[QUOTE="GunnyHath"]Absolutely, Stevie Ray was and is the man, but as far as bass players go, Tommy was pretty amazing, and very underrated (as most bass players are). It takes just as much talent to play, but they don't get the recognition as often.EboyLOL
Yes, and just for clarification, when I said that SRV 'overshadowed' him I meant that he took priority on the stage, not that Tommy paled in comparison to Stevie.

Where's the love for Bass players? :(OPRFWrestler112
Bass guitar is still guitar as far as im concerned, it's just missing the two highest strings (in the 4 string case), so you can definitely fall under the Yes I rock out category guys :)
Watched that Jason Becker video, he is very good, not as clean as some players, but very good nonetheless. A little of that classical piece is in the famous guitar duel at the end of the movie Crossroads.
I have too many pictures of my guitars to clutter the thread, but if anyone wants to see them here they are:
Hey Bass counts, Bass is cool too. I have played bass a couple times, I'm no expert with a bass though. I forgot to mention I like all genres except Jazz really, but I do respect Jazz players.
Guitar influences, SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Kirk Hammet, Jimmy Page, Tommy Emmanuel, Billy Gibbons, Don Felder, and many others.
I thought I would make a thread for the guitarists out there on Gamespot. Gather as you will and share your stories and post some pictures of your guitars ! :) BASS Guitarists are guitarists too! :)
Are you in bands? How long have you been playing? What's your favorite genre or music to play?
I joined the guitar union myself, but it was dead by the time I got there. If anyone wants to start up a new Guitar Players union, maybe we can organize one.
Rock on ! :P
*EDIT* Look for the "Guitar Players Union" in the next few days or so (need 3 more people to charter before I can start it).
I watched all three E3 streams this year, beginning to end, and somehow missed the Nintendo Emblem. I know this because I went out of my way to bring my laptop to work to stream these events, except the first one which I watched the night before. I'm hoping to get this rectified if possible. Thanks.
