  • Hmmm, this is me about 7 or 8 years ago before I started shaving my head,...it apears it was uploaded from my old page. I have some current vids of my playing with out effect while standing up,....I ASSUSE YOU MY VIDS ARE NOT SPED UP ! ! !  ( MY DOG IS EVEN RUNNING AROUND IN A COUPLE OF THEM

  • not clean...

  • suck

  • sounds better than Yingwee Palmstink

  • These solos remind me of super mario for some reason! xD

  • I think that you might want to go easy on the distortion a bit. The melody is very nice, but the low end feedback kills the vibe.  You might want to take a page from jon roth's book and take the neo classical music clean(ish)

  • why?

  • ITS LIKE A WALL OF SOUND. Makes me giggle. All and good but where's the feeling? I don't even get that adren. rush I usually get from metal. Maybe a better mike would help.

  • I think it'd sound a lot better if you removed the delay.

  • I didn't realize it at the time, but it is the same as Hotel Cal. it's in am instead of bm.

  • looks cool, sounds ok

    try putting it to a backing track and then it might sound even better

  • The first 15 seconds reminds me of the Hotel California solo for some reason!

  • So that's what that was from. I was trying to remember, thanks =D

  • Haha! Not a problem man! Glad I could help!

  • you have very good technique, but i'm just not hearing any heart and soul in your playing. jimi hendrix had almost no technique, but he made it so far because he put all his joy and pain into his guitar. by the way man, whats up with the stuff at the end? -_- lastly, just go look for some inspiration and write something other than a bunch of arpeggios in a progression. add some scales, change it up a bit, don't go so heavy on the sweeps, and you got yourself a solo

  • You don't get it, do you? Feeling is subjective, you can't say that he doesn't play with feeling.

    Maybe there are some people that see the beauty in the melody (there actually is one)

  • Dude, that was awesome! Can you tell me what the 5 chords in that chord progression for the gnarly sweeps at the beginning were? Thanks

  • my guitar teacher would probably punch you if he saw you somewhere, but then again you're good but lack the heart to play as skillfully as you could

  • Why would your guitar teacher rpuch me in the jaw,...Do I owe him money?

  • Can't deny that it takes a lot of skill to play like this, but honestly it just got really annoying after a few seconds. I think slower would have been better. But that's just me.

    I think you should play the same exact thing again, only slow it down. Just a thought.

  • Tasteless. I hear mindless shred. Doesn't sound good to me.

  • please send a tab for this, its amazing

  • good work but I would have liked it better with a setting with less spring reverb and at a slower tempo. It would have sounded more impressive without all the string rakes and your hand hitting the bridge being amplified by a thousand

  • Yeah, I hear this played back after my friend already posted it. The empty room also makes it echo even more. I probably should have played it completle dry i with the echo of the room.

  • Great playing man, but next time you should try to line you processor or amp right into the computer so you can get full digital sound, instead of just using a mic to your computer,

    i love youtube for this reason you get to see people that you would never otherwize play, it gives me hope, because i cant stand these "Rock band" looser kids thes days :)

  • Hey VincentSinclair do you have any tips for that?

  • that was cool lol

  • neverending!

  • Is this on expert?

  • LOL

  • simply amazing!!!

  • Oh my god this is so amazing! How many strings do you use for each arpeggio you play?

  • nice stuff. /m/ and i play punk rock, lol.

  • guitar solo?you are the worst guitarist of the world!!!!!!!!!!go to play house music!!

  • man you really like Line 6 dont you? line 6 amp, line 6 guitar, probably a line 6 chord.

  • line 6 guitars suck im sure. there amps are pretty cool for digital affects though.

  • I catually had the jack of a chord break off in this amp, and it's got some kind of digital mimput. I have two Marshall stacks, and my experiance with line 6., I think they have too many components and wouldn't recomend anyoneone getting anything from them except maybe their $99 15Watt practice amp. If you want an extra cheacp knock-around to toat around for auditions or to make vids I'd go with a Fender sidekick.

  • actually some are actually not that bad, if you know what you are getting. my dad actually has had 3 line 6's and he says that they are really great. he didn't give me the details.

    as far as the amps go, yea you're basically right. they are good, but you never see anyone who's really famous use an amp, or guitar for that manner.

  • Ive got the line 6 amp 15 watt spider 3. Um man it is HARD to get a good tone out of that thing. Im not running it through anything just raw dog. I though it was my fingers at first and then I played on a roland and, what do you know, it wasent my fingers. Wouldnt recommend line 6 sppider3 for anyone except a begginer.

