OK.

OK, so describe what makes this one "absolute crap".owlSteve CarrollSteve Carrollowl
Now, to rile you back up a bit:

Lots of people play it. Dave wrote it.
Yeah, right ;) This chick is 'rewriting' it on the fly (jammin'):
<https://youtu.be/4hFyTDkbpjI?t=285>
That is absolute crap.
What a jackass.LOL! You're missing the point I'm trying to make. What do you think was "written" about his solo? I bet he just played some takes and cobbled together the parts he liked from them, like lots of guys do in the studio.

Where is the tune he did that on?owlSteve CarrollSteve Carrollowl
And there are several other young chicks that can play it decently on YT... but they ain't playing Beck's stuff ;)
There's a reason for that, and it's not because it's awesome. :)
It's because they can't figure out how to do what he does, not in the way he does it.
LOL! Yeah, making a complete mess is hard to match.
LOL! C'mon, admit it, you've never heard any of the music I just mentioned.Steve Carrollowl
Look, you can jam like some people, others, you can't. People can jam remarkably *like* Gilmour once they nail the processing stack. You can switch crap around all year long and *never* sound like Beck. I guarantee Beck could sound like Gilmour in a few minutes. The reverse? Never gonna happen.
Is that how Satriani can "sound like" Hendrix? I'll pass.owlSeriously, is there anything that Beck wrote that gives you goosebumps when you hear it?Steve Carroll
And the sound of my jaw hitting the floor: Blow By Blow, Wired, Guitar Shop.
I didn't mean the kind of goosebumps you get when someone rakes their fingernails down a blackboard. :)
That's my point, these lists are silly. One thing I would point out, though, Beck is on a helluva a lot of them... but they're still BS.Steve Carrollowl
I've never gotten that from Gilmour's playing. Frankly, outside of a few PF tunes I rarely listened to him.owlSteve Carroll
That's the mark of greatness, not "chops" or seeing how "out there" you can get. It's called "music." Some people forget that it's supposed to be listened to and enjoyed.
And some people forget that the mantle of 'greatest guitarist' is different than 'greatest composer' or 'greatest guy playing a particular solo I like'. Nothing wrong with that... but it's a different discussion. In any event, there really is no 'greatest guitarist' but there is raw talent, which Beck has more of compared to *any* of the Brits. And every single one of them will tell you that. While I think these little 'lists' and 'ratings' are a joke, if DG was so great he should be in this one (not like he never played a Gibson):

Pete Townshend and Mick Ronson? WTF. (Counting Beck, that makes a total of three WTFs).
