[TheDnm666]

Heres Paul , our janitor here at Guitar World : 0:56

[abmanc98]

1:16 TOTAL PARKWAY DRIVE STEAL!!!!!!!!!

[jinlimibanez]

yup

[Falubbh]

1:20 Such a crazy mother fucker

[spliffsperlunk]

I bet I dont want to play any of these pointless riffs.

[jminhumane69]

Betcha your jaw can't drop as low as mine did O_O

[whiteshadow1516]

Not a fan of this style of shred its impressive yet annoying

[joelioes]

In all seriousness,why don't they have guys like Steve Vai or Guthrie or Paul Gilbert do this stuff ???

[joelioes]

Sometimes i wonder who is this Betcha person....why is everyone told him that he can't play it ??? Come on Betcha !! You can do it !!!!

[grassvalleystudios]

1:58

Only decent work in here. 

[Bisson168]

@grassvalleystudios It's just sweep picking, and not a very good job of it.

[666777sam]

Chris Broderick GENIO¡¡¡¡

[guitarMaster666Poop]

Jeff Loomis's piece was only a microsecond...

I bet the tab fer that was several days long. =P

[666patrickbateman666]

Total garbage !

I rather listen to some music ! -LOL

[xFeloxX]

Oh, that man from 0:54 sucks hard hahahaha

[mynameisray]

lol it's funny, the title needs a change.. It's not "I bet you can't play this" it should be "Who in the fuck cares would would ever want to play this fucking garbage"

[SevenisNine]

@mynameisray It's for people who want to challenge themselves you douchebag!

[Alaskanandrew42]

Everyone else: Random shredding/sweeping/riffing.

Chris Broderick: WIN!

[bellion028]

Chris Broderick is like playing a fuckin' piano

[R1STATION7]

Lets see Rusty Cooley play on 5 - 5 hour energy's back to back and a snicker bar to chase it oh and a red bull 2 LOL YEA you wouldn't see his hands and probably just half of his arm LOL

[angusrokks1]

all merged together as one note...

[Metallotacia]

where is tosin?

[Voltron1774]

rusty cooley 1:54 lol

[QRCA9112]

Chris Broderick, without thinking it

[MinecraftingCZ]

0:21 Kurt Cobain live

[kimmedavid]

I dont know about you ,but shredding and tapping sounds like shit to me ,no feeling at all.

Have a nice day

[bennyboi56]

i would say the hardest to play at full speed would be rusty cooleys one but easily chris broderick is by far the most impressive

[MrConassassin]

the dude from Nile rapes everyone

[sugkrino]

Chris Broderick

[x85DogsOfWar85x]

1:21-1:40 sounds fucking awesome.....like some 16th century pianist-shredder!!!! EPIC

[masterofpuppets10893]

The best one is the last one. Technical and musical. Absolutely amazing.

[HanoobKen]

That guy starting at 0:57 shouldn't even be there. Nobody can play his shit cuz nobody would want to.

[Voltron1774]

@HanoobKen ya that was sloppy as hell ROFL!

[cartoonmarc]

I think I owe Chris Broderick 20 bucks

[Opuskrokus]

Betcha Ralph Santolla wasn't sober.

[riolop1972]

i taught them all how to play

[xDeadlyMau5x]

i like how the begginning is in BFMV font

[s0medudeonline]

:53-1:02 from this /watch?v=xCsLV5jdWzI needs to be added to this video

[davejimbobjim]

@vladycrew Well he definetly isn't chuck norris

[xxFortunadoxx]

Rusty Cooley's is without a doubt the hardest to play as he played is simply because of his ridiculous speed.

1:40 is the coolest sounding riff out of all of them.

Broderick is impressive as well.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

I bet I can't play this, either.

[l0rdslayer]

Chris Broderick destroys everyone.

[karrodeadd]

@l0rdslayer thats cause hes classicaly trained and he applies the to metal kinda like EVH

[gupie16]

Really best of? Some horrible ones in here. Had some good, but some people playing shit way above there level mostly.

[thrashsuxballs]

AT :57 HOW THE HELL IS HE GETTING PAYED FOR PLAYING GUITAR?!?! it was the most horrib; scratch that this was a nightmare.

[FedaykinShallowGrave]

Does anybody know the name of the guy playing at 1:42?

[PartyTheRock]

@FedaykinShallowGrave Mike Campese

[tbro1967]

Loved the country boy.

[alsybroth]

I can do all that, I just don't wanna.

[BiteThisLoafOfBread]

This is a warm up for Synyster Gates.

[BodybaggzTheClown9]

Fick u for not putting alexi in there c:

[omen07666]

Who's Betcha??

[lilpimpjjpimp23]

Wheres Tosin Abasi ? or Javier Reyes ?

[papalazerus22]

BORING !

[TheSeaman08]

what's this guy doing 0:57

[Livinginthemusic1]

sounds the same to me!!!!!! nothing special!

[SonathROCKGUY]

Gus-G is the boss !!! 0:33

[Hell7Vegeta8]

most of it is just stomach noise =D

[TheMetalChannelNZ]

Who is 1:40, Nice melody out of all of them. My opinion. Everybody can play anything with enough will power and practice.

