Top Ten Greatest Guitar Players

When learning another language, experts recommend that you immerse yourself in the language. The same principle applies when learning how to play guitar. Listening to great guitar players can be a source of inspiration, can encourage you to keep practicing, and give you a goal to work toward. The following are the top ten greatest guitar players, listed in no particular order:

1. Jimi Hendrix - At one point, Hendrix couldn't get a break in Nashville, and he ended his backup days with Little Richard in a contract dispute. He quickly realized, however, the value of innovation in playing, as well as in putting on a stage show that fans would remember. Many fans claim he was the greatest guitarist ever to pick up the instrument. At the very least his creative drive, technical ability and such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll. It was his innovation, and his ability to play his guitar in any position with any body part, that consistently places him as one of the top rated guitarists ever.

2. Eric Clapton - Clapton can not only brag that he's considered one of the greatest rock guitarists and one of the greatest blues guitarists, but also that he has drawn huge crowds for his classical guitar concerts. His playing style is smooth, yet precise, and chords almost seem to flow from his fingertips.

3. Robert Johnson - Recorded his songs for the first time on November 23, 1936 in San Antonio, Texas. Although modern guitar players will often complain that Robert Johnson was out of time, out of tune, and you cannot understand his vocals, style of playing was unlike anything else at the time, and set the pace for future generations of blues players. Johnson is also the guitar player often accused of having made the deal at the crossroads, selling his soul to the devil in order to be able to play.

4. Eddie Van Halen - The lightning speed and innovative sounds of Eddie Van Halen's guitar are easily recognizable. They are even more impressive when taking into consideration that he is completely self-taught, having never had any type of lesson. It has often been said, that it is easy for Eddie to be creative in his playing techniques because he was never told how he could or could not play.

5. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Born on October 3 1954 , in the Oak Cliff Section of Dallas Texas. Easily one of the most well known modern blues guitarists, Vaughan's music seemed to be pulled from the depths of his soul at times. While his playing was smooth, it was the sheer amount of emotion in every note that drew people to his music.

6. Tony Iommi - For many people, Iommi is considered the first real metal guitar player, using a lot of distortion but keeping it completely controlled. His fiery style is even more impressive because his fingering hand is missing the tips of two fingers, requiring him to use rubber prosthetics when playing.

7. Jeff Beck - Many guitar players consider Jeff Beck to be one of the most well rounded guitarists in the world, able to produce incredible tones with what appears to be very little effort. Despite his ability to create amazing sounds with a great depth of feeling, he is rarely given the credit he deserves.

8. Jimmy Page - Formerly one of the hottest studio players in England, Page not only has the ability to write incredible guitar riffs, but he also has the ability to play them perfectly.

9. Randy Rhoads - Was an American heavy metal guitarist who is best known for playing with Ozzy Osbourne. Rhoads was perfect and precise in every note, but did so with a great depth of feeling. Not only could he play the music, but he could write it also.

10. Joe Satriani - Satriani may well be the next stage in the evolution of guitarists. He has the ability to play music when he is goofing off that many guitar players will never be able match, even after years of practice.

While this is by no means the definitive list of the greatest guitar players, and some would disagree with the names on the list, it is an excellent starting point. By listening to accomplished players, those who are learning to play guitar can find their inspiration.

Harmonic Exciters

distortion pedals


A harmonic exciter (or 'enhancer') is often applied to a track during the mastering process to help add that final piece of 'sparkle' to a mix. By applying this type of processing, the overall resolution of the music can be artificially increased, resulting in a sonically brighter final product.

The primary function of a harmonic exciter is to restore or replace any frequencies that may have been compromised or left out altogether during the mixing stage. This can often be attributed to other processing which has been applied to the various tracks, consequently dulling many of the transients due to various changes in phase. One way an enhancer can resolve this issue is to realign the phase of the transients, which helps to restore their definition and therefore increases the general clarity of the music.

Another way that exciters can improve the brightness of sound is to introduce reasonably small amounts of harmonic distortion. Particular frequencies can be targeted by adjusting the controls, and the exciter will treat the sound by subjecting it to second and third order harmonic distortion. This distortion is then mixed back in with the original signal, resulting in a much cleaner and brighter sound.

Many modern harmonic exciter plugins are multi band, which allows the user to apply different amounts of enhancement to different frequencies bands. As the aim of an exciter is to artificially increase the brightness of the high frequencies, and the density of the medium to low frequencies, it is important that these can be treated separately. Multi band variants are therefore very flexible in these situations.

It is important to use enhancers diligently, especially if applied across the whole mastering bus. Overuse of this type of processing can often result in a fatiguing and overtly unnatural sound which is unpleasant to the listener.

Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal

www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal - Drawing on Joe Satriani's knowledge accumulated from decades of groundbreaking performances, both live and in the studio, VOX unveils a breakthrough in guitar tone -- The Vox Satchurator distortion pedal. Designed to Satriani's exact specifications. The Satchurator produces Satriani's signature tone and adds new features and improvements never before combined in a distortion pedal. After almost a year of painstaking experimentation and road testing, Satriani and the VOX R&D team discovered the secrets to capturing the ultimate distortion tone in a modern-day pedal. The Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal is capable of very high gain levels, but operates more quietly and musically than other modern distortion pedals. The Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal also preserves the tone and pick-attack of the guitarist plugging into it, regardless of style, from subtly distorted blues tones through classic rock and shred. The result is a professional-quality pedal that recaptures sought-after vintage and modern sounds in a powerful, versatile and extremely musical pedal design.

overdrive,distortion and fuzz comparision

It is quite difficult understand difference in tone bethween overdrive, distortion and fuzz. Every pedal play different, and same pedal play different with differents amps and guitars, so possibility are countless... and question remain the same. I tried with 3 pedal (Big Buff is not exactly a fuzz, but play is a very similiar way... and is the only pedal of this kind i got, i'm not in love with fuzz) same pattern with different pickup and style solution. Setting are different from pedal to pedal, but are quite balanced in volume and set to make the own character of the pedal understandble. You can make your own opinion on it. Very short and easy, overdrive in general "make fat" the tone, and preserve most of the original attack of the guitar. Depending on amp and setting, do something like a more cranked tone of same kind. This is especially true when you turn down volume, one of more important things to to to judje anything on electrig guitar stuff (amps, pedals, pickups). Distortion are usually harder in attack, if the pedal is good is anyway dynamic and make the original tone understandble, but even of low distortion values the tone is different and neither at low volume setting became clear and soft as the overdrive. The fuzz has a deep effect of the waveform, it change totally attack of the instrument. Is very dirty, and even if clean up lowering volume (any good pedal should) the break up is quite violent, so depending of style doesn't fit all usage, but is quite ...
