  • wicked shredding! Where did you learn that right hand technique?

  • please tell how you did you do that sweep tapping thing at 0:55 - 1:11

    or tell what you did.

  • i mean how how do you do it

  • i donno why ppl are bitching i felt a lot of feeling in your playing man, good job!

  • nice 

  • Fucking A! Good job dude.

  • awesome until the hair flip at the very end lmao

  • On the video pic, I thought it was Guthrie Govan.

  • @metalvampire660 You must have been incredible disappointed.

  • @jakethecooldude Hmmm, I can't say this guy can't play. He does have blistering technique, but less feeling. However, I think if he works hard he could fix this. Speed isn't always a goal!

  • @metalvampire660 what gives you the authority to say how much feeling he has in his playing. Playing fast can have feeling but that can only be determined by the player

  • @3daysfighters The things have changed a bit since my last posted comment. I understand more now, and I do agree I've made a mistake. Nobody has the authority to judge that, and music is music after all. Thank you so much for your comment, it meant a lot :)!

  • @jakethecooldude Define "feeling." Pisses me off when people say that. Keep it up dude, good shred.

  • This reminds me of the Power Rangers theme song.

  • the only reason ppl criticize your playing man is basically cause they try to find as much fault in your playing as they can because its make them feel better about themselves cause they cant play worth a damn enough said keep rockin

  • This entire "no feeling" thing is just nonsense. The title has "shred" in it not"feeling'. Also, is it harder for someone with speed techique to slow down, bend some notes and "feel" or for someone like a blues player to shred? Good question eh? The later is harder. Heck I can play with "feeling" but I can't shred for the life of me.

  • You hold the pick like Marty Friedman! :D Awesome

  • @jakethecooldude i mean the most video is sweep picking and a few shreding :P

  • Wah anything that isnt boring and repetitive pentatonic blues wankage isnt soul wah wah wah.

  • love the three string sweepage!

  • Epic?Yeah,Shred?No.Sweep picking?Yes ;)

  • @XJohnTheNightrager Stupid? Yeah, buttsex professional? Totally

  • @barneycockburn wooooaaa....how long did it took you to write this comment? about one hour and a half?

  • Who the hell cares about Dragonforce! No give a crap about a band made known just because of some video game. These guys and their sound, sounds like it comes from cheesy Nintendo game. I'll bet when they write their music they imagine themselves riding on rainbows through pastures filled with leaping unicorns and naked men, while dragonflies buzz over head.

  • HOLY CRAP. it does sound like dragonforce tho haha xD

  • holy mother fuckin fuckigngng fuckckcckckckckc XD nice dude.

  • What Type of scales did you focus on?

  • Hmm...I think that you could play in Wintersun. Do you have tabs for this? Cause there is a lot of notes here.

  • Reminds me of Chris Broderick.

  • reminded me of power rangers XD

  • Too many haters here ... I know they can't perform 1% of what you do, pretty nice game !!! you made me jealous :'( lol xxx

  • fuck the lotta you! this is awesome!

  • play a riff mwahahahaha, nice shred but, play a riff

  • I think you sound great, keep it up.

  • "You have no soul" = complete bullshit, I certainly connected with it man, gave me that spine tingly fell thingy. XD

  • cool...........man ............................

  • Thumbs up if this video should be called "Betch'a can play this"

  • Man ur playing it's just awesome..... but if u want haters to stop saying u don't got soul... just add some melody in parts don't be shredding off ur scales all the time.. slow down and give it a little taste man :) but ur really good! check out my latest vid ;)

  • that was great man how long have you been playin if i may ask

  • Comment removed

  • this guy has no soul,,,

  • @adbanor I know. I'm an empty husk of a shredder...

  • @jakethecooldude Run, he is a zombie!

  • @jakethecooldude dont worry, people who really have no business talking about guitar (especially technical guitar) are the only people that leverage "soul" against anyone. people cant just say "hey i'm just not super into shred guitar" they have to say oh slash is way better than paul gilbert because PG doesn't have soul like slash" .... soul is just a word used when you have no tangible argument.

