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]

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...
