I do not know what scales he is using. Those licks are not tough to play at all. It all adds up to a pleaseant enough sound, but i find nothing even approaching remarkable guitar playing.

And, also... I wanna know what you think of this player:

This is very typical, cliched rock and roll lead guitar, played by someone who knows what he is doing but possesses no special talent. Nothing wrong with it. Nothing particularly inspiring either. His parts seem to fit the song, and that is more than some guitarists ever accomplish.

Every rock and roll band in the world worth a damn has a guy who can play like this or better. Overall, the whole lead part reminded me of the guitar on "Gimme Shelter." There is nothing really new, is there?



You make me sad.
Many times over.

And, I also think that you are in the minority in your thinking about these guys: Tom Verlaine, Richard Lloyd, and Robert Quine are generally considered among the greatest guitar players in the history of underground rock. No, they're not blues-based, like many traditional rock guitar players are, which may throw a lot of folks. But that's what I love about them.
