Stephen Ross Shred Video

[benbrenn]

Great

[RenderToaster01]

HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS GONNA GROW INTO A PEDO LOLOLOLOL

[Govanmaniac]

How can this guy shred so easily in a les paul? This guy is the proof: technic and feeling can walk side by side.

[312chicagoadam]

I remember this guy! So very, very cool! Great technique and tone,,,,just my type of thing!

Man,,,this MADE MY DAY!

[StreamStationTV]

Were you the guy who wrote an article about Michael Ruelas? Go to /michaelruelas(dot) com you should be able to recognize his style. Michael also got on that compilation album Resume Vol. 1 and was quoted by as being incredible. Does the name John Stix ring a bell. Michael has a new album coming out soon. Hit Michael up on his. myspace.(dot) com/michaelaruelas.

[metalhead75]

I always wished you'd put out a 2nd Shrapnel CD. The debut had some really unique sounds and ideas, as far as Shrapnel albums went. Good to see your still playing Steve, and best of luck.

[ExtremeBogom]

I'm a mad guitar fan who's finally got your debut album.

Now I've heard a lot of guitar albums but this still sounds so rich, and full of melodies and hooks, and some of the most delish vibrato I've heard. It has that classic shrapnel production too, with the keyboards, loud drums and clarity.

My favorites on it are: Lee's theme, Last ditch effort, Midnight drive, and warp.

Thanks for the inspiration man.

[Raenydyne]

Midnight Drive was a great ride. Always wondered what happened to you. Still got it!

[lneme]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[adfrocker133]

fuck dude thats amazing hard to play on normal guitar made for shredding but on a less fucking paul thats insane

[MehosPhace]

[6l2k0855]

[lonestar225]

[loliamsobad]

Haha, now I understand why are bragging on youtube, not having any videos up?:/

[jittboy1]

amazing shredding very underated player one of the best in the 90s as well as today

[D4athPanda]

I can't shred on my Les Paul ):

[nooneimportant12]

I think I'm in Love.

[illCrackYoFace]

Wow.

Your wearing cowboy hat and shredding.

You are god.

Needs a beer.

[madmason03]

Previous comment was in response to this...

Ybsored - Again , i can't realized he have a career in music.

Not sure why the reply button works with some comments and not others.

[Simen0303]

Ive never heard about you man! You are insanly good! New inspiration for me :)

[RyanLVMetal88]

you are the shredfather. never go against the shred family

[str4to]

It's very hard to find a shredder with a rocking style !!!

Awesome !

[caphits]

sweet hat....awsome guitarness

[thekat67]

thats awesome. and its on a Les Paul, making it even harder

[leowakawaka]

haha I love hearing those sweeps at the beggining on a les paul.

[TpFw77]

duude this is exactly why i love gibson les pauls! their dual humbuckers give the tone you need for stuff like this. good job.

[air1rocks91]

normally i dislike gibsons but the mini humbuckers on his seem pretty sweet

[sieseyewarrick]

wow dude. No offense I really don't care about the speed but that was really soulful. Great playing my friend.

[TheLostTruckDriver]

Sounds even better than your album, glad to see you still shred!

[vannbritt1]

I have the midnight drive solo album, by far one of my favorites!now I want a gibson!!!

[KarlShreds]

WoW! thats was sick, sounds great! I just posted some shred vids that i think you may enjoy!

[spokesacaster]

This is great and its actually tasteful shred!!!!!

[Bostonman70]

This guys rules. All of you who are slamming him are idiots! This guy is 10 times the guitar player you'll ever be!

[Chefpvr]

to all of the haters out there I want to see you post a video of yourself playing like this. This guy has some serious talent and I've got some advice from him in the past on a previous sn. It's not about how fast you can play, it's about the quality of the music that you make. Of course mind blowing fast licks can be very impressing and soul robbing if played correctly.

[majav15mg]

not because u cant play it means u cant criticize it -_-

[richardispeachy]

on a les paul....wow!

[fcukfcuk2007]

You are a God - I am not worthy sir

[honorown]

arrogant sex face

[doingyallafavor]

that is exactly why appealing to guitar geeks is better than the whole world. nobody wants you morons in our company! leave the craft to the willing and the world to the consumer morons!!!!!!

