[321PieMan]

[MetalForce147]

[adams77ify]

[tomtom99887]

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

[xxTriviumFreakxx]

@bedofrazorsqwerty Thank you good sir.

[DoobieSmokes]

Didnt even know you could change to 240p lol

[Krickit101]

Sweeps are hard yeah but it doesn't take years of 2 hour a day sessions to learn them :p lol I got 5,6,7 strings down in less than two weeks or so. Three strings are the damn hard ones.

[DescentFromHeaven]

@Krickit101 how are 3 strings sweeps the hard ones?! I got those in minutes... those are the 1st ones i got xD

[mikemgw18]

@Krickit101 no, you just think you have them down, I bet they sound like horse shit when you play em >:)

[FlameAssassinPRS]

@Krickit101 haha, no idea how to do the 5 6 and 7 string sweeps, i can only do 3 string sweeps :P as far as im concerned, 5 6 and 7 string sweeps are ridiculous :P

[c4bb4g3]

@Krickit101 doing the individual shapes of any sweep is the easy part, it's linking them together musically that takes the most time.

[PGspeed88]

@Krickit101

Never tried seven, but 3's, 5's, and 6's are easiest to me, in that order, then 4's. I learned how to sweep about that quick too.

[widomaker66]

awesome!

[Piecakesman]

nice

[Raul1Silva]

Tabs???

[jesusvalles54]

Go randall, fuck marshall, and this guy is awesome!

[SinisterFlames]

@jesusvalles54 Easy there fanboy... everybody has there own taste in sound...

[Shreddur666]

sweepings kinda easy

[cjk100000]

@Shreddur666

Anyone can 'sweep', but sweeping properly isn't easy.

[MrStratosfear11]

What the heck!

[ArchSaur]

Sweep is f***in' tough - I'm trying and trying but can't even do simple stuff. If once it starts to work, next time I hold guitar and/or pickup differently or what, dunno, but next time I can't do it at all again.

[guitaralafreak]

@ArchSaur it's really hard...took me about a year or more since i first started practicing 3 string sweeps but now i can do a variety of 5 string sweeps and even some 6 string

[Anarchyffan]

@ArchSaur You won't be able to for a very long time. It's A LOT of practice.... Like two hours of just sweeping a day....

[maximcaron]

@Anarchyffan cause everyone has the same learning ability right

[webrokeyourbed]

[Jo3M]

awesome talent

[nneevveerrmmoorree]

Hess rocks out!..ala Bellas Ziras Loomis and Batio..keeps classical shred alive

[TheKidGuitarist]

What arpeggios should I use in neoclassical shred metal? Are there any specific ones?

[iTzMattz]

Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor.

[o0SaltyBat0o]

Diminished is used a lot, other than that, just learn the basic major and minor chord shaped arpeggios, and try to link them together, for instance an E shape to a C shape to an A shape, all with the same root, A for instance. then just built up from stuff like that.

[lucadepu]

minor 13th

[DragoniteAus]

you can use you know melodic minor scales, harmonics minors and chromatics scales...I don't know I maybe wrong but mostly combine most Melodic Minor scales with the standard Minor Scales...if you want try looking to some neo-classical guitarist like Yngwie Malmasteen (sorry if my spelling is incorrect his last name is hard to spell) for example or check out Micheal Angelo Batio's the Finish Line

[mpm1900]

Am scale is big one, learning the arpeggios of that scale is a good start.

[meridiano976]

7 Dim. Arpegio

[jimmymook6]

Definitely some Yngwie licks in there, but I like his melodies way more! Really nice.

[CrimsonghostT138]

rob halford? hahh badasss!

[SNiPeZzzzZzz]

I really like his playing!! he's a master

[blackartist90]

good!!

[skeetkingg13]

this guy is pretty damn awsome

[ninphous]

wow... i did not think he would be this good.... my jaw is on the floor right now

[15viceandvirtues]

i honestly thought the title was exaggerated...

Damn, how wrong i was!!

[1madaboutguitar]

Thats because so many guitarists DO exaggerate their titles, but as you said This is about as far away from an exaggerated as you can get...Tom is surblime!

[bucketfan4life]

... Wow.

[WishingBones]

this is what i call skill

[Leonard3882]

ownz

[TotalRandomRequest]

He's the second best guitarist i've seen... Joe Satriani is first. I don't Know whare I'm gonna put Kerry King...
