I think this sucks

I've always said it's like gymnastics;

 

No, I can't do it.

Yes, it is impressive.

After I've seen everything you've got (usually in about 15 seconds) I'm ready to go.

 

Unless it's my kid doing it, then I might stay for 10 minutes or so...

This can't even qualify as "guitar porn" for me. Ok dude, you have a good sweep picking technique. You can play arpeggios really fast. But that's all. You're neither Jason Becker, nor Richie Kotzen. At least they had some soul and feeling in their playing. You might be able to compete with MAB, who I think is kinda dull, or maybe the DragonForce guys (this video kills me every time I watch it, plus I realize that I'm not the worst guitar player in the whole universe -JUST kidding), but wtv... funny thing I came across this video earlier today and just thought it was pure cr..p. There's also another video by a guy who claim's he's the fastest guitar player in the world or something. All I heard was the typical "I-can-play-fast-blulururururu". Don't get me wrong, I love speed and lightning fast riffs and licks and all that (YJM is one of my guitar heroes), but not like that.

 

Good example for a "What To Avoid In Shredding" guide.

 

One love stars

I happy for the guy, but don't real musicians strive to create something "interesting" as well as technical. It's that desire to be interesting, and to channel our emotions that makes music so damn fun.

 

I'll use an acting analogy. Ever see a movie that have actors that just don't know how to emote? The story may be well written, and the direction may be good, but there is no emotion. That was like a B movie when you don't have anything with real acting in it to really make you feel or think. It was something to watch to pass the time.

 

When I was 18 years old I would have loved it.

Does anyone think its good?

 

 

 

I don't... I think that sucks and is prety lame... you know, considering the amount of time a guy has to spend practicing to achieve that speed, you would think he'd end figuring out it's more about the feeling and what the solo does in the context of the song. That thing is just noise, and wouldn't amount to nothing on a song context.
