How Do I Become a Guitarist?
Guitar heroes are guitar masters, and some of the best guitar masters in the band are known as "guitar heroes".
Guitar hero
(Guitar Master)
- Guitar heroes are guitar masters, and some of the best guitar masters in the band are known as "guitar heroes".
- The guitar is a type of plucked string instrument with a variable body shape.
- Jimi Hendrix
- No. 1-Jimmi Hendrix
- When it comes to rock guitarists, Jimi Hendrix must be mentioned. This black and Indian biracial is a real

- It's crooked again, let's go back to Jimi Hendrix. Unfortunately, this talented dude has a weak life. After only three years on the stage, he died because of overdose! However, he brought endless vitality to rock music. Some of the sound effects that the original guitarist tried to avoid were used by him as part of the music, such as Feedback "feedback". Many of the rock guitar skills you hear today It is derived from Jimi Hendrix. A tone commonly used in his music has now become a classic (Jimi's WA "Jimmy's Wah").
- Led Zeppelin
- Among the guitar players of the same age as the guitar genius Jimi Hendrix, there are three masters. They are also known as the four major guitar heroes of the 60s and 70s with Jimi Hendrix. Friends who love rock and play guitar know that. They are Eric Clapton, known as the "God of the Guitar", Jimmy Page, guitarist of the band Led Zeppelin, father of heavy metals, and Pete Townshend, guitarist of The Who. First talk about Jimmy Page.
- Which is the most influential band of the entire 70's? ---- It's not The Doors, or Eagles, but Led Zeppelin, later known as the father of heavy metals. The band's classic Stairway To Heaven is called the hymn throughout the 70's! As a guitarist, Jimmy Page played passionately and creatively. A Stairway To Heaven begins with a clear and melodious chord breakup chords, if any, it guides the melody; to the climax part, the guitar is distorted. From the beginning, it is very rare to have a domineering feeling without being overbearing, without a bit of fireworks!
- Jimmy Page has a guitar stunt that uses a violin bow to pull the guitar. During the Yardbirds period, it was in 1966 that a small hand asked Jimmy Page if he had tried to play the guitar with a violin bow. When he did this, the guitar gave an unprecedented sound effect. This is exactly what he tried to prevent the guitar from playing a clear and crisp sound. Jimmy Page was always looking. Jimmy Page used the "Lajita" method in both "Glimpses Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor". In the period of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page also used the "pulling guitar" method when singing dazed and confused live. This technique became the iconic acting of Led Zeppelin and became a legendary shot in the history of rock music.
- Led Zeppelin laid the foundation for heavy metals to become mainstream rock in the future. The idol of many guitar heroes today is Jimmy Page. He is good at interpreting Blues in a way that is not Blues. It tastes weird, but full of power. Jimi Hendrix, The WHO, Eric Clapton, and others made heavy rock (ie hard rock) more and more heavy, but Led Zeppelin made it really called Heavy Metal heavy metal, and Jimmy Page as the soul of the band contributed! After speaking for a long time, I would like to hear this Stairway To Heaven again, :-)
- "Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven."
- After hearing this song, I believe everyone is familiar. This is Eric Clapton, known as the "God of the Guitar". Eric Clapton was born in a middle-class family in the UK, but fell in love with the black grudge Blues. He started to learn guitar at the age of 17, and was already known as the British Isles in his twenties. Rock fans wrote on the walls on both sides of the street: Clapton is God! This is the origin of the "God of the Guitar".
