  • he's way better than i'll ever be but i want to punch this cocksucker in the mouth.

  • boring

  • You're a brilliant shredder! ;-)

  • Ok I think this is his craziest improvisation ever, his other songs are different , beautiful, this too but is different.

  • People don't understand this music...

  • this = self indulgent guitar masturbation

  • Jealousy I guess.

  • The guys that are criticizing this great playing are either jealous or just totally stupid!

  • I dont understand.....

  • his phrasing is very linear with no shape...his technical speed and picking are world class...his modal voicings and intervals are always the same...

  • no thanks

  • Unbelievable chops. But it needs to go somewhere, there was no direction in that at all.

  • terrible music!! wow u practice a lot.so what?!! this sounds awful and has no emotion or feeling or melody or forethought or any redeeming features

  • @eggiliciousness

    i think what you mean to say is that it's not the blues. out of curiosity what magical device did you use to calculate the amount of emotion put into this?

  • @Fluffypopcicle a strange thing called being human.i never said there has to be blues to have emotion but this doesnt move me or give me any sense that he is putting any emotion into it other than 'my penis is too small,il play super fast to compensate'

  • @eggiliciousness

    YOU don't feel emotion from it, but who are you to say that he doesn't? just because you don't feel emotion from it doesn't mean nobody else can.

  • @Fluffypopcicle have you ever studied music properly? emotion in music is universal,regardless of culture or race.no one thinks a minor chord (in isolation) is happy etc...

  • @eggiliciousness

    minor, major, it doesn't matter. this has emotion, just look at his face. funny faces = emotion. that's why steve vai is the most emotional guitarist on the planet. your logic is equivalent to the logic i just used.

  • @Fluffypopcicle no it isnt.you sound like a 12 yr old making that sort of argument.im talking about established music concepts and neuropsychology.your just being an ignorant fanboy who cant stand someone criticizing your idol

  • @eggiliciousness

    no, you think if it doesn't sound good to you it has no soul and doesn't sound good to anyone else. im hardly even a fan of this guy, he doesn't make it in my top 30 favorite artists. probably not my top 50 or 75. im just sick of retards like you dissing on something because it's fast.

  • @Fluffypopcicle because i have a well educated opinion im a retard? that makes sense.im not dissing it because its fast.im dissing it cos apart from speed it has nothing going for it.its just a mess

  • @eggiliciousness

    ignore the fact that the tone takes away from the playing. it's good. check uot this guys actual music, he makes good stuff. i find melody in it because i am into shred. i get emotion off of this. i have acquired the taste, you clearly haven't, but that doesn't mean there is no emotion involved. i don't feel very much from a lot of the blues, but im not stupid enough to say that there is no emotion involved in it. and i do like a lot of the blues, im not just a shred dude.

  • @Fluffypopcicle i am a shred fan but its people like this who give shred a bad name playing random crap.check out jason becker or satch for shred with emotion

  • @eggiliciousness

    i feel you, jason and satch are amazing, but please listen to this guy's other music. it's good music. i was trying to defend this guy because he does have good music, but this video wasn't the best one to do it on. this video is pretty crummy compared to his better work. shawn lane will, imo, always be the king of shredding with melody and emotion.

  • @eggiliciousness playing random crap? lmfao good one!

  • @eggiliciousness it's expression...it's not always about music...there's more to the guitar than music...expression is beyond music...music is just a form of expression...what George is playing here sounds good to a lot of people...it's music but in a different manner...there's plenty of music out there and just because it is music doesn't mean it sounds good...the world is big enough for everyone and everything has it's place...don't be so shallow as to think it's all about music..

  • the fasters.

  • I call it ORIGINAL! Drummer is Marco Minneman! very advanced! tasteful and abstract! eat your heart out Greg Howe lol

  • damn,very nice technique,but very boring and near to annoying to listen.

  • He is an amazing guitar player, but a very bad musician

  • Comment removed

  • What the heck is this? Sure he's a great guitarist, but fuck this sounds aweful. The drums n bass sounds retarded... Like they're playing a different song.

  • i think its because the background isn't clear enough to really discern what key it may be in. With a title like anti-matter, George may have been going for a more avant-garde approach, too.

  • Great guitarist, great technique. But he has that Malsteen hollow sounding tone. I hate that tone.

