The best is Takayoshi Ohmura!!

[Ruvigy]

That George Lynch looks kinda scary, but he plays sweet ;D

[papercut32]

Wow, never thought I'd see any of these guys do a blues jam.

[horacrux]

I have 1 for ya.In this digital age,do you think players, like Beck,Page,BB king would be where they are now. if people were crapping over every note selection.And do you think guitar playing would be where it is today if they weren't open to play whatever that wanted?Just let these dudes play,enjoy it,use it to grow and make something yourself.P.S i

thought randy rhodes,from the 70's had blonde hair.Didn't realize he liked to wear that much red :P

So boring.

[Ghostlyman211]

I gotta say, you enjoy and appreciate guitar playing a lot more when you realize how idiotic guitar elitism is XD

[q28s1]

@Ghostlyman211 Reminds me of a stupid little joke I heard. How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb? Ten. One to screw the light bulb in and nine to say they can do it better.

[RossGeller79]

i mean rocked :P

[RossGeller79]

syu rockee

[killyourself205]

i wish i could move to japan were metal is alive

[evroulakias]

thumps up for gus!!!!!

[MrZovar]

Watching a multiple guitarists show is like eating a burger; if you insist on comparing each ingredient with the other, you end up having eaten Buns, Lettuce, Bacon, Tomato, Onion, Cheese, Mayonnaise & Ketchup separately and not a Burger. So stop f&%$@#g comparing and enjoy the show as a whole. Gawd!

Great video BTW, thank for the upload! :)

[monochromeEARTH]

why is syu's v so fucking huge?!?! thats just epic

(or is he just short?)

[eveningninja]

I just can't help but feel that every time I watch Takayoshi it seems like he's desperately overusing his technical ability in an attempt to automatically impress. Not very appealing =/

[duy199]

ohmura , ohmura. ohmura

[overlex]

I wish I was up there :( lol

[aoisatan]

how tall is gus g?

[speedjunkie66]

The one band that got me into metal was dokkens tooth and nail album, I'm 43 now and still listen to them, for those ppl who are dissin metal? Grow up and stop being narrow minded, if you want to learn how to play then I suggest you stop ur bitchin and learn how to play, yeah everyone has different taste in what they listen to but that don't give you the right to put down metal, like I said earlier I'm 43 and I still listen to metal, before you shoot your mouth off think about what ur gonna say

[massu814]

@speedjunkie66 hey im 20 and i listen to all the old metal you have to respect the old before you can full understand the new

[ashkaradur718]

Not really. When I started listening to metal I went listening to the new stuff first and I still understood it. When I listened to the old stuff that's when I started noticing how metal has progressed.

[speedjunkie66]

They were all good but george tore it up, he's my biggest influence in pickin up the guitar and I haven't looked back

[ashkaradur718]

Well he's the most experience but Gus. G and Takayoshi are really good for their age. Syu is cool too.

[RoseWood5566]

thats right! George! show them how its really done.

[carmelocj15]

Solidiquis is right.

[MaeEvelynn]

Kirk, Alexi, and Herman are all waay overrated. The only reason people always use their names is because they are in a well known band. I bet that if they weren't in the bands that they are in now, no one would give a rip. Look at all the guitarists on here, the players on youtube have more talent than the three of them.

[Reoreyh]

True story. I personally hate Alexi. He tries to play shit way above his level. I have respect for Herman, cause he really doesn't think he's all that. People sorta paint him out like that, but he's really not. I saw 'em live, liked it. They did their job. I HATE METALLICA. >_> And I hate metallica fans. Metallica's just a bunch of media whore wannabes who can't play instruments. They sound awful.

[MaeEvelynn]

yeah i agree with the herman thing but i just dont like the music he plays because its sloppy. But he is a good player

[Solidiquis]

Metallica sounds awful? You must be delusional. Their the greatest thing ever to happen to music.

[Reoreyh]

ROFL. OKAY THERE.

You act like they're the Beatles of metal or something.

