Joe Walsh has had so many catchy hits in his life on his own, but early on in his career he was part of the James Gang. His wah work on the song Walk Away is a lot of fun to listen to. In addition to being a killer guitar player, his tone on tracks like Rocky Mountain Way and Life’s Been Good are just beautiful. Check out his Real McCoy signature w...
Vernon Reid, best known for his work in Living Colour, is such an exciting player. Just listen to him on the song Cult of Personality, or really any of the songs on the Vivid album. That album still holds up, and even though Reid’s sound is so "of the time", it still sounds killer. I’ll never forget meeting Vernon at a clinic in Paramus, NJ. He shr...
I had a hard time not including Dave Navarro on this list, but to be honest, John Frusciante really is the guitar player you think of when thinking of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Frusciante is one of many guiarists who’s heavily influenced by Hendrix, and his use of Strats and other gear related to Hendrix really shines through in his sound. Fruscia...
Jeff Beck has reinvented himself so many times over the past couple of decades, but some things have always stayed consistent. He has unique production, he employs the use of his whammy bar to great effect, he makes magic happen without a guitar pick and he tastefully uses effects throughout his songs. His wah playing is all over his earlier albums...
Mike McCready has literally made stages shake at Madison Square Garden, and has impressed loads of guitarists when it “wasn’t cool” to solo back in the grunge era. The lead guitarist for Pearl Jam has used wah a ton throughout his career, but his most famous wah song with PJ has to be Even Flow. Check out that song and the rest of the iconic early ...
If anyone’s playing has ever been talked about as slithery and smooth, it has to be Slash. His work with Guns 'n Roses, Velvet Revolver and Slash's Snakepit has always been amazing, and it’s great to see him back out on the road, and still kicking ass. He’s made some of the most memorable riffs out of the 5 pentatonic boxes, and he’s also been a ma...
Mr. Slowhand himself is another guitarist who’s stood the test of time. Whether that be on his own, his time in the Yardbirds, Derek and the Dominos, or with the band Cream, he’s always made memorable riffs. One of the most memorable has to be White Room from Cream, a classic wah song. If you’re looking for even more legendary playing, check out hi...
John Petrucci is one of those players that’s just scary good. Whether it be his playing, or even his warm up exercises, he always seems like he's on another level. I remember painstakingly trying to learn from some of his early lesson videos on VHS! Petrucci has been a force to be reckoned with while in Dream Theater. Not many other guitarists can ...
It seems that every time I’m flipping through Guitar Player magazine, Joe Bonamassa has released a new album. Whether it’s his fun bluesy rock playing, or his staggering collection of vintage guitars, Joe has made a real name for himself in the guitar world. Listen to his beautiful tone, including a ton of wah work on his earliest album, A New Day ...
Although lesser known than some of the players on this list, Michael Schenker has been an inspiration to folks like Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, Dimebag and countless others. Schenker's solo group is a lot of fun, but he’s best known for his time in UFO. His use of the wah pedal, and his awesome Flying V guitars are classic Schenker. Give UFO’s Bes...
