Originally posted by guitar shmoe I think this is a different 'type' of 'music' altogether....guys from my generation (ie: me... ) have a hard time 'understanding this type of playing...it seems to come off more like a 'carnival act' than anything 'moving or creative'....spitting out notes and ghost notes like they mean nothing...12 notes per nanosecond...seems pointless to me I can truly appreciate someone that can make this 'style' work....this kid, although (arguably) 'good' for his age...isn't close to making all those notes 'work' yet...obviously, there are guys on this forum that have a GREAT appreciation for this style... I (admittedly) don't get it.. hey at least what you replied was how you felt and you did not say the kid sucked:thu: I can see where many older school players would not get off on shred i like both old and new school stuff and all things guitar!

Originally posted by guitar shmoe To play with alot of "now feeling" turn up the PRESENCE to '10' on your amp!!!! but mine goes to 11 and still i dont have that NOW FEELING?

Originally posted by STEEL KAGE My hats off to the kid!! He took the time to learn a piece( and a pretty challenging one at that) all the way through and while he has a ways to go, youve got give him props for doing a decent job Kage a very MATURE,sensible reply and i totally agree with this!

Originally posted by Snakebite20 This dude is great! Now he needs to slow down and focus on: 1) Bends 2) Phrasing 3) Vibrato 4) Subtleties And then get back to his chops! +1 he already has a very good amount of technical skill so IF he does what you said he would be a excellent player and FWIW i would have to hear his song writting too I dont care if a guy can play technically as good as shawn lane or micheal angelo and have the feel and taste of gilmore,may,gary moore and those types IF you cant writer a great tune you are screwed! shred to me is the best of both, great writting and technical ability with soul. all the greats have this:)

Originally posted by Diablo II personally i prefer three good notes to that yeah gimme dave gilmore anyday but all i was trying to say is that this kid has some pretty damn good chops. I like brian may,gilmore,clapton,etc but also can appreciate a 15 that can fly like that:)

Originally posted by Flinty Exactly. {censored}, its not like the kid is claiming to be the best guitar player ever. He just posted a video on a website showing something he learned and is probably proud of it. And I call bull{censored} to the amount of people here that say "I could do that no problem. That is easy".

man most of you are a bunch of assholes here!: what a POS forum! WTF? are you that insucure are what? the kid is good for a 15 year old

whats up with the lennon bashing?

Originally posted by buddastrat I'm still trying to dl that Doug Aldrich video. I'll check this out later. But I don't like Angelo's playing or technique, so I probably won't like this. But still if he can play that style well, good for him. Give me Gilbert or Malmsteen or Aldrich type playing for shred. me too but for a 15 year old my god how did he get that amount of technique:confused:

I quit!!! he is only 15 years old? WTF? great chops for a 15 yours old!
