Dean Shredder Search Contest - Bare Knukle Nailbombs

[Joe Kataldo]

Hi Guys, I've submitted a video for the Dean Shredder Search Contest, this is my first contest.

In general I don't like competition in music but I thought this was fun!

Check my entry

Gear Used:

Mark IV - Music Man John Petrucci with Nailbombs - SM57 - Mesa 1x12 with Celestion C90

P.S.

Sorry for my silly faces, but they are looking for a Shred-Rock-Star, so I HAD TO! :D :D :D

tastefully done! i watched the other videos, and you've really defined tone compared to alot of the other entries, plus more musical. i gave you an '11', but i think you should make more RAWK faces ;)

[Philly Q]

I'm no shred fan, but I liked your clip - nice and melodic with no pointless w@nkery.

[il˙ti]

Not near as fast/technical as other entries I've seen, but definitely more musical than most. You've really got the Petrucci feel down both in style and tone. Great job.

[Crazy_Joe]

That was $%&#ing amazing, tone and playing both impressed me!

[badgermark]

Really good tone, was the riffing at the start done on the neck pickup? so clear yet chunky. The other videos are just done by stereotypical shredders- long haired virgins with pointy guitars in their bedrooms.

Think i should submit a video? I can't shred and I'd use my telecaster...

[Joe Kataldo]

Thanks Guys...yeah the beginning lick is made with the neck pick-up

[MrBump]

That was ace.

I loved the hammer ons - not blisteringly fast, but used to get a different voicing than you would with a pick.

Really good, intelligent playing.  Top bloke.

Mark.

Superb playing and amazing phrasing!

This is BRILLIANT!

Completely agree Philly - much prefer this to most of the million notes per second stuff. Good tone too - I find a lot of mega fast shredding sounds like the old electronic space invaders games.

My tele is my most Brutalz guitar! Only one with a humbucker in it!

Funky!  :)

Like that Tele, Wez.  Is it a trick of the light, or is the neck angled back?