  • @adbanor *jealous because they arent 1/10th as good as this guy* :/

  • its jesus...

  • Nice work! =D keep it up \m/

  • this is awesome!

  • dammit dude!! this is EFFING AWESOME!!

  • Sounds like Dragonforce dude. Kind of lame sound, but great technique man. Again, sounds like you want to join Dragonforce though.

  • @TheFigueroa007

    no, he sounds different because he hits the notes :)

  • @TheFigueroa007 If you think this sounds like Dragonforce then you clearly haven't heard much Dragonforce. PS I have your guitar ;)

  • @jakethecooldude Yeah, your right dragonforce doesn't sweep that well or do sweep taps that well. The only reason I said it sounded similar was because your playing over a fast power ballad type backing track. And dude that jackson guitar we both have is fucking badass, love it.

  • @TheFigueroa007 dragonforce not to sound hating but i only like the same METAL BAND the DIO and his son and my self LIKES for its EXTREME HARDCORE REAL ART OF TRUE HEAVY METAL and every one ells are POSERS

  • @HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 ........... what?!

  • Awesome job! Smoke crack and worship satan. lol

  • good work keep playing coul be better

  • i can do that..............not.

  • put your hair straight and voila, you're chris broderick !!

  • very talented ...but does nothing for me

  • really amazing, keep it up!!

  • he was at DragonForce auditions lol

  • This is beyond homosexuality.

  • @Fennzander In what way?

  • @jakethecooldude h ehas the same kind of criticising like me. he wanted to say that your are so good, only this kind of criticising can describe it ;)^^

  • @Fennzander Jealous

  • @Fennzander Dont be jealous. Mr. dont know what rock is

  • First off; amazing work, here, bruder. Keep it up! I have a quick question, though: Where are you stashing your pick at 0:55?

  • @TerminusCOBHC cheers man! :) and i sorta have it clamped between my thumb and the side of my hand... kind of hard to explain, but its easy to switch back and forth so all my right hand fingers are free :P

  • This isn't really the kind of thing I normally listen to but I have to say I am impressed with the skill level and I quite enjoyed listening to it. Excellent guitarist

  • @MacCunnyfunt Thanks very much man! I know it's not everyone's cup o tea, but im glad you can appreciate it! My actual songs are usually more melodic and less wanky :P

  • @jakethecooldude To be perfectly honest, if I could play like that I would be and I would probably post it up on here too. I have a couple of people being negative but you usually find that it is jealousy. Good luck to you and Merry Christmas

  • Kewl!

  • that would be even more awesome if it had like a melodic and ballad twist to it 

  • Great playing...get your thumb behind the neck for the arpeggios though...much easier.

  • Awsome playing just too bad i hate that technical stuff. but besides that you're a by far better player than me. I hope I'll be as good as you but jsut in what I play

  • man, i watch this like once a day

  • dang...how long did it take you to learn how to do that?

  • brutal!!

  • My face just melted

  • RAWKIN!

  • i just jizzed in my pants

  • @jakethecooldude dude, those people who say their is no soul are stupid. i play this kind of music as well, and i have a lot of fun and get my mind of of alot of stuff. its stupid to think that you have no soul if you love to play it.

  • @jakethecooldude theres no soul cause it aint fucking BLUES IT IS SHRED. SHRED GOD DAMN IT. WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE GENRE \m/, nice improv bro

  • Gratz on the scholarship!

    btw I know fergus ;)

  • we have the same hair, and both were glasses, i though someone had posted me jaming at a friends when i saw this at first XD but no you blew anything i have ever played out of the water man. nice job!

  • @jakethecooldude - nice, i sold a guitar pick to a dude who graduated from berklee

  • that was awesome

  • god....damn.....that was epic

  • ....how could you possibly  dislike this video..? ever...?

  • whoa holy shit that was fucking bad ass

  • sounds a lot like a rusty cooly solo great job!

