Matt Bellamy - The Greatest Guitarist of the Last Decade By David J P Smith

Matt Bellamy is the lead guitarist/singer/piano player of English rock band Muse. When people talk about great guitar players you'll often hear the same names banded around time after time. People will mention Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and so on, but rarely (if ever) will you hear Bellamy's name mentioned in the same breath.
What I love most about Bellamy is that there has no ego in his playing, and he is never self-indulgent at all. Everything he does he does for the good of the song, and he isn't afraid to make mistakes. If you've ever seen Muse play live you'll also agree that the man knows how to 'wow' a crowd and how to fill a stage and be a showman. For a band with only 3 members, Muse sure do make a lot of noise!
Part of the reason for this is that many of those guitarists are very much in the twilight of their careers, and they have a whole body of work that you can look at that has stood the test of time, whereas Matt Bellamy is still going strong and pumping out album after album - each more revolutionary then the last.
I firmly believe that in years to come people will look back and realise just what an amazing genius Matt Bellamy was. Not only does he have excellent technical ability but he's also extremely creative and unique. On top of this, he has a beautiful singing voice that compliments the music perfectly.
