holy shit...

[flatbroke]

I just never heard of him before. On the same thread that I saw this guy, there was another one of Buckethead:

I just wonder if EVH would have kept his shit together, and pushed himself, how good he would have gotten.

edward re-invented for a generation how a guitar is suppost to be played... Not a lot of people can claim that. However there is a LITTLE problem with all these ''shredder'' is that they can't come up with any song...

For me, how fast, how loud, how technical, doesn't really matter, it's all about rock and roll and if your songs are crap, then i'll take CC Deville anytime before any of these guys...

[flatbroke]

Agree with you. I know there are a lot of fast players out there. Just wish more of them would hook up with a band / singer that would put more guitar driven rock music out there. Like when EVH got loose with Dave on the riff on sinner's swing for example.

CC Deville is NOT a guitar player, nor has he ever written anything close to resembling a song...

[franksters]

Elvis, Poison is a cheesyband, but be honest you're at a party having some beer and what not, what will get the girls goin' poison or yngwie malmsteem????

At least everyone will have a blast doin air guitar solo, and it'll be a good time, they also had a few good tunes back then.

What kinda skanks do you run with?

Let me guess:

Chicks that could have been in a Bon Jovi video in 1987...however 15-18 years have gone by and they are:

1. 30-40 lbs over weight
2. still wear tapered acid wash jeans
3. wear tube tops with the fat roll exposed
4. wear toooooo much ake up
5. 3 kids by 3 different dads (or that is the best they can recall)
6. Still drive the 1987 IROC that daddy got them for their 16th birthday


Am I close?

Please advise; inquiring mind(s) would like to know!

EVH revolutionized the way 8 string rock and roll is played-period. What kind of a Dick-Head are you? Where the Fuck have you been the last 30 years?

Neither! Maybe Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, or Bow Wow...

I'm a guitar freak, but what fuckin' year do think this is ??

Air guitar solo ?? LMAO !!

And NO FUCKING WAY DID POISION HAVE A FEW GOOD TUNES!!!

Not even one...

The R&B/Hip-Hop guys i mentioned above blow stupid fucking Poision out of the water, then and now...

The Virtual Air Guitar project gives wannabe guitarists the chance to rock out (Image: Helsinki University of Technology)Aspiring rock gods can at last create their own guitar solos - without ever having to pick up a real instrument, thanks to a group of Finnish computer science students.

The Virtual Air Guitar project, developed at the Helsinki University of Technology, adds genuine electric guitar sounds to the passionately played air guitar.

Using a computer to monitor the hand movements of a "player", the system adds riffs and licks to match frantic mid-air finger work. By responding instantly to a wide variety of gestures it promises to turn even the least musically gifted air guitarist to a virtual fret board virtuoso.

Aki Kanerva, Juha Laitinen and Teemu Mäki-Patola came up with the idea after being invited to develop a virtual instrument as part of their coursework. "The first thing that came to mind was an air guitar," Kanerva told New Scientist.

The resulting system consists of a video camera and a computer hooked up to an appropriately loud set of speakers.

A player then needs only to don a pair of brightly coloured gloves in order to rock out. Computer vision software automatically keeps track of their hands and detects different gestures, as a video of the system in action demonstrates (22MB, requires Windows Media Player and DivX codec for the visual aspect of the footage).

Frenetic strumming
The Finnish team created a library of guitar sounds based around the pentatonic minor scale – a progression commonly used for rock guitar solos – in order to create the right sound for their virtual instrument.

As a player moves their left hand along the neck of their virtual guitar, the computer will run through the scale. Holding it one place while strumming frenetically produces fret board tricks such as hammer-ons – where slapping a finger onto an already vibrating string produces a higher note – and blues bends, which give a distinctive rock twang. And a floor pedal can also be used to switch the system into mode that plays several different chords.

Kanerva says players can easily create unique air guitar style. "No two playing experiences are quite the same," he says. "When you're playing really hard you get a really nasty distortion sound which is great – but you have to work for it."

The project is currently being demonstrated at the Heureka Science Centre in Finland where it has been played more than 5000 times over the last month, Kanerva says. As a follow-up, the researchers are working on a version that will be compatible with a normal webcam and computer, thus giving wannabe rock stars the opportunity to practise their art in the privacy of their bedroom.

For Kanerva, who had to research different guitar playing tricks, the project has had another benefit. "I wasn't a guitarist before I started the project," he says. "But I am now."