- Clapton has been immersed in the blues for decades. His guitar skills have been amazing. He has a nickname called "slow hands". This is not to say that he plays the piano slowly-but because Clapton's fingers are too fast. No more obvious action! Cool! :-)
- Clapton first played guitar for some famous blues musicians at the time, and soon he was dissatisfied with his status, so he found two top musicians at the time, and formed a short life but wrote in the history of rock A stroke of the CREAM band ("cream" or "elite"?). Its music belongs to HARDROCK. Clapton played a hard rock here and became more and more famous! It may be because the skills of several masters are too good. Everyone wants to increase the proportion of their musical instruments in the music. How can the "God of God" be allowed to be arrogant by others? Do you want to be in the limelight? no way! So the band disbanded ... Clapton went looking for candidates to form a new band BlindFaith (blind faith), but unfortunately it didn't last long, and the "God of God" disbanded the band again.
- Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Clpaton's masterpiece was the love song "Laura". Laura is a friend of Clapton and the wife of the famous guitarist George Harrison of The Beatles. It's really uncomfortable to fall in love with someone else's wife, Clapton is heartbroken, writes this song in pain, and then starts drinking and taking drugs! It wasn't until the 1980s that Clapton quit drinking and detoxifying before re-establishing his image.
- After the makeover, Clapton, a miserable face all day, his brother's BLUES played more and more authentic, and the guitar began to melancholy. :)
- Clapton first unveiled the atmosphere of unplugged. He used his previous works to "unplug" one by one. After re-interpretation, don't have a taste. Under the circumstances of bereavement, Tears in Heaven made him back to the top of the list, and it was not easy to win the Grammy Award of the year!
- Compared to Jimi Hendrix and Jimi Page, Clapton's feeling seems to be a little bit lost, but his deep understanding of BLUES music and superb technology are beyond doubt. I've heard Clapton's double album "24night", and he really didn't say anything about BLUES music. The choice of timbre and the skillful use of skills make people feel that he has really been able to use it freely.
- The master is the master! Ha ha
- Pete Townshend, one of the big guitar heroes, has a famous habit of being imitated by countless guitar players, that is, at the end of each concert, he must destroy the guitar in his hand! (Jimi Hendrix is imitating his destruction of the instrument on the stage, but Jimi Hendrix also burned the guitar to dedicate it to rock!) The reason was that during a rehearsal, Pete Townshend was booming, and he stretched out his hand to lift the guitar. Thinking that the roof was too short, he tried too hard and smashed the ceiling! :-) Of course, the guitar is also not hit. Oh, the devil broke the guitar in half with anger, and it is a habit to smash the guitar as the signal of THE END at the end of each performance. Guitarists who like to be in the limelight scramble to imitate this really make the guitar manufacturing factory laugh! (A buddy once followed the example of a devil who slammed a 5,000 yuan electric guitar in half! A cow?)
- Pete Townshend also has a performance stunt, which is to straighten his right arm to make a clockwise (according to the angle of the guitarist) gesture of a windmill to brush the strings. It is very imposing and is emulated by a large number of guitarists. (Izzy Stradlin, rhythm guitarist of Guns n Roses, is like this in the music video of sweet child o 'mine, tangible!)
- Less gossip, the book is true! Pete Townshend is the guitarist of THE WHO. His greatest credit is to write the world's first rock opera: TOMMY. The entire album tells a theme story. You must listen to the songs in the order of the record. You can't disturb it to get a clear and complete music theme, which is what the WHO wants to express.
- SORRY, I hear very little about The Who! The impression of Peter Tomshend is just a classic guitarist, and what he plays sounds like a product of the sixties and seventies. Don't know well and don't dare to comment! I think someone must know more about THE WHO than I do, and hope to see such an article.
- In addition, there is another guy in the 1960s and 1970s who can also be called Hardrock. He is Jeff Beck. This gentleman also has a unique skill. I have heard his SOLO album, it is really fierce! Unfortunately, he has a strong habit of forming bands, forming one, dissolving one, then forming, and dissolving ... so there is nothing that can be compared with the above four beautiful works, but as a guitar player, his skill is indeed worth mentioning Both technical and sensory are excellent.
