Title: Pretty Good List. Post by: stroh on October 27, 2007, 10:37:30 AM Top 20 coolest guitar licks.
Took a guess, and I hit about 60 percent before watching it. _i1_TN8whrc Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: Seamus on October 27, 2007, 10:47:26 AM Damn fine list.
Any list that includes Mark Knopfler is Ok in my book. I think he's a dang fine and very under rated guitarist. Kashmir- my all time Zep fave song. Mean Streets- my all time VH fave song. Bulls on Parade- my all time RATM fave song. You'll always have arguments for and against any particulars on a list like this, but anytime you can name a song just from a few chords on the guitar obviously the artist has done their job. Thumbs up! Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: spacey on October 27, 2007, 11:03:02 AM I have to take exception to any list of greatest anything that includes Nirvana, Lenny Kravitz, Skynyrd, and Zepplin (twice!).
Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: spacey on October 27, 2007, 11:09:20 AM Oh, and any list of great guitar licks absolutely must include at least one of any number of classics from Dave Murray and/or Adrian Smith:

"i want my MPG." Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: gleek on October 27, 2007, 11:19:57 AM I'll take a guess on a few:
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water Cream - Sunshine of Your Love Black Sabbath - Iron Man Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man Beatles - Day Tripper Beatles - Helter Skelter Derek and the Dominoes - Layla Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama Allman Brothers Band - Ramblin' Man CCR - Fortunate Son The Kinks/Van Halen - You Really Got Me (might be considered more of a riff than a lick) Michael Jackson - Beat It Rick James - Super Freak Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: Aske on October 27, 2007, 11:27:03 AM some ridiculous *feces* in there (especially early ). some of those can be picked up within 30 minutes by someone who has never even touched an axe before

Post by: gleek on October 27, 2007, 11:34:30 AM Man, that list had too much *feces* from the late 80s/early 90s.

Post by: stroh on October 27, 2007, 11:35:12 AM some ridiculous *feces* in there (especially early ). some of those can be picked up within 30 minutes by someone who has never even touched an axe before I think that was the basis for the list. "coolist" licks --> most recognizable (like Seamus said). Not best guitarist of all time. Not best rock song evar. Title: Re: Pretty Good List.

Not best rock song evar. ok then, my interpretation of cool was wrong then :'( i bet i could teach anyone here that manson lick in 3 minutes. tops. Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: birdymaker on October 27, 2007, 11:43:03 AM man do i miss RATM. :'(
Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: MFAWG on October 27, 2007, 12:44:46 PM I suspect 6 is only on there because of who it is.
I'd replace it with this opening riff: Ci5SZx3VI_U Or: AEq62iQo0eU Actually, how that opening ISN'T on the list is a travesty now that I think about it. Title: Re: Pretty Good List. Post by: stroh on October 27, 2007, 01:12:34 PM Werd!
