Guitar Freaks Out There

[TheOrangeCat]

Ok. So, this is a serious minority interest post, but ........

And, yes - I know - it's not very musical. This is not the point. This is about mechanics and human performance. I've been playing 20 odd years, and no matter how many times i watch this, I can't spot a single error, cheat, sneaky slide .. nada.

Once you get to Take 3, then the WTF factor sets in. It's worth sticking with it to the end .. which actually defies belief.

That was tight, but as far as precision, speed and technique goes Micheal Angelo Batio and his ambidextrous shit is tops. But it all sounds like garbage.

This much is true:

He's too good. It's not even about song writing for him anymore. Or creativity, uniqueness etc. GuitarOne named him fastest guitarist ever. Too bad he couldn't write a hook to save his life.

Fast? It's in the strumming. That's where the illusion of speed comes from. He's moving his hand and fingers up and down the fretboard and staccato picking.

 

[STDiva]

Ohhhh is that what he's doing?

Yeah. And maybe he should take a lesson from Ted Greene. And maybe watch a Chet Atkins video or two.

That's so funny. I used to watch his instruction videos, inflame my tendinitis, shake my head, and Go - 'Why? Why would someone get so much talent and be able to do sooo little with it?"

Thanks Grandpa!

Truth, but let me translate for our porn addicted brothers. It's like having the biggest dick, but not being able to fuck a girl with it. amirite?

Sorry, dude. No.

No 'strumming"
No staccato (maybe you mean legato)? = which it's not either

Most of this is mechanical speed alternate picking, combined with arpeggio string sweeps and skips.

Speaking of Arpeggio scales... Check out Yngwie Malmsteen! :bowdown:

FYI - George Lynch is the man. Sensei Ax .....

And thus a prophet of rock was found in the desert, and verily, he wielded a mighty ax ..

Ah, another newcomer.
Speed is about the worst measuring stick when it comes to guitarists...

 

[TheOrangeCat]

Steve Stevens - totally under-rated and yet most awesome.

Who said it was being used as a measuring stick? In fact, the opening post (and other subsequent posts) makes it pretty clear it's not, as musicality is key here.

Read, old sage. And learn.