[doingyallafavor]

you people are idiots. if this guy was playing right next to you at guitar center he would make you feel stupid! you morons can't play like this, all you can do is say so and so or such and such is better! better at what?!

[lanemergess]

Incredible. (mis-typed) In previous field. Oh and by the way I just subscribed to this channel. Later!

[lanemergess]

Inredible, two thumbs up from," Sick Licks". That was probably the best solo I've seen here, as well. Kudos to the guy in the hat. Peace, Aaron

[FirstSplitter]

What A Killer Guitar Player

R E S P E C T ! ! !

[majav15mg]

what a cool name =)

[DimeZakkSlash]

Virtuoso, boring and funny face.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

haha.. hat...

[Ybsored]

Where is the toilett??? Mr ROss expression face have some

emergency needs .80's years as far , fake feeling belong to past . Again , i can't realized he have a career in music ...

[MeTuLHeD]

I can't realized your career as a truck driver.

[shreddingEnigma]

Shredding with melodies, this guy really sounds like and is almost identical in style with Ritchie Kotzen. One of the greatest solos ive seen here on You Tube.

[jcaff89]

yeah i was thinking the same thing, he sounds just like kotzen.

[Guitarwannabee]

he was before Ritchie

[justinjonesypoo]

inever really saw shredding on les paul. keep it up man.

[xTristan1994]

Obviously you never heard of Zakk Wylde.

[fendert]

nobody likes you

[chimpo32]

Doesnt Look Right On A Gibson, But Fuck Me Your Good.

[breeden66]

cant get good tone with emg's they are loud gain machines that sound like crap burstbucker pro's rock in a les paul

[mdriazj]

nice hat :P

[jeRrRKKKK]

i think... more bass... less middle... and EMGs 60 and 81s... and your sound will be... heavy. its too... pussy now.. lacks that kick. but great playing. you're almost as fast as me. haha.. joking.

[wccfl07]

fuck that...its sounds fuckin awesome. don't change shit. its far from pussy sounding

[kyle122388]

your such an IDIOT

[Kuitar]

Beautiful!

[magicmanjp]

wow your tapping is pretty freakin sick.

[MMM2K6]

You got a cd, you pwn

[deadbydawn421]

Pretty sick in my opinion.Period.

[Ark1235]

lol, your like the coolest shreder ever :)

[thrav]

I don't see the point.

[dolphinsplatter]

Ted Nugent and Paul Gilbert's bastard son

[Laihohatecrew13]

nice playing crappy tone

[MaskOfSanity142]

lol I like watching people that play Blue's and stuff like that cause it allways looks like there having a Orgasum, But nice job mate good stuff

[ldewitt]

"4 stars for time spent in the woodshed." He's doing a warm-up...it's standard procedure to go through all your more difficult techniques so you don't fuck up at an audition or some gig.

[tomatl]

jumble of notes. Im sure there is theory going on but it just doesnt sound good. gave you 4 stars for time spent in the woodshed.

[guitaralbert0]

dude, good job. i can't think of anything else to say.

[metalhealth88]

the guitar playing is fuckin amazing.

the faces could be compaired to climaxing while beating off.

But it shows that you acually feel what your playing and thats awsome. HOW DO YOU DO THOSE FUCKIN SWEEPS!!?

[pocketspray]

that was sickkkkk (in a good way)

[PirotePete25]

Thats really good. It sounds like something EVH would play.

[g1asseye]

on a les paul... shredding OMG what is this world coming to!

[PGS412]

Magic!!

[Shrevan]

Extremely Enjoyable

[RADmrKEVIN]

your tone sucks....but um....you fast i guess

[johnniie]

what's wrong with the tone? it's great

[keith101guitar]

i love this guy!

[matt18matt18]

Good technique but where's the music?

[SGGURU]

I'm sure that your LP blows the Ibanez away. No comparisson.

[guitar66shred]

I like that name for a CD. "The Musical Jerk-Off"

[mymusick86]

musical jerkoff indeed

[AlGerard]

man the amp sounds great

[GuitarPerry]

When he plays the bluesy stuff, he sounds like Zakk Wylde ^^

[shrednose5]

fuckin sweet

[shrednose5]

sjdhfaw

[LynyrdJimyrd]

Gary Moore from Thin Lizzy is the king of facial expressions! Unbeatable! and dude fantastic playing!

