1. eddie van halen (eddie van halen)
Born on1957,65438+126 October, this Dutch-American is the lead guitarist of Van halen (Fan Hailun) and the idol of countless heavy metal fans. His profound knowledge and innovative spirit are a model for a new generation of guitarists. In the late 1970s, the rapid fingering of strings was initiated, which had a far-reaching influence. The first album of the same name, VANHAL-EN I, is one of the most important albums in the history of heavy metals, and the following albums, 5 150 and O-U8 12, are also great successes, but Eddie's guitar playing in it is greatly reduced, and he is more focused on keyboard playing, which may be related to the addition of guitarist and lead singer Sammy Hager. In the 1990s, Eddie Van Hal-en was still tirelessly active in the rock music scene. If you don't believe me, you'll know what a master is by listening to his performance in Humen Existence and his worship in the film soundtrack album Tornado. Representative works: Van halen I Van Helen I Van Helen II Van Helen II.
2. Slant (slash)
If Axl goes up (Axl Sol? Ross) is half of GUNS NROSES(XXXXX), so Slash is the other half. Axl Rose's wild singing and Slash's roaring guitar interweave a wonderful noise effect: wild and full of life, radical and aggressive. Guitar is like a gun in his hand, accurate and sharp. Friends who have watched November Rain MTV will be deeply impressed by Slash's guitar solo in front of the church. Due to the difference in creative direction with Axl Rose, Slash has left GUNS NROSES to develop independently and released a solo album "Its 5 Clock Somewhere" ("Somewhere at 5 o'clock").
Representative works: Desire to Destroy, Use Your Illusion II, Use one or two of your illusions.
3. Steve van (Steve Fan En)
Trained by Joe Satriani, Steve van joined a rock band at the age of 13, and took music as his lifelong career. He has been trained by many bands such as Frank Zapp-Pa, David Lee Ross and White Snake, and his skills are beyond reproach. Steve van, who has been through many battles, has reached the realm of the integration of piano and human beings. His greatest feature is to maximize the effect of the electric guitar in his hand. The album PASSION ANDWA***RE (War and Passion) released by 1990 was awarded as the best guitar playing album of the year, which is a necessary teaching material for every piano learner. Representative works: War and Passion and Love Secrets of Aliens (Mysterious Aliens).
Kirk Hammett (Kirk? Hammett)
METALLICA has now become synonymous with heavy metal music, and each of their albums is a classic. Deep thoughts, rigorous melody, exquisite skills and tacit cooperation make them unique and outstanding among many heavy metal bands. As the lead guitarist of Metal Band, Kirk Hammett has been living in the lead singer James Hetfield. Heidfeld) and drummer Lars Ulrich (Lars? In the shadow of ulrich), but no one can deny his important role in the band. If you don't believe me, listen to the guitar solo in One. Melody can definitely make you doubt the meat in March. In the 1990s, Kirk Hammett gradually took part in the creation of band songs, and many of his works can be heard in 1996' s LOAD and 1997' s RELOAD. This change, combined with the change of the band's image and style, means that METALLICA has gradually integrated into the mainstream. Masterpiece: "... and justice for all" is fair to all "metal" metals.
5. Nuno Bettencourt (Nuno? Betancourt)
Remember the precise sound cutting performance of Nuno Bettencourt holding an acoustic guitar in the black and white MTV work MoreThan Words by EXTREME? Whether it is his delicate face, melancholy temperament, exquisite piano skills or humble personality, Nuno B-Etenkur has reason to be the darling of music critics and fans. He performed well in the band debut of 1989, and the next two albums show NunoBettencourt's ambition: to create a rock music that combines blues, funk, art rock and heavy metal. As the most outstanding representative of the new generation of guitarists, his skillful skills and endless creativity are enough to make him invincible in the music world. After the dissolution of Extreme, people placed higher expectations on solo Nuno.
Representative works: PORNOGRAFFITTI, erotic pictures, three sides of each story, three aspects of the story.
