yeah, he just has such a jangly strat sound and is so creative...
- MBFlyerfan

He tunes his guitar to something ridiculous like an Eb so his hand doesn't move too much because of his carpal tunnel. Pretty interesting.

Might not be an Eb but it's definitely something whacky

I don't know who that is. And as far as fairly well-known guitarists, you're probably right.

But I think the most underrated guitarist of all-time is some guy you've never heard of who lived in a town no one ever heard of who played with musicians so poor that they couldn't even get signed to the closest independent record label. He now probably works as a plumber or some poop.

Keith Richards does something similar, he can play most chords he uses with just one or 2 fingers.

Queen was largely before my time. Obviously I know the band and I know Freddy Mercury, but don't know all of the band members.

I can play every chord with just 1 finger.

Granted, I don't know what I'm playing, it sounds like trash, and has no harmony. But boy can I play it fast.

I watched a Floyd doc the other night. And he was female doging about how they were playing "His" songs. Sure, he wrote most of the words, but the music was all Gilmour and Wright. Wright had to tune Waters bass back in the day for pete's sake.


The guy is just a giant asshat.

Talented, and I do like the first 3 albums. But they're basically Dream Theater copy cats, just with better songwriting abilities.

I saw them a month ago and he was killing it. He tunes a half step down (Eb) but that is about it. Its all the same fingering just a half step lower on the register.

This is supposed to be entertainment. Keep your views to yourself. BTW, I listen to Floyd because of the music not the lyrics. As an aside,

Big time, mediocre bassist, raging anti-semite and utterly full of himself as well. Gilmour probably thanks God everyday that he doesn't have to play with him any more.

And then there is Tommy Emmanuel, who I will NEVER be able to play like. The guy blows my mind. He does things that leave me agape.

I just can't wrap my brain around how he is able to split his mind like that to play both rhythm melody and chords like that all at the same time.


Chet Atkins is his main influence and that guy was just as baddass,,,,
