Am I the only one who doesn’t care for the wah? I’m talking in general terms here not just this video.
I always equate one with that compressed 70’s sound. Cant shake it.I love the wah wah pedel, have one although I haven't broken it out for some time.
Laugh, but that’s EXACTLY what bugs me aboutrather clinical sounding. Sounds very practiced, where's the swagger? I've never heard Hendrix sound so White. It needs drag and swing, push and pull,... looseness, not perfect metronome timing.
no feel; too many notes

Eric Johnson. Bash around a little for cryin out loud.
it's not articulated but I think that's the thing that bugs people about JB too. Some players are fantastic players but they're a little stiff.
"bash around a little" is a really good way to put it. Almost all my favorite players are loose and just a little bit sloppy. From Yngwie to Satriani to Hammett and Mustaine,... Van Halen,.. there's just a little bit of looseness and swagger to it. It doesn't sound like a machine is playing.
then you get guys like Petrucci or Michael Batio who play perfectly, .. but it's a little stiff sounding.