[IsaacDeanMusic]

00:57 What even is that?

[mostaryankidyouknow]

But... but..... I'm a rhythm guitarist!

[mostaryankidyouknow]

But... but..... I'm a rhythm guitarist!

[JesseGotzSwagg]

no, no i cant

[ryudakera]

1:40

[schimmelpenninq]

i dont even wanna play this noisy shit...

[IOutDoSyndicate]

@schimmelpenninq Then get off the guitar.  There are some real men wanting to play it

[oliverandm]

@IOutDoSyndicate

Real men? 'Da fuck you talking about! There's loads of awesome metal guitarists out there, and i didn't see anyone in here, they all play fast yeah, but it's boring as shit. No feeling at all, it's the same fucking patterns over and over. 1:41, sounded like there was hope, then he breaks out in complete shit. Listen to Guthrie Govan. He can do this kind of shit with feeling

[IOutDoSyndicate]

@oliverandm It's called "betcha can't play this", not "betcha can't play with this much emotion"

[ogmudboneyeah]

0:58 Karl Sanders presents "Betcha don't wanna play this"

[Boddhaa]

It's gonna suck when they all get tendonitis.

[BlackenedThunder]

1:06 Makes me laugh

[MrMarktheevil1]

no brendon small?

[RiffInsane]

1:20 wtf ...... sweep-tapping? this works? lol...

[JaiSrivastava28]

No John Petrucci?

[jacobisme1996]

where are the "Meets Metal" videos not considered eligible for this.

[bullethound138]

Because of the anti-solo shit of the 90's now there is a backlash of shredders everywhere, big fucking deal, they can't write a decent riff to save their lives, let alone write an actual good song. That's why bands like Metallica and Megadeth are still the best and the biggest. The RIFF MASTERS!!!!!!!

[DrDragon63]

@bullethound138 Indeed. Everyone quit learning how to actually play now we're inundated with garbage.

[extrenix]

0:56 definitely wins....... -- _ 0

[ProjectAwesome1]

Broderick FTW!!



[wiispect]

1:40 such an amazing riff. must learn.

[UnknownSect333]

@wiispect There are tabs to it on Songsterr(.)com.

[warheart850]

Datz cool!

[flowerdrop1]

honestly most of these are pretty basic and sound like sh#t anyway

[Jamsessionroom1337]

1:21

There really was no bad guitarist, and it's really shameful that you ppl think like that because most of you have the chops of a drunken kurt cobain.

I know you can have an opinion but i bet it's a pretty shitty one if you even think one of these guitarist actually "sux" in your mind. They may not sound as great as you think but they are most likely better than you.

That brings me to the question: Where is tosin abasi?

[DoctorMcRad]

I swear to god it sounds like every time I walk into guitar center.

[stephaneboutin133]

they suck!!

[eelseth123]

Broderick and Loomis

[jordansallee]

i can play all



[TheAverageTrend]

Challenge accepted...

[livingsteals]

I bet I can play all that (if I'm John Petrucci or some demi-God)

[museman98]

@livingsteals some OTHER demigod, you've already mentione john petrucici

[lilpimpjjpimp23]

@livingsteals or Tosin Abasi

[TheSpeedyCJ]

needs more cowbell.

[cutlass93]

great, but can you play some music?

[wesmatron]

These speed guys....It's a bit like saying 'I can read a poem louder than you'. Great, so you can shout, but I'd rather hear some passion behind the words. It's like turning music into a maths lesson. Impressive, but soulless. Like clever ginger people.

[urdumbfoo]

@wesmatron the concept of this video is "I bet you can't play this" not "This is the most beautiful solo you will ever hear"

[wesmatron]

@urdumbfoo Oh, I get that, I'm just referring to speed-freaks in general

[drummin4InTheShadows]

the one at 0:58 sounded like EVERY slayer solo.... fast, not making too much sense, and fitting a squeal in there somewhere

[UseTheNukeQuick]

1:00 = retarded as hell 1:20 =King, nuff said

[KEXXX3]

Chuck Norris

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

Marc Rizzo and Mark Campese are my favorites here!

[etampier]

Betcha none of these guys can play 1:52

[LWRCftw]

@etampier 1:51 is Rusty Cooley.

[EmoShopBoyz]

Lucas Mann from Rings of Saturn did one better than all of these.

[MultiNine999]

bruaaaa wraaaaaa druuuuuum.....

[TheZombieXecutioner2]

Why is Nile on the "Best Of"??

[TrippTheVandal]

Where's Tosin Abasi? and Dave Shankle?

[tazabilly]

lol naming this video "betcha can't play this" has caused many pathetic nerds to troll out of butthurt.

[SkyesTurnBlack]

Bring Chuck Schuldiner over here.

[soundofreason1]

I don't bet, i KNOW i can't play the vast majority of these clips, but honestly i'd rather have more of a style while playing than just SHRED YOUR FACE OFF FAST PICKING LICKS

[Eduartezian]

1:11 is fake

[jbulger666]

@Eduartezian yeah ageed theres a dime and the guy doesent do a dime

[KMACCDADDY]

since when did hagrid start playing the guitar?

