John Sykes fans stand up and be counted!

One of fav guitarists! Love John Sykes' incredible vibrato and harmonious solos.
So underrated... I never got credit for putting Whitesnake on the map in the 80s! Grrr!

I picked up his Blue Murder CD the other day. I hadn't heard it much since I owned only the vinyl, but this thing kicks ass.
Next week my teacher will go over some the riffs from the album with me. Can't wait. Maybe I'll post my poor attempt at sounding like Sykes... [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Did you not hear my fave solos competition? He was one of the solo's on 'Out of LOve'. Awesome guitarist...saw him in July with Lizzy in London. He was walking down Oxford Street with his Mum in combats!

Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck on a black custom thru a really old coupla Marshall Supers...oh and those fingers as well. He makes the sound that the guy in Spinal Tap describes when he's discussing sustain! Him and Zakk and Pettrelli...whoooooo hoooo (thats the noise I'm on about!)

No problem...I think its great switching people on to stuff they may not have heard. ARK is still a current fave of mine. I can send some if you like.

You like ARK too? Jorn Lande is the best! Did you buy his solo album, Worldchanger? I play that one all the time too, along with the two ARK releases.
What about Masterplan? Jorn sing in it too and it's great hard rock...
