And folks say the classics are crap, all they need is the right
interpretation.


Well done Laura.

 

Awesome!

Fantastic.

And if you could hook Johann Pachelbel up to a generator you could power
the amp for free too.

oi! Champ! This is what you want to be doing mate.

It took my breath away. Excellent.

 

Excellent. One of my favourite pieces. I have an excellent Techno version.

 

Fucking awesome.

 

That's utterly superb.

One the one hand it makes me want to pick up my guitar again, but on
the other it completely discourages me because I know I'll never be
able to play like that.

 

Yes but who's playing the drums and bass?

 

It reminds me of Helloween.

 

Reminds me of that awesome clip of Ingwe Malmsteen (sp?).

Superb, anyway.

 

Satriani and Vai were doing this sort of thing over 15 years ago.
Technically sweet but dull. Just another bedroom shredder with an over
pocessed sound with all the middle scooped out.

At least this guy

...is a little more inventive.

Now there's a boring ****.

The backing track that he set going at the start of the video?

 

That's just slap-bass but on an acoustic guitar.

 

Quite. But is it just a backing track or is he just miming the whole thing?
The sound and vision aren't in sync when I play it so its hard to tell.

 

He's playing. He plays a few wrong notes[1] towards the end of it.



[1] Wrong as in they don't fit with the rest of it.

 

Sometimes its all lead guitar, lead guitar, lead guitar .. spare a thought
for the peole at the back ..
