Squ Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Saw this guy on craigslist, I thought you might get a laugh. Or at least start some arguments. Enjoy! http://myspace.com/caseyshreds Red Red Rockit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPlayerFL Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I thought it was a welcome respite from the mindless, chops-less Blues boredom one usually encounters today. :grin: The guy definitely has some potential there. Hopefully he'll tame his chops and discover Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, and Allan Holdsworth. Speed does get old after a while...but only after a while. I did like some of YRO (a Racer-X tune)...stands for Yngwie Rip Off. Sounded a bit like Paul Gilbert too in parts. Most of the tracks, though, sounded like Michael Angelo drinking too many lattes.

Speed does get old after a while...but only after a while. Not my cup o tea. But I agree, I think the dude could do well, once he gets his s*** together.

Rampdog Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 With the speed of his picking I bet him mom never had to yell at him to "Get out of that bathroom! You'll go blind!"...

picker Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You gotta give the guy props for practicing. You don't get like that by accident. It's not too late for him to grow some taste. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Iverson Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't have the software to listen to these posts! In general.. well, I think it's possible to play multinote things in a beautifully musical way. If you don't think so, listen to people like John Coltrane or lots of classical musicians... and bluegrass musicians, and Indian musicians... and Allan Holdsworth. Actually, all of the great musicians above are also able to play slow things beautifully, too... they're not people with overdeveloped fingers and underdeveloped everything else!

Jedro Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Gives Yngwie a bad name. You know, it is possible to "shred" and retain some essence of musicality. I think it comes down to style. This guy, everything is pounding me over the head, just tasteless. Everybody knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact. - Homer Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Nah... didn't rock my nuts hard. The acoustic shred was okay though. Now if you want an album of similar leanings (but better quality), I highly recommend this band: http://myspace.com/sleepterror The guitarist did the group's first album himself with a drum machine, bass guitar, some keyboards, and of course the guitars. Simply amazing, and a lot of the tunes have some character to them, which explains his fanbase being everyone from guitar freaks to er... hot chicks. He's currently looking for a second guitarist, and a bassist to tour with. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Taz! that was horriable man!! are we listening to the same track! are you talking about the track that comes on when that link comes up?? http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hmmn, well I listened to the original guy posted about. I wasn't very impressed. He uses way too much distortion on his metal stuff. You know, that masks technique. I listened to his acoustic thing. It has a very cliche lick pattern that is apparent in many neo classical 80's type players. Technique is bigger than just playing fast patterns in time. Things like, 'how you play it' come into play. Like you should be able to attack the string in many different ways to get different tone for different notes. All the legends can do that. Uniform pick attack is the easy part really. i am just a fan of thumps, clicks clacks and cool vibrato. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Eh... unfortunately, the quality doesn't sound as good as the CD I bought from the guy. But honestly... if you're looking for a modern shred metal album that's highly original, and can possibly compare with Mattias IA Eklundh, I highly recommend it. Sleep Terror's style does lean closer to more modern death/black/technical metal/fusion/neoclassical/techno, and I suppose that will keep some people away from it. But really, if you dig deeper into it... well, in one tune anyway, he musically quotes some classic rock tunes like "My Sharona", done in bits.

Dr. Ellwood Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 FUN AS BLOODY F**K! .... yeah, I hum this stuff all the time, it's the kind of stuff that just grabs ya...modern death/black/technical metal/fusion/neoclassical/techno, that's where it's all at! http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