  • Actually malmsteen doesn't have a hollow sound. He's got great vibrato and technique. My biggest complaint with him is that he's repetitive and only used 20 riffs over and over and over again. I love him but I can only take him in small doses

  • Can we call that music ?

  • nope

  • No we cant .. And if someone can, they better go to the doctor for a check up ..

    Amazing chops though George

  • My parents also asked that when they heard the Beatles for the first time.

  • @screamin777 Hes a Fuckin MACHINE!!!! i would call it guitar rape

  • @steob1234 exactly, but that isn't a compliment to a gutarist.

  • @screamin777

    Go back to Humpty Dumpty and other 4/4 music. Piss of and don't learnt technical music.! moron

  • @screamin777

    you can call as you want: still remains that bellas plays, solos, also on that...

    MAGIC!

  • @screamin777 it's beyond music. it's EXPRESSION.

  • I guess it's unique and he's a good guitarist... but I just don't like the way he sounds... Fucking amazing thast he does it with his eyes closed though.

  • He's an awsome player...but he's underrated like TOO MUCH..any way, I just love his style!!

  • haha he has the "jizzed in my pants" expression for this whole video but hey damn good playing

  • My God!!!! YOU ARE A MUSICAL IDIOT......

  • amazing shred - one quarrel i have is that with so many notes played so quickly, each individual one becomes insignificant. Roger Waters/David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) can do more with a sequence of maybe 8-10 notes than 30 seconds of shredding. IMHO.

  • Agreed.. I mean i'm a wanker (iow: Shredder) thru and thru but i still admire what D Gilmore can do with a couple of notes.. THAT is true music. Shred is just showing off.

  • great,speedy and clean.very Yeah!!!!

  • hate his tone so much though

  • wel he´s fast thats for sure. he does a face like he needs to to a shit or something

  • Awesome! you can hear some Jason Becker influence a 1:15.

  • Stellar !!

  • AWESOME

  • u talkin to me popdisaster?

  • pointless shredding....

  • your fucking life is pointless.. kill yourself

  • this is disgusting..

  • Nice technique! I respect this guy, but this is just boring!

  • AWESOME

  • Supreme Master Of Shred Arpeggios and Scales..........

    Mi life is change after George Bellas.........

  • mines too!!

  • he's so good, he has lost him torso

  • great

  • Very cool...it's easy to leave critiques, BUT...you must be qualified to do so... Great vid!!

  • hes almost like rusty cooley....but NOT at all.

    and i gotta say, he is Really feelin it man

  • booooooorrrrrriiinngggg. Schenker smokes this guy!

  • Best Guitar Faces ever.

  • me recuerda a pocholo jajaja,joder este tio tiene ua tecnica asombrosa!

  • You guys should check out his playing on the Vitalij Kuprij album 'Extreme Measures'. Its incredible.

  • Hes pretty boring to listen to.

  • that's because his playing doesn't make much sense melodically.

  • Skilled, but WANKER, he has it writen all over his abnormally sized forehead

  • i have too agree with you, great technical player, but his phrasing is shit....sad sad thing

  • Thats the problem with almost every shred guitarist out there. They suck at phrasing and have no sense of dynamics or tension building. Its really cool to watch but boring to listen to.

  • i love many guitarists, but a recent favorite of mine, along with kirk hammet, kerry king, jeff hanneman, max cavelera, galder, peter tagtren, etc.....is david gilmour....fucking cant get enough of gilmour.

  • Kirk Hammet? my god man, he should learn how to bend first! Gilmour is an awesome guitarist. If you like his playing check out "Camel - Ice" here on youtube. The guitarist (Andy Latimer) is a similar genius. Btw about phrasing is right. One of the most Frightening things was Greg Howe playing with Vitalij Kuprij; Greg is a true guitar GOD especially when it comes to phrasing. The album is called "high definition". I like it way better than Bellas' Album with Kuprij.

  • Camel are so good. Both to smoke and to listen to :)

  • this camel is piece of shit man listening better you ve no idea about virtuoso guitarists rookie

  • you're an idiot. You're calling me a guitarist rooky? Here are some names I listen to: Greg Howe, Guthrie Govan, Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth, Vai, Satch, Timmons, Petrucci, Malmsteen, Romeo, Angelo, Conrad Simon, Ron Thal, Mathias La Elkhund, Kiko Loureiro, Reb Beach, Fernando Myata, Richie Kotzen, Brett Garsed, Paul Gilbert, Shawn Lane, Shawn Baxter, Dave Kilminster, Kollman, Jason Becker, Impelliteri. This list goes on forever I think, so I know my virtuoso's and I still love Camel.

