17th Century Chicken Picking by Ricardo Torres

[KARVAKY]

Man i love that guitar.

[manumetal07]

So re malo.

[slayereconomist]

In comparison with most of the people who puts this masterpiece on web you really do PLAY guitar. No freakin' trolling man. Hooray to you from Russia where guitarists like me drink vodka on unicyles with bears and matroshkas. Really bro, I prefer tapping for some notes because by clumsy hands of a Soviet proletariat I can't do better. But you DO!!!!

[solmysol2vatuqiqi]

hello,im a bit stuck with this and your version is more correct,any chance you might have tabs to this you can pliz lend me? ,on another note very accurate and fluid cover.

[cptmawsome]

Man this guy and impellitteri are better than yngwie malmsteen for sure

[mcgheeber]

muchos respect

[Sorgutentarer]

some steve vai signature ibanez?

[Glaudge]

i. want. that. guitar. now.

[KingsZepsters]

wait so i can like learn this song! lmao!

[brandowmelo]

suscrito amigo! eres muy bueno

[stevenmiagat]

Good job !! this song is too hard !!

[Me6adeth01]

god damn! nice

[JamesGod08]

Shred guitar will never die, always #1. Everything else is weak and gay, and slow

[wornelasable]

@JamesGod08 lol are you nazi or something?

[nickolasGate7]

Great playing my friend. May i ask with which program you split the screen into two pieces and both the sounds of the two videos were heard?

[GOW3isorgasmic]

I Hate You -_-

[vahnrondel]

what just happened? hahaha... jaw dropping skills... :D

[behemoth666123]

NICE! both playing and your Jem!

[TheNovemberRomance]

Sounds like Becker <3

[arpeggiomeister]

Good job brother. I use some different fingerings in spots but the notes are the same. Great job getting those arps out clean. I am a shred fanatic, and this is one of my favorite tunes. This is actually pretty slow for Impelliteri, but I think slowing down was a good thing. Check out the solo in "Somewhere over the Rainbow". The picking is so fast that it's freakish, but this tunes is more controlled and it seems like every note has a purpose instead of speed for speed's sake.

[dbadgones]

[Kinjutsuu]

Awesome shit man, good job dude.

I would seriously appreciate if you could tell me where you got the backingtrack ;D

[FlyingBugels]

When you first learned this song, did you learn it really slow, then work up the speed? I'm learning it, but can't play it at allllll at the regular speed. Haha

[mturquie]

This is fn nuts!

[jimboishere11]

That was............. EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tabotabojayar]

what jem is that?

[123412341234het]

I wank with more accuracy than this. Rubbish.

[GALAHINA]

wicked sweet dude

[umair0493]

Is this alternate picking all the time or legatos in between?

[kkacanek]

wow man! you are a beast! nice work!

[Trypticon1977]

Am I missing something?.....I see SWEEP picking, not chicken picking.

[kierungg]

@Trypticon1977 century sweep picking

[ed505]

@Trypticon1977 from the min. 1:11 cant be done with sweep.. it is alternated picking..

[bbtucci]

bet your right left hand is not the same anymore

[MrShasta32]

is that a ibanez jem?

[IbanezShredderMan]

Is it just me or are the frets really really big...

[joniiboy]

@IbanezShredderMan extra jumbo frets i guess, but they`re just normal frets

[heptatonic]

theres nothing here but insanely good guitar playing and immaculate technique. awesome!

[lostorres4]

PLEASE! HAVE MY BABIES!? :D Seriously Great Job on the Cover! :D

Think you can help me out with the tabs? Hard to find Good ones...

[slaving300]

Hey yo tenía esa sábana lol xd xd, eres trmendisimo, sigue adelante.

[genolafrite]

Nice guitar dude, but you wrote it was a Jem ? So it has 6 strings right ? because i had the Universe version (7 strings), but i didn't knew there was a 6 strings version .

Tkae car of it, and keep up the good work.

[joniiboy]

@genolafrite Well thats not the universe guitar if , the universe guitar (20th anniversary jem) is a 7 string with a multicolor screen finish, also different inlays in the frets, this is another jem model that steve vai also uses, though his got green polka dots on it :P

[jrbryce3]

@genolafrite Dude you wanna know a trick to always know if its a six or 7 string?  count the strings (;

[BigFriendlyNinja]

oooh i'm in love with that guitar O_o

[HarisDT]

Truth in shreding :D hard thing to do, to sound good and to play fast are 2 hardest reasons ppl complain or just say: Playing fast doesn't mean a thing, the best part of it...you shred and have an amazing time, cause you are better than rest of the ppl that unfortunately can't do it and that brings you awesome confidence :D

Keeo doing it dude, I loved the whole video

[goku24653]

I have the same bedspread hahahaha ur fuckeen awesomee doode!

[BigFriendlyNinja]

are you a wizard?

