@timmy47 I've found the same thing. Seems like there's a lotta potential, but most of the people utilizing the technique appear to be stronger performers/technicians than they are innovative composers.
bet he hasn't come up with much else to do with this style, thats the crap end of it, it's impressive and makes you look cool, but you just can't be unique with it. just about every song in this style is going to sound the same, he's good, but this improv doesn't make him good, it's his technique which makes him interesting, he could probably play any style. but he'll get nowhere musically with this.
@punk41guy The truth hurts! Andy McKee is the one who popularized this style of playing- not many people played like this until he did it! So as I said before- Copy CAT!
@oOqIpOo No you are not - all these guys sound the same. The guitar is tuned way down til it takes virtually no strength to fret it, and tuned to an open chord, which sets the key of the piece. If you plot a fretboard diagram of the key and start tapping away on it, this sort of music just pours out of it. Just add a cosmic slightly disinterested expression, and you're in the club. Whack the guitar now and then for enthusiastic applause from the musically illiterate.
ohhhh!!! i know how you did that! not that id be able to do it if i had the same equip. im not good enough at hammers or bents yet. let alone am i that fast yet XD
The one handed/drumming bit is cool, but that other thing he does in loads of his songs is technically impressive, but it's definitely not compositionally impressive, it sounds like a mess.
@abramllano2050 u need to check Andy Mckee so u can compare, if u think this is amazing wait til u see Andy, comparing to Andy i think this sounds like a mess
As much as I enjoy stuff like this every now and then, I'd still rather be watching Brian May live again. He can do more with 3 notes than most guitarists can do with 20.
Individuals with less talent than this young man will most certainly try to diminish his art of music and incredible talent. Only someone who truly loves and feels those notes can play them at that speed and collusion. I, Strumjunky, challenge you. Post the most challenging arrangement you can play and let's see who else can play it. I think most of you will be very disappointed to know that you aren't that good. Lastly, I flatly reject comments by those who won't honor this challenge. SJ
@willmottpa its hard to play but the composition is lacking imo - andy mckee has much better song writing and smooth playing - plus its centered around one riff the entire time - not much variety - despite anyone being better or worse than him - that doesnt matter - from a strictly musical standpoint the composition is lacking. but yes hes good and it sounds pretty good. i couldnt play his song - i dont play acoustic but he couldnt play mine either.
The kid is good, but it's been done before many many times before. If you want to see one of the masters of this technique, check out Preston Reed. He was one of the first that I've seen do this. One thing I find is that after a while it gets a little boring. But the bottom line is, all of the players playing this style blow my mind. I sure as heck can't play like that!
Lotta notes, played quickly.
