| Guthrie Govan plays: Who's Best? |
 |
The Winter 2005 edition of UK Guitar mag
'Guitar Techniques' revealed winners of a
readers poll, identifying the best players
(in the humble opinions of many GT readers)
at certain techniques. Master Guthrie then
wrote and recorded a (rather superb) piece of
music in the style of all of the consequent
winners. To answer the inevitable questions,
the results were as follows;
Best chord voicings - Eric Johnson
Best use of capo - James Taylor
Best strumming - Pete Townsend
Best use of E-Bow or sustaining device - The
Edge
Best vibrato - BB King
Best string bending - David Gilmour
Best finger picking - Mark Knopfler
Best hybrid picking - Albert Lee
Best tapping - Eddie Van Halen
Best palm muting - Al Di Meola
Best sweep picking - Yngwie
Best speed, Best alternate picking, Best
string skipping - Pablo Giblerto
Best pinched harmonics - Zakk Wylde
Best use of an effect - Tom Morello
Best legato - Satch
Best fretting hand reach, Best use of
harmonics - Steve Vai
Best use of slide - Sonny Landreth
Best feel - Jeff Beck
Best timing - John Schofield
Most creative/experimental player, Best use
of whammy bar, Overall winner - Jimi.
This vid is more about showcasing the piece
of music and versatility of Mr G rather than
prompting a debate over who is better than
who (you can't please everyone with such
polls), but if you wish to tear lumps out of
each other then be my guest :)
Enjoy.
