TRANCE GUITAR

[SchranzBrandy]

nice

[UNGETABLE7]

Sub Zero Wins!

[1shadowfrost]

Its just a delay with a phaser.

[savagecabage]

looks like johnny depp

[sakujikyme86]

Muy buena, me gusta mucho.

[glistninganalbeads]

Thats the worst 'trance' drum beat track i think iv ever heard, that guitar played with some deep synthasizers and psycadelic high end would be recording material.

[TheDarkNomad]

I don't like trance, but seriously now ... not even I can say anything bad about this video.

He did a GREAT job putting it all together... dude, respect !

[osiemnastolatek18]

Cool guitar ^^

and nice play :)

[Kxpuc]

that back beat ruins things for the first 50 seconds or so

[danthemanallen89]

cool

[TheBootybumbum]

Love this style. Took me two weeks to get it down pretty good. Then again I practice like 5 hours a day.

[froterons]

Damn... that puts my try at techno to shame xD

[MrDmack2112]

good fuckin shit

[SadisticThrasher]

dude cool stuff for on the guitar lol

i never seen this kind of music on the guitar, i maby a metalhead but i also play guitar and this is some cool shit bro

[yves159]

[Madamnesia]

[Arkain9]

[Maxim18041981]

КРУТО!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rohanclassic]

Hats off dude... It sounds so awesome!!!! FUCK THE HATERS...!!! you've got one more fan now.. :-)

[MrAstralKEKS]

Drumz are so similar to Triton Extreme)

[algiasphere]

I would probably like it more without the backing. Just my opinion though, still, pretty good, and interesting.

[Muunnos]

I love trance and I love guitar, so why not combine them together?

[immanrobinson]

56 dislikes...??? boy they sure have no clue of enjoying music... lol (on them :)

[GRRemlin83]

As a huge fan of trance and guitar, I can say: THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[soumilidon]

WHOOAAA :O

LIEK!

[DionMarinos]

anyone who says this is a disgrace to guitar is stuck in the past . this is the future of guitar right here!

[TheRealJimmyBruiser]

Ewan Dobson's Time 2, legit manual trance on a classical guitar except with a tape echo effect

this is awesome too

I don't even like trance

haters are mad cos its easier to be mad than to try and see the others' pov

[StringsCrusader]

the haters can just fuck off. the guitar is a musical instrument. which by nature... means you use it to create music. that means it's not limited to one specific genre. so why not use a guitar to create a trance song?

[hammerphilosopher]

You can't say it's a disgrace to the insrument, it's just a clever use of it :) Good job mate

[darrensurrey]

This is brilliant. I'm a big trance fan (AVB, Mike Foyle, Sean Tyas) but also love stuff like Megadeth, Slipknot and Lacuna Coil.

[fullmoonguitar2]

SHAN I ENJOYED IMMENSELY VISITING YOUR SITE..WOW YOUR VIRTUOSITY IS AMAZING , THE SIMPSONS AND MOVIE THEMS AND TO MAKE ALL THE TABS FOR FREE ETC..AMAZING SKILL,AND YOU LOOK SO YOUNG. YOU REALLY DID ALOT WITH THE TOP SPOT! THAT YOU PLAY WITH ALL YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT HAND, SHOW ALOT OF FEEL,, TRULY LUCKY SO KNOWLEDGABLE REGARDING VOICINGS AND TECHNIQUE. FORGIVE ANY DISRESPECT YOUR FORMER NEIGHBOR TRANCE GUTARIST INGIEBINGIE GOOD LUCK..

[fullmoonguitar2]

SHAN IS A NICE LITTLE BOY WITH HIS DELAY , AND SPEED JERKING SUBTLE WRISTS..BUT IF YOU WANT REAL SYNTH PSY TRANCE FROM A MAN PLAYING 37 YEARS CLICK ON FULLMOON..IF YOU WANT SOME FREE JAZZ SOLO CLICK THERE TO ACID PLANET..ALSO AMBIANT, LIVE FULL MOON PARTY.

[gathanatoa]

sounds great, but if you wanna go tho the next step, i suggest to get roger lynn adrenaline pedal, and the midi direction panel,include in the kit, thats the future.

Right now, im working on improve mi technique, and then lest create something.

But ,still you are great.

[darksgrp]

niice..tapping part on the end is great

[quintin318]

i love using that echo effect, picked it up from buckethead... not many other people use it, probably because it's so difficult to intergrade into many scales.... the only other person i know uses the delay like that is you and Marty Friedman :D so yeah kudos!!!!

[loslo]

It's easy to re-create what other people do...and it's safe.....but doing something new and different takes guts..especially on the guitar....I have never seen anyone do techno on guitar...very cool and well executed..

Bravo !

[skexee]

I have a techno guitar song. Nice vid. Nice effects.

[TheViolentPixie]

bIG dISLIKE bUTTON THATS WHAT I WANT

[Heineken1712]

well, nice idea. i guess it's easier to make these effects with a keyboard. and it looks kinda weird when somebody plays guitar to trance xD

[Trinivalts]

lol, know I donno in what playlist to put this, cuz I have a bunch of guitar related ones and an electronic related one.

[ImOutsideTheBox]

i think its cool, what scale(s) is this based on?

[xTheEmoOctopusx]

This is pretty cool, and to the asshole saying "this isn't a rave faggot" look up what the hell trance is first!

Amazing otherwise!

[lBaseJumpersl]

291 people are flamers

[shreyasns2003]

whoa!...amazing dude!....brilliant piece...hw did u produce da drums? and wt effcts r u usin on da guitar?..

[FreidrichIII]

Interesting stuff, try making the guitar sound a bit more distinct

[fullmoonguitar2]

for the asshole that works at youtube, what makes this little jerk off so sanracent,,with this etude shit...why not move him to 3rd page and then to nowhere..hugh bitch. how many hours you stroke the same bullshit . on your bed, jerk off..

[kevoramma]

freakin' wicked sweet.

[oasisism]

LOVEEEEEEEEEEE IT

[moocowyz125]

There's lots of different ways to play an instrument.

[dawgghogg111]

that`s not how a guitar is played you beligerant imbecile

[DryerBoy]

I find it strange to see so many negative comments. Of course, opinions are like assholes - everybody has one, but hardly is there room here for utter hate. Open your minds to something new. Music is just that: self expression through sound. If this song doesn't resonate well with you, you are welcome to look elsewhere, but getting all worked up about it is not only childish, but disturbingly ignorant.

[fuzter2007]

a guitar makin noises on a trance song.. that`s a surprise for me....

[RebornGuitarLearner]

Don't listen to these schmucks. This is really cool. Music should always be evolving. I say you're on to something!

[ddtbeats]

It's really amazing how so many people are ignorant to what music is. Music is always changing, moving forward, backward, sidways, etc.. Who are you to call a musician horrible, or make a judgement of character just because of a style of music that they're playing? If you know Shonsta like I know him (and I actually know him), or have ventured into any of his other videos, you'll know that he is VERY talented, and sticks to no particular style, and is open to play just about anything.

[GordonIngram]

It doesn't matter what instrument you play. It only matters how you do it.

I've seen classical violins and cellos shred metal like there's no tomorrow.

(No wonder they call themselves "Judgement Day")

So why not take another step and try something new? That's what even got us forward in the first place.

And I just generally like the song. ^^

[Seagerash]

awesome work man check out my guitar channel for something different if you get a chance

[purpledeer19]

this is awesome!!!

[DionMarinos]

vry nice string hopping tech :D

[edn123]

i have to say, though this is nothing like my music (I actually hate house,trance,techno, whatever this kind...) it sounds pretty cool :D

one like for an amazing guitar player ^^

[myfretsareonfire]

Good on you mate, keep up the music!

[MrNoucfeanor]

that was sweet! Thumbs up!

[aleste666]

Wow!! Great !!

Seeing the comments here i can only think about one thing: how can exist so many infantile, intolerant idiots. You don't like something, please argue with reasonable points. If you dont like the music genre, go back to yours, with your friends. When you accept the coexistence of different tastes and opinions ( a.k.a. grow up ) come back here and we can make a good discussion.

[greatestXhits]

raping that poor guitar

[samgrahaminc]

Well, never thought I'd see that. You get a thumbs up for the creativity.

[bluespower94]

you should never play a guitar again. That is the worst, most queer thing iver ever seen. Dont turn the guitar over to the rave faggots asshole.

[parsleysprigs]

why's everyone hate because someone trying to take techno off of the turn tables and make it an actual performance. Looking for people who want to start a techno band on instruments. why can't you have a rave on a guitar your not going to get far in life if you hate things just because there's a label on it.

[Nezer90]

@parsleysprigs I personally hate it because it's nonsense music :) like pop music, and any other stupid genre where creativity, talent and feeling aren't used.

Techno Pop Rap etc.. etc.. are not genres for people who really STUDY music.

[parsleysprigs]

@Nezer90 The human mind is a genetic organism which makes it desire symmetry, because techno is usually looped and premixed by a dj it makes it easy to listen to. I don't like repetitive garbage and so I want to make progressive techno that is produced on an actual instruments, but basically I like techno because it's mathematically symmetrical and I like 16th notes.

[Nezer90]

@parsleysprigs still your music progressive techno has nothing to do with music in my opinion.. The name progressive it doesn't make your music creative or intelligent.. Fuck you and your symmetry and your 16 notes, I hate them ;)

[parsleysprigs]

@Nezer9 Your taking music way too serious, it's for enjoyment. I'd like to hear some of you wrote if music take no intelligence or creativity. You have a real nice I don't like it just because attitude.

[Nezer90]

@parsleysprigs You say it's enjoyment, many ppl that takes it seriously and study it and lives of it. I'm still studying music( since I was 12years old ( I'm 20 now )), I'm wroting kinda tech progressive death sounding like necrophagist-blotted science I take much inspiration by the faceless, ron Jarzombek ( spastic ink above all ) Cynic, Jeff Loomis. I play in a black metal band in my profile you can check the link btw we have only one old song recorded so far.

BTW I'm not a metalhead.

[Eyun]

wow.. where are all these stupid haters coming from? fck em. you are awesome. where can i download this :)

[T1gRe]

pure awesomeness!

[element1988]

it was ok but using lead guitar to backup trance beats just seems wrong to me... and ive seen much better uses of guitar in trance. but it was ok.

[firdaus125]

Reminds me of Buckethead

[ohsteeev]

Well I like it. I could say the trance base is formulaic, but I really like the guitar work. Keep it up!

[darkisoangel]

I really like this, it´s really cool, and I enjoy trance music as much as I enjoy rock music and it´s variants...

But...I don´t like this way to play the guitar, in the end, the player is playing the effects, not the guitar, in some sort of way.

I mean, it´s another way to play trance music but...not playing guitar.

Anyway, not hating, just trying to calm down the waters and make people see that this is not bad, it´s just another thing.

[jrfed1]

this has got absolutely nothing on Tom Morello

[xenus13]

sounds awesome keep up this crazy guitar playing =D

[stuartmlambert]

Yo dude, well, I like it... it's experimental and different so ignore the -ve comments! Check out my 'guitrance' stuff mate, more traditional trance, but with guitar solo at the climax... a bit of a side project of mine!

[DarthRive3]

You rock man. Very creative, to HELL with all these people and their hardcore views of what being a guitarist is

[PersianButtons]

I love this. I'm a composer and I love this. To anyone who is dissing it because its its not "rocking out," I feel sorry for you. You are depriving yourself of what a guitar can do. Electronic compositions are some of the most complicated out there and people like Squarepusher use real instruments to create new electronic sounds. I agree with he comment that Jimi would like this. This performance kind of reminds me of what Emilie Autumn does with electronic violin.

[HendrixGuitarGod108]

the effects are cool and all, but i personally feel (and go ahead and dislike me or get angry if you want) but i think this is a DISGRACE to the instrument, that is, the guitar

[JohnThomson92]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 Shut up you dick lol, U think the classical players wouldn't think that Hendrix was a disgrace to the guitar? Stop being a narrow minded assjockey. Fuckin hell I could use a violin bow on a guitar n get some cool as fuck sounds but just coz it isnt that heavy rock "burn in hell die die die" Super axeman shit its not good? Grow up you tosser, Hendrix would probably dig this.

[shonsta]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 This is hilarious. I love how so much energy is wasted arguing with strangers!  Why not put that energy into creating something?

[Aivopiirakka]

@shonsta What's wrong with arguing with strangers? You just need to argue it over. If both parties want to end up with a compromise, it is educational for both parties. A new friendship is also possible when arguing with strangers, so can you explain me, in which way arguing with strangers is a bad way to spend energy?

[raullatem]

@shonsta dude dont worry, lots of ppl think this awesome, he's jealous

[TheKingdomofErnor]

@shonsta So much energy? You mean a sentence or two? Lol, nice try at a witty retort.

Good video though, I definitely disagree with HendrixGuitarGod108.

[wygas]

@shonsta The whole fun of playing guitar is to explore and do some crazy stuff. That's exactly what you're doing. Great job!!!

[Jelchic]

@shonsta this is absolutely great! and it's coming from a metalcore and trance fan... i enjoyed listening to this!

[firesole1988]

@Hendrix you just showed everyone how closed minded you are brother... sorry... to call any music a disgrace to an instrument is a disgrace in itself... who are you to judge anothers expression?

[BelieveIntheBucket]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 lol

[sdajafol]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 So wait, trying new things and experimenting/discovering different possibilities of the instrument is a disgrace?

[Aivopiirakka]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 Can you explain me, why finding a new and creative way to play an instrument is a DISGRACE for it? Do you think that everything should just stop developing? It's like someone would have said: "An electric guitar, making new sounds and playing styles possible, is a disgrace for acoustic guitar."

[WolfsGimpyWrath]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 sorry dude but your just another close minded fool get out of here

[SoulReaper66623]

@HendrixGuitarGod108

heey look another rock/metal fanatic

[brianrawks123]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 i understand wat your saying but heres the thing... ppl have different tastes in music the guitar can be used in any way shape or form cause they are nt only used for rock, blues ect. he did a really nice job in composing this vid... there is no dicrace to the guitar unless they completely suck at it... thts all i can say... btw nice job @shonsta

[lgbtTV4]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 wrote " i think this is a DISGRACE to the instrument, that is, the guitar"

According to what standard? Is there a rule that states the accepted uses of a guitar? A guitar is a MUSICAL instrument and shonsta was playing MUSIC. Before rock and its derivatives, the guitar was used for classical, folk, country, bluegrass, jazz, and blues. Would it have been valid for those musicians to call rock guitar a disgrace in the 50's?

[lgbtTV4]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 BTW, I know some people who thought Hendrix's famous rendition of The Star Spangled Banner is a disgrace. Are they right? What makes you a better authority on "disgrace" than them???

[MogensenCantShuffle]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 i think that you are right.. there are so many things you can do with the guitar, and this is the thing they come up with? ..

[bajsmongo66]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 Disgrace to the instrument? who the fuck cares? its the person that plays the song , not the instrument , and i think this is awesome , more entertaining than a dude playing some jimi hendrix cover or whatnot.

[Nannirk]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 The only disgrace here is that some people are too narrow-minded to accept that not everyone likes the same things. That it doesn't mean it sucks just because YOU don't like it.

[oSUBZ3ROo]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 The day you could do this. Then talk shit fag boy.

[spraypaintdavid]

@HendrixGuitarGod108 Fifty years ago, purists said the same thing of electric guitar, with overdrive and whatnot. You can't blame things for evolving, else we'd be stuck in the past.

[thojmoto69]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

[thec4nt1]

gay

[klonowsky1986]

Guitar + trance goes together!

[ShivaWeed]

who cares how he looks like? you are here for the music

[Moustachio101]

I don't see what everyone is moaning about.

It's good guitar playing, it all works well together, it's all in key... There's nothing majorly wrong with it (Maybe the guitar could be a tiny bit louder?)

Either way, Nice work dude.

Keep it up!

[kevins3030]

Great music. Don't listen to these idiots talking trash. Just a bunch of haters. I love trance, and its really to see someone playing it live on an electric guitar. Keep it up.