  • This has loads of soul. Soloing isn't something mechanical, it's something that comes from the player within. It's something that the player feels in his wrists. Not to sound sentimental, but seriously, solos and riffs are the way the guitar player adds flavor to his tunes.

  • hey that's good!!!! we shall fight and don't listen motherfuckers!

  • Dude who was your teacher? dave mustaine?? lol its as fuckin epic as outer space. wow, the metal scene NEEDS you. you could teach all those fuckers a lesson. LITERALLY.

  • I was expecting to be normal and boring and kind of wack but this is AMAZING!

  • "There's no such thing as "this guy has no soul", but rather, "I can't connect this this guy's guitar playing"

    I agree 110%

    By saying that a player has no emotion/soul is pretty much just a pathetic attempt to try and put down the player because you can't find any other reason to.

    If you want "soul" go watch a blues video, not a neo-classical video!

    Very nice btw. I am 17 myself, and I am just starting to get into pick-hand/multi-finger tapping. I gotta say dude, this is effing awesome!

  • @Ghostman7777 thanks very much for the kind words man! :)

  • @Ghostman7777 thats silly there is a thing named soul and that is a simple thing is just connecting the notes, like playing the chord note and chords that are connected to it in a way that sounds amazing...

  • @Ghostman7777 are you fucking stupid ,look at malmsteen he has tons of soul and feeling to his music,probly too much feeling lol.

  • OMG this guy comes here playing shred as fast as he can so we all be amazed by how fast he is and says that there is no soul... OMG sont go study music you already commited a very big mistake! soul is the ability of the player to play notes that match the backing track, and the hability to know that some notes will match perfectly the song! check clapton, hendrix, bb king those guys know what soul is you dont

  • @uva2323 Dude, listen again. This music does have emotion into it. It's not just showing off.

  • hey are u in a band cause were looking for guitarist who like jason becker and dream theater nevermore iron maiden and judas priest so contact back and ur awsome

  • @texb96man im in scotland man and on your profile thing it says you're in the US? :\

  • Saw you perform at the 2009 xmas extravaganza. You rocked that shit up man!!! Keep up the awesomeness!

  • Jake, my man! Bad ass talent kid. nuff said about "oh this and But that ". Shred too much?duh! it's an exhibition in shred. It's not a blues song,man. Some poeple's kids! sheesh!

    Good stuff man. Keep up the hard work, because you did not just get lucky..you worked hard and long.Thanks Jake

  • @GuitarTimable haha thanks very much for the kind words man! yeah people dont seem to go on blues videos and complain theres not enough classical or anything... its weird :P

  • Tch tch, I'll ask again, How many guitarist does it take to screw in a light bulb? One, and a thousand more to say how they could had done it better.

  • @denmar1998 Buckethead would literally break the lightbulb with the power of his guitar.

  • Jaaaaaaaaakkeee

    I dont care what anyones written, I think its awesome XD

    and so you all know, he is actually able to do so much better if he wants, just in this video, he wanted to do this (:

    Rab :P

  • all the music needs pauses

  • bravoooooo!!!

  • Ive seen a couple of videos. Im also 15. I shred, but its more Arpeggio stuff only. How long have you been playing?

  • You know I prefer non vocals "songs". Satriani is the man. I've listened to his music since i was a small child and you don't have to have vocals in order to have a great song. that said... I enjoyed this video.

  • Epic, epic, epic. I cant believe you are so young yet you can play like this. You got quite a career ahead of you.

  • Its nice tp re-visit this vid every now and then... still always sounds good. Extremely technical and even under those circumstances there is thought put into what hes playing over the backing

  • a lil slop at da start, but i dig ur steez. good job

    5 stars for brutal effort

  • YOU ARE GOD!!!

  • hey guy, the song sucks, it's an insulse progression of sweeps and you shred too much, but you have a very good technique, and i admire you...5/5

  • its not a song, it has no vocals, its a demonstrative piece of my shredding technique, its not meant to be melodic, not to mention there's actually very little sweeping in it. cheers for the comment though ;)

  • oh yeah ok,it's not a song...how many hours do you play a day??5/6?

