Hello,

 

Now analyze the central part of the video where I use sweep picking and tapping technique. :eek:

Eh... Still the same blah rhythm. The beginning had somewhat more feel - still tacky and over decorated but at least you had time to savor those three dozen or so moments. Then the lesson section - totally vulgar. It's like cutting to a fap session from some hurried kissing. You shred guys make ONE point. You can do those things real fast. Unfortunately not one of you knows what the music is.

Like I said you operate the guitar well. What's your point?

meh. you're just tapping the third on a barre chord arpeggio. doubt you'll win any competition with this

 

Also this tune, for the most part is all simple diatonic chords, which becomes boring after a while since the same basic scale is being played over all of it, rather than approaching chord tones and adding chromaticism

Usually when someone complains about shred it's because either the shredding truly is kind of lame or the person can't shred and probably also plays with less feel and dynamics than who's being complained about. Because you're generalizing all shred in such a way, I'm going to assume the latter (and have little doubt about being correct). :D

But he did ask what people thought. IMO the solo was fine but the sweeps a bit simple in comparison to many others posted on youtube. Thanks for posting, Niikbia, and good luck.

cool playing.

 

the best part about this whole thread is the way you introduce it. i know you're from italy and all, but 'hello, now analyze this' is hilarious.

Like I said, The OP is a very good Axe Arperator. Further, he is more than welcome to defend/detail this thread. He started it.

What I see is mostly spamming. 'This is a world best guitar context, How I doing?' :wink:

These kinds of things tend to devolve into a mutant mass of flame agents and/or circle -jerkons.

Be that as it may, I see the genre as a cheap thrills niche. Scales and Arps real fast. Excruciatingly pedantic. Free world ... maybe, certainly NOT the stuff you wanna waste the kids on.

While I do find these threads rather pointless, since the OP doesn't appear to interact with the people replying, I still don't see the need to launch attacks on everyone who chooses to play 'shred'. These sweeping statements are quickly becoming as formulaic as the playing being scrutinized.

For me sitting by is a lie. Says MUSIC all over this place. Nuthin about recon debrief/ RnR.

 

 

Everyone's got a right to an opinion, but along with some of the shredders who come across as speedy robots there are also many different players who can do a lot within the genre as well as in others. There are also those who feel bluesy rock musicians are all SRV or Hendrix wannabe's. There are those who fit the stereotypes, but there are also plenty who find their own identites and add elements from other genres to mix things up.

You bring up extraneous concepts as argument. Sorta like shred. Stevie and Jimi had lots of misses. Horrible stuff. So what. They didn't even post here.

 

My point - since the genre is in fact, music, is *teach good music*.

Whew yeah they did. Saw a video of the Band of gypsys stuff and JH was stoned and out of tune -terrible stuff. Supposedly SRV had some real bad shows until he quit drugs too. I dont hate sweeps and taps any more than I hate bends or vibrato BUT too much of a good thing gets old in a hurry. I dont like listening to auctioneers for very long either!

I realize the language barrier, but I lol'd at "Hello,Now analyze the central part of the video..."

 

Anyways, I thought it was pretty good and I liked it. Maybe a bit too much of the "stock lick" stuff though.

I quite like shred and fast playing in general ... But this wasn't particularly good playing. I found the pocket quite weak (overshot the one a few times) and vibrato pretty much non existent. Some nice speed on the arps... But not particularly interesting in how they were used. Just the usual top to bottom, bottom to top thing. Whammy bar gurgle seemed out of place and seemed like it was added just to do it. A quite good player overall ... But didn't grab me

Pardon my outtalineness but you mean the sweep drill? If you ask me you'd learn more picking at any chord note by note. By the time you get fast you'll know what the music is.

What ever it was he was showing, did anyone master it yet?
