REAL guitar.

[deadzone]

Joe Satriani is a god. The only mainstream REAL guitar that I can think of is DragonForce, and although there solos are sometimes messy live (well they used to be) you still have to admit that they have talent.

And btw, DF have improved x4954375 over the past year, I saw them live and was in the very front row and they could play pretty much everything they've recorded.

However, they are nowhere near the best in the world. But they do have talent.

I have to disagree, Dforce really isn't that great and got famous over a technicality there songs really aren't that EXTREME to play and what not and how isn't people like Malmsteen, Satriani, Vai not famous? they are world renown.

Stop using mainstream to describe genres or waves of music. Artists are artists and styles are styles

Actually i saw DF recently front row and they hit every note dead on.

I would beg to differ Yngwie plays quite soulfully such as with his songs evil eye, and far beyond the sun to name a few. Just because he happens to have more skill at a certain aspect of the instrument he plays then another and shows that doesn't mean he is talentless anyone who bothers to make music has to put some soul\meaning into there songs. I would have to say you have a bit too learn before you can talk shit about someone such as Yngwie especially when he put your "god" of guitar to shame at G3

I will say as a few other people have said though that all genres have lots of talent\soul not just quick or technical music. Now I can't see the videos you posted so I can't really comment any further. care to tell me what songs they are?

Wow, you brought up Yngwie's WORST live performances up there.
I never said he was talentless. You totally misread the post.
Have you seen Voodoo Chile, G3? Yngwie messes up and makes the song sound horrible.
I've said this before.. Hopefully you can read this this time.
Yngwie is a skilled guitarist, but that's all he is. He isn't a musician. He doesn't create music.. just mindless shredding in all honesty.
