That was very good. But with everything there is a down side. You have alot of skill i dont disagree with that but you have to be a bit more melodic, even with sherding. Your tapping was good but try to stay in key a bit more. After all shreding is nothing unless it sounds good.
hey, hands down, the sweeping. I have seen alot of guys who can play never be able to do the sweeping. maybe its just me, but then again i have seen a lot of guitarist. you got the talent from both sides, put it to use on a better song, and again, AWESOME
Its not fake, but its not... good. I mean yeah its cool to watch someone do things that are quite difficult to do. But what he's playing in doesn't even sound like its matching the key of the backing track.
And what scales are being used here? It looks sorta like a bunch of modes being thrown together.
Agreed.. =\ sadly. I don't usually bash videos when I don,t like them but that really is only playing fast, out of key... You don't need to be accurate with your notes or nothing.. I find it quite sad.
I find it sad that people on youtube who sit down watch a video and say it is fake because they can't do it. I mean honestly there is such a thing called talent which some people lack and eventually envy people. Though this isn't every case. As for my opinion I have to say it was pretty bad ass with the harpageos (no idea how to spell that,lol) I am currently working on those. The only thing I didn't like on this video was the distortion but that's just me.
cool playing man, keep up the work, and for those of you who make bad comments on then and say he sucks or his guitar is fake, music is about passion and feeling not being the best or anything stupid like that.
thats not a real jem is it def does not sound like one and way its made doesnt look like it ....and another thing is, its hard to believe that you were acctually doing that fast picking section at the speed, it looked sped up to me notice the way you shirt is moving shirts dont move like that in reality... but i am still going to give you props that was still pretty good guitar playing now just learn melodic and more technical stuff
I must admit some nice sweeping but it all together was really bland and didnt show much originality or emotion. Not bad though as far as a sort of mindless shred.
Great speed and pronunciation, but occasionally sloppy. I think you know you can do even better.

Shredtacular speed, but no oomph.

A lot of good players out there. Could explain the comment.
I tend to think the world needs more musicians who can play an instrumental, be it rock or not, that could hold your attention.
His playing did catch my attention. Enough so that I'd be interested in getting his CD, and then seeing where he goes from there.
