Racer X? Don't forget I'm old and originally from Los Angeles...

Of course I know who Paul Gilbert is. Master of the arpeggios on the guitar...

And I listened to KNAC all the time...

And I got to see him play at the Roxy when I went to see a friends band play. I was an instant convert.

I used to listen to Racer X. Saw their drummer Scott Travis play with Judas Priest. He shred ass.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

While I'd heard them get some airplay on 105.5 KNAC (motto: If it's too loud then you're too old! - I was in my 30's at the time), I got to see Racer X play at the Roxy in 88 (87? 89? I forget. Late 80's anyway). They were playing on the same day my youngest sisters boyfriends band (Missouri Fox) was playing. Like I said I was an instant convert. Back in the day you could go to most clubs on the Hollywood Strip any day of the week and see 4-5 bands play 1 set each.

Where you at?

Like I said I'm originally from the South Bay area of Los Angeles (Gardena born and bred - Go GHS!). Doing the Hollywood Strip was a weekly thing, especially as I was playing in a band.

Was watching some of his instructional vids .. Seems like a cool guy with crazy sense of humor ...

No offense intended.

You'll please note that I didn't quote you when I posted this.

Ibanez: Ask your drummer -Any drummer worth their salt can play quads

67CamaroRSSS: Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...

LOL! Racer X...

Now there's a blast from the past! I use to listen to all there stuff along with just about all the other shrapnel recording artists.. cool.

Now this guy isn't exactly a shredder so to speak but man....His playing has always inspired me...

Been playing 22 yrs now and I try to throw my heart AND balls into my playing like Gary... Still got some more wood shedding to do though...

And then...no matter what singer he has in his band,or how many people have taken what he started to new levels,I think the most original,influential,genuine,inovative and creative guitarist to hit the planet would have to be...

As cliche' as it might be...

My hero on the guitar Edward Van Halen... (as if you didn't know by my avatar what was coming... )

Yes many players after him took technical ability to levels way beyond what he started and sure,there are people that have taken music theory to levels that probably leave him scratching his head in confusion....But, they in my opinion...still can't touch him.

Someone mentioned Paul Gilbert as the master of arpeggios? While I love Paul and his playing I gotta give that title to Frank!

Here he is with Chick Corea... SMOKIN'!!

Remember guys... there is no BEST in music.It's just about one thing,what mood are you in??

I said the the drum solo he did with Judas Priest back in the early 90s shred. It did.

Oh no didn't mean the drumming specifically.

I meant that Gary wouldn't be considered as part of that genre but,he is one of my faves... Sorry for any confusion.
