:D Come on guys be reasonable !

OK so it fast playing in some parts but certainly not all of it. He use`s all of the fret board very well & he`s actually playing a proper tune not just noodeling aimlessly !
Personnaly i thought it was great. It sounded like FUN

I quite liked that video - those who know me know i HATE speed-shred, but i thought the actual melody of that tune was pretty good, and i liked the chorus how it kinda merged like power-punk with classical music. Wish i could play it.


Yeah I didnt think it was stupid shred, I thought it sounded pretty good, seemed to be getting a good crunchy power metal tone aswell! It reminds me of Dragonforce  :lol:

I wasn't having a go! I just was remembering a time when I would have been severely daunted by the fact someone younger than me could play faster than me - know I don't really care. As long as what you are doing is emotionally valid to you, it doesn't matter if its 16 notes a second or 1 note every 16 seconds...and if that kid enjoys his music, then hats off to him! That's all music should be about! :)

Incidentally, regarding the music, I would rather just listen to straight Pachelbel...I still have major issues regarding high gain guitarists 'going classical'!

Sambo, whilst I would love to put him on here it has nothing really to do with guitar or BKPs but thanks for the thought but he has recorded some fine stuff and some of them have great guitar bits on them courtesy of Mike Casswell if anyone has heard of him - amazing player and long term mate.
Willo has a point- it was not something I would listen to other than out of curiosity and cannot, in all honesty, imagine buying but I have great respect for the effort that the lad put in and his affinity for guitar .

I can do that Sambo- his stuff at the time was commercial ( that is until he got fed up with having to play the game and consigned himself to obscurity  :)  ) so you may not like it. If so then I can email MP3s to you but the files are big even after being zipped. He has been living in USA for nearly a year and hasn't been able to do anything due to various circs but is hoping to get gigging again soon. He will look for a small US label then. perhaps you can pm your email address.

Don't get me wrong, he's good but not original and I'm sure he can do better :!:

He's the only guy i've ever heard play shred chicken picken'. I really thought that Country/Metal was a pretty original idea, and he's using some very different techniques to most players of similar genres!


You not heard Runaway Train by Steve Morse (it's on his Cost To Coast album)?  Some great chicken shreddin' there.  :)

Well, I'm 15 and I play piano! Does anyone want clips of me???  :( :( :( :(

Everyone should learn piano, it helps heaps with guitar.
I pretty much only play jazz nowadays, Art Tatum/Oscar Peterson type stuff, so I can't really play much classical without getting bored to pieces (Let's face it, classical piano just isn't that much fun).

But i'm interested to know, 38th, what type of music does your son play?

Oh, and Steve Morse = God

Check out Buckethead's 'Hog Bitch Stomp' for chicken pickin' shred.
YEEHAA!

Greg Koch's tuition video Guitar Gristle is a great place to learn all those country techniques - there is a great bit on behind the nut bends.

Muzzz, my son plays jazzy blues type stuff.He used to raid my cd collection and one day heard Steely Dan and made it his mission to learn all their stuff .He had a band here in UK before he moved to USA and one of the songs they used to do was Steely Dan's "Peg". His strength was in his voice though-which was just fantastic.

That does sound cool. I wonder what his Mum said when she saw those tattoos.


Maybe, "yes dear, I love Horiyoshi III designs too, but could you not have got somebody good to tatto them?"

Oh, and check out the video compilation 'Guitars SUCK'.
It's just random clips of awesome guitarists and it's got Guthrie Govan doing some awesome country shred.

And check out 'The Bash' by the dregs

this stuff is amazing
never saw a guitarist play something like this
his solo albums are also creative and full of rich melodies
definitely a great piece of rock guitar