[gadgie3]

1:15. Spastic finger freaked me out......

[Resetonedw]

i like the guitar color. (Y)

[stebbZv]

you should work on your...... your..... hmmm..... nothing? ;) amazing job mate, keep it up!

[voltaspeeder17]

Man, you're one hell of a guitarist! That was an awesome job!

[tatusporn]

LEES NOTAS O FUE CON TABLATURA TA PERRONA LA CANCION TE LA RIFASTE MEN...

[777stevo]

That was great!!!!!

[KonkreteXXX]

SHIT.

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

impelliterri would be good if they made their lyrics non christian and gay

[mikerockyislet]

nicely done

[PatrickGoble]

Amazing performance my friend!!! Chris has nothing on you!!!

[8706213450303]

waoh!!! your crazy!!

[pwertogalero]

I love your 777V

[delsaberx101]

your ibanez jem is so cool!!!

[chingenasumadretoify]

woww you are not bad and dame tips to touch equal .....

very good rola

if it arms

greetings from Mexico

[educeni]

You have the tablature?

[mongotsomzteker]

Hey dude! thanks for putting your good cover up!

Do you mind to tell me where I can find this backingtrack?

Thanks in advance

[lousyshredder]

@mongotsomzteker search for otto reina here in youtube. He did the backing track himself, and it is very good. I think you can ask him if he can sell it to you or something.

[bratwurstsalad]

Very well covered. Although I don't know if there's ever been a song that could be called "mindless noodling" more than that one.

[xledzepplinx]

wow i'm speechless

[BigFriendlyNinja]

very nice, you'd make chris proud lol

[Denis150386]

Cool! 5*

[DoruAmbar]

Do you chick pick?

[BretFart]

Very nice . You are probably the cleanest shredder I've seen on youtube .

[BigFriendlyNinja]

this is so bad ass lol

[DoruAmbar]

Right, you began with G- F#-E... and so on. ^^

[hankwilliams3rd]

Jem*

[Voyager619]

wat model is it

[hankwilliams3rd]

Ibanez Jem 777VBK, discontinued years ago. You can find the odd one on ebay for a price. It is definitely one of my favorite Jem's, closest I've come to it is a friend owning it.

[KazeReload]

Wow really nice :D

but all this fast sweep and alternate picking is annoying in a long song :P I mean you are really great but don't be too repeatitive

[ywickum]

Where can I find this backintrack?

Please anwer me, greetz from Hell Yeray^^

[jazzforano]

Parabéns! Vc tocou bem demais!

[DopplerTheEffect]

Very nice!

I like how when you move your fingers it's very fluid... something Steve Vai actually used to practice lol.

[RaihaanHiMsElF]

yes his fingers are fluid very nice

70% water.....8D

[duvall375]

I have the feeling you like green?

anyway, great cover

[JAYTALITY]

i detect a mistake or two

[Jett21]

1:11= sick.  Some fine string skipping there.

[skinnyjeans987]

holy shit

dude this is amazing

[molywaki]

man how much u have practised???

do reply

[molywaki]

wow....

[bobmarleydude5672]

wow, nice job man. by far the best and most effortless cover i've ever seen. you actually command your instrument. many of the covers of the song, they just PLAY guitar, not you... you've taken it farther. nice job here man.

[speedpicking78]

Hi , you are a great guitarist ! I would like to know what kind of software you use to create a double video in one track ! is really important for me ! thanx

[andrzzon]

You can use sony vegas

[Fuhgawz102]

TYPE-O-Guitar

[NeoGodHand]

Even IF guitar shred is dead, it's still some awesome fucking shit. Talent and persistence are needed to play like this guy up here. So quit arguing about shred's "popularity". When was shred all about being popular, I've always seen it as "Who can play guitar the fastest and sounding good too?"

[hamneggs1]

I agree, its not about popularity. If it was then you would be no better than Kanye west and worshiped by TMZ. Its about how the music feels to you and no one else.

[NeoGodHand]

Good point. It seems that everyone wants to press their feelings of music to other people like some kind of religious prosecution.

[Metalized]

Thanks for your comment!, this topic was getting a little bit nasty heheh... and THANKS ALL WHO HAS COMMENTED DOESNT CARE IF IT IS A GOOD OR A BAD ONE, I VALUE THEM ALL. (even if it has something to do with Brittney) LOL!

[drakkarband]

wow good job. oh and by the way nickiefive's mom keeps calling me too so dont worry shes just a slut.

[realtastyham]

O___O

[innpressTV]

before play guitar, i cant hold pick!

[FictionTech]

Wow, incredible my friend!

absolutely five starz!

wish wish wish

[Metalized]

Thanks! :)

[Leeches93]

you are one of the 3 best youtube guitarists I have ever seen (probably the best)

[Nickiefive]

if u were truly good u wouldnt be in ur bedroom

[elitebomber]

Where would he be? In your mom's bedroom with everyone else?

