In my 67 years of living, 54 of them playing lead guitar in pro and semi pro bands, I have never been so impressed with a guitarist as I am with Joel, absolute genius !

@VStrom2019 2 жыл бұрын

@Andy Butler listened to all of them but that doesn’t alter my opinion. Guitar playing is not a competition and no two guitarists in the world can play like each other. My opinion is as said, never been more impressed with another guitarist.

Jean-Paul Haesen joel is at the very top!!!! Ive been playing lead guitar for 22yrs. Pretty hard to impress me cuz alot of players are shit live. But joel.... he NEVER makes a mistake!!! One of the most flawless guitarists ive ever seen. I would without a doubt put him as one of the best pound for pound guitarists walking the planet. Unbelievable what he can do and how clean his licks are!!

What's most amazing isn't the shredding, it's the soul, the bends, the vibrato (at 2:20) that really stand out to me. That and the ability to play so many styles so well and the whole musicality of his solo are what really make him phenomenal.
