4 TECHNIQUES, 4 GUITARISTS WHO OWN THEM Tapping: Eddie Van Halen. he didn't invent it but he made it his. Eruption dropped in 1978 and every guitarist on earth suddenly wanted to know how he was making that sound with both hands on the neck. if you're learning to tap, you start here. Funk rhythm: Nile Rodgers nobody makes three muted strings sound funkier. his whole style is tiny chord fragments high up the neck, played with insane right hand control. Le Freak, Good Times, Get Lucky, that's all him. the master of playing less and grooving more. Effects as an instrument: Tom Morello most players use pedals to shape their tone. Morello uses them to make a guitar sound like a DJ, a siren, a helicopter. the toggle switch chops, the whammy dives, and suddenly it's not a guitar anymore. the king of making non-guitar noises. Feel and bending: David Gilmour he'll never win a speed contest and he doesn't care. Gilmour makes a single bent note say more than most players say in a whole solo. if you want to learn that every note counts, and that space is an instrument too, he's the one to study.
