Dean Shredder Entry

[trashtalkwiz]

ahah you sound so much like me, tone and technique wise

[disposablehero117]

people who can shred think that what they play is good just bc its fast. what makes a real solo is having rhythm and melody to it, dumbassess

[archangel312]

@disposablehero117 I'm pretty sure the contest was called "Dean Shredder", not "Dean Soloist". The whole point was to find the best shredder.

[fuckzezima]

@disposablehero117 Yup, its sad to see people bashing the winner just because he played more with melody than technical skill while using different techniques, most people wanted to be like dime, no disrespect but it's better to find your own style rather than to play like one person.

[JuanBluesMan]

you rock man i like your tone you should won!

[fulfordfacebook]

please change the tone, cuz it sounds like sqeaky toys this way

[Ebastine]

u should compose something urself dude. the first part is a solobit of erotomania by dream theater ..

[ZeppelinFan6980]

Hmmm...good shredding, I don't like the tone, though.

[bloodbird6six6]

this is really amazing, and its SHREDDING, i dont know if its even supposed to have any melody, its just to show skill and dexterity

[roux39]

That's Badass!!!!

[matumbina99]

wow you can do scales



[MrCanYaDigIt1]

dont listen to the shit talkers. haha. i cant understand why people post the crap they do. they watch and vid and assume they know everything behind it and talk crap. bunch of fuckin chumps.

[spencer5078]

excruciatingly boring

[theplayboy85]

boooring :(

[tonydu62138]

There is no melody, I state you are good, but this music sucks.

[pobhockle]

Where's the music? No soul.

[brownzfan10]

u play fast u must jack off alot lol

[MrSharpenis]

not a big fan of the tone but thats just me tbh Awesome job

[uome20bukz]

0:52 Sweeping and vacuum.

[SuperLuke23]

holy shit, great!

[SuperLuke23]

holy shit! great!

[cococrisp20]

Roy Halladay shreds guitar like this?

[jayy93]

Erotomania? o.0

[PoserHaterKiller]

@absoluteGODhatred I trolled you like the makeup wearing panzy assed hate monger you are. The only true musical talent that ever came from satan worship and god hating was fortunately NOT bestowed upon you and your band full of fuckin posers. Im not trying to make your eyeliner run so ill make this short and sweet, you are the social barometer to which all things untalented and unwanted are measured, nothin you stand for is about building up... only tearing down. Ropes cheap ya know.(hint hint)

[PoserHaterKiller]

@absoluteGODhatred I hope Jesus splits your greasy cheeks on judgement day with the huge veiny cock of righteousness.

[jimmyshitbags]

@PoserHaterKiller best comment i ever read

[PoserHaterKiller]

@absoluteGODhatred You sir are a cheesy satan loving poser. And dont worry God hates you too faggot.

[cigarzan]

Awesome. Take a breath.

[HolyCheezitsDan]

no emotion what so ever dude.

[rummy987]

im sure he can play fast but ur not not gonna win a shredder contest if u played a bucnh of hendrix licks, thier looking for speed and technique, not emotion, charisma or originality

[guitarman06661]

sounds great but you dont have attitude

[simpleben09]

That was pretty... robotic..... also, enjoy, that can off bees you're playing through? haha

[diwakargandhi]

dude ur an ass!!!!!!!!!! the beginning of d video is erotomania by dream theater... bloody poser !!!!!

[arrestedshrimp]

why did i get thumbs down for something i said that was completely true? 

[DimeWylde887]

HOLY CRAP!! You remind me so much of andy james. specially in this video

watch?v=4PIiuQp_Fgc

[DrinkingRoses]

thats a beauty of a guitar

[joeshmoa7x]

To all of you people saying he's just a shredder with no feeling... Since when does playing slow mean that you're playing with feeling? What if someone is pissed the fuck off huh? I think they'd shred the shit out of their guitar. Not play some jazz/blues lick or something...

[imconfusd]

@joeshmoa7x no.. you can have feeling and play fast. for sure. but this guy doesnt have it. i love fast playing. but hes vibrato's shit. maybe if he listened to some good vibrato players such as dime and worked from there it would sound a lot better

[joeshmoa7x]

@imconfusd well he's not Dime. so his vibrato isn't that great, does that mean there is no feeling? and even there wasn't, this was a SHREDDER search. a contest looking for those who can shred their asses off, and that's what he did.

