Hufschmid Guitar Competition Entry - Alex McCarthy - TOP TEN ENTRY

[SanjeevGeorgeV]

Nice playing....have you got any tabs for this?

[joffrey37]

I don't understand how you shred is that clean, but when you play slowly, it's not really nice to hear. First time i'm seeing that

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@joffrey37 Uh ... what?

[joffrey37]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch Sorry if you misunderstood me, my english is approximative, I'm french. I wanted that your shredding is okay and clear, but when you play slowly, it doesn't feel fluid...

[metallica5252]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch he's absolutely right, you're definitely gifted at shredding like that, but you really have to work on phrasing your slower lines. That being said, good shit bro.

[MrRatiocination]

were you taught by someone or self taught ??

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@MrRatiocination I had lessons, from like... 5 different teachers.

[highintel]

You were in the top ten?

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@highintel Don't sound so surprised. :P

[highintel]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch Just a Question man.. I couldn't find the forum for them. You are very good.. don't sweat it.

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@highintel Haha, I was kidding, but thanks for the comment.

[highintel]

Yeah man, don't put yourself down, they're will be a lot of entries with incredible shredding that us humans can't compete with but your musical ideas are just as valuable, if not more so... ;) Keep it up!

Awesome playing, awesome Jackson, horrible poster!

Haha nice playing dude, you're gonna win for sure :D

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@ShredWithEd No love for Paramore? :P Much appreciated though.

[Conti15]

Fuck you, i'm sick of people making really nice videos and saying oh its average its not going to win, either get some confidence or stop trying to impress people with your "high standards"

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Conti15 Overreaction much? I just don't think it's as good as a lot of the other entries. But I guess I appreciate the kind of compliment.

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Conti15 Well, dick face. I didn't win. I hope you're happy. Dick.

[666Everblack]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch : Well said. The more you practice, the more you become objective about your own skills and clearly know your own weak points.

This is called "Intelligence".

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@666Everblack A wise man knows how little he knows. :)

[666Everblack]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch : Me agree. Keep up with the good work, dude.

[OhTheOtherDude]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch Shameless, absolutely shameless plaigarism.

[Dreamfullofzen]

That was pretty damn cool!

[stebbZv]

to tell you the truth... i was so not expecting that! that was awesome :D good luck!

[Grafkores]

you're protest the hero influenced :P

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Grafkores What tipped you off? :P

[Grafkores]

@IMakeVideosYouWatch purely dunno, your solo reminded my about protest the hero, just an opinion :D

[Nasosdag]

Average? I'd say it's pretty badass my little friend! Best of luck, it's one of the best I've seen. But why only 1:42?

May I ask how do you record?

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Nasosdag Cheers, I really appreciate it.

I felt the whole 3 minutes or so would get a bit boring, so I just composed a relatively short solo.

And I use a camera and play the music out of my speakers.

[kingdarko]

Great video i liked that alot :D

[Fiarzen]

AWESOME :D

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Fiarzen Haha, cheers.

[Niallphillips]

also, it has to be posted as a vid response so dont forget

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Niallphillips Cheers, yeah I think I've submitted it but as far as I know he hasn't accepted it. I may try again soon.

[Niallphillips]

jesus, you won me over with that alt picking part...your my fav so far, well done!

[Niallphillips]

@Niallphillips oh right, mine hasn't shown up either but theres a lot of people applying so maybe youtube is just a bit slow, best of luck

[IMakeVideosYouWatch]

@Niallphillips Yeah, I checked yours out and it was good stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing who wins, good luck to you too.