[Dude421]

this guy can not pull off blues, no matter how much he scrunches his face up. usualy, blues player actually hold notes for more that an instant, and their notes actually mean something. this is musical jerk off sesh.

[KataarSolo]

madness man. you kick serious monkey ass. rock on.

[mrosemrose]

yeah the sweeping stuff is just strange with the les paul and cowboy hat. great playing!

[darthblade90]

i think hes about to cry...

[Zapppppp]

You should have kept to the bluesy licks in this video and not have strayed off to showy sweeping licks that don't fit in as well.

[hsm2006]

waooo !!! \o/

[gehennax66]

you are amazing on that guitar!

[sorandom1985]

clearly the oh face is what makes him a quality guitar player

[zodiaczombie]

Facial expressions are a must for shredding.

[jobbythehutt]

On the subject of facial expressions, I hereby nominate Dave Murray of Iron Maiden as The King of facial guitar playing, bar none! Hail hail King Dave!!!

[Patteman]

noo.. facial expressions are a must for blues.. shred is lame if u ask me.. mark my words.. i think ur great but i dont like shred :D nice paulie by the way

[cheesypieleo]

4 things to say about this video

1. dude, what is up with the face expressions!!!

2. great shred dude..

3. doesn't look very realistic.

4. you look a tad like david grohl.

[thesoftparade713]

Dude, you have tremedous feel for the guitar and your playing is the essence of what someone with a les paul should do. However, I can not tell whyat type of pickups those are. Could you enlighten me? Thanks.

[hamwinkie]

They are Gibson humbuckers. They made them smaller starting 1969? to make manufacturing easier. They fit a P-90 route. They are a little different sounding than a full size hum. but I think better than old 50s PAFs. Those are all hype. In fact, every one sounds extremey different while these are consistent. Peace

[jiml217]

great faces and playing

[nighlo]

It's nice to see someone really shred out with a Les Paul for a change. Usually it's with strats, or Frankenstrats. The cowboy hat makes him look down to Earth, but the bookcase gives him intellectual cred. A man of contrasts, to be sure.

[schmendict]

Nice hat, nice guitar, excellent track, by the way, are those P90s?

[freakguitar1]

yehhh man u rock! :)

[autonut222]

well now i have to say that is pretty darn good.i been playing for many year's bass and drum's. very good dude really enjoyed it.

[monellasal]

yeah watch batio, he does sweep tapping also

[christhemanrulez]

hey on the part on 51 seconds and on 1 minute 6 seconds what are you doing there..

[hermantequila]

he's mixing fingertapping with sweep picking

[hermantequila]

or at least that's what it looks like to me...

[Soulgrenade]

lol@the haterz and their jealousy. you WISH you could play guitar

[freakguitar1]

word!

[Hastings182]

u can definatly play but dude this solo sounds terrible get a diff 1 plz!

[RanDompwnz]

youre a retard its not a solo hes just fucking shredding =)

[heorot]

jesus man, you don't have to berate the guy for having fun. his playing is not remotely in the style of petrucci or satriani, and i think most people would back me up in saying that neither of them would have gotten to where they are today if they indeed only play meaningless "flurries of notes." that's cool if you're a jazz dude, but this guy isn't trying to play jazz - at least, i sure hope not if he was on mike varney's label.

[deathinbodom1]

you make the funniest faces dude....but good playing

[ironmaiden339]

That was awesome. Shredding on top of a country scale. SICK MAN.

[hermantequila]

wow, an extremely talented hick (mostly a compliment:D)

[777Guitarrist]

i hate his face is he in a orgasm or something he think he play for hevaven God Bless Everyone.

[gangstageek]

man i envy you

[tasdvl9]

That was some impressive playing. It's refreshing to see someone shredding on a Les Paul and who's not strictly playing alternate picked scale runs left and right. Did you take lessons are did you train yourself by listening to other musicians?

[olympiankeep]

Agree. This is actually the first time I've seen anybody shred on a Les Paul.

[deathmetalXXX]

man... a redneck playin metal.. thatz a nice one to see

[stevevaiguy]

ha i wonder if "they" picked you

[expertizzle]

dude, play fast if you want to play fast

[skiffler]

You sound like Richard Fortus.

