I've used to listen to some of his albums when I was more into Neoclassical Shred. I've used to enjoy more his songs than his solos (which is not a bad thing at all!).
Some weeks ago I noticed that we don't have lessons covering his style, so maybe I can go for it! As we are talking about neoclassical rockers, let me share with you my favorite from Argentina: Walter Giardino (Rata Blanca, Temple) -------------------- My lessons

Axel Rudi Pell: “F**k You, I’m Not The German Yngwie” Has anyone compared you to Yngwie? ARP: In the beginning about 20 years ago, they said you’re the German Yngwie. I said, fuck you. I’m not the German Yngwie and I’ll tell you the difference. Years ago, my intention was to be one of the fastest guitar players in the world. This is absolute bullshit because Yngwie writes the solo and does the solo around the song. When I write a song the solo is part of the song. I don’t sit there and be like let’s see how fast I can wank on the fretboard. Sometimes you can say more in three notes more than a bunch. Who influenced you the most to play the guitar? ARP: Definitely Richie Blackmore. His notes and style are excellent. This post has been edited by Victor Simion: Jul 20 2020, 10:53 AM -------------------- |

I mostly see him like a German Blackmore.

Yes, like he said and also like I said he is influenced by Blackmore very much. But I think that technically Blackmore is a better guitar player. What do you think? When talking about art, it's impossible to say that one artist is better than the other. This means I can't say that any guitarist is better than other one. Each guitar player has its own voice, and even when we notice big influences, there may be differences based on personality, tastes, experiences, and so... One thing that I can assure that Blackmore has been more influential because he was part of one the most popular hard rock bands ever. -------------------- My lessons

Id say he's way more technical than Blackmore just in general. Then again, Blackmore was never really a very technical player IMHO. He is more of a 'RIFF GOD" type of player than a "SOLO GOD" type of guy it seems to me Maybe by current standards but in the early 70s he (Blackmore) was the prototype and ground zero for everything speedy in rock lead guitar that followed. And he did it without a lot of gain on a Strat with vintage output pkups. Check him out starting at 3:45. Cool harmony, great bending, beautifully composed 'neo' classical melody years before anybody even called it that, unique phrasing and then that string of 16th note pull-offs that doesn't let up for 20 full measures. He had to play that all in one pass. No snapping to the grid or microscopic punch-ins back then. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jul 22 2020, 05:08 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Yes, art and music is subjective, that's why I said technically. I like both guitar players very much, but still there are objective things that can be said about playing guitar, that's why it is possible to rate someone's play. Yes, but even rating is subjective. If we talk only about technique, there are so many elements to consider like alternate picking, legato, vibrato, dynamics, timing, groove, articulation, cleanness, hands sync, tone and I could continue... I should go really deeper with the analysis between both them to define if any of them is better than there other "technically". In some sense they come from the same 70s standards (as klassaine said), so they may be very close (again) technically. As I don't know Axel's stuff deeply, so I can't say too much, but I wonder if there is 1 solo by him that amazes me as much as Highway Star or Burn. I suspect that your question is more related to shredding (fast passages). If you compare them to newer shredders, these standards have changed, since EVH appeared, then Malmsteen, and then guys like Gilbert and Petrucci. Their picking is more precise and cleaner, but this doesn't make them "better players"... they play a different style or represent a different guitar era. By the way, I feel that comparing guitarists like Blackmore, Hendrix, Beck, Page and all those legends among them and with others doesn't take anywhere. Enjoy the guitarists that you love, learn from them. This solo is a masterpiece by itself... -------------------- My lessons

Not too mention, can you write a song or a solo or be part of a band that is still revered 50 years after the fact - ? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I've watched that video carefully and I can say that I hear pitch issues here and there, and that many fast lines don't sound clean. It seems that his hands don't go totally synchronized during fast sections.
Personally I don't enjoy when guitarists play without considering the chord progression sounding in the background, and that's what I hear is happening here. Following the chords is not only a jazz approach, all my favorite blues/rock/metal guitarists do it (consciously or unconsciously) most of the time when soloing. -------------------- My lessons
