Kinda crazy i was in the elevator with Rusty and i didnt notice till he got out of the elevator

[HankHillshred]

nice username gutiarnutter1

[maneatingtoilets]

Imagine the amount of practice he would have to have done. BORING. Sounds like shit for something that takes years of practice. I am impressed though.

[xxcannibalxchristian]

this is a hammer.

[UnpopularPoppy]

[GrunesMannchen]

[XJensJuliusX]

00:50 Nice delay :)

[Jago433]

took you 50 seconds to explain, and 3 seconds to play the whole thing. dang.

[crimsonaltruist]

He's playing in F#, not G...

[signitureDGK]

i rofled so hard when he started sweeping like mad and the video was lagging LOOOL looked soo jokes

[Ichzeigdirwasichkann]

WTF? :O



[The34zyD]

I don't know, but I might've just pooped a little.

[TheCorent]

i can play this sweeping too,but only when i sleeping..

[cmentalppl]

Fucking insane wow just learning how to sweep def got a life time and a half before il get that good

[BrianJLeong]

He doesn't look like Nicko, he has a nose

[chevellejack]

Sounds like a lousy version of the star spangled banner.

Then he starts saying 'left, right, up , down, up, down, more down, left , other left, over, under, sit speak ,sniff that other dogs butt.

[Lautarozcaglione]

FATALITY

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

Wow

[rod3067]

alright so first we do this and that......and then bluuueerweeueerueeeeop........­..easy! ¬¬ i think i hate rusty........

[MrEthera]

used sparingly sweep picking arpeggios sound really cool and exciting. Just don't overdo it!

[Makaxt]

0:56 Oh...oh Wait ..here is the whole thing slow....

[96siciliano]

i've got many problems from 0:54 to 0:57

[Pepelopeina]

como regularcito...

[Derangedxzombie]

...........

What?

I'd rather watch that kinda sweep picking all day than fail at learning it lol. But noo I won't give up!.. No seriously, fuck this.

[casbah1982]

Very impressive; and Rusty is an incredibly talented player. But I just don't see the creativity and the art in this to where I could listen to a full album of this over an over and love this kind of soloing. I can listen to a Jimi Hendrix song or Stevie Ray Vaughn solo over a 25 year period and still love it and never tire of its creation. I just don't get that same feeling with a technical sweep picking solo.

[virtuosolomon]

@casbah1982 totally agree...everything he makes just lacks creativity, let alone feeling. He plays so fast that he misses out on phrasing. I recently bought the outworld cd...let's just say he can move his fingers fast on a guitar neck, nothing too much more.

[casbah1982]

@virtuosolomon Right, I totally respect musicians that can play like this and play well; but to me it's like doing calculus problems where you pull your hair out in frustration if you don't do it right. I get more enjoyment out of my guitar when I create with good melodies that feel right, straight from the Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Vernon Reid, and Kirk Hammett school.

[TCreationGtr1603]

@casbah1982 Y u watchin Rusty Cooley videos then hahaha.

[casbah1982]

@TCreationGtr1603 cos he is fuckin the best at what he does. i didn't like everything chet atkins did, but he is the best ever at everything guitar

[TCreationGtr1603]

@casbah1982 Touche. Good answer.

[NolitaDenise]

@casbah1982 - you're in the wrong Rusty Cooley video if you're looking for creativity and art. it's so obviously a video lesson. is a paintbrush art? no! but you can use one to create art. a single sweep picked arpeggio's not art but you can use the technique to create art. it's really that simple.

[50Cal420]

@NolitaDenise yea so simple, anyone walkin down the street in a fuckin hick town can play this with there fucking eyes closed, sleeping, underwater, hands tied behind ther back, in space, while a cow is licking ther ass, can easily play this.

[frifasS]

0:53 face: beast mode on 

[JaccRabbit52]

My teacher took lessons from him. I'm fuckin jealous.

[Nathankthanks]

When he is doing it slow and the video is almost over i'm like, oh he isn't gonna do it fast again :( but then he somehow fits it all in to like a billionth of a second.

[MegaCrappyusername]

0:53 PREPARE TO SHIT BRIX

[Aurelisdoom1]

[pooluke41]

@ellogovenah2011 Don't lie... You are a very Funny Person.

[njalkat3]

@ellogovenah2011 Dude quit dissing on all these guitarists. Hey everybody this guy thinks that Slash can outplay Yngwi Malmsteen, and he says that he could play arpeggios from hell in his sleep LOL. Yngwie would outplay slash with his eyelashes.

[ellogovenah2011]

@njalkat3 your gay :)

[njalkat3]

@ellogovenah2011 wow lol nice come back what are you two? Quit trolling fag.

