if a six year old can do that let me know until then keep your mouth shut cause guitar is not all about playing fast asshole who gives if he's not playing stupid arpeggio's or sweeps he's play's with such an awesome tone and his bends and just everything is really clean.

Cantrell plays great solos, to me virtuosos and metal shredders are great, then there are some that fkn suck at soloing, its fast, but al together its sloppy and u can tell more when they play live, cause they cant play their own shit, for me a good solo is one with good notes, nice feel and a decent amount of speed...a solo played at 1000 miles per hour does nothing for i walk away from it like ok next song, its a solo but its empty, it misses something

I was also at this show standing right next to the person shooting this video. Great show and thanks for sharing this video. Mike Inez and William came outside and talked to fans who were waiting in line before the show. Really down to earth and extremely cool guys.

@brendanleach Soul? Bullshit. Anyone can learn how to play with "soul". Herman Li has absolutely no skill. He is one of the sloppiest wankers I've ever heard. Learn some theory. It helps musicians achieve a desired effect such as "soulfulness" like Mr. Cantrell demonstrates in this video.

@bill14231393 sorry my grammer isnt correct, and i guess i shouldnt call him an idiot. Its kinda rude but just because something is easy to play on guitar does not mean its simple... theres complexities in the simpleness. Sure dragonforce's guitar player has tons of skill, but soul...? You decide.

[bill14231393]

@brendanleach I bet you feel pretty stupid. What about his "an idiot"? There's a difference between "your" and "you're". Who's the idiot now?

@crysisgamer81 Exactly. It's like BB king is 3 fucking notes and it has tons of soul. I love shredding like Dimebag and Schuldiner, but you gotta respect Cantrell.

@cobraopts7 people like you just don't hear the soul carried with cantrell's solos. same thing with slash: easy scales but with heart.