- Heavy metal band
- Above I talked about the most famous guitarists from the 1960s to the 1970s, before and after the birth of heavy metals. One thing to explain here is that although Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend are not really heavy metal guitarists, But ---- their characteristics in composition and orchestration: taking Rhythem & Blues "rhythm blues" as the root of music, the guitar as the lead instrument has been greatly highlighted, and the powerful distortion sound and huge volume are exactly what came later "Signboard" of heavy metal; moreover, the masterpieces of Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze" can be said to be the early prototypes of heavy metal; it is from them that the hero images of guitarists have been established. Therefore, Generally speaking, when it comes to heavy metal guitarists, they are absolutely indispensable. I originally wanted to talk about some of the better Heavy Metal guitarists, but they wrote, but they were confused about "rock history". Although Shi was interested, many Dongdongs have long lost track of it, but since it has already started, I thought I had to write it down. (// shy) Above it is full of mistakes, really sorry!
- Speaking of guitar heroes in heavy metal bands, let's be honest: too many! Heavyweight guitar player of the same age as the four major guitar heroes, as well as Jeff Beck (mentioned above), Ritchie Blackmore (lead guitar of the famous heavy metal band "Deep Purple"), Randy Rhoads ("Ozzy Osburne" band), George Lunych ("Dokken" band), Leslie West ("Moutain" band), Brain May ("Queen" band) ..... It's too much to count! After the 1980s, heavy metals became the mainstream of rock music. Record companies saw the potential of heavy metals and signed a contract with heavy metal bands. "Do you want to gain both fame and fortune? Go for heavy metal!" The new generation of guitarists is constantly renovating their technology compared to playing with flowers. The old generation of guitarists are not lonely. They have re-entered the rivers and lakes, and the guitar heroes have made their debut.
- Like Eddie Van Halen, Steven Vai, Slash, Nuno Bettencount, Paul Gibert Rudolf Schenker, James Hetfield,
- Kirk Hammett, CCDeville, Richie Samobra,
- Stevie Ray Vanghan, ... wait, it's innumerable! If you want to listen to the masters of the "Weapon Spectrum" one by one, it is really difficult! I do nt think it s necessary. So, the guitar players I m going to introduce below are all quite good. Moreover, as the metal bands of different styles they represent, they are all worth listening to!
- Eddie Van Halen
- Speaking of the guitar heroes of the 80s, Eddie Van Halen (the lead guitarist of the Van Halen band) is the first. This person has deep skills and greatly improved the technical level of rock guitar. He is known as the natural successor of the guitar god Eric Clapton. . Eddie Van Halen pioneered the metal chord technique, and in the fingering speed, took the lead to take a step forward to a higher level, becoming a representative figure of modern heavy metal music. Let me talk about his classic work "Source of Infection"- --- The source of the obsessive music begins with a very fast four-point triplet chord (if you are just starting to listen to heavy metals, you must not think of how it pops up), mature and spicy, with the same fast speed The bottom of your feet drums up, bringing a sudden and rushing atmosphere, letting people hear it feels like riding on a heavy motorcycle! ---- One word ---- "Cool"!
- I have tried to play this section, and the hand was messed up without playing a few measures. It is really hard to hear Van Halen's things. The overall feeling is that kind of orthodox heavy metal, and the playing color of the guitar is very strong! They emphasized that the music itself must be accompanied by technical improvements, as evidenced by Eddie Van Halen's leadership in the band. His performance is technically impeccable and full of dazzling skills and speed. But as far as I am concerned , Van Halen's things ca nt be heard for long, and they get tired after listening too much, and those skills are repeated, lacking affection. His things can only admire me, but not touch me! (Of course, there are many people who like Van Halen very much. The fifth child in the Tang Dynasty is just one; whether they like it or not is just because of different personal appreciation. It does not necessarily prove that they cannot. I think this is also the key to the issue that many music fans are arguing about. !)
