Guitar playing magic

When you see such a crazy guitarist playing guitar riffs and solos behind their backs, or with their teeth, or even over the neck, is such a sight to see.

Not only does it look cool and fancy, it shows that there are unlimited ways to
rip out an ultimate solo that looks far from, normal guitar playing.

All it takes is practice, try playing solo licks in these positions slowly at first, and you will find that it is no so hard, after a little practice.

What about the Vocal guitarists

Now, while you still have the neck shredding speed freaks on one side, you still got the wicked vocal guitarists, such as James Heifield, Jimi Hendrix, Chris Cornell, Billy Armstrong, Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Shihads John Toogood, and so on...

The ability to play guitar while belting out vocals is definitely an awesome talent in itself. You could probably say its a different breed/style of guitarists, but once you have got your guitar playing firing on all cylinders, singing vocals as well, is definitely the next level of guitar.

The guitarist on guitar players

The guitarist on guitar players
Joe satriani, Steve vai, Jimi hendrix, Eddie van halen, Nuno bettencourt, Yngwie malmsteen and many others rank way up there when it comes to shredding up the the guitar like no other,

and also guitarist on fire, that have created influential songs of art, players such as Eric clapton, Brian may, Santana, B B King, Angus young, Slash, jimi page, "Dimebag" darrell, just to name a few, the list goes on and on.

What sets them apart is their original ability to sound their own, branching off in new directions that ultimately gives them there own uniqueness of playing the guitar like no one else can.

The best way i found to create your own original sound or material is to mix things up a bit, experiment with the boundaries of what you already know.

It could be little suttle experiments you do when playing your riffs, mellodies, lead breaks or even your own classical, that will create your own original unique style and sound that you can call your own, most of all though, it has to be catchy and authentic, that is only recognized as by you.