[imconfusd]

@joeshmoa7x ahh no you missed my point. i was using him as an example. it was more for the people just making statements of "has no feeling"/ thats all. so it was more .. well why? and also.. dime was all bout the feeling and all bout the vibrato so since the comp s in respect to dime. i do think it can be important

[UnholySid]

Man, that's not playing. Take the vacuum cleaner and do something :(

[666hectik]

he's a freaking robot!!!!

[pingorotudaza]

this is emg pickups?

[dognz09]

Jesus is that a Kirby vaccum ?? fukn door knockers got you too aye>

[matt2eadgbe]

The first 20 seconds sounds just like a section of music in Dream Theater's "Erotomania" @ 5:10 on the track..... Just saying

[JaguarsDE95]

lovin the vacum next to you.. hahaha but that was reaallly good

[italianguerrilla]

Man, you're better than ed the shred, but you didn't win because this solo sucks!

[jerrykane01]

 ilke likes the sweeping section

[jerrykane01]

Is that ur guitar

[xXEsPLoVeRXx]

nice shredding, thats great and all. but can you come up with a constructive solo and not just mindless dragonforce bullshit?

[cptkirkatl]

mindless shred

[teenmetalhead666]

great job, but you need to put more feel into it. record a few riffs you make up and solo over top of them, or solo to the rythm guitar of another song. that helped me out a lot

[vaderscodpiece]

Work on your vibrato! at 35 seconds it sounds horrible!

[vaderscodpiece]

What type of guitar is that behind you on the left?

[PsychoticHearted]

@vaderscodpiece I think that's a vaccum cleaner.

[onewingedangelhli]

@PsychoticHearted One of the best replies ever, and yeah, I think so too.

[ghost666HAZE]

@PsychoticHearted its a industrial dildo! xD

[imsuckingwind]

@PsychoticHearted thats vari vac amp

[imsuckingwind]

@PsychoticHearted thats the vari vac amp

[PrinceOfPunk13]

@vaderscodpiece that my friend is a vacuum cleaner

[santisimaoisto]

the guitar looks like a toy for you..great shredding!!

[ImmortalReaver]

Good talent but no soul to the music.

[dudeblah55]

technically amazing but where the feel and emotion?

[MetallicBlack86]

nice!!!... btw i thought ur vaccum cleaner was some sorta saxophone or someth'.hahaha

[mkzz410]

use your pinky bro

[MetalyourMom]

was that a solo or a warming up?

[MetalTillIDie461]

why the fuck play blues for a METAL GUITAR shred contest...

[Guitarist101]

@MetalTillIDie461 tell that to zack wild

[AustinxRodriguez]

be quick with the kill switch its good tho

[D119heavy]

pretty sick playing, nice guitar too

[krollaostmedburger]

WOW I would like to have tabs of this shit!

[UMBRALMETAL]

yeahhh

[YouPuup]

use your pinky lol.

[baddarn94]

your reaally good, but it was allmost just same thing the hola time : P have more harmonic in the " solo "

[coldandfrostymorning]

I think the hoover really sets this vid apart

[Innocuous1]

So, is the vacuum cleaner in the background kinda like a dare to the h8ers? I'm not sayin you suck BTW

[arrestedshrimp]

1 star absolutely no soul and it was sloppy

[Wootsickles]

Hey Arrestedshrimp and wehatemike818... where you your videos?? I'm sure you can do so much better since you come on here and bash someone.

[HolyGK]

IT is a SHREDDER contest

- shredding means technics and no soul.

ANd btw DO you really think it was sloppy??

I don't think you know much about guitar.

That guy is great 5 star

[ShittakeBukakke]

@HolyGK "shredding means technics and no soul"

What the fuck?

[wehatemike818]

speed aint sh*t if u aint got blues n feel

[YouPuup]

@wehatemike818 fuck you

[JeevesMorris1]

@wehatemike818 A-Fucking-Men!

[Simoto92]

The first shredding is from Erotomania by Dream Theater :D

[theslashicon95]

its from alexi laiho

[theslashicon95]

38 to 42 its from children of bodom

[ESPThrasher57]

what song?

[Metalheadddddd]

Sounds like a warm up to me...

[juujoa]

from 0.38 to 0.42 is from some song? Sounds very familiar...

[HeavYLuiSProduction]

@juujoa Familiar? hmhm for some seconds it sounds like Vengeance from trivium at minute 2.50 but i'm not sure that is really the same

[KillerDrummer88]

don't like the pitch attack.... it's just action.

[tehbackmaskr]

good speed, horrible tone, and its more like a warm up than a finished product.

still pretty sweet ether way.

[57smorth]

speed is ok but what is this ????

[RevisedTV]

sound melodic near the end

[explicatus]

this sounds absolutely horrible. no melodic value at all

[reallyNsane]

Dang... least you got an honorable mention, but there was no way you were gonna beat that nerd... lol

[WCDWYTS]

agreed, there's no soul, but remember that this is a dean shredder entry. that's the point, to shred

[chrispena33]

No it's not. Just because a shred is ment to be fast doesn't mean theres no soul in it.

[MbTheGuitarNoob]

I'm not one for up-your-ass-shredding (fun to do though), but that was pretty awesome. Very clean!

5/5

[DevonatorMetalMaster]

Vacuum Cleaner Metal \m/

[rptoth]

fast...so what?

[IMTEHPIEDUDE]

in ten years he will be in top 10

[Thedimebaglives]

Its pretty good bot dimebag played very soulfully not just random ryhtim patterns and random notes

[JACKWRIGHTISBORED]

i agree, everyone reckons people like this should win coz they can go fast. but they dont sound that good.

[MrMcConnon]

totally, it shouldn't be all fast, I mean it would be nice to see some people hold a high note ya know...

[JoeythePope]

Nice LTD man

[2krzychu3]

dresiarz

[AQWakj93]

nice wacuum cleaner!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheNosnawS]

the beginning is based on erotomania right?

[PoserHaterKiller]

I think Dime's Woman said it best when she said "Alot of guys can play the shit outa the guitar, but to play with charisma was something Dime had in the pocket" You shred like a beast but you got no feel man, it sounds like youve compiled all of your practice regimes into one long annoying slur of notes. Try throwing a blues phrase in there, or atleast slow one of the ones you do pull off down in tempo a bit for some flavor.

Im not trying to insult you just giving my honest opinion.

[Warheart11]

@PoserHaterKiller hey man have you heard the solos on his actual songs? cause this is just a shredding contest, which means its how well you can play technically, which means its speed picking and sweeps and things like that, without bends or melodies, check out no light and humanix man, they are amazing songs with beautiful solos

[MustaineIsGOD23]

@PoserHaterKiller there is a reason why is called shredding...

[CalmDownTwice]

@PoserHaterKiller Lead by example, post a video response....

[guitarnub3]

@PoserHaterKiller though it do agree needed some phrasing.it was for a contest so he probably thought playing as fast as he could with no stops would give him better chances of wining.but non stop shred with no phrasing wins nothing lol

[testament19]

@PoserHaterKiller

Good constructive criticism dude. People really took this way too seriously I think but I appreciate the comments nonetheless. Everyone please do me a favor and listen to the 3 songs I've recently posted from my band, Black Valor. Those include examples of me actually soloing and not just playing a million notes.

[MrSchwermetalle]

@PoserHaterKiller i think it's probably so that he'll win the competition, its not being judged on composition ability its all based around pure technical skill which aint gr8 really

[JamalBojangles]

probably wouldn't hurt to play a dean in a dean contest

[Pab17693]

That Is Just Like Matt Heafy's Exercises. Tut Tut.

[bighotluke]

VACUME CLEANERS ARE TOTALLY METAL! 5*

[seanmaster]

It looks so tiny in his hands! XD

[riccardodannazioneHC]

it seems an alexi lahio's shred...

[trania101]

nice ESP, i have ec-50 haha it was my second guitar

[michaelbryant21]

ok his fingers move fast but that wasnt that good.

[metalunia]

amazing solo 5*

saludos

[Chipmonkcheeks53]

Really good playing :D Nice guitar too

[kurtt1129]

esp eclipse ?

[lashwip123]

WHAT???? THATS HUGE!!

[altratronic]

DUDE!!! I have that same vacuum!

[10thmaggot]

That guitar would be badass to have. But me i cant have a guitar without a Whammy on it

[ElementalDespise]

u can can them with a floyd rose now

[10thmaggot]

Ok dude but one thing you need to know about Les Pauls don't ever put a Whammy on it. I know dumbass people do but you dont Whammys on Les Pauls or Les Paul look alikes

[Stashitquick]

the gibson les paul custom axcess i think its called has a floyd rose.

[VadaHada69]

...What the hell are you talking about? Why exactly do you think you can't have Floyd Roses on Les Paul styled guitars? You're an idiot.