- What is the source of obsession? ---- It's LOVE! "Love is the source of infection" Eddie Van Halen's guitar, you can enjoy it, but it is not worth obsessive :-)
- Steve Vai
- There is a legend in modern rock music. As a heavy metal guitarist, his technology and feeling have reached an invincible level, and he has become an idol of countless new generation guitarists. He is the lead guitar of WHITESNAKE White Snake Band-Steve Vai (also One of my favorite guitarists). Steve Vai's works in the White Snake Band I have heard very little, it feels like a typical heavy metal work, similar to Van Halen, mostly love songs, not very valuable music. But let I was shocked by his solo album. A "Love of God": the opening chord technique with effects, accompanied by the background chorus of the synthesizer, it feels like the setting sun, the ripples on the scaly lake With waves of ripples ... After a few breaths, the guitar sounded like a hero epic, solemn and beautiful, and it sounded absolutely fascinating! The perfection, like the advent of God, is difficult to describe in words! So Wonderful! ...
- Later, after listening to some of Steve Vai's personal works, I felt back to WHITESNAKE, fast and fancy. He really did not say what his guitar level was, he has crossed the heavy metal and rose to a higher level --- FUSION. However, maybe it is The partner is not very good. Maybe it is the change of personal creative direction that made him never release such works as "For the Love of God". It is a shame!
- Regardless, as a guitarist, Steve Vai has become perfect. Only one "God's Love" is enough to be included in the "arms spectrum". Added: Steve Vai's guitar performance is full of rich skills, but also with Eddie Van Halen's music feels different; Steve Vai's performance is more full of classical metal charm.
- Slash
- "Guns and Roses" is one of the most popular heavy metal bands in the world. Its lead guitarist, Slash, is ranked first among my favorite guitarists. Slash's hands + Gibson guitar + Rat effects + Roland speakers, With the voice of lead vocalist Axl Rose, it was awesome! (Guns'N'Roses is also my favorite band) I won't talk about G'N'R here, but just talk about Slash. Slash was originally Mexican, first contacted with rock music at the age of 17, and was immediately hooked. Since then, he started his rock career. Meeting Axl Rose is the biggest opportunity in his life. Two like-minded buddies came together and the "guns and roses band" was born! In 1985, the band released their first album, "Desire", where Slash played unrestrainedly, and immediately became the focus of attention. Some people praised him as the first best player of contemporary guitar heroes.
- In addition to being accomplished in music, each artist must also pay attention to his image. Slash has a very distinctive image: a lot of long curly hair and a certain large round high hat cover the face. When playing the guitar, take the guitar close to the face, head down, eyes tightly staring With the guitar, I ca nt keep my eyes off, not crazy, not angry, not bold, but very serious. This is Slash's signature dress and performance pose.
- The biggest feature of Slash is that he uses the BluesMetal technique to play Punk-style tunes. The characteristic stringing and strong and fluid guitar sounds are unforgettable after hearing it. For example, the three-line SOLO in NovberberRain Elegant and affectionate, with both the savage power of HeavyMetal and the sentimentality of parting, it makes people cry with tears! A Patience, completely using the harp, although the intro and SOLO are short, but the theme of Patenice is vividly expressed, the difficulty is in the very delicate emotional grasp when pushing the strings. Although I am very skilled in this bomb, I still can't grasp the slight change (the consciousness is too far away!) The difference between the master and the ordinary player is in the subtle sense; you can always practice the technique, but "Feeling", the feeling of music, the feeling of rock, but it depends on a certain talent and subsequent continuous training. So Slash is just such a real guitar master! His skills are superb and he feels very good. The most precious thing is that he is not only a musician in the band, but also one of the creators. Personal sensation and overall sensation blend together, and that's what makes GUNS'N'ROSES 'music stand out. Personal skills, creative level, and role in the entire band are indispensable. So I Love G'N'R!
- Metallica
- Ever heard of Nothing Else Matters? As the soothing and sad guitar breaks down, James Hetfield's deep voice echoes in the air: "Never cared for what they do, never cared for what they know, but I know so closed no matter. .. "This is Metallica, the originator of TrashMetal (vocal metal). Lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett ---- the protagonist of this article. Many people have a beard, long Hair shawl, looks like a vocalist James Hetfield quite impressive, as the soul of Metallica, he is full of creative genius and fighting spirit. But you know, James Hetfield is also a very good guitarist, singing Often, he and Kirk Hemmett alternate SOLO. If you have watched Metallica's concert, you will understand why he is on the list of contemporary guitar heroes! Kirk Hammett, many people may not pay much attention to him. A fine curly hair is draped like waves, and his personality is silent. However, he plays the guitar, like an unknown swordsman in Gu Long's novel, pulls out his sword.
- Joe Satriani
- Joe Satriani was born on July 15, 1957, in Long Island, New York. Shortly after his 14th birthday, his hero Jimmy Handeks died. Joe, who lost his idol, will definitely quit the high football team and pick up the guitar. Three years after his studies, Joe was a little known in the Long Island area and often taught others. One day, a small boy appeared on the doorstep of Joe Secini's house holding a piano and a dozen strings, asking him for advice. This child was the guitarist who later became a great master of progressive rock music-Steve After Steve Vai lived in Japan for a few years, Joe Secini settled in San Francisco in 1978 and teaches guitar at the prestigious "second-hand guitar" school in the university town of Berkeley, California. Over the past 10 years, there have been many masters under the door, and famous musicians such as David Bryson, Kirk Hammett, Charlie Hunt, and Alex Skonic have all been his ****.
- In 1979, Joe and drummer Jeff Cryptelli and bassist Andy Milton formed a popular band: "Square". Later, this energetic three-person band form has been accompanied by Joe's acting career. On Christmas 1983, during the three weeks of the break, Joe registered at lightning speed his own record publishing company "Wonderful Music" and the independent production company "Lu Huana" named after her wife. After launching an EP album with five pure guitar tracks, two other members of the band began to ridicule him for "nervation" and predicted that his recording career would be gone. Instead of being moved, Joe, with even greater enthusiasm and ultra-low cost of $ 5,000, produced the first complete pure guitar music album "Not Belonging to the Planet" in 1985. To this day, Joe still uses "nervation" to praise other outstanding musicians.
- Although "I don't belong to this planet" received no response, but with the strong recommendation of Steve Van, he won a recording contract for a record company for Joe. At this time, Joe delved into guitar playing skills with a wizard-like passion, and his style gradually matured. In 1987, the second solo album "Walking with the Demon" was released shortly after reaching platinum and was nominated for a Grammy Award. In 1988, Joe interrupted his tour twice. The three live recordings left during this period were later organized into EP album "No. 11 Dream", making Joe nominated again by Grammy.
- In the 1989 album "Flying in a Blue Dream", Joe recorded 18 songs and sang 6 of them in one breath. As long as I listen to "I Believe", Joe can be a great singer. . The 1992 album "Extremists" hit No. 24 on the Billboard chart as soon as it was released. The title track "Summer Song" was later used by Sony Records as a special song to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the CD.
- In 1993 Joe Secini made a big hit and released a two-set album Time Machine. The first one contains a collection of old studio recordings and overseas releases; the second one contains 14 live recordings. The touring venue for "Time Machine" was full and was hailed as a rare and wonderful journey in the history of rock and roll.
- In 1995 Joe Secini released his seventh album "Joe Secini". After a year of preparation, the 90's strongest guitar lineup, G3, consisting of Joe Secini, Steve Van and Eric Johnson, began touring in North America. This 24-day guitar event has made hard rock fans ecstatic. After G3 released the "Concert Live" album and videotape, it was sold out immediately. The myth of G3's expedition to Europe in May 1997 and his return to North America in June, the guitar wizard continued in the exciting guitar performance.
