Topic starter  

I have never been a big fan of Shred guitar, but I ran across this guy on YouTube. This guy is amazing.

Wow :shock:

If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis

He's good. No doubt. I just hate watching stuff like that. Reminds me of how bad I am. :oops:

I hate shredding but this kids style of shredding is really great, I mean...really, really great.

The only better shredder I've heard is Buckethead and I've tested listening to a lot of shredders.

Another addition to those amazing shred videos.

Not my kind of 'music' in any case.

Pearl: LOL!

Neztok: He uses a Digitech GNX-4 workstation.

This guy's older than he looks (he's pushing 30 now), and was a classically trained viola player for years. He teaches in Brazil.

I'm curious: he's got other vids using other guitars. In this one he's got a standard SSS strat (albeit with scalloped fretboard.) The sound is VERY different. Is that what makes this particular tune more palatable to some of you?
How about his one with a Jackson:

Or this one with an HH guitar:

Still fans?

Also, don't confuse playing ability with compositional skills. This guy is a great player, no doubt. But he's not in the same league as Buckethead, Gilbert, Satriani, Petrucci, Vai, etc.

My 2cents.

He's definitely one of my fav youtubers. All of his vids are great. That eight finger tapping thing is insane. Especially that harmonized stuff that he does. :shock:

It's funny how many people complain that it's "fake" :roll: . Uh...ok...I guess he faked his mistakes too? An amazing guitarist.
