Name a Guitar Player Whose Style You Can't Stand!!

[dwk302]

So we all have guitarists whose style we love and ones we just can't stand listening to. For example, I love listening to Gilmour, all the three Kings of blues, SRV, just to name a few. I can't stand listening to Carlos Santana. Some of EVHs stuff also drive me nuts!!

Any of the neo-classical shredders.

Zack Wylde kinda gets on my nerves with the pinch harmonics all the time. I love Danny Gatton, but if I'm in some states of mind I can't take much of it - also kind of rough on the nervous system. Good chunks of the technical metal stuff turns me off - especially the ones with the combo of thin trebley completely overdriven tone and notes whizzing by with no variation in scale, dynamics, or anything else; just a blizzard of meaningless notes.

 

[Jack Gilvey]

Get yer' hate on, y'all!

 

[russiancrowe]

Lots of them, but since I don't listen to them I don't know their names. pretty much any jazz or metal player.

 

[Teh RedWizard]

I know the guy is great,and has been awarded 'god' status,but I just can't get Jeff Beck.

 

[WheelchairBandit]

Can't stand listening to myself. What a hack!

Brian.

[Matt L]

eric clapton. why all the hype? seriously?

Oh,I don't know....could be the fact that he was sort of a pioneer, and people beyond just musicians enjoy his music, among other things.

Get yer' hate on, y'all!

Just about every guitarist with "chops" gets on my nerves after a while. Mike from incubus and Tom from rage against the machine oars my favorites because they seem to meld into the total band sound, rather than stick out

Steve Vai and his teacher to
I did like Steve in the movie "Crossroads" when he was possessed by the devil and lost to Ralph Macchio.

Garcia and Santana.

Yawn.

 

[mike walker]

Why?

 

[Noise Under The Floor]

That guy who's almost always in the guitar shop when you go there (usually Guitar Center) who has the amp cranked up louder than everyone and everything else in the store. Doesn't matter what his style is, he's bad, and annoying as all f'ing hell. You know the guy, you've seen him, you know who I'm talking about.

 

[russ6100]

Why?

The OP is hoping that someone will mention a player that another member loves fanatically, who will then be supremely offended and rush to his defense. If all goes really well, the whole thing will implode and be rife with personal insults and other such things worthy of craning our collective necks at.

[cmatthes]

I think Russ nailed it.
