And also he is really cool at doing creative chords and alternate tunings. Some of his beat songs have a distinct strident foot tapping rhythmic sound in his guitar that is really cool. Great examples of that are "King Of Spain" and "The Gardener" but especially I love this and want to share it.
If Kristian Matsson gets further in this tournament than Nick Drake, this site has lost its marbles. Also, even though I can take or leave a lot of Slowdive's music, I do appreciate that Halstead's guitar work, particularly that otherworldly tone he employs at times, can be divine. Easy vote to Halstead here. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Kristian Mattson is a very pretty guitarist and his fingerpicking is impressive, but Neil Halstead's guitar is in another league. I told myself I wouldn't give shoegaze artists the point here, because of their heavy use of effects and pedals to get the sound they want, but fuck it, they made the art of performing an instrument much more ethereal and engaging. My vote goes to Neil. _________________

I can agree or at least understand this sentiment. But I could say the same for Neil H. and many other guitarists in this tourney. It really comes down to the luck of the draw. _________________ -Ryan
