A lead guitar form is like putting a match (discussion) into a can of gasoline (lead guitarists.)
Seriously....
I love good lead guitar, but if I have to hear an argument about Hendrix's innovation vs. the modern technique of Vai, and which one has been more impactful, and then some guy says Satriani is the bset of all and explains how he taught vai and is a living extension of hendrix. Then someone says "BUCKETHEAD IS THE BEST" and a efw people agree, then someone throws you "Rusty Cooley" and gets a few nods. Then someone suggests Kurt Kobain, and they all laugh.
Guitar forums are so disasterous.
We bassists take enough crap from time to time to just smile about it all

I seem to recall the www.wholenote.com forums being alright- not been on for a while though. If anyone has any other suggestions I would also like to hear 'em

They're either polite and dead or heavily trafficked and utterly chaotic and acrimonious. This is the one site I've seen that has both a lot of activity and useful information.

I don't know too much about it, but it's like ActiveBass.com for guitarist.

Guitarists and the huge conflicting egos dont get on well together
Drummers cant usually type
Vocalists, well, what would be the point!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: MD | | My favorite by FAR has to be The Gear Page ( www.thegearpage.net/board). I'd say it's probably the closest to TB of the guitar forums out there. A wide cross section of players, quite a few pros, and relatively few boneheads. Plus they're gear nuts just like many TB'ers are.

Well, that is a bit of a contradiction. For one thing, a forum as good as this one just doesn't exist. But really, how could a forum be as good as this anyway, if it's about lead guitar?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^That's what the lead guitarist I play with says - all of the guitar forums he's ever visited are bad because everybody has a huge ego and every topic turns into an argument. |
