where a single note
might be bent, pulled on/off, vibrato, muffled, pinched
tremelo... and you suddenly realize how single notes can be just
as powerful a statement.
Is this because the slower solos are more like a human
singing ??? (I would like to hear any human attempt to
sing an Ynwie solo )
Do we relate more to the melodic emotion behind a
crying single note, than a flurry of notes in a scale ???
Im finding that the older I get, the more Im appreciating
the slower stuff. (Dave gilmour type stuff) But theres always
that huge adrenalin rush of a well executed shred..
Whats your preference ??
Ive stopped tapping these days as it feels clich'ed and
a bit like Im wanking off.. Anyone else on this trip ??
Shred or melody ??
Which is the real king of the guitar solo ?
