Watch the greats shred

Post by dANdeLION »

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion


I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Really? I thought they were pretty good. Anyway, I'm no guitarist, so what do I know? Bass is my specialty, so I'll put up some awesome bassists shredding:

Jaco pastorius

Michael Manring

Marcus Miller

Geddy Lee

More Geddy

John Myung

Chris Squire

I think shredding is highly over-rated, tho' I'd have to admit I might have a different perspective were I any good at it! :(

I have spent some time working on my tone and looking to get to the sweet nirvana of that "just right" sound. Some of the greats have done that ie, Clapton, Santana, etc., and you can spot top players by hearing their tone as much as by their playing signatures. For me, shredding is one of many tools in a player's tool kit and whilst I'd like to be able to do it better, the return on investment in time etc., is less fulfilling that sharpening other tools in the box.

But as I said if I were good at it..........
"Winston, if you were my husband I'd give you poison" ................ "Madam, if you were my wife I would drink it!"

Forgive me if I'm wrong, God knows I'm no musical expert, but it seems all of dANdeLION's links are a joke. It's like someone played along to the video(s), dubbing very bad music over the original. That is the kind of thing dANdeLION would to, too. I might not have caught it instrumentally, as I'm not familiar with most of the artists, but that's clearly not Jon Anderson's voice on the Yes cut.

My 10-yr-old and I could not stop laughing at YYZ. That was classic. The bass solos sound like the musical equivalent of stubbing your toe. Just aweful.
