TOP 5 Neoclassical Shred Guitarists
Рет қаралды 38,507
Күн бұрынIn this video we look at our personal top 5 neoclassical guitar shredders. We have stuck with the "traditional" neoclassical shredder which means the likes of Jeff Loomis, Michael Romeo etc. don't feature.
That being said there is still a wide array of fantastic players. Don't forget to let us know in the comments if your favourite traditional neoclassical player is not in the list!
Here are our choices:
0:29 - George Bellas
2:37 - Joe Stump
5:23 - Vinnie Moore
8:06 - Jason Becker
11:51 - Yngwie Malmsteen

I love neoclassical, but the more I listen to shred outside of that, like Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth, fusion stuff, I'm hearing stuff not only faster than Yngwie and most neoclassical shredders, but just more amazing, like huge interval stuff, use of more interesting chords and scales. Its a pretty big rabbit hole but once your onto jazz fusion its like a whole different world opens up. A notable mention for an early classical infusion should be Randy Rhoads, as Paul Gilbert put it, while Yngwie often sounds like he is "battling pirates" Randy sounded like high aristocracy complete with the white wigs and fancy clothing. Mr. Crowley was definitely a strong contribution to Neoclassical without excessive speed, pushing the sound more towards a very dark eerie sinister vibe, especially the end chord progression that is allegedly a nod to Gary Moore's Parisienne Walkways.

Very well created list!👍YNGWIE MALMSTEEN is clearly the number#1 hands down . He has the X-Factor: a mix of speed, clarity, precision, vintage looseness and Godlike Vibrato that's second to none.🤘 Jason Becker cites him as influence, He also played "Blackstar" in a high school talent show.. George Bellas and Joe Stump would not admit it but they are "closet" Yngwie fanboys.😂😁copying Yng's hair, looks, fashion style and the two even have the same "Banana Yellow" Strat guitar. Joe's signature guitar looks very much like a Yngwie's Yellow Fender Strat, but he went with ESP to construct it and not make it so obvious.😁 hahaha. lastly NeoClassical sounds the best among the genres you posted here. Cheers mate!🔥

Jason was influenced but he was also a clear original unlike the others you mentioned.

Could rank him as the GOAT depending on your preferred genre but Jason did suffered ALS so his trajectory was cut short. I prefere strict NeoClassical so I put Yngwie on top as Number 1, but in overall shredding heirarchy.

Traveled to Chicago from a small town in South Africa where I live to do a 7 day intensive course with George Bellas. One of the greatest experiences in my life, George is a genius and super down to earth and friendly. It was insane how fast his mind works and when he picks up the guitar all those fluent phrases just flows without any warming up or adjustment. Simply a genius, I actually think he had to dumb himself down for me 😂 I'm no dummy by any stretch of the imagination.

Yngwie J. Malmsteen is the Best IMHO.👌 Every aspiring shredder should and must learn "Far Beyond the Sun" or his Alcatrazz solo "Jet to Jet" and many other songs like "Marching Out", "Brothers" and "Trilogy Suite Number 5." They are all epic. Even Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal said that he forget how to play his songs but will not forget how to play Yngwie songs because it's "awesome stuff". While Guthrie Govan said among the 80's shredders, Yngwie is the one that really impressed him in the technical stand point. He's our idols guitar idol!......Maestro Yngwie FTW!💯

While music shouldn't be a contest, it would still be worth it (and honest) to mention the great Uli Jon Roth, who Yngwie often mentions as influence and Hendrix himself called the best guitarist he had ever seen/heard.

("the only reason why JB is not number 1" - narrator) Thats also what I said: Tony is NOT a strict NeoClassical player because he played mostly with Vai in a rock context, and his other albums are Fusion especially Cab1 and 2, while his "Concrete Garden" album is like heavy metal.

Then Premonition was imho his heaviest release before going 7-8 string… Evolution was a great follow up to Premonition, and was slightly smoother in guitar tone… all that being said, and speaking from personal experience, it can get really monotonous and boring having to stick to just one style for decades… we all in private time may play many different styles, but sometimes you just gotta give the fans what they want

Shred I can take or leave.Yngwie has incredible technique but,heres the thing.Listen to any of Yngwie's latest work and it sounds dated.Very much 80's speed metal.Listen to any of Blackmore Purple/Rainbow era and its as fresh as the day it was recorded-assuming it WAS fresh then and he wasnt in a sulk.The difference?Songs.Great,memorable songs.Yngwie hasnt written any.Blackmore has a load of them.I'll take that.

Missing Michael Romeo and Michael Angelo Batio? Shame.

There’s only really one. Yngwie started it all, and no one ever did it better.

One of my all-time favorite instrumental guitar pieces is the SPECTACULARLY beautiful(imo) "Je'Taime" by Joe Stump. Check out his insanely melodic outro solo. Vinnie Moore has continued to release awesome instrumental guitar releases(his latest is part instrumental/part vocal) but all awesome. He no longer plays "neo-classical" style and has morphed into a blues-based hard rock/metal/funk mixture that is badass. You forgot TONY MACALPINE! How? Right now... Go listen to his "Maximum Security" album. 🙄I would re-release or update this list and drop Bellas. Or make it a six-pack! 😂

Yeah, Vinnie is great. I have every single one of his CDs that he's ever put out, including his newest release - Double Exposure.

I think the others are just making noise compared to malmsteen :) malmsteen is numero uno as Schwarzenegger would have said

Yes, others shred too meteric, they can't laid back or rubato like Yngwie..