IRON MAIDEN are the Beatles of metal.

Get shit on, you ignorant talentless prick.

[Solidiquis]

Then can u explain Metallica is the seventeenth best selling artist in America, starting as an underground band in the thrash scene where was no where near mainstream? For a band that began as something underground, not endorse by any major labels, they have a legendary reputation.

FYI Metallica has sold more records then Iron Maiden.

It's all opinion, but you're a genuine idiot

[Reoreyh]

So, basically you're saying that selling records demonstrates skill and meaning in the music industry? Typical north american faith in a shitty market.

Jonas Brothers sell alot of music. Hanna Montana sell alot of music.

Btw, I pulled up some records. Here are some people that have sold MORE music than Metallica. Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Shania Twain, Boston, Whitney Houston, Hootie and the Blowfish, Alanis Morissette, Bruce Springsteen, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Prince.

[Reoreyh]

Solidiquis, are you telling me that these people are the greatest thing to ever happen to music because they sold alot of music?

[Solidiquis]

But what it DOES demonstrate though is that many others share my opinion in Metallica's music. You make it sound as if your opinion is fact. Metallica is my favorite band, and I see plenty of meaning in their songs. I genuinely love Metallica's music.

I bet your the type of person who judges by the superficial. Go deeper and explore abit more before you talk.

[Reoreyh]

[...] and they didn't pioneer anything. They did nothing for the music industry but play loud and fast ( inaccurately ) and call themselves trash metal, whilst all these unheard of bands that ABSOLUTELY SHIT ALL OVER METALLICA IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY get no attention or record deals or anything. Bottom line is, they're like Britney Fucking Spears. They don't deserve their success. There are small town bands in my city that worked harder and play better than Metallica.

[Solidiquis]

Do you even know what thrash is??

Have you heard ANY of their instrumentals!!

'

This just proves to me that you don't know shit!

Orion, Call of Ktulu, To live is to Die!

There! Those are some theoretical pieces of music that Metallica WROTE!

Do you even know what thrash is?? The whole point of it is to play fast!

It's adrenaline, anger etc

[Solidiquis]

And why do you think Metallica got a record deal in the first place when no one has even heard of Thrash? BECAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD!

I'm not just gonna give some random genre I've never even heard about a record deal unless it sounded good.

Thrash was not known to anyone!

The music industry's attention was focused on Glam Metal.

It just proves how a great Metallica is, taking something no one's even heard of, and making something huge out of it.

[Reoreyh]

@Solidiquis:

Let me ask you. What is the extent of your musical training?

[Solidiquis]

I know much theory. Let's just say that.

[Reoreyh]

@Solidiquis: Elaborate. Exactly how many years have you been studying your instrument?

[Solidiquis]

3 years may not seem much but trust me, I'm devoted. My knowledge of theory is very expansive.

[Reoreyh]

I'm done arguing with you. You probably played a recorded in elementary school. Rofl. I cannot believe you wasted my time like this.

[Solidiquis]

Thanks for proving your ignorance.

I'm sure you lost this argument due to your closed mind.

[Reoreyh]

kk. Bring the argument back up. You just want the last word. You have NO musical training. You're probably just some highschool kid. Show me a recording of your work, or a transcript of your musical courses. Let's see your vast musical accomplishments.

[Solidiquis]

I AM in highschool, and no I do not have to take my time and post up a video to prove myself to you. You'll just have to take my word for it.

You don't need and understanding music's infrastructure to appreciate it. Metallica may not be all that complex, playin within the pentatonic box all the time, but who gives a damn. It sounds good right?  Just because Kirk isn't Yngwie playing arpeggios in 50 different modes doesn't mean he isn't a good musician.

[Solidiquis]

you don't need to know all this complex shit or know how it's constructed to appreciate it. When you hear a song, you don't go," Hey, he's playing The Em key in the Dorian mode. I like this song." The first thing you notice is how it sounds!

Look at these guys, EVERYTHING is played in the Eb Pentatonic box.

