Shane Gibson playing "DucksinaponD" @ NAMM 2009

[shaunhammer30]

So happy to have met shane in des moines, iowa. One of music's true talents and he's is a true class act. Thanks for getting my wife and I backstage on such short notice. Great video and I'm happy as hell you are playing for one my favorite bands.

[bobangel87]

Your right I just happened to watch this video and did tons of research to make a comment???! I'm a musician. I'm not name droppin shredders, bite your tongue when u say that, via an petrucci r not shredders! Name droppin cacophony???? Ha that's just funny , most people don't even know what that is! I'll agree bout the music business and maybe the korn statement was a little strong but I stand by my original opinion. I respect shredding and lived for it when I was younger but it gets redundant

[EvisceratorBand]

Shred has feel to it too. Not everything has to be overly groove oriented, watered down, or retardified to the point where the 12 year old down the street can play it to have "feel". Just because you can't comprehend or mentally keep up with the technical music doesn't mean it isn't music.

[bobangel87]

@EvisceratorBand I can play arpeggios and "shred". First few years of playing thats all I did. I played scales with a metronome for hours a day and technically it made me a better player but its boring as fuck and Im sorry but i hear a tons of that in Shane Gibson.

[KatsuGuitar]

@bobangel87 Lets see some videos of your "shredding" skills bro. Cause i bet they are boring. I'll agree with you. Scales are simply a means to an end. If you want to play them fine. if you dont, fine. Many great players who blow this guy away have mastered all sorts of scales and theory. I bet they find plenty of passion and soul in their playing and do not regret the work they have put into it. That is why you and I are sitting on a computer and other people are out there living the dream.

[panteraman44]

i have the same guitar! , this guys awesome btw \m/

[MaestroMike673]

nice hair guy.

[atjbhs2009]

Like a cross between Bach, MacAlpine, and awesomeness!!!

[plateofshrimp]

Sebastian Bach?

[atjbhs2009]

The classical composer Johan Sebastian Bach. Not the ex-frontman of Skid Row Sebastian Bach.

[ExtremeBogom]

This guy understands rythym.

You gotta get his instructional, it's unbelievable.

[EvisceratorBand]

He's way too good for korn. But hey, it's easy money, so good on him.

[berserker213]

easy money = more guitars XD

[bobangel87]

@EvisceratorBand His Technique is better than Korn's but his song writing ability is no where near as good. The shit he's playing we've all heard a thousand times before. Shredding scales isnt impressive after 2 minutes of listening to it.

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87 Because Korn has songwriting ability.

[bobangel87]

@EvisceratorBand , yeah Korn can write songs, thats why they've sold MIllions of albums. I think their new music leaves a lot to be desired but the old stuff has some really cool rhythms. I use to be a huge Jason Becker (cacophony) and loved that style of music but I much more drawn to Vai's music and Dream Theater nowadays.

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87 Oh there we go again with the "They've sold a lot, so they must be good," bullshit. I guess Justin Beiber is hella talented too, right?

[bobangel87]

@EvisceratorBand Korn wrote their music, Bieber didnt, thats a big difference. IF your a metal player and deny that Korn has some good rhythms then your lieing.

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87  Now THAT'S closed minded thinking. How do you know that any real metal musician can't just pull that kind of stuff out of their ass as a joke?

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87 Nope, bullshit. I know playing in the style of Korn is boring. I've been in a band like that before. I quit because it wasn't me. Playing and/or listening to boring and groove oriented stuff all the time gets old REAL quick. Now I know for a fact that you're just name dropping shredders for the sake of winning an argument. There is no difference between Bieber and Korn. They both got huge by being business oriented.

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87  90% business knowledge and 10% musical ability: that's what it takes to be successful in the "music" industry. That's always the case. Record sales don't make you a musician. And you can't deny that Ducksinapond is a beautiful instrumental.

[KatsuGuitar]

@bobangel87 I'm a metal player and i think korn sounds like shit. I know many players and it is pretty unanimous that korn sucks haha. They even screwed up covers of metallica.

[EvisceratorBand]

@bobangel87 And I guess that's exactly why Shane got the job in the first place.

[bobangel87]

@EvisceratorBand , im a musician and he's a great player but he lacks feel in my opinion.

[Hivereezzy]

Honestly this guy does not belong in KoRn...he just doesnt fit in with them...as for his guitar playing its not bad but its not great i could play this stuff easily not to brag but its the truth

[bingefeller]

That's nice coming from a guy who's hobbies include "MUSIC,GIRLS,FOOD!"

[Hivereezzy]

hahaha wow dude...honestly

if i challenged this guy...it would be too easy

for me..and whats wrong with my hobbies

douche bag...theres nothing wrong

with MUSIC GIRLS AND FOOD...so what i love to listen to music and play it..and I get all the girls dont be jealous cuz youre probably a fat fuck who doesnt have any talent what so ever

[TimJMorrison]

@Hivereezzy

If you challenged Shane to what?

Lol.

[ratmachine87]

before joining korn .... in what band does shane belongs? can anyone tell me pls.

[Niko9876]

Anyone know where I could get a tab for this? I'd like to cover it.

[BurnDotOfficial]

Hi there. I have some videos of Shanes' plays. Check my youtube account.

[drawnacrol]

Shane is an incredible player

[BlooBeluga]

man, his rhythm tone is awesome.

[kyle122388]

sooooo gooooood

[Mujabar]

Good stuff, reminds me a little of Dave Martone...

[davidrobinsonmagic]

Is he playing the Legacy 2 with no effects?

[PerpetualxBurn]

At the Carvin clinic he did a couple years ago he basically just plugged into the store's amp without changing the settings and played. He also said he doesn't care much about tone. He sounds awesome through anything/

[mongobongoman]

honestly once youve used a particular mic and effects and pro tools it wont matter what eq youve got

[MagnusLindblOOm]

Great playing, sounds good

[kyle122388]

why is he wearing under armor

[kalista777]

DucksinamothafuckinponD baby!!

[scaasi]

Playing of Schwarzenegger like epic proportions...

[greatestguitarn00b]

amazing!

[bANDynamiTe]

yeah shane's the best \m/

[kalista777]

HELL YES!!

[travmasterflashz]

Hell yeah man, keep up the good work. I'm glad to see someone is still keeping guitar interesting! :)

[myguitarkicksass]

Groovy...Well played Sensei

[MisterNicholasGuitar]
