goose Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The Edge should definitely be on this thread. He developed his own signature sound. Not too many players came out sounding so different from everything that had been done before - Hendrix, EVH, the Edge...His percussive style is pretty distinct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many players came out sounding so different from everything that had been done before - Hendrix, EVH, the Edge...This is not true. The Edge "borrowed" almost every thing he incorporated into his playing. Keith Levene and Tom Verlaine being the most obvious sources. The Edge was more a promoter than an innovator.

Syrinx Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 OK but he took it to the masses and that gets him on the list. If this list is just for originators it would be pretty short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he asked to lighten up and get a sense of humor? Or does he just get his jollies being antagonistic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Eyes Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Who do you think is the greatest guitarist, and why? It's a tie between Nick Jonas and Lil Wayne. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFeryunQ-cI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
