Bill Berends - Shred this...

I've thought about doing this Truth in Shredding track for about a month or so, but around 5AM August 30th (the last day of the contest) I thought, what the hell... If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done. I had to clean up a spot in my house, get my old Fuji Fine Pix to work as a web cam - download & install drivers - dig out a halogen lamp bright enough for the camera to see. In all I spent two hours setting up to do this, a few quick takes on guitar, then another hour editing & rendering video. So the truth it is... raw SG straight into a Fender Champ, no rehearsal, just go. And in B flat!! What a pain! lol.... a bit sloppy, but that's rock n' roll. Anyway, it was a challenge on many levels, I enjoyed it. I hope you do too. Watch more guitar videos here...

Very raw take, you've got some soul brother. Great chops and beefy tone too! Gotta love those Champs, they track with such a monsterous sound.

Great entry, check mine out as well if you get a moment!

Keep rawking my friend.

that shit is WAY too bad ass for shred OR fusion shred. dump the blues roots and play some shit that sounds REALLY over practiced to the point of rote parroting..THAT's some shred. a vasectomy or getting nutered is always a good quick option! LOL ...
