These are some of the best underrated guitarists who are STILL influencing our guitar playing today!
We learn how Warren DeMartini's vibrato technique helped him stand out from teh plethora of 80s guitarists and how Izzy Stradlin of Guns N' Roses laid back rock and roll swagger, akin to Keith Richards helped GNR sound ike a rock band, NOT a metal band!
We also find out how Steve Stevens achieved that bass and treble riff on 'Rebel yell' and why his techniques are so important today and how we can use tehse Steve Stevens techniques to write riffs.
We also get to see how CC DeVille of poison used his whammy bar to add scoops in his solos and riffs - a great technique from one of the most underrated guitarists!
We also get some techniques and habits of Richie Sambora, showing how this technique completely changed the way we can play hammer ons and two finger tapping.
These five guitarists are some of the most underrated guitarists of all time and have made some seriously cool contributions to music with their unique approaches to playing the guitar. Chances are you know them, WITHOUT knowing them!
