[IamDoplerman]

Stop moving that shit on the fretboard like it does something.

[MMarroquin1024]

@IamDoplerman It does something, you just can't hear it. -___-

[ngatupan]

guilaaaa .. john petrucci junior ... azzzzzz... OMG ... kyak jaws ,, °\(^▿^)/°

[mayandi1459]

I like Paul Redd Smith and you?

[gnomo2368]

@mayandi1459 me too... the sound, the wood the clase... superb

[drnrqsldch]

a COPY? wtf... so originality is not the main thing of this contest...

[mojoefly]

where's the song? great bunch of licks though.

[avirtualmusician]

the face is talking but i don't listen..

[jhomarhords69]

haha X-men the movie. wolvewrine the bass guitar and gambet the lead guitar.lol

[Blitzbot]

reminds me of damage control.

[LeoKpo2]

@Blitzbot

jaws of life too

[tbeiber09]

it's always good to see someone bring something new to the table. Well Done Sir.

[brianpatrickkisa]

it's a biomechanical advantage hook grip

[TheLavista777]

you rock bro.

[RingOfRae]

This guy's got something.....I agree with the missing of a little blues like touch....but he's got something........and he's from Gutemala ! Pride to Latin America ! ....Nevertheless, a little bit more of Guatemala on it would be cool to... I mean, this was already old stuff in the USA at the end of the 80's !!!

[ylcn77ylcn]

Hi I wish you success

[pocopendejo]

Lol, the bassisst looks like wolverine, agree?

[musicgu7]

The guy is really good, no denying that!

But he wears his guitar so high he can use it as a bib!

[ProgressiveNightmare]

You can tell a lot about a man by how high his guitar is. haha

[Taahahydri89]

If it was a little less aggressive and more fused with blues it would have won him the contest. the drummer is fucking sick listen to his high hat work

[038552258]

fast note in second so good but i feel unhappy to listen your song

[tye2teb]

i didn't know that wolverine can play bass guitar xD

[riprandy318]

LOL its kinda lame

[abuff11]

Yeah!! He is a taented guitar payer in this contest. He has so cool techniques, speed, power. But he played so many notes and the sound of this song was so aggressive for me. I like more melodic and clear sound.:)

[CherubicGuardian]

Yeah definitely sounds a lot like John Petrucci. Not necessarilly a bad thing tho, guys got killer technique.

[khalidmelendez]

Esta cancion de Hedras Ramos se parece mucho al tema de John petrucci llamado "Jaws of Life" por lo menos en el intro tiene la misma tematica, It really sound like that song and obviously he is influenced by John petrucci... pero despues de todo el tema es su creacion asi q suena muy bien,Good luck Hedras Ramos

[choloconcha]

loco tocas de puta madre .....todos tienen talento pero me gusto mas tu stilo de musica suerte en lo que hagas!!!!!!!!

[metalero165]

the new dime bag darrel.

[locochupacerebros]

where did you think that this guy study??

[cosmogang]

Most of these guys need some lessons on their vibrato technique. Their notes never sing! They are just notes! I do love shred and fast guitar, but you have to know when to let the guitar breathe and let the notes sing!

[Tedisc13]

what kinda guitar is that?

[xxxlifer]

@Tedisc13 it's an over-priced Paul Reed Smith

[denisgiann]

@xxxlifer Lol i couldnt agree with you more...

[MrElotro10]

El tema es muuy parecido a uno de sfogli.. "There's hope"

Igual un capo el pibe

[EndeavorLeadGtr]

Decent playing. Song itself soundz like a "Jaws of Life" rip off to me, though. Definitely some Petrucci influence there, and my earz hear some Vai az well.

[MegaFireManiac]

how old is this guy???

[edwin523]

why dont't take musicman guitar if he likes petrucci

[kik31986]

made in CHAPINLANDIA!!!!!!!!!! YYYYEEEEAAHHHHHH

[heyho64]

maldito publico, no le apoyan! y para los putos chapines q dicen q hay mejores en guate, no se trata de eso, se trata de apoyar a este que es el q fue, partida de evidiosos mediocres.

[humpreystrong]

nice playing! but after hearing this seems like i cant remember it anymore unlike jack thammarat's "on the way" is still keeps on playing in my mind! ^_^

[heroofguitar322]

This guy thinks he's John Petrucci

[paulyboy911]

@heroofguitar322 I agree. Everything about his style is Petrucci. Even his manorisms. Nevertheless, he is very talented

[beerborn]

That Freegin capo is just too much for me. Like a loose gar belt on a womans legs...hahah! Just awsome.

[tearnfourstar]

The bass guitar has a good headstock

[cinderxl]

@tearnfourstar Totally awsome

[armenchik619]

@tearnfourstar good one

[imagenavalos]

orgullosamente guatemalteco

[RippinSkullz]

this guy looks like hes 14 and he fucking rocks

[dvasq23]

oh ok......now i know why he lost. it sounds like every other metal song ever

[mmmhm234]

i hate it when noobs don't know what they are talking about anchetamicahael009

[anchetamichael009]

that's a CAPO. you fucking idiot!

