Yeah these were the exact two that popped into my head when I saw the thread title too! From what I've read, Randy Coven was the first Yngwie touring bassist that played fingerstyle, it suprised Yngwie in the auditions that someone could play those lines so fast without a pick.

Here's some of my favorites from the 90s, many of them would probably be considered 80s metal, but they were released in the 90s so yeah... Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion I/II , I'm in the minority of GnR fans probably that feels that this album/s represents the band's best work. The...

I'm an 80s rock guy so definitely a pick for me. I took some lessons on classical guitar when I was younger but never really enjoyed playing fingerstyle as much, perhaps b/c I wasn't that good at it! :D

I've learned a lot by trying to figure out Kasim Sulton's bass part on Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell. Mainly I follow along with the chords and don't quite do all the things he does, but I try to get some of the cool fills he adds. It's also helped me to learn a bit more about composition...

what kind of sound are you trying to get? Any famous bassists whose tone would somewhat resemble the tone you're going for? For me I like an 80s hair metal sort of sound that is sort of defined by spector basses+ emg pickups + gk amps + compression , (and maybe chorus if you want a bit of a...

Fender Deluxe Active P Bass Special is around $700 , with a P body and P/J pickups and a jazz neck Invalid Link Removed

I agree in general that the J is built to cut through better all else being equal, but if you want to make it work with a P that should be cool too. Steve Harris cuts through 2 and sometimes 3 guitarists just fine with a vintage P with flats, but he has a unique attack on the strings. I...

Cool replies from everyone so far, especially the Wally Voss story! I didnt really want to touch on the feel/emotion vs. speed playing debate. That stuff has been argued over and over on all the guitar forums and most of the youtube Yngwie videos and it doesn't seem to get anywhere. For me...

Cool, I'll play. My favorites are... Bassist in a band = Duff McKagen for providing the right type of lines for that sound to come together Tone = Eddie Jackson, Rachel Bolan & generally the lower end, smoother tone, booming midrange heavy Spector USA + EMG pickups + GK amp sounding guys...

:hiding: for the thread title ... haha but anyhow, I'm new to the forum here and this is my first post. I know Yngwie is a polarizing musician due to both his personality and playing style, but I happen to be a big fan of his, and the whole neoclassical guitar rock genre for that...
