Most guitarists seem to want to get as many notes in the solo as possible where as Edgar tries to get as much emotion as he can in. I remember the first time I saw TD, way back in 1980, and Edgar's solo was just awesome, he played like a man possessed. It's a shame that more guitarist don't follow his lead.
Not wrong there Chris - when Edgar's on guitar it often sounds like a narrative to me, like he's talking in notes.
For instance, Hunter Shot by a Yellow Rabbit, first few times I didn't get it - sounded like he was just riding the chords but then it swapped amd seemed like the chords were just fitting in with what he was saying,
I'll get me hipster-coat
I agree with you.
But to say that most guitarists other than EF try to play as many notes as possible is a "fan boy"-talk, eh?
David Gilmour is of course the master in this. His latest solo album, On An Island, may be underrated by some, but there you really have the master!
The late Gary Moore's blues albums are aboslutely pure gold!
God bless him.
Mark Knopfler's
solo albums.
Steve Rothery of Marillion; oh, what a guitarist!
There are many, many more.
But yes, Edgar Froese is good. But he is also good at electronics.
