I hate these videos

Not heard it with the sound on but his fingers are moving fast.

Looks like more incessant bedroom-noodling and I'm sure his mother is proud

It's more excess and not GOOD excess, like that 8 year old kid video. The reason I'm such a huge Paul Gilbert fan is because he knows where, when and what to do, he doesn't just go WWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE WLIDLWIDLWILWILWDIWIIILIWLDDIDLLWLWWLDELELDDLWIDLE ldieLDWDLIELIDEWWWWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw it without sound..just the image...and I don't know why, but I have the strange feeling that that's one of those stupid videos with pseudo shredders...

Is that guy good? I don't have sound, so I don't know...

Is fingers are moving fast, but let me tell you, his right hand is soooooo tense...

the ability to shred doesn't mean you're good, Yes Ibanez249 gilbert can shred and he knows when and how to do it, there are some really fast shredders out there who can shred but doesn't really know the true meaning of playing the guitar

+1 to the Gilbert comment. Not only does he know 'how' to shred but can also teach you how to do it as well!

Back to being on topic... WTF was that?!?! As much as I like to (mis)use youtube and google video for stuff, it's videos like these that really make me think... "wtf are these guys smoking when they put a video like that on the net?"... well that and I just realized that's what I was more or less doing during my first year of guitar playing when I discovered Yngwie. So if videos like these are a good indication of how I used to play back in the day.. I gotta say.. "man.. I sucked.."

Seriously.. videos like those SHOULD be banned.

That was aweful - that looks like someone who #1 doesn't have any technical ability and #2 has no musical knowledge.

This guy sucks really bad and painful to watch

what is the deal with people recording themselves playing that badly?

There are more people like this

I saw one where this guy was trying to play Michael Angelo's speed kills

and the guitar was in pain afterwards

seriously bad for the ears

Davey · #8 05-25-2006, 10:50 AM

I think that's the thing these guys forget...

WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE MUSIC, lol

SERIOUSLY. Look no offense to anyone, confidence is good, sharing is good, but damn, you would think they would notice the thousands of similar vids before posting their own. I mean, challenge yourself, and really wow somebody. And learn how to use an EQ!!! :P

Wildchild247 i know your with me on the hundreds of TERRIBLE Bodom songs and licks posted all over goolge video and youtube. Do they actually preview their work first?!?! Damn I didnt want to sound like an a-hole but it ticks me off when im searchin for a bodom concert and i have to sift through tons of 14 year olds butchering Hate Me and Lil BloodRed Ridin' Hood, lol.

Music is about self expression, not polarization. To all those posting good and enjoyable music, more power to ya.

looks like he's doing nothing but chromatic scales over and over again

Eggy · #12 05-25-2006, 03:39 PM

That guy sucks so hard I bet he could suck a golf ball through a garden hose !

Yeah I know its so annoying

there should be a rating system where we can rate them and then sort them by that rating, that would help so much

I hate those posers, it pisses me off how they can give them selves titles lie virtuoso guitarist when they clearly do not know how to play!!

the worse thing about the video is that he barely hits the fret with his left hand and doesnt synchronise his hands and plays nothing musical at all!!!!

anyone know who he is so we can give him a pice of our mind

SonataGuitarist · #15 05-25-2006, 04:18 PM

^ Exactly, and I agree a rating system would be a big improvment.

"Just me doing a shred and some sweeps on guitar."

Sweeps? Uh-uh. That's what it would look like if your fingers were drunk, falling down a flight of stairs, imo.