[M0rganstudios]

Err I think it's a hair scrunchie. It's used to keep the strings quiet when he taps. Notice he just bumps it down when goes for the rhythm parts, you couldn't do that with a CAPO

[TooMoLeft]

Outstanding playing and one of the best tones of the live competition! And what a beautiful guitar! What's the black thing at the second fret?

[Maten123]

It's a hairthing, they put it around the top frets of guitars so that when you skip strings with say apreggios you don't get string noise ^^

[lightyagami099]

que!

[anggitarako]

great solo but jack thammarats on the way solo really hits my sweet spot. very beautiful blues and guitar tone. still great performance fro this guy.

[Gitaristsatch]

Why is every body telling that Hedra's is better than Jack Thammarat?? I bed that this guy can't play fusion or Jazz, wtf is everybody talking about

[ibanezbloke]

Jack Thammarat cant exactly play fusion or hazz either, I'd like to point out! Dont get me wrong, I prefer Jack to this guy, but lets not say things that are not true!

[jaywhs]

@Gitaristsatch

You can't be more wrong. This guy plays all types of music. He tends to do more Metal b/c thats where his heart is at. ( I personally know him.)

[checs77]

simon bueno pero no el mejor

[FONVA]

Es bueno. Pero no es como muchos dicen el mejor de Guate. Hay guitarristas mejores en la misma Guate.

[enzo1922]

das pena vz venita a mi ksa te regalo pisto mano

[etguitar18]

PRS FTW!

[Rikxa]

the bassist looks like wolverine

[superrena]

100% chapin

[DiegoDuranProject]

Qué buen guitarrista! He visto los videos de todos los finalistas y Hedras es el que a mi parecer tocó más nítidamente cada nota. Definitivamente es un excelente guitarrista.

[fredykiller24]

muy weno

[imsorryfortomorrow]

Definite Petrucci influence

[juandeus777]

 Hedras Ramos Sr. Influence

[ofajonajdebil]

@imsorryfortomorrow

agree :D

[Joshplaysinstruments]

@imsorryfortomorrow I'd say Vai, too, don't you think?

[71GA]

@imsorryfortomorrow + satch

[icelemoncoffee]

@imsorryfortomorrow yeah man, alot of petrucci's in his playing, the way he hang the guitar also similar....

[FirePrincess6473]

Oh Good Lord!

I'm sure he'd have no problem if he decided to go into a known band!

\m/ Go Guatemala \m/

[pavlo198]

no es por ser guatemalteco pero se merecia el primero, igual los tres primeros son super buenos!!

[ozibru]

Simon arriba Guate ps :)

[FlorianDhoudain]

PRS with Floyd , first i see ! I thought signature of Mike Cantanese of Black Label Society will be the first !

[XMitsuhideX]

I really liked this one, although it was weird in spots. :/

[madyfreaky]

yeah is fan of petrucci

he is awesome

[madyfreaky]

yeah is fan of petrucci

wow is awesome

[Socanboy]

Arriba Guatemala. XD

[cabecote94]

I think he is a Petrucci's fan!

Something in this music remind me Petrucci.

[FirePrincess6473]

He certainly is

[viddelt]

They were many who tapped and phrased in guitar idol 2009... Like muris, he tapped wonderfull but no damper... But anyway, I dont have anything agaisnt it or something like that...

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

I don't think that he's bad player or so but isn't it like cheating in a way to use a damper? I mean, the cool thing about the distortion is to tame the unwanted noise, right?

[domenicometalnrock]

Yeah, i mean, that´s part of his equipment!

[Rekilo]

He shouldn't need his strings dampened if he's performing for this. Also his phrasing isn't so great. Not to mention the song doesn't work with itself at all.

[ezravdb]

what the f give him a break hes like 17 or something..

[jimmcallister]

Where's the melody? Can he, or any of these shredders play an actual song? These dexterity exercises may develop good technique but it isn't music..... Look out! INCOMING!!! HA HA

[mcpeepants1821]

troll

[Dewitt666]

Freakin' amazing

[asthepalacesburn2]

amazing, but i prefer the song "hardnut" that he does

[faig1958]

If so, you should listen to "New Sounds"

[Metalbito]

this guy sound like petrucci....but a bad copy

[etguitar18]

NICE PRS!!!

[moe354sa]

why do all these dudes have socks tied around their guitar necks?

[cmcculloch1]

to dampen the strings stop them ringing out un wantedly mainly on legato sweeping or 2 handed techniques

[faig1958]

To mute strings when when they are tapping or sweeping.

[faig1958]

I am celous, I wanna be like him xD

[FormerlyBannedUser]

What a lame/dead crowd, no appreciation... Other than watching.

[miguell2106]

amazing !

[faig1958]

2:04 to 2:06 .....How can he get that vibe, or wah. I really dont know what it is.

[DarrenDonohoeguitar]

its a diminished arpeggio

[DrJacKo]

nice.
