Yeah at this point. Some terrible recommendations jeez.Are we just naming country guitar players?
Maybe I just don’t get the premise. I don’t see how anybody can parallel Vai. And not because his ability/talent, but because of the limitations of the genre.
Zappa got it right with the New Age version of The Black Page:I have no idea why I was thinking of this, but for some reason I was wondering:
Is there an equivalent guitar player in country music who is like Steve Vai?
I guess: technically proficient and sort of whacky?
I have no idea why I was thinking of this.
I know that I don’t usually associate much current country w/ instrumental music- which is Vai’s forte.
I just don’t honestly know many current country guitarist ( or artists, honestly)
I know there is a good history of country guitar players who are really good guitarists... was just sort of wondering....
There are scores of players who are better technicians than Vai. Scores. Jeff Loomis comes immediately to mind.Of all the ones mentioned so far, I think Chet Atkins comes closer although Chet is more musical than Steve Vai, who is one of the best technical players on the planet at the moment and maybe the best.
Here is a great session player that no one has mentioned, likely because he is just quietly an excellent player.
I can't believe you missed it.I can't believe no one has mentioned Vince Gil yet.
Great mention! I’ve got it on now.This is pretty "Vai-like".
Andy Woods may fit that description. He's funny, witty and knows his theory! He's playing with "Rascal Flats."I have no idea why I was thinking of this, but for some reason I was wondering:
