i dont like this solo, it SUCKS imho, but im not a kirk hammet fan or what the fuck i think that Chris is one of the best guitarists but this solo is too fast and doesnt sounds good
@MetaIIica93 And I would bet a substancial amount of money you did not bother to listen to the solo in the context of the song and simply judged it based on this video? Listen to the song 'scarlet letter' by jag panzer then try and tell me this solo sucks...on its own like this sure it sounds flat, as do most solos but the way its arranged outlines the chord progression beautifully and sounds really epic with the backing, listen to the actual song first rather than being a dumbass...
Reading these comments brings me back to the 8th grade when I was learning to play guitar. So many arguments over who is the best guitar player on the planet with my Metallica cover band....
Anyways, Chris Broderick is probably the best guitarist I've seen. Who gives a shit if he IS the best, it can never be proven. I just like to watch good guitarists and watching this vid is making me think about how awesome it would be to see John Petrucci and Chris rip a tandem solo.
@nneevveerrmmoorree That's probably the most ridicilous fucking comment i've ever read. Metal isn't beatiful ? It's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. It's not about banging your head like a moron and hoping you don't break your empty skull by accidently hitting a wall. It's about voices, basses, drums and guitars shredding your soul apart. If that isn't beautiful, what is?
@slashowns102938 it does lol but you cant deny thats its really cool haha, and honestly in a song it would really depend what the rhythem guitar and drums are doing. bass doesnt really matter cuz monkeys play bass... look at tom araya
@1985guy1985 Monkeys play bass? Look at Les Claypool, he's probably more skilled than any guitarist I've ever seen. Then, of course, there's Flea, Mark Miller, Victor Wooten and Matt Freeman, just to name a few. All of those people are highly skilled musicians, who are better than most guitarists. I play both bass and guitar, so I can tell.
Now, think before you make such a stupid statement. Just because the bassists in the bands you listen to are shit, doesn't mean all bassists are.
@Merioc2k3 Shut the fuck up fagget, go suck a dick or die or both. nothing les caypool does is musical. a monkey can do his job. and i play practically every stringed instrument and know more about music than you do so once again shut the fuck up fagget
@1985guy1985 Wow, awesome Ad Hominems there. Les Claypool is a musical genius. You can't deny that. You've obviously just heard a song or two by him, and then decided that he sucked.
You're jumping to conclusions, too, so your opinions can't be taken seriously. Also, I'd like to see you play some solos from Les Claypool.
@1985guy1985 Hahahaha you play stringed instruments huh?? Not a SINGLE person I know who plays would say that about Les Claypool. I agree with Merioc, Claypool is the fuckin man and writes all the parts of all the songs. Also, Victor Wooten would wipe his ass with you. Claypool and Wooten almost combine percussion and string with their solos. You instantly go to insulting someone rather than presenting an argument. Go listen to your Shitknot so the rest of us can enjoy talent in its purest form
@jfacray182 LOL dude don't get all ppissy, i made this username when i first astarted playing guitar and was obsessed with slash, now it's more dimebag and jeff loomis, you happy with that? jeeze
@25jonathan yeah but this solo is particularly just aa triplet pattern moved around the fretboard more than actual licks, don't get me wrong it sounds brilliant in the song i'm just saying on it's own it sound like more of a warm up excersize
technically if he is tremolo picking and doing it on several different strings wouldn't it just be alternate picking several strings my point is they r exactly the same except tremolo is faster
Not exactly. Alternate picking is picking the strings up and down, sometimes on different strings, to increase efficiency and speed while playing a song. Basically, ALTERNATING between upstrokes and downstrokes, and occasionally strings. Tremolo picking is picking (one single note at a time, or a slide of intentional/tangent notes on a string) very very quickly up and down on ONE string.
@UnnaturalGR No. Economy picking is always faster then alternate picking when practiced efficiently. Look at Yngwie, he almost always economy picks. Do the research.
i really dont think so i've checked guitarists like Rusty Cooley who is much faster than Yngwie he's using alternate,before months i would agree with you that economy is faster but now i've practised alternate and it really works for me
@UnnaturalGR Alternate is great, and everyone uses both anyways for the most part. But economy is faster. It wastes less time when switching strings. Rusty Cooley does both, he does not strictly alternate.
No its not, the fastest pickers in the world are pretty much all alternate pickers, guys like theodore ziras, shawn lane, dellavega etc. It makes sense really, the fastest anyone will ever be able to play is just picking on one string right? This is because the motion is consistant always down up down up, wheras with economy picking there are sudden un even changes, you might go down up down down up down up etc rather than just down up down up, at the really high speeds it is very difficult for
the muscle memory to keep up with all this changing. Straight up alternate picking however eliminates this problem because the movement is ALWAYS the same no matter what pattern you are playing it will always be consistantly down up down up, your body is alot better suited to controlling that at very high speeds than economy picking.
Of course economy picking is good too, more so for certain styles than others but to say it is 'akways faster than alternate picking' is simply nonsense.
na dude. Tremolo speed is genereated in the wrist..more fluid and less tiring on the arm. You've got it all wrong. when it comes to what Tremolo is. There's no such thing as Tremolo picking a triplet.
Tremolo picking or double picking describes the musical technique of picking on a guitar or other string instrument in which a single note is played repeatedly in quick succession. It can be achieved either with the fingers or with a pick. In the latter case, the pick is moved up and down rapidly to hit the intended string of the guitar evenly. This technique adds sustain to a melodic line where the notes would otherwise decay rapidly. If picked fast enough, the note sounds constant.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why does he spends time for making home videos for youtube? I mean we all know how good he is, does it necessary? (This will be an epic fail if this is not a home video or something lol)
I went all the way back to page 11 on the comments, I swear to god next person who says "OMG, THIS HAS NO EMOTION / OMG, ITS SO REPETITIVE" I'll rip your head off...
LISTEN TO THE FUCKING SONG BEFORE YOU MAKE BULLSHIT COMMENTS
hes extremely talented he doesnt only do metal, u guys should see some of the freakin beautiful stuff that he plays on the acoustic guitar, he play almost any style hes amazing
sounds like absolute shit, just because you play something as fast as possible doesnt mean youre a good guitar player. just means youre a fast one.... 0 stars
ok you guys are all retards, Chris Broderick is an amazing guitar player, he practices all kinds of techniques, he even plays classical music oin the guitars and does an amazing 8 finger tapping solo based on many different things if you watch, give credit to the people who take the dedication to play technical and use it in their music. I'll bet none of you can do what he does
i think this is just one of those wank songs. just to kind of show off. based on your comment i don't think you realize how godly chris broderick really is. check him out before talking shit on one of the best guitarist alive today.
never realized there might be people out there who like this kind of playing?
You can post this bullshit under some other youtube-shredding-videos but not here. chris broderick can play a LOT more than fast stuff and i bet most of the shredguitarists, too (yeah, maybe except of the ones who play for their ego), because they develop their skills and are engaged in it. grow up.
There are some good fast ones - but usually the guys who sit in their bedroom with a metronome for years are as boring as hell.
But people like Guthrie Govan and Bumblefoot can play fast but musically aswell. Robert fripp is a good example too - he can play VERY fast when he wants to, but more often than not decides to hold back
do you think fucking john mayer could pull this shit off? People realize they cant do this and instead subvert to lesser technique , honestly im glad they do some of the best music is simple
I agree with you man. But in all reality, john mayer is actually better than people give him credit for. Some of his finger picking shit is really hard, not to mention to sing while doing it.
Apparently you dont know much about chris. Im not trying to start anything, but he is a very well rounded guitar player. GO check out his Downward fall video. I think you will like it.
I really don't think it matters whether you play fast or slow. What matters is that what you play is beautiful. I don't buy the idea that speed and technique are emotionless. Mastering theory and technique only opens more doors for creativity. I also don't believe simplicity is without merit, because some of the greatest songs are simple. There is enough room in this world for both Paganini's 5th Caprice and "Jesus of Suburbia." Both are beautiful examples of artistry.
It's just artistry is really hard to come by at any time. Technique has helped me alot for expression, but I find that some of my most beautiful solos are really "simple" at least they are not as fast and technique-heavy, but it always depends on how you translate your idea into music. So whenever I get stuck, I try to see what technique I need to brush up on ^^
Yes, very nice statement. Only thing is that not everybody can play fast. All guitar players can play slow obviously, but not all of them have the talent to be fast. Even though speed isn't everything, it still shows something.
I disagree. It can be very difficult to play slow, especially when you're talking about a well developed vibrato. If you take a listen to someone who has a very intricate vibrato; for example - Marty Friedman, it can be very difficult to emulate. As for myself, one of my most intense techniques comes from the backwards whammy bar vibrato that I use in my "Guitar Tricks" video, used in conjunction with my Crybaby, in order to create a very slow, sad, and expressive singing vibrato.
Well yes that's very true when you mention vibrato, Marty Friedman is a great example. All I'm trying to say is that it does show some talent playing fast. But I do agree it isn't much if there isn't feeling in it. But those same techniques can also be pulled off in the middle of super speed riffs and solos.
Yes, of course; it obviously does take some skill to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" at 300 bpm. It's also very difficult to do 8 finger tapping when it's at its most intricate and melodic, and the same goes for fingerstyle technique.
i would have to agree with you some part. i feel that one should play slow and play fast equally. covering all ends off the spectrum. and yet sadly there are some people how cant play slow. because they never worked their way up, and when they try it sound horrible and dull. espically with a lack of vibarto.
"Emotion is in the eye of the beholder. What is emotional to one is not to another. Holding or bending one note is not the only emotion that exists which I think most people forget. There are many emotions, you have to understand which ones the musicians you listen to are trying to express [such as] fear, anger, nervous, uneasy, love, passion, hatred, religion, sex etc..."
yea it's a nice subjective argument for pretending wanking your guitar has any worthwhile musical content.
If you can't stand blindingly fast music(which you've made obvious by your comment here), why did you bother to watch this video in the first place?
It's pretty tough to convince people that their opinion is wrong and yours is right when you imply that anyone that disagrees with you(especially on a completely subjective issue) must be inferior to you in some way.
yeah fuck you man, the difference is that technical musicians have lost credibility in the world, fuckers like john mayer who was born in Connecticut and thinks he knows shit about the blues are dominant, the reemergence of technique in music is actually pretty fucking awesome
Well, if you like John Mayer, go listen to him, and leave people who don't like him alone. There's a reason why there's more than one musical genre in the world--people aren't all exact copies of one another.
Call me idealistic, but I pray for the day when people see how stupid it is to incite holy wars over individual musical tastes and go listen to the music they like instead.
"Emotion is in the eye of the beholder. What is emotional to one is not to another. Holding or bending one note is not the only emotion that exists which I think most people forget. There are many emotions, you have to understand which ones the musicians you listen to are trying to express [such as] fear, anger, nervous, uneasy, love, passion, hatred, religion, sex etc..."
P.S. I honestly don't like Rusty's playing, but I think he has a valid point here.
Yeah, the solos don't really have any emotion or any kind of feeling put in them. So they take a lot of talent and are very hard to do, I prefer Page or Clapton's solos because they have feeling! It's not just "Look at how fast I can play!"
Enough of the emotion talk. I hear it all the time and it is getting annoying. Most of the time, emotional solos are just a bunch of stupid faces and bends. I'm talking about creative solo. I prefer Michael Amotts and Chris Polands solo because they are creative. Any average guitarist can play a so called emotional solo. Most of the time it is just " look at my screwed up face and bends!"
Well take a look at my favourties and see the types of solos are in there! Maybe I just need a change!
I think whatever song it is is important though and sometimes, a slower solo that builds into a faster solo are solos that pwn! A bit of both is nice!
Who gives a fuck about if it is slow or fast. If a solo is creatively nice than that is all that matters. For some reason you are hell bend on slow solos. Me, I don't care about tempo.
OK, the quality is all that matters. I'm not that good at writing slow solos. All of mine are really fast so maybe I'm getting tired of them. Who knows? I'm not a great guitarist though.
this isnt some i'll talk about my feelings music, not every solo has to come from a bleeding heart, this is metal, fast and aggressive is part of the music
Bull Shit..go check out early 80's Metal before Malmsteen..
Check out ,Criss Oliva ,George Lynch, Randy Rhoads ,Eddie Van Halen,Vito Brattta, you might never heard of them ,But they did not focous on playing fast!
dude i just meant once in a while its fine to play a million notes a second. I am a fan of Rhoads , Oliva, Lynch and Van Halen. Take the stick out your ass
Yes, and that is THIS PARTICULAR SOLO. Other solos, you can see he does bend, and he adds a great amount of vibrato.
And if you listen to the actual song, the intro to the solo has bends and vibrato. I don't know why he didn't play it here.
If you want to hear the song, go to myspace, look up jag panzer under music in the search box, go to the music page (Not jag panzer's home page) and click the mechanized warfare album. Go to the Scarlet Letter

ok you guys are all retards, Chris Broderick is an amazing guitar player, he practices all kinds of techniques, he even plays classical music oin the guitars and does an amazing 8 finger tapping solo based on many different things if you watch, give credit to the people who take the dedication to play technical and use it in their music. I'll bet none of you can do what he does

Shred guitar is all about playing faster than the next guy, wowing people, and ego. That is all.
Good players grow up and realize there is more to playing than speed.
largemoose 2 years ago
never realized there might be people out there who like this kind of playing?
You can post this bullshit under some other youtube-shredding-videos but not here. chris broderick can play a LOT more than fast stuff and i bet most of the shredguitarists, too (yeah, maybe except of the ones who play for their ego), because they develop their skills and are engaged in it. grow up.
6li6am6 2 years ago
There are some good fast ones - but usually the guys who sit in their bedroom with a metronome for years are as boring as hell.
But people like Guthrie Govan and Bumblefoot can play fast but musically aswell. Robert fripp is a good example too - he can play VERY fast when he wants to, but more often than not decides to hold back

do you think fucking john mayer could pull this shit off? People realize they cant do this and instead subvert to lesser technique , honestly im glad they do some of the best music is simple

I agree with you man. But in all reality, john mayer is actually better than people give him credit for. Some of his finger picking shit is really hard, not to mention to sing while doing it.

for realz. His song "Neon" is a beast for finger picking.

Apparently you dont know much about chris. Im not trying to start anything, but he is a very well rounded guitar player. GO check out his Downward fall video. I think you will like it.
tastefulphrasing 2 years ago
I really don't think it matters whether you play fast or slow. What matters is that what you play is beautiful. I don't buy the idea that speed and technique are emotionless. Mastering theory and technique only opens more doors for creativity. I also don't believe simplicity is without merit, because some of the greatest songs are simple. There is enough room in this world for both Paganini's 5th Caprice and "Jesus of Suburbia." Both are beautiful examples of artistry.
shredfantom 2 years ago 30
It's just artistry is really hard to come by at any time. Technique has helped me alot for expression, but I find that some of my most beautiful solos are really "simple" at least they are not as fast and technique-heavy, but it always depends on how you translate your idea into music. So whenever I get stuck, I try to see what technique I need to brush up on ^^

GibsonGuitarist666 2 years ago 2
Yes, very nice statement. Only thing is that not everybody can play fast. All guitar players can play slow obviously, but not all of them have the talent to be fast. Even though speed isn't everything, it still shows something.
oldeskoole623 2 years ago 3
I disagree. It can be very difficult to play slow, especially when you're talking about a well developed vibrato. If you take a listen to someone who has a very intricate vibrato; for example - Marty Friedman, it can be very difficult to emulate. As for myself, one of my most intense techniques comes from the backwards whammy bar vibrato that I use in my "Guitar Tricks" video, used in conjunction with my Crybaby, in order to create a very slow, sad, and expressive singing vibrato.
shredfantom 2 years ago
Well yes that's very true when you mention vibrato, Marty Friedman is a great example. All I'm trying to say is that it does show some talent playing fast. But I do agree it isn't much if there isn't feeling in it. But those same techniques can also be pulled off in the middle of super speed riffs and solos.
oldeskoole623 2 years ago 2
Yes, of course; it obviously does take some skill to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" at 300 bpm. It's also very difficult to do 8 finger tapping when it's at its most intricate and melodic, and the same goes for fingerstyle technique.
shredfantom 2 years ago
i would have to agree with you some part. i feel that one should play slow and play fast equally. covering all ends off the spectrum. and yet sadly there are some people how cant play slow. because they never worked their way up, and when they try it sound horrible and dull. espically with a lack of vibarto.