  • @jakethecooldude dont be polite to him lol hes a fagget nice playing ignore punks like him your a beast

  • @jakethecooldude nonsense to that guy that was a melodic shred if i say so myself.

  • @BSCLOUDY haha thanks a lot man :D

  • @Burzgrug u suk fagget

  • @FedorCroCop44 .........ma vaffanculo và, coglione....

  • Great job man, you are so inspirational.

  • lol love the hair swing at the end roflmao

  • Omfg o_o. YOUR AT MY SCHOOL :D!

  • damn man you nailed it

    i keep coming back for more its FEPIC!!! (fucking epic)

  • Epic man, epic. Got a little boring though, with all the constant speed shred. How long you been playing for?

  • those tapping licks are pretty fking good

  • To all you guys saying that he sucks and that you're way better, post a video response and we'll see.

  • This doesnt even sound good,I would shit all over this kid guitar wise

  • sick. a slower bit in the middle would have made it more pleasing to the ear. but holy shit that was sick. XD

  • very shit i can play better with my hands behind my back while being burned by a trout with a flamethrower that has daddy isues only to find that he has a tumour in his intestine which turns out to be his twin brother creenandooo who died when he was -2 and decided to offer his brothers intestine his services

  • @TeabagInTeapot jealousy

    what a fag

  • @TeabagInTeapot

    You're so cool. I wish I was that awesome.

    /sarcasm

  • Holy shit! That's fukin awsome

  • "this guy has no soul", but rather, "I can't connect this this guy's guitar playing". I LOVE THAT DUDE finally someone else sees thats how it is ....i dont like alot of the "guitar legends" but that doesnt mean ther bad at all ...just not my taste nothing i could get emotional about ...nice work

  • Sick skillz....you definetely need to be famous...

  • I that an Ibanez ?

  • hi it is broden from school

  • fail for note choice, but succeed for technique.

  • Who rated this four stars? Five stars are not enough! Tremendous musicianship!

  • as in the 8 finger tapping arpeggios

  • this site lol

  • lol shit

    i need some more close up hands on look at things

    do you think you could do me a favor dude and send me a tab of a four octave 8 finger tapped arpeggio so i can see what they look like? lol

  • well you can talk to my friend austin. his youtube name is heMANshred. hes...a wizard lol. ask him! he'll gladly help

  • i've been trying to learn some of this shit lol

    you got mad skills man,

    are there any good sites or tabs for teaching this technique?

  • youtube is good

  • when the drums started i was like "wtf?! dude?"

  • Thats fucking kick ass man. how long u been playing? I'm 15 and my sweep picking isn't tttthhhaaaaatttt good lol. Got any advice 4 me bro?

  • Damn nice dude, Sweep picking if im correct?

  • Mad props for the sweeps.

  • amazing. now show it to the world

  • how you suggest i do that? youtube is the best i got atm

  • record an albulm, and sell millions of copies and play sold out shows :)

  • Get famous! :]

    You definitely have the playing down for it

  • Basicly you visit every single home in the world and repeat what you have just done on this video. Now!

  • @jakethecooldude When I watched this...I almost had an orgasm.

  • @FuckYou0liSyk3s hahahaha cheers man, check out my other videos! even though there is no video its just recordings but meh :P

  • wow you dont even have wammy !!! YOUR AWESOME!

  • Its a tremolo :)

  • nice

  • I'll be able to play like this in 5 months. Hopefully haha.

  • sketchy but still good

  • thats PRETTY clean, not perfectly clean but, i reckon if you did the same thing cleaned up and with better recording, which may not REALLY be neccessary itd be great. but other than that pretty damn good job man, i also like the back track ;)

  • Dude, this really does have emotion in it.

    This technically isnt even typical shred, this was very thought out and articulate, and i though you did an amazing job.

    VERY NICE.

    I loved it.