[DragonFlopp]

I think it's an interesting take on guitar playing. I'm a guitar player and I love listening to trance or techno music every no and then and I think this song sounded pretty cool. Nice work.

[Radiohead420DJ]

...wtf is this?

[OrionsFangs]

As Shonta says , this is not metal , blues , power song ... this is definitly Trance Guitar song

[dellm1530]

FAGGOT!

[Datenshi9512]

this sounds a lot like bucketheads big sur moon

[dannyhood66]

@Datenshi9512 A lot of the songs on this page sound like big sur moon, in some way or another..!aH

[supermanofmen]

song is good, but the guy looks like he trys too hard to be cool

[BlckLblBUCKETSTRINGS]

baddass



[thojmoto69]

I went to the link in your description but it wasn't there.

Love the way how you play btw =)

[fckths]

Pretty cool for sure.

[catapei]

[speaker3600]

[streetballer4rel]

@speaker3600 yezzir

[aswizzle]

songs is gay and that fag is gay

wtf is up with the drums in the bag ground

this isnt a rave faggot

[lerlo]

@aswizzle Jees dude whats your problem?

[prototypep4]

@lerlo i believe he is upset because he has no life outside of posting shit comments on videos to "try" to be cool yet all he does is make people think of him as a fag. also he needs to learn how to spell.

[FLCLRVDFan]

@aswizzle

Listen troll, do you even know what the fuck trance is?

[shonsta]

@aswizzle

Nope, not gay. Didn't mean to get your hopes up!

[JameyScott]

@shonsta I love your music, and I love how you have such a broad range of styles. I also love how your burn the ass holes/ trolls. Thank you for making my day in more than one way!

[lgbtTV4]

@shonsta As a gay man, I love your witty reply. And the guitar work is also fantastic.

[verzeda]

@aswizzle

Actually, it is.

[djiannolsen]

@aswizzle,hey dude,upload an video and play like him. u really suck fucking hater. fuck off all haters. good song mate really good,is far away to be the best but sounds ok. 5 stars ;)

[TheStonedAsian1]

@aswizzle dude he's ripped

so fuck up

[marcarl]

@aswizzle Who can be homophobic with a name like ass-whistle?

[Bucketheadisgod94]

@aswizzle This isnt meant to be rave, idiot. By the way, Sean Gordon happens to be better than you at playing guitar, so shut the fuck up.

[lgbtTV4]

@aswizzle Hmmmm ... I wonder why shonsta's sexuality interest you so much... I bet your panties are around your ankles as you watch this. Just make sure to wipe your keyboard and hands afterward.

[pedropedroSS]

cool song, but what the fuck is this hair?

[Stinkygengar]

if you dont like the music or think hes gay why are you sitting in your room watching it stupid asses

awesome video!

[huntrayisabeast16]

i hate all the fagg comments on here. just cause he's got longer hair then msot doesnt mean he's gay.

ignorant fucks :D

[coffeex32]

thats awesome man. keep up the good work man

[SneekeeMonkee]

Song is ok, but the fact he has an 'impossible guitar' video kind of makes him hard to take serious as a musician.

[shonsta]

@SneekeeMonkee

Oh you sneekee monkey you! Good thing I don't take music seriously :)

[Blynx]

@shonsta "I don't take music seriously" and yet you have all this epic equipment.

[DystruktoBoi1]

@Blynx I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm dude lol

[SwaggerPwnz]

@shonsta you don't take music seriously....?

[Audacity661]

@shonsta

Allow me to publicly donate my preeminent advocacy towards all of the comment generous, inferior humans of this beautiful planet(:

You ignorant nay sayers are the left over lard mother nature creates as food for other animals. You have no other purpose than to be poop. Now I'd hate to get shitty with you, but I'm just speaking to you on your level.

8=====D <--- Suck it haters

[mason9236]

@SneekeeMonkee ]

The fact the majority of your uploads are from LMFAO, makes it hard to take you serious as a human being.

[DionMarinos]

@SneekeeMonkee what do you mean impossible?? its fully playable all you need is a delay pedal

[PulsarFusion]

This is real good.

[Vaultzero]

its Christina ricci as a guy.

[acer993]