  • Not all amps are good in all settings. The problems when you go to a big store to buy and compare amps. If you're buying a small solid state amp you should also listen to it in the sound room that has the large amps in it. If you're going to spend big dollars on a large tube amp you should hear what it listen to what it sound like on the sales floor also. You may even want to bring your own guitar, if your pickey about the pick-ups in all your guitars.

  • Yeah Ive got EMG 81 85s in my ibanez art 100 but it just cant get any justice done without running it through anything to the spider

  • Iv'e got the line six spider 3 15 watt and i love it. I run it through a boss distortion pedal and get sweet tone. I don't know what oyu guys are talking about.

  • Im talking I wish it had better sound out of box, I cant even get a decent tone from that thing. Just sad you have to run it through something just to get a good tone

  • But since im stuck with my amp for now what kind of boss pedal you using?

  • the pedal is a Boss Metal Zone MT-2.

    but i can also get good tone from just the amp. use the metal setting, high treble, everything else around mid. works great for my purposes. I mostly use the pedal for soloing.

  • it would have sounded better if you did sweep picking in the beginning.

  • Yeah,..I think it was just the way I was practicing at the time. I wasn't so much thinking of how I was playing it I guess.

  • oh.. that makes more sense. you still have really good skill.

  • i just came

  • sweetness

  • that was awesome

  • This is great! To all the haters...you obviously have no idea about what you're talking about.

    How can you not hear the classical riffs he's playing (blindingly fast I might add)?

    The only thing is that the reverb on the amp needs to be turned down as it's also combining with the room's natural reverb.

  • remember when u were noob u couldnt even distinguish the guitar and the vocal.

    same for them, everytime the guy hit 8 note they think it sound like 1. I can hear them all and this shit sound beautiful. Noobs can resume their slipknot videos.

  • yea dude too much.

  • I like shred but, mine too.

  • Schecter or PRS?

  • whats with the negative responce!? If you listen closely you can hear the magic of things he plays. No feeling you say? thats because you can't hear what he plays. It is supadupah fast yes indeed! That's what makes it supergood. I find this man's playing very inspirational. He's awesomely good XD

  • that sucked

  • thats crazy fast but thats all it is, no feeling or emotion is put into that, yeah its super fast but it needs to have more than just speed to be a good solo, solos that are that fast just always sound the same, you can never tell the difference in the way they sound because they are all the same tempo, especially when arpeggios are that fast, they all sound alike

  • am i the only one that actually think's that sucked?... yea its fast... but it sounds like a bunch of random bullshit.

  • agreed

  • I agree, its just a high pitched load of sound, its incredibly fast but lacks real musical talent.

  • where can i find a tablature of this solo?

  • look in your ass

  • ROFL MAO

  • dude, asking for tab is gay. does anybody ever say, "Here you go - here's the tab for the improv solo I just ripped!"? I already know the answer -- NO. So quit asking. If you can't figure things out by ear, you're never going to be worth a shit as a guitarist. So listen to it 50,000 times to figure it out if you have to, but stop asking for tab.

  • what a dick

    a simple no would have answered the guys question

  • Coming from somebody who obviously needs tab to learn something. Dude, just sell your guitar and go buy guitar hero.

  • jeez

    fuckin' hater

    go get a hug from your daddy or something

    that should make you a better person

  • HOW DO YOU TAB THAT SHIT???!!!

  • Great job, but man who are these people that come in here having a good idea what to expect and still whine? Go play guitar hero bastards

  • nice job dude! i could tell you used a lot of hard work on that! nice!

  • sporadicreaper, you stupid, shred solo, hence the FAST SHREDDING. of course it ownt be slow. and to the retard to thinks this is sped up, go fuck yourself

  • it had a hint of malmsteen in there.

  • yea but there is a tad of shit in there, oh wait its all shit

  • its speed up. u know why?? cuz in order to have that much reverb and delay in spider amps you need at least 3 or 4 seconds between blinking. but this is sped up.

  • i would love to hear it with drums or some form of beat but fast playinig for def lol

  • SHRED

  • I think the guy achieves what he wanted to demonstrate - to me it sounded great!

    NICE ONE!

    A tip for the moaners - if you like your music slow try searching for the following tags "slow music" try to avoid searching for anything with "fast" or "shred" in the tags.

  • I just wish the sound was a tad cleaner. Some of the scale changes sounded cool, but it took too much effort to want to hear them.