Nothing here is complex!

It sounds good, I don't need to know what it is to know it sounds good.

[Reoreyh]

@Solidiquis: Yes, it DOES mean that he isn't a good musician. That's exactly what it means. Entertainment =/= skill. Just because masses of fanboys that heard metal for the first time because it was on MTV becase of Metallica, doesn't mean that they're a good band. I GUARANTEE YOU that the first metal you ever heard in your life was Metallica. You (and most of the world) have nothing to compare it to, because you're musically ignorant. If you were a true metal fan you'd recognize the [...]

[IbanezEqualsWin]

@Reoreyh I like technical music, I listen to Necrophagist for crying out loud xD but the point of music is to sound good. SImple can be deadly but not all the time.

[Reoreyh]

[...] garbage these people put onto CDs then sell to metal head wannabes and you wouldn't give a shit. But no, this is the kind of mainstream metal bullshit you heard first, so you think they're some god given band that is the be all and end all of metal. They're bad. They're posers. They're as bad as KISS. Unskilled retards who manage to profit from the ignorant.

Complicated and difficult to play music is not instantly good music, but simple, easy, effortless crap like Metallica is not. ->

[Reoreyh]

Their music is uninspired wannabe garbage with no passion or integrity at all. They're incompetent musicians who have managed to suck in the world. To use popularity as a defense is a JOKE.

[Solidiquis]

Let me ask you, what is the definition of the word "OPINION"

Metallica wasn't mainstream at all until their 4th album. It doesn't matter if something is mainstream or not, it all comes down to whether it sounds good or not!

And no, the band that got me into metal was Judas priest. You argue based on your preassumptions proving how ignorant you are and how your closed mindedness doesn't allow you to see music through a different persepective

[Solidiquis]

And I'm musically ignorant? I'm not the one who doesn't like a band just because their simplistic.

I don't like a band when they don't sound good.

Metallica was inspired by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Venom, Tigers of Pantang, etc

You're telling me that those lack passion and integrity?

You percieve passion as someone who plays melodically, or slowly perhaps. Someone who plays blues.

Well others like to express their passion through different means

[Solidiquis]

Just because Metallica doesn't sit their and try and compose a mighty complicated piece doesn't mean shit. They do have good sounding songs with awesome riffs and such despite much of the solos sounding like they're improvised on the spot. IT SOUNDS GOOD. Even then, they do have songs where the solo is well constructed and even the riffs. As i said: Master of Puppets, Call of Ktulu, To live is to Die, Orion, Dyer's Eve, Damage Inc.

LIsten to these songs, then voice your unbiased opinion.

[Solidiquis]

Ok, first of all, you're taking this way out of context.

The people you've brought up don't even fall under the same category as Metallica. You can't compare apples and oranges. I made a mistake by being too general but I for one see much meaning in Metallica's songs. They weren't part of the whole mainstream crowd, dressing up, preaching about sex, drugs, rock & roll etc. They played because they enjoyed it.

And no, the amount of records sold does not demonstrate greatness,

[Reoreyh]

Don't you get my point? The masses are WRONG. The masses don't have any musical training or understanding. Massive amounts of people liking a band does NOT mean the band is untalented, however, in this case, if these people (and you) knew what they were talking about when it came to musical talent, they would not like Metallica and they would certainly not worship it. It's the most MAINSTREAM METAL IN THE WORLD. More so than Dragonforce. As it sits, Metallica's guitarists sound awful live [...]

[Solidiquis]

You don't need musical training to appreciate music! It all comes down to whether it sounds good or not!

You don't need to be all fancy and understand theory to be a person with a musical opinion.

Like I said, this is YOUR opinion!

You don't know whether it is fact or not!

And I do have a musical understanding. I know what I'm talking about.

They may not be all that technical or complex, but they know how to sound good.

You're so fuckin ignorant

[senshitincho]

syu is the best of them but blues is not his strong thing

[ElectricNeoclassism]

syu and takayoshi rocks

[sixpounder6169]

syu is a awesome guitarist! but looks like hes sponsoring sweet and sour chicken lol!

