It sounds like he's getting way more notes in than what he's merely fretting, it's like he's quadruple picking. However he does it, and in spite of the fact that musically it's a snore, it is an impressive feat. Imagine the commitment this guy made to learning his instrument. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

Yeah, one of my buddies' brothers went to GIT with both those guys. Basically all they know (musically and otherwise) is sitting around and playing crazy shred guitar. ~B~ |

eh, there is more to playing good music than playing ridiculously fast. Plus, his tone was rather annoying to listen to. —I am super sweet |

I say nobodys that good. Batio is a good guitarest and all, but its just over the top. Has anyone heard of John 5? Now he is a great guitarest —"One may smile, and smile, and be a villian" |

Some people love it. Its very mechanical, the whole machine vs man except the machine is man. Its like those J.S. Bach pieces done with a moog synth, I love that stuff! Its sounds like it was written by a computer and not some dude in a dusty old church 300 years ago. |

"I'm giving YOU the keys to the Lamborghini..." These things always make me chuckle. I think we should form a new sticky thread for the cheesiest session musicians/guitar tutorials on you tube. I'd follow the above up with the "chocolatey and robust" chaps on the Fender Cyber Twin page http://www.fender.com/products/cyber/cybertwinse/home.php (see video). I like the Anthrax video though. |

I never heard of them before...so disgustingly cheesy. This reminds me of Europa or The Scorpions. No thanks. |

His thin strings make him a sissy i honestly could not remember how the lead guitar of the song sounded literally 5 seconds after it was done, that is how un-catchy that is. — |

Bloody aweful noise! Yes, he's fast and yes, I wish I had the ability to move my decrepid 45 year old hands that fast but it doesn't make it the slightest bit nice to listen too... and that comes from a fan of Sonic Youth!!! |

Say what you will about shredders but Paul Gilbert one of the elite shredders of all time (Racer X) has a really cool website even if you hate shredding. |

This stuff isn't what I'd choose to play if I had that kind of skill, but my hat is off to these guys for the time and effort it takes to get that good. And if you can make a living doing what you enjoy, whatever that may be, more power to you. |

Of course it's a horrible din though.... I mean, what sort of person eshews human contact in order to learn to play that fast and then, instead of going out and say, meeting girls or something .... stays in to learn to do the same thing left-handed..... I blame the parents. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

So true. I read that Sammy Hagar didnt even get his drivers license till he was like 21. Ah the irony. I was talking to my friend about this just yesterday, how it seriously takes someone 8 hours of practice everday for like at least 1-2 years to be able to play like that. I could do it if I had an aderol (amphetamine) script maybe. I get bored after 10 minutes of scale practice, could you imagine doing 8 hours of sweeps and arpeggios? Everyday? For years? |

wrong answer you two. You know what happens to water when it stagnates? It STINKS! Well, that can be you. There are many ways to progress as a musician, find one that appeals to you and do it. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

He knows his scales, and that's all i'll respect him for. Setzer can shred that fast, and also throws in jazz chords and stuff, much more complex and CATCHY. also, setzer plays 11's, not super huge, but they are bridge cables in comparison to the 8 or 9's that guys playing. hell, if makes a mistake, how are you supposed to tell? distortion eliminates a need for being super accurate.
