Pretty good Youtube player

Sense of humour failure occuring.

Crevis, please leave it out. You're like a dog with a bone.

Haha, getting all worked up over an internet post, that's cute.

Seems he wouldn't mind a good ol' perma-ban Jim!

Did Crevis ever post any videos?

much kudos and respect to this young guy; he's got killer chops for being but 4 years into his playing. i do, however, see a moderate kink in the rail for this kid.

there are gobs of young shredders-of-the-future videos on youtube of younger guys that can faultlessly nail jason becker, marty friedman, and paul gilbert pieces or sweep arpeggios from the floor to the ceiling and back all day long. this is very cool but at the same time i wonder if this isn't just a symptom of a diseased young metalhead mind. as a touring musician and fairweather guitar instructor, i've seen sweep-picking, tapping, and light-speed shred stuff (all of which i do and enjoy) become the very apexes of ability and technique in the past few years to alot of kids to the point where many potential students i'd have are interested in learning nothing else. i applaud the current boy-kings and the still-younger hopefuls for their devotion to the instrument, but someone really needs to give these guys a b.b. king box set.

don't get me wrong, i see the merit in this dude's abilities and hope that the future sees him becoming a truly monstrous player once he learns to incorporate things like touch, feel, and phrasing (and as well the incredible fun and awesome vibe found in playing in a very inefficient but completely intentional way.) if every kid were this good when i was a lil guy, well, i wouldn't have made so much money teaching the other metalhead dorks in my class metallica tunes in middle school.

Nope, never did post a video, a song....NOTHING. At least, not in this reality. Now maybe on Planet Crevis he did, but we're not on Planet Crevis. We're on Earth, and since we can't visit Planet Crevis, because it only exists in his head, we're stuck to listening, and watching, posts on the internet ON EARTH. Until then, we'll be waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.......

Guess we pretty much see it the same way...... But it was kinda the same when I started taking my playing serious. If you study only one style/genre early on you'll quickly discover how limited you are when it comes to working as a musician for hire.

I don't think most of these shredders see beyond their CD collection and their bedroom stage and it's connection to the outside world of music via youtube and the internet. And as anyone knows that can still be a pretty narrow window since you only seek out what you like most of the time.

But give them time and hopefully some exposure to performing in many different live situations and they soon will see having a broad spectrum of styles and licks is far more rewarding. It also helps to get over what many young players see as reaching a plateau in their playing. They get discouraged because they feel they can't get any better/faster while missing out on broadening their playing spectrum and craft.

For an analogy..... it's kinda like car mechanics..... some guys are happy just fixing transmissions their whole life while others want to know how to fix everything on a car......

Licks are like the tools of our trade...... you're only limited by the ones you choose to learn and use.

OK, enough babble.... now back to more important issues! (Crevis)
