Guitarists

Randy Rhoads is the best guitarist of all time. He died way before his time, but his music will live forever. He was technical, creative, abstract ( see diary of a madman), and wrote some of the catchiest music in rock history. My personal favorite, by far.

Eric Clapton

He also had graffiti all over London proclaiming that he "is God."

This should be as part of the question as it is an important fact and the questions are linked together as the same answer. But yes, it is Eric Clapton who became known as Slowhand and had graffiti all over London proclaiming that he "is God" (this is a question that was asked on gsn oodles challenge so i wanted to make sure everyone got it if they were searching for the answer here as I know many people do. Good luck oodlers).

That would be Robbie Blunt.

Whitesnake's lead singer is David Coverdale.

He has 3 main acoustics: a Martin, a Guild, and his most popular is an Alvarez semi-hollow body. His electric guitars are mainly Fender telecasters.

Yes, in my (and many others') opinion, Eddie Van Halen is the best guitarist in the world. People have marveled at his skill for years, and it definitely is unmatched, even by my favorite guitarist from my favorite band, Alex Lifeson of Rush.

Hope this helped!

It depends on how your mental ability is. There really is no answer. some people learn better than others.

Other answer: Yes it is! If you have the courage to learn.

It's not easy to answer yes or no, you'll just have to try it yourself. I believe, however, that everyone has the potential to become a guitarist, with a little practise//NajN

Richie Sambora

acoustic guitar

Justin plays more guitars but one of them is a Gibson hummingbird!

it is actually called the Gibson Doves In Flight, big difference in quality and sound.

Zacky Vengeance plays a custom schecter guitar. As does Synyster Gates. Zacky Vengeance has quite a few custom schecter guitars, and most of them you can buy online.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the band, the writer of the song is somewhere in band It is a dedication number for Ronnie Van Zant who was a member of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd. He died in a plane crash. The whole band is credited with the writingof the song.

Matthias Jabs and Rudolf Schenker are the 2 current players

His name is Jason White. And he isn't officially part of the band because he does not record on any of Green Day's studio albums. Billie Joe does all the Guitar work on the albums. White is a long time friend of the band, especially Billie Joe. He is co-owner of Billie Joe's record label. He plays with Green Day life. This is because if you noticed, while it is true that Billie Joe is the guitarist and vocalist, he is also the "front man" so he has to get the crowd pumped and all that stuff. A heck of a lot of work for one guy on stage. So they use White to play guitar. A lot of critics say that he plays the solos for Billie Joe and all that, and while that may be true on tour, it is not in the studio. Something else to take note of, White's playing and Billie Joe's playing is very different, something you can notice in concerts. White sounds different than what you hear on the album while Billie doesn't.

There were various guitarists in the Yardbirds during their original 1960s run. The below list is the different guitar line ups that appeared in the band from 1963 to 1968.

1963

Tony 'Top' Topham (lead), Chris Dreja (rhythm)

late 1963 to early 1965

Eric Clapton (lead), Chris Dreja (rhythm)

early 1965 to 1966

Jeff Beck (lead) Chris Dreja (rhythm) - during this period Jimmy Page joins on bass until he eventually swaps instruments with Chris Dreja

1966

Jeff Beck (lead), Jimmy Page (2nd lead)

late 1966 - 1968

Jimmy Page (lead)

So the answer to the question is 'every guitarist whose name isn't mentioned above'.

Pete Townsend (oodles answer)

Not on your fretting hand. It will be impossible to fret. On your picking hand, maybe.

Yeah you can totally play with acrylics on the picking hand, if you finger pick a lot, there are hundreds of guitarists that do so. As far as on the other hand, you'd be surpirsed, I sure can't play basic chords with any nail length at all, but I had a teacher who had thick, relatively long, candy apple red acrylics - and somehow she fingered the fret board just fine! Now, she was playing pretty simple stuff. It still baffles me to this day how in the world she did it, but she did!

Jake E. Lee who was later replaced by Zack Wylde

This question calls for an opinion and opinions differ. Do not remove answers simply because you disagree with them.

looks cool but its a fancy BC Rich warlock bronze series, if you can get it for under 300$ your getting a good deal.

comfortable, light , very versatile pickups but metal comes from you, so switch the strings and put a low tuning. But honestly though keep saving up, the best warlocks right now that are affordable are the IT series ones, 100$ more online but you will like it 10x more.

metal comes from within though, thick strings, knowing what to play.. those sort of things.

There are many techniques for building up the strength of ones knuckles. Martial artists have several methods. * Use a punching bag on a regular basis, without pads or wrappings. * Punch the makiwara, a karate training device that consists of a springy board that is punched repeatedly. * Do knuckle push ups. These are done on the first two knuckles of the pointer and middle fingers.