Practicing technique is all about removing the physical obstacles between you and your music.

"Emotion is in the eye of the beholder. What is emotional to one is not to another. Holding or bending one note is not the only emotion that exists which I think most people forget. There are many emotions, you have to understand which ones the musicians you listen to are trying to express [such as] fear, anger, nervous, uneasy, love, passion, hatred, religion, sex etc..."
yea it's a nice subjective argument for pretending wanking your guitar has any worthwhile musical content.
largemoose 2 years ago
If you can't stand blindingly fast music(which you've made obvious by your comment here), why did you bother to watch this video in the first place?
It's pretty tough to convince people that their opinion is wrong and yours is right when you imply that anyone that disagrees with you(especially on a completely subjective issue) must be inferior to you in some way.
TomSwervo1 2 years ago
yeah fuck you man, the difference is that technical musicians have lost credibility in the world, fuckers like john mayer who was born in Connecticut and thinks he knows shit about the blues are dominant, the reemergence of technique in music is actually pretty fucking awesome
yeaaah500 2 years ago
Well, if you like John Mayer, go listen to him, and leave people who don't like him alone. There's a reason why there's more than one musical genre in the world--people aren't all exact copies of one another.
Call me idealistic, but I pray for the day when people see how stupid it is to incite holy wars over individual musical tastes and go listen to the music they like instead.

Rusty Cooley on "emotion vs. technique":
"Emotion is in the eye of the beholder. What is emotional to one is not to another. Holding or bending one note is not the only emotion that exists which I think most people forget. There are many emotions, you have to understand which ones the musicians you listen to are trying to express [such as] fear, anger, nervous, uneasy, love, passion, hatred, religion, sex etc..."
P.S. I honestly don't like Rusty's playing, but I think he has a valid point here.

Schneider10101 3 years ago
I agree. i'm so tried of the sweepy stuff and legato shit soloing right now. To much bands use it for soloing these days. It is too tasteless.
ironmaiden20 3 years ago
Yeah, the solos don't really have any emotion or any kind of feeling put in them. So they take a lot of talent and are very hard to do, I prefer Page or Clapton's solos because they have feeling! It's not just "Look at how fast I can play!"
Schneider10101 3 years ago
Enough of the emotion talk. I hear it all the time and it is getting annoying. Most of the time, emotional solos are just a bunch of stupid faces and bends. I'm talking about creative solo. I prefer Michael Amotts and Chris Polands solo because they are creative. Any average guitarist can play a so called emotional solo. Most of the time it is just " look at my screwed up face and bends!"
ironmaiden20 3 years ago 2
Yeah, but solos like the solo in Stairway tend to be the most famous solos.
Schneider10101 3 years ago
So have Eruption, Crazy Train, Floods , and Holy Wars? Your argument is flawed. BTW, solos like Stairway are overrated and annoying to hear nowadays.
ironmaiden20 3 years ago
And Eruption isn't overrated?
Schneider10101 3 years ago 2
Nope. I have never seen anyone get annoyed when Eruption was played.
ironmaiden20 3 years ago
Well take a look at my favourties and see the types of solos are in there! Maybe I just need a change!
I think whatever song it is is important though and sometimes, a slower solo that builds into a faster solo are solos that pwn! A bit of both is nice!
Schneider10101 3 years ago
Who gives a fuck about if it is slow or fast. If a solo is creatively nice than that is all that matters. For some reason you are hell bend on slow solos. Me, I don't care about tempo.
ironmaiden20 3 years ago 2
OK, the quality is all that matters. I'm not that good at writing slow solos. All of mine are really fast so maybe I'm getting tired of them. Who knows? I'm not a great guitarist though.

Yes, and that is THIS PARTICULAR SOLO. Other solos, you can see he does bend, and he adds a great amount of vibrato.
And if you listen to the actual song, the intro to the solo has bends and vibrato. I don't know why he didn't play it here.
If you want to hear the song, go to myspace, look up jag panzer under music in the search box, go to the music page (Not jag panzer's home page) and click the mechanized warfare album. Go to the Scarlet Letter
