@TaxidermyTime all hes doing is playing scales!!??.............what about the "Phrasing" do you hear that? melody?...........you probably dont,............do you look for "innovation" in music above all else, and in your OPINION if there is none do you dismiss it?............NASA' is gonna miss you when your gone im sure,............another "youtube" genius
@TaxidermyTime pinch harmonics "innovative" LOL! Seriously though, shouldn't have entered a solo like this in a blues contest. Shouldn't have even competed unless he wanted to play something more stylistically in tune (and I'm sure he could have)
@UndeadCODIntel All I'm saying is with a title like that it better be amazing, and this is not. Pretty unlistenable, in my opinion. If you put such a title, people will watch them. That's the whole point, right ? Then you gotta expect criticism. If you don't want criticism, don't post them.
Must not be the world's greatest guitar player if, as a guitar player open to many styles, I can't stand that guy's playing for more than 15 seconds... I'll pass... Music is about being tasteful, not being the fastest guy on the block...
i wish i coulld have him teach me to play like that i been trying to find someone to teach me but i cant find the right one. you are great man why does the world not know you?
music is soo subjective..what one thinks is great someone else will think is crap..but this is fukn awesome..glad i was'nt at that blues chops comp...like i posted my own blues solo on here a little while ago but after hearing this i just wanna throw away my axe in disgust n give up..
I'm sorry, I know many people may have already asked this, but what kind of guitar is this?? Although I think they are not so beautifull without the headstock, this diferent tremolo sounds very good, I'm quite interested in geting me one of those By the way, Champion you play reall hot stuff, good work!! My sincere apreciation.
Hi there tigersoul. Serious playing there my friend. Would love to get your feedback on my vids mate. Drop buy and give me your input. Keep on rocking !
Screw the haters they know you kick serious ass at guitar!!! They are just retarded immature jealous kids who wish they could play this. I have played guitar for 13 years of my life Im 22 now and pretty damn good but holy shit I aspire to be able to shred riffs like this when I am your age!
Nice but sounds alot like an Eric Johnson/Satriani/Timmons kind of thing. There are technicians everywhere. Playing to a generic backing track and sitting at a workstation is not my idea of being etertained. Is the hair on the back of your neck standing up?? Mine isn't either. I certainly admire his abilities, but there are guys hanging out at Guitar center that are just as good. Presentation is everything, ask Susan Boyle. Talent and entertainment value are two different things.
I don't know how many times I've watched this guys videos, but I can't get enough of him.. MAAAAaaan does this guy make his axe sing.. makes the notes sound like they're taking flight.. so tasteful.. THIS is a guitarist!
I'd love to know what equipment he uses, THAT'S the sound i've been trying to get and i just can't figure it out without going digital or what ever..
Led zeppelin whole lotta love solo part( listen to the drums)+ cliffs of dover + a bunch of other cool songs + very well tought and played "connecting parts" connecting each song + heavy artist influence + decapitated guitar, and voila! but its cool.
Amazing dexterity, great musicianship, big leagues player!. But I agree with the judges at GC, there is no blues here. If the contest was about playing the blues... well. John perfectly makes sense bout playing that Steinberg, cause I suppose itt has the Trans-Trem system. When he makes some double-pulls with the whammy bar it sounds like slide! Im a fan!
Nice work my friend I would like to see you play a traditional strat ..I dont know why it just seems ...welll ..normal but you are certainly a great guitarist
@MrDirectGraffiti It's Steinberger. A lot professional guitar players use them. I saw the guitar player for Genesis use one on the Invisible Touch Tour.
dude... I just watched that and my noticed my jaw was on the floor. some serious chops. the no head stock guitar looks like it's perfect for what you're trying to accomplish. You're blessed with a gift my friend!
@TheRuobi What's there to hate? The neck never warps, the trem can bend full chords, and you don't have to wind a string through a tuner. I personally don't like the small body steinbergers, but the m series like he has are great guitars.
He CAN shred, but there isnt a lot of melody in this, he's just everywhere. Some parts sound pretty good, but then others im just like....what is he doing?
lol sweeping minor and diminished arpeggios prolly not gonna win you a blues contest, just saying. Sometimes you got to squeeze notes a lot more, you can put the speed in occasionally but blues is almost pure melody. This is very close to Satriani/Vai type "surfing" songs with all the accidentals. Its too much for the Clapton guys.
Not sure if that is the right arrangement for a blues song. Don't get me wrong it sounds awesome but it sounds too metal. In a blues song there should be some breathing room everything is kind of merged together. For example listen to Albert Collins and the way his solos hit and back off, there should be some emotion in the solo.
what messed up is that when they show their playing up close people complain that their face is missing when they show their face people complain that their headstock it missing...geez
You are great!!! Thank you for the music :))
