Pretty sure, he was the only one of us from the Shredi Knights/Shredaroos/ Guitar Players group regulars off of myspace a long time ago to ever do something haha.
great guitar player... but shitty guitar... the only way to make a carvin guitar sound good is with a shitload of effects... and thats just to make it sound half way decent
@brsrkr323 You obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about. Carvin guitars are basically semi-custom shop instruments, and they are some of the best in their price range. The stock pickups aren't the best, but that's what Dimarzio/BKP/your favorite brand exist for. And effects don't make your fundamental tone any better, they just color it.
@GuardianOfFate12 the hell i dont... i worked for that b.s company for 2 years... at one point i had MAJOR respect for the product... when i seen what went into it behind the scenes i was disgusted.. im glad i sold all my carvin gear...
but you do make a point ill give you that when it comes to other brands...
@brsrkr323 You sound like someone with a made up story and a chip on their shoulder. Too many people these days look for random reasons to be angry at whatever, and you don't even have a REAL reason, so fuck off.
@brsrkr323 you have no idea what you're talking about. shitload of effects? buy a decent amp and you wont need many effects at all. as for sound of guitar, buy some better pickups if you're so unsatisfied with its tone. i highly doubt you worked at the carvin factory or else you'd know this.
it's weird that seems like EVERYONE that goes to Berklee ends up all neoclassical...i want to go there sooooo bad though. I'm too scared to try yet though,lol. I'm too old and not good enough.
Jesus christ, I didn't think anyone in Korn had any talent whatsoever. Jeez, please Shane Gibson, leave fucking Korn and make a band where you can actually showcase your talents!
I feel like something is missing from the title.... How about... "Carnivorous Alien DucksinaponD in Einstein's Dream about Mozart..." (I mean that in a very good way.)
You guys are retarded. It's not like he gets to write rifs for Korn. The dude is just a back up guitarist which sucks. Because I'm pretty sure he's better than Munky and could make Korn a lot better and more interesting. But I still like Korn either way, but this dude is a bad ass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
even is that is superior technique and skill. im not into the sound of many computer buttons being pressed over and over. who cares if music is skillful or not. but ICP would totally own this guy
I've never listened to Korn, maybe I should? This guy can definitely play guitar. Check out this guy, he's a real bad-ass guitarplayer to: watch?v=0qsKAdabuf8
Replace Pat Methany with Stanley Jordan, and replace Rusty Cooley with Adam Fulara and replace Jason Becker with Jennifer Batten then we'd have a consistant 8 finger tapout WAR
I mean shit this guy has some great phrasing, maybe korn will utilize him and let him bring some of his stuff into their music, I haven't liked korn's music since Life is Peachy.
its sad that some of the best guitarist play for the worst bands. this guy from korn. john 5 for marilyn manson. but he played for rob zombie. so that kinda makes it better, dude from soulfly
Shane does tour with Korn, but for one the music doesn't call for him shredding and he's not the lead guitarist anyway. Your average Korn-concert goer doesn't really give a crap about Shane Gibson.
shane is very good but munky is awesome too, he has done some crazy solos too it's just korn style has no guitar solos but they are both excellent players
i bought the e-nstructional from chopsfromhell, but it doesnt have this song :(, and where i live i cant find this magazine, is anyway that i can download this vid and the tab?
Well, my theory is that now that he's "made it", sooner or later when he DOES finish that solo album for Shrapnel, it will get recognition. Good for him.
no man, he was helping jon davis on his solo tour, now his going on a world tour with korn BUT HE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MEMBER, he is just another backup musician just like the guy on the keyboard, the backup vocal and the percussionist...
XDXD man!! really read some news XDXD korn is not recording a new album XD their world tour begins next sunday (january 13th) their last album came out on july 31, 2007. they were on tour the whole year, then jon davis was on a solo tour during november and december. maybe you got confused by the video shane posted a few days ago when he was rehearsing with JD, they were rehearsing the song DIRTY for JD's solo tour, but korn is not wirting a new album LOL!
I know, I only discovered him a few months ago, and that was because I was looking for polyphonic singing (which he kicks ass at!), and I was totally blown away!!
Shane is a shred legend, as confirmed by Joe Stump.
wow!!! that was incredible, I've just started trying to learn pedal-tones and Joe Stump and Shane Gibson are definatly my primary influence, the neo-classical piece in this is amazing!
