One truly great neoclassical shredder for those who are interested.

Uhm wow..that is literally too fast. How do you even begin working towards this level of speed ?
But i personally dislike neo-classical shredding quite a bit because i find it all ends up sounding the same imo when you get into this speed region. I like the players who use their speed selectively like Rob Marcello.

There is something about this man that scares me lol.
I was at a Rob Marcello clinic in Pretoria. He is really fantastic and such a down to earth guy. I for one can't get enough of neoclassical anything.21Fretter wrote: Uhm wow..that is literally too fast. How do you even begin working towards this level of speed ?

Of course it doesn't mean that I wouldn't kill to be able to play like that!Conrad wrote:Ag sies! :'(Jack Flash Jr wrote: Sorry... didn't make it all the way through... nap time intervened ?
OK but he does really shred alot and that sometimes tires the listener. I just think he is an incredible talent though. This seems to be about Rusty Cooley speed but Cooley's tone gets to me.

Wow, that kind of playing is igniting the guitar world and setting the scene for future virtuosos to build on.
Oh wait, that was in 1987.
In 2010? Pointless and boring. (Wait, I'm agreeing with the anti-proficiency brigade. Does this mean I have to gouge my eyes out with my Ibanezes?)
I guess this guy is just playing his exercises for the camera so it's maybe not what his actual music sounds like. But the act of doing so in itself is pointless and boring and doesn't bode well for his other creative efforts. (I could be wrong, never heard of this dude.)
Now go listen to Scar Symmetry for sick arpeggios and multi finger tapping in a kick ass musical context that doesn't sound like a Shrapnel Records Class Of '87 reunion.

Chris Broderick melts his face easy. ?BMU wrote:

But I am interested. All technical playing interests me, the stuff I love and the few I don't equally so."for those who are interested".....
Bwwaahaahaaaaaa. ? Per Nilsson is far more unique dude. Those sick sounding dimished things he does is more metal than Broderick on crutches. ?Chris Broderick melts his face easy.
I am still going to check out this Per Nilsson dude. Look if we had to abolish established shred styles then no one would be allowed to play Vivaldi or Paganini today.
Look it's still awesome playing. He has insane skill, gotta respect those skillz. And if a newer generation can appreciate this all over again, that's great.Conrad wrote: Look if we had to abolish established shred styles then no one would be allowed to play Vivaldi or Paganini today.
But still, I have to conclude that is not "good" shred. Listen to Jason Becker's Perpetual Burn, unashamedly showing off total neoclassical shred from THAT infamous '87 period, but damn he's got feel and the songs are well-written and memorable.
This dude also has an awful lot of effects on there, I'm sure he'll sound equally good thru just the amp, not saying he's hiding anything, but the effects just make it sound a little cheap and cheesy imo.
