Eric Barnett Performs at Guitar Player's Guitar Superstar 2008

[class5308teacher]

This looks nothing like the Eric Barnett of Iron Butterfly 1998 Toronto Gig. That guy was very very thin! With totally different moves on stage, a different presence!  Wow!

Is this the same guy that appeared with Iron Butterfly doing Butterfly Blues this guy is insane... Iron Butterfly Reunion 2008 was very cool check it out.

I'm happy to say I saw Eric last night and he was a million times better than this.

totally different player.

I know it takes alot to get up there and perform and pull off what you practice at home or in the studio. The amps they use in these competitions, suck . I have watched pretty much all of these vids and have yet to really feel what these guys are putting out. There are loads of time issues and music composition. This guys shredding was so sloppy and out of place. Anyway, competitions are only really good for one thing and that is to make the sponsors, more money and popularity.

i've heard better sounds coming out my dogs ass when its asleep, anyone in that audience that cheered was obviously cheering becoz it was over or they are severly hearing impaired.

this guy is over on guitarwar. The studio version of this song is off the chain good. The main problem here is that the tone of the rig is not very forgiving at all.. which is a bit of a shame :|

[noisenet]

Extremely tasty - man, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being in the contest the year BEFORE I was, LOL!

[guitarkis49]

the song established some nice melodies, but the shredding just didn't fit later on...should have just gone from the heart....I do love the beginning of the song however.

[MarshallLesPaul]

Some beautiful melodies in there.

Which model of Strat is that? Which finish? With the lighting it's hard to tell. Thanks.

[tobiasvanerlov]

Very much John Mayer-feeling. At least in the intro :) Nice playing!

[sdhanyam]

Excellent!!!

I suggest you upload the same in 'Dynamycdesi'.It is a online talent contest site for people and gives an award to the Best Talent.

This guy is good but I think he lost some of the judges with his shredding. He plays much better slower.

That being said, I wish i was 1-1,000,000th as good!

[muddywood]

THe slower parts were MUCH better than the attempts at shredding

[realrockerjb]

@muddywood trust me ive seen this guy a bunch of times and he is a crazy shredder. but im sure erics performance was hindered by the amp he was using (you dont get to use your own.)

[Bucketheadcube]

hmmm, this is not a mature playing, not clean, and not very intresting... =) This is my opinion

[rb300dx]

Technical, yet melodic that's what I'm saying yeah!
