Indie Kid with a twist. I believe drive when used right clocks the song and a solo when needed makes the song a million times better. Btw use Vox amps! Nothing beats a Vox
I spent 2 hours passionately explaining the theory behind the jazzy chords I used in a song to my brother who plays drums... And then we went full on chunka chunka and played some Slipknot together.
I consider myself a sludge player. Detuned, heavy riffs, dissonant chords, lots of distortion, somber melodies, bends, slides, and trills. Fuzz. Too slow to play metal. Too dirty and chunky and play with oodles of delay and reverb. Solos are more simple melodies with heavy sounding sustained notes. Tempo is a suggestion. The rhythm is guided by the voices in my head.
@@TonisGuitarHangout Alice in Chains, Ministry, Deftones, White Zombie, Pantera.. that's kinda where I look to hang my hat with guitar, not really Boomer stuff you know, not really indie, not all out Metal, but a mix of blues, metal, industrial, heavy punishing riffs
You can also identify the boomer guitarist by their high level of skill combined with the ability to write actual melodies. I think the Artificial Modern and Fusion players are highly skilled but everything sounds like a practice exercise and not a song. At any rate, I enjoyed the list. All in fun.
@@IronValorantClips we all have our issues 😂 just kidding. Honest opinion, it's good to know where you, where you want to lead to and how to get there. After all that's all what matters
I don't see myself as any of these (but I recognise the types, for sure). Now I'm having an existential crisis; do I just sell my guitars, or pick one of the types (yeah, no, not the boomer) and go for it?
6-string Standard tuning 70s & 80s Metal and Punk Mostly power chords with ripping solos BC Rich, Charvel, Ibanez. Peavey & Crate Amps I use amps and sometimes a processor pedal. No effect except for a Wah. Only High Gain. Never clean sounds Hairline is gone so hair is no longer long but not bald either Never got into drinking or drugs So...... not really completely any of them
Cool video, I have always been the square peg trying to fit in. True influential guitarists for me is very long and a wide spectrum. Toni Iommi, Alex Lifeson, Pat Metheny, Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore, Eddie Van Halen, Devin Townsend, Jason Becker, Marty Friedmen, Eric Johnson, Randy Rhoads, Chris Impellitteri, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Neal Schon, Carlos Santana, Steve Howe, Steve Lukather, Robert Fripp, etc.!
Indie kid with a twist. Overdrive, fuzz, a chorus and a multi delay unit. Into an AC 15(wish it was an AC30). If I need to be loud I’ll get loud. Solos will be awesome in the right context. I prefer to use arppegios and slides, a bend if needed. I’m an indie kid who loves other types of music more than actual indie lol
Well i have a Jaguar with lots of switches, and a reverb pedal coming in the mail today. I may have fallen asleep last night thinking about alternate chord choices in relation to open strings.
I think Guthrie and Matthias Eklundh would probably stereotypically in the "sophisticated fusion" category but I think they're just in the category of "the guitar is an extension of their body".
I'm definitely a boomer rocker for solos and depending on what the song calls for Indi Kid most of the time and a punk rocker sometimes (For rhythm only for obvious reasons) Yeah
I'd probably call myself indie player by these standards. Had a boomer rocker teacher that I didn't mesh well with because I was more late steely dan and yacht rock in my teen years than floyd and zeppelin, both of whom I never have and still have negligible interest in (Gilmour live in Pompeii is top 10 but thats the exception). Got a new teacher that played in a local alt band that I actually like and it made a world of difference. Very into black metal and shoegaze currently. I have an appreciation for insanely well phrased solos but I don't find myself practicing soloing that much, mostly super chordy stuff reminiscent of "Aja" and Brook Benton.
List is accurate. I'm the boomer rocker with some strong opinions, but aspirations towards sophisticated fusion. Unfortunately, I lack the ability... 😕
I’m a chanka chanka I do like low tunings but I love experimenting with every tuning the farthest I’ll go with strings is 8 strings but I like more of the melodic stuff
Great video? Is the mic in some kind of stereo setting? Every time you say like "Both" or really accentuate one letter i can hear it passing from one hear to another!
Toni you're old? You don't even have grey hair man. But let me add the 7th player. Me. I don't care what era of music it is. Ive been playing 39 years now and if it's good I will listen to it as well as play it, and I don't snub my nose to people like all these others do. I was raised in the 70's and I was taught that all music as long as it sounds good is good. You are no better than anyone else and all this group shit has only torn humanity apart. Music was meant to bring us together. It makes me wonder if there really ever was evolution in the sense of people becoming less of snobs.
@@DreidMusicalX color my hair and Botox is working pretty well, thanks and calling me a snob makes you not less of a snob. Btw. If you watch and listen carefully you might hear a slight voice that whispers: satirically
@@TonisGuitarHangout I never outright called you the snob. I called the generations who believe in this the snobs. And there are plenty. Myself. I love most all music from nearly any era. Its what music was for was to bring us together.
@@DreidMusicalX ohhhh, I have to apologize. I hope you accept it🙏 I completely misread your comment! I have to work on myself to not take critique too personal. Well, I agree...after all it's about the music and not the ego. If the music is good who are we to judge who's playing the music
How could you not add the 5150 to the chunka chunka player?! Thats literally their most common (yes I know its preamp section is the SLO, its the PA were the magic happens)
Actually, I love your analysis. Lots of truth there. The 7th category: Guys who play melodies (and counter melodies) that support and intensify the vibe of the tune. Guitar preference: Stratocaster Amp preference: Mesa Boogie. Effects: Amp reverb (modest). Digital delay (slight). No tone effects boxes. Live performance example: czcams.com/video/i38qD81XPPI/video.html
>Any sweep is a rebellion against these old-school fash(ion)ists That's why I laugh at them in Jason Becker. Heck, Yngwie *kind of* had a thing for them, one could say... Glad my guitarist type wasn't on the list, tbh.
Literally all the eighties guitar heroes were fond of sweeps, I think (no offense) this guy was pretty inaccurate on the artificial modern ones. Disjointed riffs that move a lot on the neck, harmonics, 8 fingers tapping, and thumping are more distinct techniques from them.
What category is James Hetfield ? Riffing while singing and using a lot of heavy downpicking ? I think im in the category of the "frontman guitarist" . Defenitely this category exists and many guitarists belong in it .
I’m 17 and definitely a boomer rocker 😭

Is the Prog Death guy considered artificial modern infused with sophisticated? If so, that's me lol
Good question. I don't make the rules 😂
I identify nyself as a mixed race between Indie kid/boomer rocker... Like a Shredding Indie kid.

You forgot surf guitarists. they combine all those things

I'll stick with the sophisticated fusion players and avoid the other five types of noise makers.

Boomer rocker, I grew up in the 70s and 80s. We had the best music, hands down! There will never be a greater generation! LOL!!! Great video!