[HiredGoonage]

Joan Jett looks good in red.

[zangetsu9915]

gus g dominated at this blues based jam

[ddontforgett]

dude Don't be discouraged I also feel that Gus G dominated here, but that's our opinion, he had some sick phrases

George lynch on the other hand, played the same thing over and over IMO

[BigBleachFan132]

This is kind of a slow, jazzy-ish song... Kirk wouldn't have smoked them. Especially if they were all going fast and doing their best :P lol

[spitboi7]

sounds like they are all stoned

[DWguitaristIV]

after theyre done they all walk around the stage thinking "yea we're sick.. we know"

[DanteMetalGuitar]

all those who support their own "country" guitarist are just lame.try at least to learn from their music.they are all great guitarists and they play different styles.

[Petruccikakias]

fuck they all suck there...

[TheBlack669]

syu and takayoshi are the best!!!!!!!!

[paokaki1992]

ESP guitars rules!!

[thenoodler]

Look at Lynch schoolin those punks.

[punxkillerx]

europe people suck on guitar.asian is smart.

[DirtieF0X]

i wouldn't go that far

anyone can be great on guitar with enough determination and practise

[TheSlaughter13]

i think gus shit him self at 3:21

[Tritono9]

lynch riffs sucks

[KhidirD2K]

so?

[MaRa37Uchiha]

i think Gus G is the best there, whatevever his style is metal and u can hear how he plays blues, he's awesome.

[HighZombiesRule]

I disagree, Syu's awesome.

[Thewordisfunkadelic]

I say that Syu is the best on that stage

[alko28]

Trop bon Ohmura!!(a droite)

Vive le Japon!

[toxicity28]

dude how come some of you guys just wont shut the fuck up and listen to damn jam. arguments like this are so damn petty, there artist dont go on stage for you guy to criticize them while there playing, they do it for the fun and the entertainment , at least they took their sweet as time to make such a fine jam and some of you can only shit in your houses and bitch about who is better or not, the japanses are a great player and if you cant realize that then there is a problem

[ouatica]

Syu is way better

[Sonick92]

Gus G has an ear for metal and he can play it!!

[jeremiecaron5]

you are an asshole and i hope you will die with a fucking pain in the ass motherfucker

[syxxsyxxsyxx]

Sorry mate, but George isn't very impressive next to the Japanese Guitarists. I'm a George Lynch fan but can admit when he is beat.

[flamen89]

you're a clone

[tomroffey666]

gus g. is the best

[Jdog8998]

Like usual xD

[Funtwothebest]

not always xD

[Funtwothebest]

syu here is dressed like a fag xD

[saintidiot]

all really good players

[MaestroJericho]

not to mention esp guitars owe their life to george lynch who played them, before it was even a major company

[MaestroJericho]

lol lynch is pretty much in randy rhoads league... he got worse due to body building but see his older vids

[ferlynch]

they say that lynch sucks coz most of guitarist are just wannabes of popular guitar players, IF ANYONE WOULD TRY TO PLAY A STYLE THAT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THEIR HEARTS they probably would inspire people too.... for the only guitar player that PLAYS JUST WHAT HE FEELS is GEORGE LYNCH for the others i can listen thousand of guitar players that sound alike, and uses the sameeee licks and same tone... PEOPLE THAT SAY LYNCH SUCKS... THEY JUST DONT REALIZE WHAT THEIR SAYING...

[ADEZK]

resptect the legend!!

lynch has the most kick ass slides :P!!!

[n3osamura1]

Lots of people are saying Lynch sucks...but no one really realizes that Lynch's playing style isn't the same as everyone else. He's doing his own thing as everyone else is doing theirs.

[ferdk16]

that lynch guy was total crap xD, for me Syu and Taka owned here... i'm a bit more for Syu

[rentao9999]

Jeorge Lynch Faces XDXDXDXDXD

Jajajajajajj
