Favourite Guitar CDs

I've only got one of his discs and i'm not that impressed with it, but having seen him play live, i would have to imagine that at least one of the dozen or so releases he has out has got to be pretty good. Who am i talking about ? "Buckethead" of course : )

Honestly though, anybody have any of his releases ? If so, i'd like to hear some suggestions as to what the best that he has to offer would be. The stuff i heard him play and saw him do was pretty phenomenal in both a rockin' / experimental way. He's the kind of guy that can "jam at street level" AND impress a "guitar guru" like Eric Johnson, Satriani, etc... As far as those two go, i'd rather listen to Johnson as Satriani is more "guitar wanking / technique" than "music". As far as that goes, I think that Jeff Beck on a good day blows both of those guys away in both categories ( music & wanking ).

While i think that Jimi was the most innovative / original "rock" guitarist of all time, anyone that wants to know what "metal" guitar sounds like should check out Entombed's "Left Hand Path". Turn it up to "11" and get ready to be "destroyed". If this doesn't make you want to jump around playing air guitar and growl out loud, you're either too old or your stereo sucks : ) Sean

Duane: Thanks for the Buckethead recommendation. As to my comment about "best rock guitarist", i didn't mean to sound like there weren't any others out there that were worth listening to. There are oodles of talented people out there pouring their hearts into their music and it shows. My comment was more to say that i thought that Hendrix did the most to break down barriers and experiment with new sounds / techniques than anybody else. While the guys from Blue Cheer may have pushed the "raw & distorted" sound barrier before Hendrix, they didn't have anywhere near the finesse or style to go along with their "bazooka blast".

As far as my comment about Entombed goes, i listed the wrong album. Rather than "Left Hand Path", i should have said "Clandestine". Much "heavier" sounding. Sean