[15mercyfulfate]

[xzenzeixmetal]

[str8shot2020]

i think at one point he just begins to make up random shit

[RyWhitakerGuitarist]

doesn't even sound good fast though because of the weird time signatures it appears to use

[killastrings1]

rusty cooley :D awesome guitar player horrible guitar teacher

[cromaticas]

5x slower would have sounded so much better..

[janecroft]

Technically this is of course interesting, but I think musically this guy is sooooooo boring.

[17secret]

something happened to the video around 0:53..

[theoriginalMaxman2]

press 7 repeatedly for brain melter

[MrEllinaras]

c < rusty cooley shredding speed

[gitarrojoe]

he looks a bit like nicko mcbrian xD from iron maiden

[MrPauull]

rusty cooley is the best guitarist in the world

[HillaryHitler]

@MrPauull

No he IS NOT

[callmegeezuz]

Okay, so let me get this straight, getting as good as you is as easy as sacrificing a goat, selling my soul to Satan, and learning how to Spooge a hole in the spacetime continuum?

[alilmetalkid]

i just started laughing halfway through... kind of in sadness that no matter how much i practise i am nowhere near as good as that....

[julienvervaecke]

@alilmetalkid it's always take time just believe and practice all days

[guitarpedant]

This is a physically very impressive feat. Pity it sounds like ass.

[AtomicPunk1995]

I blinked at 0:55 - 0:57. Did I miss something?

[rageagainstboxhead]

HEY! WHERE'S HIS BEARD??????

[Mwz92]

his speed is 2 much, notes dnt make sence anymore

[ScarecrowGuitarist]

that is a verry fun sequence

[gtechatheist]

I hate these fucks who come in and say that this stuff is too fast, and constantly reminding us that fast doesn't mean it's good music. They're right of course, but that's a double edged sword; just because it's too fast for your possibly genetically inferior brain to comprehend it doesn't mean it lacks musicality. This is why people like Justin Bieber are fucking millionaires and this guy probably barely scrapes by economically and is still a mother fucking baller champion.

[Conkyproductions]

@gtechatheist Most people you will run into are stupid. The majority of people are not going to be able to enjoy complex music. Why do you think pop music and rap are so popular? Simplicity. The average listener cares more about the "Image" associated to the song, then any of the actual music. This is why you have bands that completely suck, that sell out concerts. Simply because they have a "cool image". Until that changes, popular music is going to be crap.

[gtechatheist]

@Conkyproductions To my knowledge, this only reiterates my point. I suppose you're just asking me to get over it. I'm quite over it, I assure you. I've accepted these things, but I don't need these fuckers coming into a vid that's meant for serious guitar players attempting to learn shred techniques and complaining because it doesn't sound fucking musical enough. It's an exercise for christ's sake, what do people expect?

[Conkyproductions]

@gtechatheist I sort of just randomly replied to your comment lol, it wasn't exactly targeted towards a specific person. The majority of people on youtube have absolutely no idea what they are talking about most of the time.

[GoreSmasher]

@gtechatheist I agree with everything you said except for one thing. Justin Beiber is actually talented and has played instruments for awhile. I'm not a fan of the genre, but to automatically insult musicians because they're popular and pretty is as musically ignorant as saying fast playing isn't musical. I like mostly rock,alt, and death metal by the way.

[gtechatheist]

@GoreSmasher I think you just said that Justin Bieber was pretty. Interesting. But no seriously, read my post, I never actually insulted Bieber. I just said that most musicians make millions of dollars doing something which is really simple to do, and which takes really just a modicum of actual musical talent.  Meanwhile, folks like Rusty Cooley practice their whole lives to achieve virtuosity and are relegated to obscure youtube lessons where they get slammed for not being musical.

[GoreSmasher]

@gtechatheist You can have all the technical skill in the world, but if you can't write a good song, you won't go anywhere. I admire guitarists like Cooley, but I can't just listen to people showing off in the same way I listen to bands. It's dull as far as song writing goes. Take Pink Floyd and Opeth. The strength of both of these is masterful song writing even though the music isn't especially complicated. I don't like music that is focused on just one aspect instead of the song.

[GoreSmasher]

And yes, Bieber is pretty. I can't think of any way to make that not sound gay so oh well.

[AJD7DC]

What kind of guitar is thaT? It looks like mine lol

[sanjinator17]

@AJD7DC it probably isnt

[AJD7DC]

@sanjinator17 I have an Ibanez RG5ex1 and his looks a lot like it

[LOLPombaer]

As much as I'm into shred guitar: Rusty is proof that there IS such a thing like "playing too fast". He's incredibly fast. But at this tempo, choice of notes doesn't even matter. He could play completely bogus "arpeggios" and it would sound exactly like what he just played - ugly and crap. He really needs to leave some room for tonality and musicality in his stuff. Also, if he would cut down the gain, maybe he could have something that could be called a "tone".