  • most of you guys commenting suck!

    it´s a shred solo, so what are you expecting? and dont talk shit like "i like melody so this suxx"

    SO DONT WATCH IT FUCKTARDS!!

    he did an amazing job on how you can use some techniques in a real fast way. thats all!

    great job buddy

  • Sounds more like one of malmsteen's practice routines than a solo to me... Then again most of malmsteens solo's sound like practice routines.

  • lol... hmmm, isnt it a good thing to slow down every once in a while??

  • poor vote for speed up.

  • lmfao at mixers comment

  • it sounded like shit to me

  • no shit

  • ???

  • I read in some place something like "anyone can shred". Really, im getting close. But to play a dominant scale is not impressive or valuable anymore, and yes, this video was added in march 25, 2006, but WTF, i've seen a hunred videos like this one, good potential, NO CREATIVITY

  • where's the melody? I mean it's cool you can play that fast but it isn't really music, it's just showing off. it's cool, but I wouldn't listen to it if it was on a CD.

    Try to work on putting feeling into it as well

  • It's a solo... That's why it's not on a CD. Just a video...

  • I know, but I guess I'm just used to a more melodic quality in a solo than insanity on six strings. he'd make a good DragonForce stand-in!

  • uh there is def melody lol..that is such a typical repsonse to a shred solo. You can hear the chords and stuff lol maybe not near the end but, in the first 30 seconds, sure

  • hmm... now that I listen again, yes, but after that he just kinda spiraled out of control xD

  • you'd be pro if you could play that fast. the light for the delay on the line 6 doesn't flash that fast so you must of sped the video up. it still sounds cool though

  • lol at u.

  • That delay button is tap-tempo, meaning you can push it twice really fast and the delay would be that speed.

  • Asombroso amigo. Mis respetos. Sigue así.

  • Slow it down and i might enjoy it for what large array of notes exist in amongst that speedfest ;o

  • shreddings great for what it is, but i tend to leave it to the cerial manufacturers, don't get me wrong, I think your an amazing guitarist, and I wish I could sweep/tap/shread like that, but I just think that sort of playing is showboating - looks good, technically brilliant, musically a bit naff. sorry :(

  • CRAZY SOLO!!!!!

  • o_O that was awesome I want to play like this!!!!

  • Nice!

  • i love the flashing lights on the line six amps xD

  • When art was first born, so was the critic... Awesome skills.

  • The spider III is very forgiving, so its hard to pick out mistakes. but a little songwriting talent would made this go a long way.

  • well that just sounds like noise

  • i agree with MFHCFH.

    It's great that you can play fast, and I admire that, because that takes a lot of skill, but it's not about how fast you can play. And it gets really old, really fast. It's about music, and if you can make music, and the musicality of what you play.

  • nice socks

  • is it a line 6 amp?

    Cos I have one, and I absoloutley adore it =]

    Awesome playing btw.

  • dude that ws amazing

    i love it when its so fast it sounds inhumane haha

    got to love it

    check out my shred :)

  • beeindruckend ,nur leider ist es keine musik ,schade

  • The speakers' light is flashing...its a signal saying 'of God, why, i can't go that fast, please...please...save me...he's to good...omg" lol.  Insane

  • awesome.

  • its a shame the accoustics suck. HOly shit man.

  • shit! thats awesome

  • dude,,, are you tweeking right here or what? That's just too much. Right on for being able to do it though

  • that amp is a line 6 spyder 2 isnt it? about what settings is it on?

  • its actually just noice. but you are really good and you play clean, but why must everybody try to be the fastest. its always like mario on accid.i think mab has started a trend

  • Because Every guy likes speed in every way. Driving a car, bike, in a guitar and everything else :D And what would be cooler to oneself than SHREDDING LIKE HELL!!

  • is that a line 6 amp?

  • Wow!  You should be in the next guitar idol contest.

  • that is just random crap i could do that

  • Pics or it didn't happen.

  • prettycat67 that is just random crap i could do that

    O.K. You've thrown down - let's hear it.

  • Let's see, when you gonna post a video?

  • you must be the dumbest bitch i've ever seen

  • lots of the same symetrical patterns movin aorund. its good but its not rele as hard as it seems. pretty god but the "timbre" in the room and the extra echo do tend to irritate.

  • Ah, I love that guitar, what model is it, and where can I find it?

  • Good thing you aren't gurning, otherwise i'd pretty much have to kill you.

  • it sounds good and everthing but i think you pause to much between each section i meen its so fast then there a little pause but its a pretty cool song

  • change the tone up on that amp, it's painful to listen to, the playing is good, but change up the settings a bit.