[rocknflip66]

i like your facial expression when you end -lol- I have those moments too, sh*t I think most guitarist have those moments. HAHA! good stuff man

[grahamroese]

This is very advanced playing. What kind of auditions were you preparing for?

[jose1987ba]

Man, you are amazing!

[tylerchristifulli]

Dude I think its prett good , and forget wat the other dude says about being expresive when your feeling it your feeilng it . if ya want you should check out my solo type in Aisle 31 and watch when we play live at the green room. thanx

[musicus77]

hey can u post how much money u can earn? like approx playing at shows when ur 14 and stuff?

[guitar66shred]

It depends on many factors. Do you have a following? How impressive is your press package? Basically, if you can make money for someone they will be willing to pay you, if not, they probably won't. However there are other things to consider. Will the show provide exposure etc.

[guitar66shred]

If you are playing a place that has a built in following, and you are very good and can hold the crowd, you can earn anywhere, on average, between $100.00 to $800.00 a night playing shows and gigs.

[musicus77]

thanks, i hav a brief idea =-)

[NyMeTs47]

its awesome. elcaptainbrian go play some gay eric claptin songs on you squier strat u wannabee. it is excellent playing man

[bobblyface]

what can i say.. orgasmic. literally. is there a lubricated hole somewhere on that les paul?

[minichado]

I like the sound, lots of hammer on runs... sounds fun to play... check out my vid's sometime, not alot of origional stuff up yet but im getting to it.

[elcaptainbrian]

That is terrible, how are you pulling such expressive faces and playing such shite? Its not expressive at all

[untappedfury]

Good Shit bro. kicks ass, check out our shit untappedfury we got a new vid up, i'm gonna put up a shred thing to like in a week tell me what you think.

[SilentQ]

The chicken-picking you do reminds me of zakk wylde in his Pentatonic Hardcore video, sounds great!

[guitar66shred]

Thanks for the comments, especially the nice ones.

[mightydog1]

i like it, like it alot, hes awsome musician.

[eduardoslash]

nice job !! is that a epiphone or gibson ?

[guitar66shred]

That is a 1974 Les Paul

[eduardoslash]

i know but its a epiphone o gibson ?

[guitar66shred]

Gibson

[eduardoslash]

wooooow nice guitar !! les paul classic !! i play the guitar too, i have an ibanez but i love the les paul but these are too expensivee

[thebestphilipp]

Very great session but not in THESE CLOTHES! I will please you to wear warrior clothes by playing this hard stuff.

[Wenceslas]

ugly, just ugly, it's a disgrace...

[guitar66shred]

If ugliness was what I was trying to convey, would that make it brilliant LOL

[farkus147]

I can't play that stuff but guess what...went for auditions alongside such shredders and got the gig. Why....because in bands with vocals, rhythm is so much more important. Damn you play good though!

[narshadda]

Again, great stuff... Very Zakk Wyldish... Sounds like something off the first "Guitars that Rule the World" album... Like Richie Kotzen meets Zakk Wylde... Great Playing!

[riffguy2]

sounds good man

[mrlighthead]

It's lame because it's metal.

[Crudlo]

ten dollars says he got the job

[Musomniac]

I like it how you use shred licks and add a phrase in on the end to make it sound country, nice one

[boilingwater17]

Damn, his fingers are fast! He's damn good!

[JMBorrello]

you look like that wild guy from up in mich.

i need play like that !

[erod1944]

Dresses like a 70's southern rocker, monster shreads with the cleanest shread tone I've ever heard w/ blues implications, READS Music, READS Books. I am so confused. U Rock Buddy.

[HopePoisoned]

yea you're pretty okay - it sounds good when you play, just remember gibson and marshall aren't the solutions to everything!

[killthepixelnow]

Fuck! You kick ass... with a Les paul, incredible! Wonderful and round tone, acurate picking, great bues ideas, crazy shredding, depurated sweep/tapping technique. My regards!

[ashflower]

It makes me sad how cool this guy is.

[sduser01]

Awesome shit man

[henpage]

shred suks

nuff said

[koga6197]

.. lets see u play something better

[coffeeintheface]

rocking the 'stache and cowboy hat..are you audition for Walker Texas Ranger? hahaha awesome dude