  • He obviously knows what he's talking about....

  • yes dude, this is the gold list even missing some masters... but between all these guy, i thing jason becker was much more special...

    if he could continue "the new world order" could be diferent...

  • Oh it's a very incomplete list, I know! Those are just some examples to show the guy above me that I know more guitarists than his precious Kirk hammet and he should probably not judge me on viruosity. Jason Becker was an awesome guitar player, ahead of his time. I'd prefer Greg Howe, he's my hero. The guy can do it all, neoclassical shredding, blues, jazz/fusion etc and he blends all technique he has with a lot of emotion (Like Becker did). I'm going to see GH in concert on thursday! :)

  • i don't condire kirk hammet as a guitar player... :D

    i you can check out tony mcalpine specially his song, 100 of 1000

    just perfect...and also patrick rondat, this french guy is fuckin cool...

  • Know them both ;) Mcalpine is awesome. Rondat is cool. I also love Adagio's guitarist stephan Forté. I also Forgot Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Eric Johnson to name a few ;)

  • Name dropping just makes you look like more of a "Rooky".

    And an idiot too.

  • Why don't you become friends with the other idiot that told me that and post ignorance over the web as a team? At least there's something you're better at than me. There's no other evidence than giving names of guitar viruoso's when it comes to guitar virtuoso knowledge, so no, in this case it doesn't.

  • No, I don't think I could outmatch you when it comes to ignorance, you're pretty much the Guthrie Govan of that technique.

  • How witty!

  • Well, Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, it doesn't surprise me that you'd resort to it.

  • that's quite sarcastic isn't it? Want to know the real irony here? You're calling me an idiot for name-dropping and then start calling me the "Guthrie govan" of ignorence. You don't deserve any better than the lowest form of anything, let alone wit. I'm not going to spend more time on your silly "no you are" comments. You're just arguing with me to argue, you don't make any valid points and if so, you're undermining them in the next. I'm not going to waste more time on you unless I'm drunk. bye

  • You're the one who mentioned Guthrie in that comment I replied to.

    So, as well as being a YouTube pseudo-intellectual, you're a pompous, pretentious hypocrite.

    You're really quite the Allan Holdsworth of flowing lines of bullshit, aren't you?

    (Oh, and if you didn't notice, my 2nd comment, and this are a subtle stab at your retarded name dropping, which you were obviously too stupid to see.)

  • anal probe>?

  • is he getting an orgasm? It seem's like it^^

  • I get an orgasm when I play. Almost everyone does. LOL!!

  • "Legendary American neo-classical guitarist" Uh ive never heard of this so called legend. He's technically good, but boring to listen to.

  • you've heard of him now...

  • I'm with you on that. Never heard of him. Does he ever play rhythm, because if so, I haven't seen him play rhythm on ANY of these videos. Guitar solos are great and all, but they are not a SONG!!

  • very boring guitar playing. Not much here except some technique

  • Nur wenn man sich mit dem Bonuscode MONEY1 auf Redkings com anmeldet bekommt man 200% auf seinen Einsatz bis maximal $ 1000. Das ist echt viel und sowas gibt es auf keiner Bank! Die Registrierung ist kostenlos! Man sollte sich aber beeilen, da anzunehmen ist, dass dieser Superbonus nicht mehr lange zu haben sein wird.

  • it looks like someone is shoving a toaster up his ass but he fucking shreds

  • i guess it's because he's so good that he can get away with the miserable facial expression....

  • this isnt meant to be a dig or nething but is it because of his mix between a little distortion and clean with reverb and the undoutably very thin strings that he can play so fast and seemingly cleanly? just a qs so dont need to get all nasty with the responses..

  • no, he plays cleanly because he's a world-class guitarist. no combination of tone setup/gear will make someone sound clean if they don't have good technique. it's actually harder to play cleanly with a non-distorted tone, which bellas does here masterfully.

  • Amazing. Always has amazed me this man. And it flaws me how he NEVER looks at the guitar while he's playing, and never misses a note, incredible. He's like fucking Daredevil or something, insane!