  • Yeah, my friend recoring this in his house didn't give me much time to check the playback sound and insisted doing the vid in that empty room that ended up getting that irratating extra echo and that strange tamber.

  • that sounded like a train wreck

  • I don't really know what you were doing at the end, but man, I am really impressed overall. You play really smoothly and manage to fit difficult sweeps into tight spots, among other things. Overall you seem to have an excellent sense of the fretboard. Keep it up man, I'd love to hear some of your recorded stuff.

  • great solo man. CTROCK THE HIP HOP ROCK GUITAR ARTIST

  • It was really good

  • holy jesus !

  • Holy jesus indeed!

  • WOW

  • Oh my god :O

    You use WHITE SOCKS... -.-

    Isn't that a little feminine ?

    (Just kidding with you)

  • My face is officially melted, and you have my dream guitar you cunt - I love you 0_o

  • Thanks, I believe it's a Schecter Gryphon. I don't usually prefer most Schecters, but this one is a strat scale and has a bare neck. It also has the 24 frets and maple top like most of their models.

  • I knew it was Schecter, I'd recognize that body anywhere. I will be receiving a Jackson MG Series DXMG Dinky Electric - 24 frets, not only does it look and sound badass, it's only 450 dollars :D

  • I'M BLIND!!!

  • jeep,thats what they call "speed" but to be honnest its more like "look mami what i can"

  • i belive thats a camera mic recording

    explaning the bad audio

    but with some backing tracks this could sounds all right

    to the people that disagree

    liten to differnt types of metal to understand

    instead of staying at one sub-genre and saying everything else sucks

  • first 4 or so runs sounds like hotel california...

  • Fast, none the less...sounds like shit, none the less...mindless shredding is ok if your just getting some aggression out or something but, if thats the extent of your playing abilities [not speed abilities], "playing abilities", then you needs to re-evaluate...

  • yup...he's fast... but yes boring... its like theorecly wrong i dont know... i just dont think its wright

  • guys stop bashing him... its REALLY hard to find something as boring as this solo so at least give him that ;)

  • oh no! the skies are collapsing! urgh!

  • Nonsense shreder....

    Boring, u should learn SOME rhythm from Paul Gilbert who shreds but with FEELING!

  • great playing man. CTROCK THE HIP HOP ROCK GUITAR ARTIST

  • your playing drives me up a wall. usually i like fast shit but not here

  • If that isn't sped up - then you are one of the fastest players I've seen. I guess I shouldn't criticize people for speeding things up because I know the feeling of being accused of that.

  • Thanks, but right off the top of my head check out Chris Impellitteri, Shawne Lane, and that guy from Symphony X (I believe his name is Mike Romero). ALL those guys are faster than me. And althought he plays a totaly different style of guitar I actually heard some records of Frak Gambale playing probably faster than anyone. When I play in a context of a song I try to play with much more feel and style than in the soloexamples.

  • ok dats enough ok

  • The light on the amp will tap as fast as you tap it... It's a tap delay... It's how they work:)

  • this is waaaay sped up. the blinking on the amp isn't that fast (i have the same model).

  • Go back and read the owner manule. There's something wrong with your amp if you can't tap the delay speed in that fast. Then do a music search on METALdaly, then if you still think I'm a fake comment back.

  • your are all just jealous

    this guy is mad

  • actually, it does look sped up. look at his leg while he's playing. it's jiggling around at synthetic speeds. also, the light on his amp is beeping super fast.

  • all i can say was that was fuckin beastly WTG 6 stars for that crazy shit

  • dude, thats sick :O but at some parts its looks speeded up... but dont think it is :/

  • that's Wow..speechless...

  • Then why did you bother coming to a neoclassical guitar video?

    And to answer your question, it's hard to hear with this guys video but it's very melodic, at least neoclassical shredding is.

  • he obviously came to see this video because he wanted to see a neo-classical solo-- not shred.

  • cuz a lot of people luv shredding.

    go cry somewhere else.

  • nasty bastard that was amazing

  • OMG :)

  • amazing

  • i have that amp!!

  • it would be cool if it was a little slower and cleaner. :)

  • easy

  • While that was very very good. I think you should do more than just sweeps, Fly picking, and tapping. Try some stuff that isn't all 32nd notes either. Other than that it's great. Good job, good guitar, good amp.

  • man,can u send ma a tab 4 this?

  • The first few arpegieos are similar to the intro to Hotel California, (in a different key). I didn't plan it that way, it just kind of came out that way.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • I don't really care if the sound quality isn't as pleasing. But you cant deny that the composition of this piece if excellent. I wonder who composed it and whats the name of it.