[SevenStringShredHead]

@LOLPombaer thumbs down for ignorant comment

[LOLPombaer]

@SevenStringShredHead Double thumbs down for sheer stupidity.

[SevenStringShredHead]

@LOLPombaer given your incredible musical enlightenment, i have to concede defeat to you, in honor of your exceeding brilliance i shall now go around telling olympic runners they have "too much" endurance, powerlifters they're "too strong", boxing champions they've won "too many" fights, star quarterbacks they throw "too well", and nuclear physicists they're "too smart"

[Aremine]

@SevenStringShredHead i kinda have to agree that this stuff there didnt sound too good. ofc it was clean and super fast but somewhere is the border u know

[SevenStringShredHead]

@Aremine as long as your open minded your more than welcome to have your own opinion, i happen to think this sounds really fucking cool but that's just the difference in our tastes, what i hate is ignorant fucksticks who don't know shit about music (probably dont even play an instrument) who go off saying stupid shit like LOLPombaer was saying

[sanjinator17]

@LOLPombaer and you're a piece of shit

[kbr12080]

are you kidding me?!?

[SuperOxideDimutase]

fast arpeggios, that's the secret huh?

[mikepshena]

Nothing this guy does has inspired me or made me want to do what he does. He fast as fuck, thats all. I of course wouldn't mind having his technique but Id put it to better use then him. Petrucci is my man. Tosin Abasi to..

[IxImCrAzYxI]

O_O . K guys brb, going to go throw my guitar off of my roof.

[EskilRask]

I think my pokemon just leveled up.

[95ApEx95]

@Sonnydrummer It's really not that hard to understand when you know how to do a sweep... >.>

[SanctumZero]

@imawesome89100 Do I win anything if I give the right answer?

[imawesome89100]

[xttocx]

@tripwire2581 roflroflrofl



[neverendingscotty]

This guy is far from Rusty, but he sure is Cooley!

[xttocx]

@neverendingscotty oh man.....

[neverendingscotty]

@xttocx hahaha its was pretty terrible hey. Can't believe it has 5 thumbs up :P

[MatKiller1197]

starts at 0:52

[gjunki]

lol i actually laughed when he played it fast

[deathcore1239]

he ruined that 7620 with those EMG's

[Santeora]

He Is Too pro that my com started to lag

[24fret7string]

@guitar789: I respect the point, truly. A well-rounded player would be 1 part Rusty Cooley and 1 part Bill Frissell. What I've learned through an experience like yours is this. Thoseyears of practice GET YOUR TECHNIQUE OUT OF YOUR WAY. They remove any hindrences to your self-expression. I would hate for you (or anyone else) to think it is "wasted time" to build sheer skill.

[guitar789]

I started learning how to shred until I reached 240 bpm (16 nps) after 4 years of daily practice. Then I realized, what the hell were I doing all these years? I finally started to learn guitar without shred and sweeps because that doesnt sound too musical and just impresses people for some seconds. It is really not worth the effort to pract. a lick 100 times each day just to get it down one day. A know a bunch of shredders who realized they know nothing yet when listening to i.e. Scotty Anderson

[iamrathercool12121]

@guitar789 same happened to me

gets boring too

[jimbang]

amazingly fast

[monkeyx17]

it sounds like ass when he plays it fast though

[kolliasmalmsteenown]

@monkeyx17 That's because he almost reached the limit of the human ears =/

[gitarmats]

@monkeyx17

Now that's just your opinion... I personally like the way it sounds fast, I like the texture of lick at fast speed. At slow speed to me it doesn't sound interesting at all, but when he plays it up to speed it gets that texture.

[6project6nightmare6]

took him 1minute 14secs to explain and play slowly and 3 to play at his speed =0

[7HEMUSIC]

sounds like the "May I help you?" riff from wayne's world.

[DarknessUnited]

"We're gonna start on the tinth... fret" Lmfao! Nice one...

[yoheff988]

how does a person with small hands deal with a 251/2 scale guitar?

[speeluh]

Great playing!!!

Please check out my: "Damn Jam!"

Fred

[helmerke94]

der kann das nicht xD

[GuitarFretMan]

Go to 01:12 if you want to see the thing up to speed.

[konrid22]

hey man don't you hear when you play it slow that the melody is ridiculous piece of shit? ;d

[alexander371zxd]

im son of cuck norris and you never!! can play this... bitches!

[linkindudeLP]

@alexander371zxd

no because the son of chuck norris can spell.

[JackClassical]

I'd like to see this guy play some Animals As Leaders stuff.

[ForneusDdr]

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-­

[jake9308]

WHAT THE FUCKK?????!!!!!!!!

[invisibleblood100]

he went from like 2 notes per second to like 21