6. Yngwie Malmsteen (Ying Wei? Mamustin)
This Swede used to be the guitarist with the fastest playing speed and the strongest classical charm in European and American music circles. There are countless fans who worship him all over the world, especially in Japan, and he is known as the god of guitar. Turning over the copy of YngwieMalmsteen's record, the only music master who deserves his thanks is jimi hendrix (Jimmy? Hendricks) and Paganini (Paganini, 1782- 1840, the leading violin master, also equivalent to the guitarist laigna). Ingrid malm Stein Series (Ingrid? Mamustin's works are worth listening to repeatedly by every guitarist. In recent years, with the rise of a new generation of guitarists, Yngwie Malmsteen has gradually faded out, but his strength cannot be ignored. Maybe the next attack will bring you unexpected surprises.
Representative works: fire and ice trilogy of fire and ice
7.Joe Satriani (Joe? Sterling)
As a master of Kirk Hammett and Steve van, Joe Satriani's reputation is far less prominent than that of his apprentice. However, many of his guitar solo albums have fulfilled an old saying: ginger is still old and spicy. Compared with his two apprentices, Joe Satriani's playing style is fast but not intense, and he is unique in the handling of adagio works. Joe Satriani's music is strongly religious. In The Big Bad M-oon (Bad Moon), the feminine guitar performance combined with his deep voice creates a strange atmosphere, and he is called a guitar wizard. 1994, Joe Satriani announced that he would replace another veteran guitarist, Ricky Blackmore (Ricky? Blackmore) position, to join the DEEP PURPLE (Deep Purple) band, but so far there is no action, I wonder if his arrival can make the band reproduce its former glory. Representative works: Surfing with Aliens and Surfing with Aliens Time Machine.
8. Paul Gilbert (Paul Gilbert)
Although Mr. Da has only released four studio records, he already has a large number of fans. Being with you (with you) has become the best embodiment of metal tenderness, among which lead guitarist PaulGilbert has contributed. The first two albums fully demonstrated his deep blues skills. In subsequent works, Paul gradually increased the frequency and plucked the strings faster, and has replaced Ingrid malm Stern as the fastest guitarist in heavy metal music. By the way, in Only Love, Paul Gilbert tried to play violin, piano and even more timbres on the guitar, which fully demonstrated his amazing imagination and superb piano skills. Representative works: "Mr. Big" Mr. Big "BUMPAHEAD" rushes forward.
9. eric johnson (Eric? Johnson)
Compared with other heavy metal guitarists, eric johnson's music seems to be a little mild and soothing, full of reason and lacking passion, which may be related to his less band practice. Eric has a solid foundation, skills but is not too ostentatious. His guitar playing is full of changes, and his personalized performance in details is even more fascinating. Different from others, eric johnson is also a famous blues guitarist. He is no less accomplished on the xylophone than the electric piano, and he is a veritable all-round guitarist. Representative works: tone, timbre, AH VIA MUSICOM, music graduation.
10. Dave Mastej (David? Mastan)
If the above nine guitarists really live up to their reputation, it will be difficult to choose the last one. Because every heavy metal band has at least one excellent guitarist, Robb beach(Rob? Bitz), Richie Corson of Poison (Lizzie? Ketterson), Alex Scolnic (Alex? Scolnic) performed well in their respective bands and was well received. But in the end, I chose Dave Mastaine from MEGADETH. After leaving Metal Band, he formed MEGADETH, determined to compete with Metal Band. As a representative figure of speed metal, he seems to have infinite power. He created an impassable speed world with his electric guitar. Listen to MEGADETH's music, and you will know what it is like to be out of breath. In the mid-1990s, Dave Mastaine declared that he would break away from the original speed metal camp and create a new metal world. Let's have high hopes for him.
Masterpiece: "Peace sells ... but WHO is buying?" Sell peace, but who will buy it? Raster ·INPEACE is decadent and peaceful.
