oh retract my previous comment sorry but I was bashing the wrong person I am truly sorry flighofthespeedking that whole thing was intended forguitars357

[noslacklover]

oh yea flightofthespeedking I'm sure you'be been so recorded and done so many tours yourself that you can sit and judge anybody else yea yea yea I can see a fat arse wanna be sitting in an over sized chair trying to judge people who can do because he can't way to go now go get another box of ho hos and a six pack of mountain dew to wash them down with you probably need them both

@FlightoftheSpeedKing I can clearly see that he is overflowing with emotions, but I wasn't questioning his feeling, I was questioning his ability to play the guitar, and clearly he isn't very good

@guitars357 It's so disheartening to hear reactions like this to truly original and talented guitar playing. Yeah it's kind of a sloppy performance and there was obviously tuning issues, but it hardly takes away. Zack has an amazing feel, and as evidenced in the video his licks are emotional and outside the box. Truly mediocre run-of-the-mill "guitarists" get praised all the time on YT, then a true talent is deemed "horrible". It's official - people have forgotten what good guitar playing is.

what!? this guy is horrible! I will admit some parts are good, but most of it is just noise and jumping around. parts like 2:12 - 2:37 and 3:06 - 3:17 make me want to slap this guy and tell him to take some guitar lessons...

@guitars357 this my dear is one hell of an amazing person with an absolutely amazing talent and tons of soul that actualy feels what he plays and shares it with the world in the most amazing way you might ever see so enjoy

[guitars357]

wtf is this?

[noslacklover]

Ok so now here we are 3 years later and I have now taken the time to watch the other contestants videos and there's seriously no doubt about it now Zack should have won there's no reason why he came in second and that's not a biased thought I have watched all the other videos open mindedly

Ive played with Zack several times and he is an amazing player. How he didn't win this contest is beyond me. The winner had a good job as well, but while almost everyone else sounded like an SRV replica (not in a good way), Zack played the blues with immense originality, and a beautiful tone reminiscent of early Jeff Beck stuff. All we seem to get is standard pentatonic licks where kids are just running scales. Zack however was always outside the box and filled with emotion.
