Gifthorse Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I would think this guy is on the list with Gambale, Holdsworth, and many more. This guy has some of most insane electric technique and he remains very musical with all of his phrasing even tho it is light speed. I can't believe how many licks the guy has. It is like he never repeats stuff and he seems to never make any mistakes. Anyways, who can beat this guy besides the obvious contenders Gambale, Holdsworth? http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Now THAT SOB shreds in a rather jaw dropping fashion. Sheesh. Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILLO Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 yes, I went to iTunes and got one of his fusion-y tunes about 2 months ago after seeing him on one of those youube vids. Insane rocker, he definitely knows the guitar well, LOL! He remains groovy throughout his solos, great stuff. The thing is since he knows the instrument and music so well, he can definitely play all sorts of crazy licks,be it jazzy, rockish, etc...

Gifthorse Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 He is like a shredder that can sound musical. I first saw him in a clip I saw, maybe someone here posted, that had a bunch of shredders. Buckedhead was one of them, Ron Thal. Anyways the guy seems to be able to play just about any style, and go sick in the process. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 wow, he's great, and certaintly has better tone than a lot of other guys. i don't know what it is, but lately I've been bored of shredders, maybe it's because I can't remember anything they've played. Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=810593 http://www.myspace.com/dandelavega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I can't either unless I listen to it tons but it still amazes me when someone can cram that much music in so quick.. I mean alot of shredders play fast patterns. This guy can shred musical phrases. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolead Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 He reminds me of Michael Schenker or John Petrucci in some ways. Most guitarists never give any credit to the metal world for tone or style, but this guys, those guys, and many other successful shredders are perfectly capable of holding their own with bluesier players. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gifthorse Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 well, his style is by no means bluesy by most people's standards but I think it is interesting to hear.

skipclone 1 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The guys at GP have been mentioning him for quite a while but I just heard his music from you tube recently-amazing and amazingly versatile. My brother is in a major phase of listening to him at the moment. I had put him in a club with guys like Jan Cyrka-outstanding players who for whatever reason, I hadn`t heard a single note of their playing.

John Petrucci is great but this guy is ridiculous.. I don't think either of them are bluesy. They just have expression and soul that most people ignore. You just have to get beyond the technical crap and dig though their softer recordings. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think it says something too that so far we actually have a rare unanimous(!) verdict that this guy's really good. He's a unifying force on this forum. So far.

You just have to get beyond the technical crap and dig though their softer recordings. I think of John Petrucci as being more of an Yngwie Steve Vai-type player. Primarily rock licks being played, not to say he isn't good. This guy technically is far past that from what I can see. His fast playing is very much fast musical phrasing. Most rock shred players play simple patterns very fast in 1 key. This guy has no limits and doesn't repeat stuff. It is really insane if you watch all of those videos how limitless he really is. His style is extremely complex. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
