What Is Your Trademark?

[ADR]

I would have to say the "G" Chord & the "ADR-peggio"

[VitaminG]

sus2 and sus4 are the ultimate progressive rock chords

common in pop, hard rock, country, all over the place

Check out a bunch of VH tunes (and loads of 80s HR bands - loved the sus4 resolving to major chord riffs), Dragon's April Sun in Cuba (main riff is all Asus4 resolving to A, repeat), The Police's Message in a Bottle (built around a moving add9 or sus2 arpeggio), Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive (the D-Dsus4-Dsus2 thing by adding & removing fingers on high E string).

Great as a passing chord because they beg to be resolved.

[Endrik]

absolutely, when VH started using those major and sus4 chord combinations.. they came the ultimate 80's chord progressions wich everyone used... no matter what style

prog rock guys like Gilmour, Howe, Hackett, Fripp etc. were pretty much the first guitarists in popular music who started heavily using the Sus chords.... sus2, sus4, 7sus2, 7sus4...

[j2379]

bad guitar playing with REALLY nice guitars.

[Aeternatus]

I'm often playing the first E frets (1-2-3-4-5 fret) really fast and in pretty hard and brutal way so i guess thats my signature but i like to add D in and more frets... oh i sounds really stupid, I hope you understand what i meen

[cfh^]

Hmm,I fuck up every solo I play,so I guess that's my trademark :ROTF:

Ehh..to be serious,maybe sweeping w/tapping added to it is my trademark.

[sonicsamurai]

melodic leads, bluesy legato pentatonics mixed up with modal notes, tapping runs up and down the neck, fast dm picking, technical death thrash riffs, silly faces (aparrently i mouth every note when i'm soloing haha)

[jdr94]

i guess my trademark would be excessive variants of down slides!! why? i dont know, i like fillers.

[thunderhead]

Cant explain really.... Something like

------------------
------------------
------------------
------------------
----7-----5---3--
--0---000---0---- this.

Everytime i pick up my guitar i tend play this first. Palm mute the E string and bend-vibrato the A string. Nothing special...

[Mario8672]

Legato on Egyptian and Harmonic Minor scales.

[excon]

I like to fart in the microphone when the singer goes to piss.

[Visualdarkness]

Not being able to play anything as simple as 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 :P

[GryphonGuitar]

My trademark move is a harmonic tap bend, as evident at 0:40 in this video:

Haven't seen anyone else do it. Except Myung. But he doesn't count.

[Gabriel Raphael]

i guess my main thing is feedback but i also tend to play allot more arabic scales, classical and flamenco phrases, pentatonic and phrygeon leads and maybe im into hard heavy riffs in unisonw ith bass like the Bad Brains in the late 80s.