[Unweonbakan]

what the fuck happened Karl? you used to be good...

[k0litsas]

pfff.....

[Pitwulf]

Chris Broderick and this guy 1:58

[stefanoroma88]

1:17 Matri from juventus XDDD

[XxCoBRuLeZxX]

Yeah, betcha I can't fucking play it either

[HorizonGeetar93]

just shows you that ibby and esp are where its at

[GreyTalloN97]

0:36 stole my guitar..

[Hellwarrior1000]

1:58 was my favorite

[Fyuryun]

the most of it doesen't even impress me. yes, it's fast, but boring

[TheKonarider23]

that yellow ibanez was nasty looking, but that lick was gorgous.

[MatKiller1197]

this guy at 0:58 sucks and its funny how red he turns into he is more red than his guitar

[Ibanez3x]

I was about to say "where the fuck is tosin?", but I looked at the date. 

[mattuniversiloise]

one word: WOW

[ezescousin14213]

1:20 - 1:38 ....made video worth watching....

[aRETARTEDsquirl14]

i played all of these then i woke up .... jk i dont play guitar

[sparta435]

i could play all of those....then i took an arrow to the knee....

[ruffian1868]

Should be re-named ' Why would you WANT to play this : ) "

[ihopesome1readsthis]

most of these are just of distortion to make them sound HARDER not saying there not hard but there not as hard as they sound

[XXVLeon]

at 1:33, my mind exploded.

[glacier2win]

Numbers 9 and 10 shouldn't be in here, even though I like Nile.

[hamaars]

i wish they would play somthing nice..

[MetalHeadBanger011]

This is cool an all..but personally I think shredding is overrated.

[mettalx1]

Betcha I wont play guitar anymore

[TheBloodyfuel]

1:53



[KenobiM11]

1:40 

[mucm3]

broderick is a fuckin genius

[MrFredcebola]

chris broderick is amazing

[METALMAN2960]

the man of 0:57 Why is he here, i can play better than him man, the fuck!!!!!!!

[MCDMars]

Tbqh, a lot of this seems to be ascending minor scales played VERY fast... Lesson here is learn your scales kids XD

[HaMpUsElFsTrOm]

1:21 and 1:53 is just amesing

[austinmandrell]

Tap sweeping? 1:25 god dam..

[kevinzerox93]

@austinmandrell not simple tap sweeping =) its 8 fingers tapping =P

[rrgert4]

2:44 lol what was that hand thing :D

[MrAnomalously]

You bet your ass I can't. BTW It is all in the Hair.

[MySecretWeapon77]

woah

\

[CDunn444]

I Think Rusty Cooley, Jeff Loomis, Or Chris Broderick Won, Im One For Sweep Picking, But Broderick Is Intense.

[dadikiuz]

1:20 won

[CDunn444]

@dadikiuz That's Chris Broderick From Megadeth.

[HarmFlo]

funny, extremely hard but sounds like shit to me

[demoniccheese]

2:40 Will Weaton???

[johnnypaulie]

0:46 destroyed everybody

[TheThrasher707]

so many ugly tones..

[itsnotspeltbr00tal]

da fuck happened at 0:57 ???????

[YouSoundButtHurt]

@itsnotspeltbr00tal Looks like the guy from Nile. He fucking sucks solo but in the band he rocks.

[coughkidcough1]

0:59 who told this guy he could play?

[Valorisblack]

@coughkidcough1 now I see why you said that...

[bitchniggerization]

@coughkidcough1 lol hes actually karl from nile

[Titant2]

@coughkidcough1

He was hungover when he did this XD

[IndisposableHero]

@coughkidcough1 Isnt he from Nile?

[pooluke41]

@coughkidcough1 That's why you don't play drunk...

He's a great player... Sober..

[haggistheman1525]

@coughkidcough1 Yes... I was thinking the same thing while watching that...

[blackmetalpaul]

@coughkidcough1 that's Karl Sanders from Nile. He probably could've played something better but he is a virtuoso.

[Hellwarrior1000]

@coughkidcough1 lol, that is the guitarist of nile. in the actual video he said it was a "4 finger chord diminish thingy"

[immortalperser]

@coughkidcough1 Dude, I wish I could play like Karl did in this video- when he was tired and drunk and didn't expect the request to play "betcha can't play this."

[Tjeerdoweirdo]

@coughkidcough1 Listen to Nile, try to play one Nile riff, come back and then apologize

[BlutEisenRegel]

@coughkidcough1 Karl and Dallas were hungover and had just finished a tour when they did the video. Karl stated on his official youtube channel that he was told that they were being interviewed and had no idea that he had to play anything. btw he shreds on every Nile song so...

[coughkidcough1]

@BlutEisenRegel cool.



[Rivendark]

@coughkidcough1 Check the Nile Band and his solos there and then comment you faggy dickhead

[coughkidcough1]

@Rivendark i dont care