[10thmaggot]

lol have you seen a Les Paul with a whammy bar on it. It looks stupid. Fucking pussy you are for calling names you make me laugh

[VadaHada69]

You might think it looks stupid, but lots of other people think it looks cool, and more importantly, adds a new degree of playability to their playing that they wouldn't get without a tremolo, you oh-so-scary internet tough guy. And if you're calling me a pussy for calling names doesn't that also make you a pussy...?

[10thmaggot]

Hey you didnt have to call me a idiot that was pretty stupid of you. You should really think before you talk

[VadaHada69]

You sure like to say stupid don't you? I actually am thinking before I talk, naturally. If I wasn't, I would be legally brain-dead, since the human mind is always thinking when conscious. The fact that I'm actually putting my words together coherently shows that I'm not brain-dead; therefore, it can be concluded that I am in fact thinking before talking.

And I called you an idiot because you made an ignorant and idiotic comment below, which started this.

[/ownage]

[DaEvILPeAcE]

dude are you sure he understood this one.

cuz even his name says he didn't!

[VadaHada69]

I doubt it.

[Mich1998l]

what have you guitar stamp

[Krazydeath66]

remember, this is shred, its not suposed to be "musical" , it rocked.

[TriviuMFreaK941]

Fast, but not really impressive. Not impressive enough to win. Still pretty cool. It just didn't seem to 'musical'

4/5.

[Mechanix1911]

Check out Dream Theater - Erotomania solo... You'll hear the first part of this entry.

[fernando6cuerdas]

A LOT OF GAINNNNN....yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!

[FunkyXTurd]

that was alot nicer than waht some people are churning out, nice one mate!

[MiniDog65]

sweet

[Mich1998l]

You Rock

[austin9919]

PUT on A ROCK FACE =D

[guitarman665]

sounds like these people suffer from picking envy rock on dude.

[alsdguitar]

well, it was amazing, but theres no emotion in it. sorry.

[Shadowbird92]

You got skill but no heart man. Im not saying it is easy it definitley isnt but you need more feeling man. Good job though it was im pretty impressive.

[hardstyle3211]

that was shit! no expression it might be hard as fuck to play but it had no feeling in it unlike the others=[

[XxLuigisMafiaxX07]

i agree.. also its jst a bunch of tremolo picking, triplets, sweeps, nothing melodic about it

[J120D]

i agree

[Kokushi666]

well hey there Malmsteen,no feel at all jsut speed and scales. i cant paly very fast at all but i put emotion into my music and trust me dude if you do that itll always sound good. it was an ok affort i nmkow it was called a "shredder search" but you have to have more than really fast scales and 1 bend

[hagstromguitarman]

it still sounded amazing i bet u could do that

[Kokushi666]

did i not say it was very good? and also that "i dont play very fast" so no shit i cant do that,not that i want to do 100mph sweeps and scales

[dukeljk]

wtf fuck dude, no give a shit about you opinion, except maybe your crack ass mama.

[Kokushi666]

are you a musician? i think he would repect my opinion and maybe take it into consideration as help,im not bashing him. you need to stfu if you dont know shit about music.

[Stashitquick]

sounds like Cowboys From Hell at 0:35

[metalrules247]

Nice EC-1000, why don't you use it in any of your other videos?

[austin9919]

DUDE U SHOULD AUDITION FOR A BAND u rock =o

[benmorris2005]

brandeno is right, but you are a great guitarist man, but all u got is speed on this one

[brandeno15]

sucked no talent given here just speed and some scale research

[evilotto77cheese]

Exactly - where's the phrasing? Where's the different length notes? Where's the interest?

Just playing mindless stuff like this is what gives shred a bad name

[nichklok]

friggin awsome job dude u should post some lessoins on how to make solos and little tips and tricks that would be awsome and very helpful

thanks keep on shredding

[huppudes]

i see you can play quitar, do not trick so much let us see what you got. peace

[darckhellion]

yeah}111you are great!!!could you give me some tips to play like you???

[twentydollarbill20]

where is the pinky! lol

[Tellica21]

my point is the majority of LTD are the lower class models.

[abjafriggitywhoo]

The vacuum just makes this sexy.

[JACKWRIGHTISBORED]

fuck mate your awesome!

[Catyclysm]

yea, with some EMG 81-85's use the neck pick up for solo'ing, it gives a clearer sound.
