Greg Harrison Solo

This guy was at a booth at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival, and he decided to whip out this solo...see if you can name the song at the end of the solo before he plays the riff.

nonsense shredding bullshit

[longlostlizard]

its more legit than the Dog shit you try to pass as "music". There's no need to be upset. You suck dick at bass and thats ok.

[scribbydibbydoo]

i'm not saying i'm better than him at all. but its most DEFINITELY not anything to brag about. who cares if he can shred? i want him to play one jazz song, which he probably can't do

[longlostlizard]

Dude, Jazz is remedial music. I played Jazz as like a 12 year old. that and blues are the first things you learn to play.

this is badass.

RE..SPECT..WALK!!

[donbc3]

gee wiz, another guitar solo... swell

[jasonii]

Greg is a great musician and guitar player, Many people think if they see someone shred, then thats all they can do which is usually the opposite. Everyone I've met at my school can play fast, It's not hard to do at all, the only ones who knock it are the ones who cannot do it at all because they never put the time into it. Playing fast is great for certain parts, or even building up a solo, have you ever listened to classical music? baroque? even jazz has some fast buildups!

@longlostlizard haha, believe me, greg is a fucking genius, there is no man more dedicated to his guitar than he. If anyone could play a smooth jazz solo, it would be him. and you have to look at this video from his prospective, he's doing a metal clinic surrounded by people just wanting to be impressed, and it is quite impressive.

P.S. he's a teacher at MI and knows theory out the butt, and MI is a great school if you are looking for a strong, in depth, education in theory

@longlostlizard

jazz is hardly remedial music. You might have been able to play some jazzy sounding stuff at 12, but I doubt it was anything truly great. Real jazz if far more complex than anything I've heard in metal in years. a lot if it may not be as technical as this. Jazz requires a much more in depth knowledge of music to do it right.

@longlostlizard

Sorry man, i love shred but your comment is ignorant. Shred requires excellent coordination and a pretty basic understanding of theory. Jazz is far more cerebral and in many cases can require shred-like chops as well as a titanic grasp of musical theory. Metal is my first love, and it's easier to put in the time to build your chops to shred levels than it is to be able to get a functional understanding of jazz and how to play it. Metal is my first love, but jazz is great.

oh please, I could play that solo in my sleep....(because id be dreaming) :P

[ferbicus]

@scribbydibbydoo Greg is actually a trained musician who can play anything. I have him as a private instructor and at the moment me and him are working on Blue Bossa and Autumn Leaves. He has helped me with numerous chord progressions and arppegiated sequences that have absolutely nothing to do with metal or shred. Oh, and I am not a shredder. It's just the style of music he likes to play, but he is also one hell of a guitar player, not just shredder.

@killbillyize

i agree with everything you said until you started talking about Greg's ability. Greg is most likely only using 2 effects and maybe a 3rd (Distortion, wah, and possibly a compressor) if he were playing during the 80's i'm sure his style would have been different and he would be far above average. You can tell he is Dimebag influenced. He is far from posing and his technique is monstrous. This is a video of him goofing around, not playing music.