[Nickiefive]

man everybody can shred its how u use it u cant be truly awesome unless u play ur own stuff n try thinkin something up that takes more than 3 brain cells to think up

ASS

[Metalized]

You should post something with your band or yourself playing... just to see what you can do. This site its to share and meet persons with your interests and why not gain a couple of friends in the process. Not really for a POSER like you who only care for showing how much of an ass can be. Waiting for you to post anything... but your mom's bedroom of course. :)

[Metalized]

LOL... hell no! I pass on that, perhaps if I was drunk enough she could have a shot hehe.

[freakguitar1]

guitar shred is dead.

ppl wanna hear music and mainstream pop shit.

get the fuck out with your wannabe argument, jealous idiot.

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Guitar shred is not dead. Wake up :D

[freakguitar1]

dude its 2009, not 1989 anymore^^

the times where you could shred like gilbert and co. and get famous are over..

[Nordicrebirth]

Trend bitch!

[freakguitar1]

i dont get it, whats the prob? XD

i love guitar, i love shred.

my offense was against Nickiefive a bit more up here, cuz he was like "everybody can do that".

btw, i shred too, so where is the real prob? XD XD *youtube confusion*

[Nordicrebirth]

"guitar shred is dead.

ppl wanna hear music and mainstream pop shit.

get the fuck out with your wannabe argument, jealous idiot."

[freakguitar1]

and wheres the prob?

guitar shred scene is bigger than hip hop and britney spears music?

[Nordicrebirth]

Then go listen to your britney spears.

[freakguitar1]

wow man, you are a complete idiot.

maybe check out my profile, then you will find out, that i am not that hip hop or britney guy.

aw man, you were such a waste of time.

get brain please.

[Nordicrebirth]

I don't know for how long you've been living in a cave, but shred is far from dead.

Then you're defending your hip hop and briteney spears, now you're saying that you're not. Everyone else thinks that you're an idiot, and I agree. Majority here determined that, look at your ratings.

[freakguitar1]

rofl you ultra super idiot.

i NEVER defended hip hop or spears. you dont have brain, so you dont understand.

rating? -1? ye, thats you, you uber brainless idiot. i wont come back, since you dont know anything about music. i can shred, and i know whats going on in the guitar scene, fag.

rate me down, write another braindamaged reply, noone will read it. i am surprised about how can ppl like you even handle a computer..

[Nordicrebirth]

Your pointless insults don't bother me. Not only I can shred on guitar, I can hack and tether computer systems. I'm also a body builder and Petty officer first class in the United States Navy. It's funny that you call people stupid, yet your spelling is so fucked up that I feel more dumb just reading it. Besides, rating sustem on YouTube is one rate for each person. I don't know if you blind, but I see

- 4. So don't reply to me. I like my IQ the way it is right now.

[freakguitar1]

wahahah your comment ahahahah XD

hack computer systems ROFL

i know i said i wont come back but your comment wiahahah XD body building shred-nerd? XD hahah ok show us, you noob :D

okokko i dont reply anymore, i swear :D your IQ = 0.43, so i let it how it is right now.... XDDD

[Nordicrebirth]

Please continue, I give a shit!

[lannyguitarhero]

hey, show us your face chris!

[stringskippy]

The keyboard that's doubling your lead is making it hard to hear how clean you're playing. Try again with no keyboard double.

[joetube112349]

real guitar sound?

[swob0]

Is that a Steve Vai? Nice guitar and playing mate, keep it up :D

[Nordicrebirth]

Steve vai replica guitar, but song is by Impellitteri.

[Metalized]

Acctually the guitar its a Genuine Ibanez Jem. Its a Jem777vbk, use to be made from '89 till '91 i think... :)

[Craigres11]

[AnimeJesus]

The ONLY flaw in this video is that I can hear the guitar pro guitar track.

[Galley87]

[nzSkitzo]

[piyowashere]

fag

[poppleshred]

this was an excellent cover, many kudos.

by the way, what kind of ibanez are you playing? it looks like an offbeat JEM

[irishman0005]

damn! how long did that take you to learn?

[johnwithaj]

you should do an arpeggio sweep section in this. nevermind that.

[SomethinWild]

Since this is a Chris Impellitteri song, and he wanted to do a cover of it, I don't think he should change it in any way;-) This was just perfect.

[McCheko]

gooooddd job dudeee !!!

[casperkid87]

look so comfortable fingering.

[jaumcunha]

Eu também não vi o chicken pickin', assim como também acho que tem uns 10bpm de difrença pra original.

Mas tá bem tocado pra caramba, parabéns.

[GoRdOnUE]

Yeah i saw that guitar on racer x forum!! Sweet guitar ! And awesome playing

[Deshbaud]

holy crap!

that's the sweetest guitar i've ever seen!

[francescofarerigt]