  • you are a monster player

  • fascinating is almost perfect

  • Any of you ASS CLOWNS that think George is "not musical"..........Look over at box on the right of your screen and click on

    George Bellas:slow blues.

    Right after watch it and wipe the drool off your bottom lip, then you can just

    SHUT THE FUCK OFF!

  • I agree with you, Joe. George is fuckin' Brilliant. I had to laugh at "shut the fuck off"..I'll be using that line for the next year or two, hahahahaaaaaaaaaa.

  • masterbarber, I took your advice and listened to slow blues. You're right. George Bellas kicks some serious ass!

  • he's a pretty good player, but his tone is terrible!

  • che smorfie fantastiche!!

    bravo, ma sembra un flipper impazzito.

  • imprecionante...

  • ok and then?

  • he is really good! I´ve heard him with RING OF FIRE, the fist album, but this is not very musical, I think he is really good playing neoclasical stuff, but this is is not music, it´s just an exersice

  • his supernatural skill is his virtue and his own demise.

  • this guy shres in a different and unique way !

  • George kicks ass, fuck you flamers

  • fuck u all

  • another robot who play music!!

  • Another spam robot adding comments!

  • another who has no videos is talking!!

  • very fluid to say the least...george is a world class player....and teacher

  • When you've been playing for 30 years as I have, I can separate the difference between liking an artist (but not a particular video) and being simply another youtube fanboy.

  • What do you do for a living, guitar clinics? Oh wait, you're probably a professor of music or something right? You've released a lot of albums or something right? Let me know, cause in thirty years, I certainly hope you've done something.

  • The world is littered with folks who can shred. This ain't one of its better examples. FWIW, I've been listening to Bellas for years. When people make these "instructional" tidbit videos, it ain't about the groove, it's about "notes per minute." There is nothing being done here that hasn't been done 5000 times before by many of us.

  • Anyone who says he's crap is just plain fucking ignorant!

  • Yep, He's the shit actually. Pretty bad ass. Fuck all the morons who actually don't know shit about music and can't tell its a backing track used for demo purposes. I would research a player before talking a bunch of dumb shit like some of these morons.

  • This folks, is a perfect example of the difference between great guitar and a great song. Bellas has the chops but it all just sounds like a musical typewriter here.

  • It's not a song, it is an example showing various techniques he has on his instructional video. Maybe you should listen to some of his actual songs before passing judgement. I assume you can play better and whatnot than george right? That was smart assed actually, because you cant, at all, ever.

  • i used to like george bellas until i saw these vids of him,what the hell is up with him just running through arps and scales,his songs on the album were good but i can't watch this for more than 1 min,vai rules

  • eh i dunno the technique is there but its just running through scales..

  • Vaya toston de cancion, el tio es un artista pero el tema es insoportable

  • QUE PEREZA TIO!!!

  • Anti matter? no, Anti Music...

  • I wanna see your awesome shred stuff guy. Show me your "music".

  • Great technique. Obvioulsy a really good player. What I don;t understand is why, 3 seconds into the song...it's already peaking....then it has nowhere to go...and goes nowhere...Too bad it wasn't paced out, and dramatic.

  • Fucking sensational!!

  • Georges playing is amazing always amazing!

  • ahahahaha "facing funny as hell" hahahahah great posting btw!!!

  • OMG look at the facial expressions!! it's funny as hell XD and btw the song is so boring >.>

  • >yawn

  • great techinique, but boring to listen to, also i really dont like his guitars tone ^^.

  • this was shit and no feeling i used to like him till i saw him play same shit always

  • Fantastic technique and style! Very entertaining!

  • crap

  • His right hand position..like a bass player in the past.

    And he has the best shred face of the year, thats it.

  • cool but its all legato, legato is easy, to be good at this time you got to have endurence in your right hand i say

  • legendary, funny i've never heard of him until now, and i don't want to hear him again. the entire "piece" has no musical purpose whatsoever.

  • lol..

  • Im sorry but this is tech with no feeling masterbation

  • This one is senseless, propultion is much better and have that "something". This one is boring, just "pitu pitu on fender" and go faster.

  • "Pitu Pitu" a tu vieja le hacen en la cola!GIL!!!.

  • I like his keyboard playing way better thahis guitar!

  • The best!!!!

  • totally vintage tone...

  • this guy is awesome

  • Love this guy!!

  • Great player
