Originally posted by skipstar59I'm an old geezer,classic rock dude, and I can't play that shred stuff. I give credit where credit is due. For a 15 yr old the guy CAN do more than most 15 yr. old guitar players. Honestly it really is envy that most at 30,40 or 50 can't do that stuff. You just gotta get over it. Some people are GIFTED musicians and have a natural abitlity to pic up music quickly while others can't. My son just turned 16 in April and is a very gifted musician with WAY more talent than me. He writes, records and plays ALL the instruments on his recordings.Even if he were not my son, I think the stuff he records IS impressive for his age. Here's a link to his music.my son's page
Hmmm.... I dunno, man... he's pretty young... strike one... does he play fast? If so, I'm afraid he sucks...

Originally posted by Teleplayerthe kid in the vid - he's 15, cut him some slack. I think he should be proud of learning the song. He will improve with time. He's proven that he is one very determined player. My guess is that he will get better with age. Just think where he'll be when he is 20.
At 20 he won't be old enough, bitter enough or jealous enough to be good yet. Give him another 20-25 years or so after he turns 20 and he may have possibilities. As long as he starts to play slow...

Originally posted by Tone BoneYou wouldn't be referring to a certain now-banned poster who must remain nameless?
No, see that guy plays fast sometimes and therefore is bad. He just so happens to be old, bitter and jealous... This is just a coincidence...

Originally posted by AineiasOn a more serious note (well it's hard to hit a mroe rediculous note when MYK is in the thread):A friend of mine was playing that piece when he was 16. Was reall yinto shred, technique etc. However, since then, he's discovered Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola, Franke Gambale and co. , all of whom play very quickly and require great technique to get into their stuff - but he's got the technique to play it all and is now developing in terms of musicianship.He hardly even plays electric guitar now, mostly playing the acoustic and experimenting with some Indian instruments.The point is that there needs to be a level of maturity reached before one can develop forms of "artistic expression". Yes, there are some 14 year old kids who can play very challanging pieces of music, just as there are 14 year old kids who can paint an almost photographic piece. However, until you're into your mid twenties (unless you're extremely precocious), you simply don't have enough experience of life in order to have something artistic to express.For the same reasons, I dislike the teaching of poetry to young teenagers (as a general principle) - since most of thme will not be able to grasp it's depth. However, if you taught 14 year old's sufficient grammar and vocabulary, by the time they DO have something to say, they're full yequipped with every tool they ned to express it succinctly and beautifully.Same principle with music. Develop the technique early on - then you're equipped, technically, to say whatever it is you need to say.
You're like all serious or something, huh?

Originally posted by Knut E EvenmoTo anyone complaining: I`ve yet to hear very many people @hcaf with better technique than this guy. This was about that, not feeling.
Here's the deal -> Fast playing = bad tone, sloppy, no feeling, no good... Technique is not important as long as you play slow and can vibrate the string real wide. Then you are good. Oh...and age is important. It is best to be old, bitter and jealous. These are the traits of exceptional guitarists...
Please make a note of this...

Originally posted by MetalGuitar08If you're talking solely about this player, then I don't hear perfectly executed sweep picking. I enjoy shred and fast guitar, but it can't be pulled off with open notes ringing out everywhere.
You're missing the point. ALL fast playing is sloppy, has no feeling and has bad tone.

Goddamit! Didn't I tell you this thread was closed? Sheesh... Whoops...broke my own rule...
Steve -
Everyone sucks and plays with no feeling and is sloppy with bad tone if they play fast. If they play slow with wide controlled vibrato, they have feeling and are great, with excellent tone. I would rather hear three slow notes than 1000 perfectly executed sweep picked notes per unit time.
So, net/net, this kid sucks... Age is no excuse. He should not play fast anymore and then he will be good. Especially if he spends the next 10 years developing wide, controlled vibrato.
No more posts are necessary on this thread.
Thank You,

Originally posted by STEEL KAGEIf it really was the truth, he wouldnt need to spin, edit and do otherwise to show it. Im not saying that hes fabricating but Come on, MM's tactics are well documented and debunked...
While I can't say I didn't appreciate some of what MM was trying to point out in that movie, the "creative editing" borders on outrageous. At one point, he has a clip of Rice saying something and then cuts away before she finishes, although she pauses so it appears legit. It made her look really bad and if you hear the full clip of what she said, it is the exact opposite of what Moore makes you believe in the movie. Total bull{censored} IMO...

Originally posted by Def_Pearl_PilotI have to agree with you on this one. I didn't know what this guy's reputation was before and I don't know after. I could see if this guy made $75 million and LOST it as a direct result of the movie due to lost contracts or something.
Or, if he had the *real* potential to earn that much money and now can't because his rep was ruined.

Originally posted by JamesPetersWell, I got 3 right. I guess it helps having heard Bob Savage's clips as of late.
Yeah, especially since he dialed it in...

Hey ya picked out the 5150II!

Originally posted by Sick MichaelOH!! so those were G12H-30s?!!Man, I've been waiting for someone to post high gain stuff like this on those speakers, for eons!I always loved the tone of those speakers but was never 100% convinced on how well they take to this kind of stuff.Thanks for this!
Yup... H30s... They seem to work pretty well for this material. I was actually kinda surprised...

Originally posted by Bob SavageBecause it was written on the Internet, and everything on the Internet is true.
Good point!
And for anyone that was not sure - those were the real settings that I used... Not that you'd want to use them anyway...
Steve -
Originally posted by Bob SavageDude, how are you going to patent those settings if you keep giving them out?
How do you know those are the real settings?
Steve -
Originally posted by Megadeth7684Steve, what were your 5150 settings on that? You remember? Also what kind of guitar and cab were you using?
Sure. Here ya go:
Schecter Hellraiser 7 string on bridge pickup (EMG 707) ->
Keeley-modded TS-9 ->
Drive - 10 o'clock
Tone - 10:30
Level - 1 o'clock
5150II ->
Rhythm Channel
Bright in
Crunch in
Pre - 7.4
Low - 6.8
Mid - 4
High - 6.3
Post - 3.4
Resonance - 8.2
Presence - 8.5
Mojave 4x12 w/G12H30s ->
Audix I5 ->
SM57 ->
Recorder
There were two different physical guitar performances, each of which was reamped and mic'd with both mics. Performance one of each mic was panned hard left. Performance two of each mic was panned hard right.
All guitars bussed to the Waves C4 using a tweaked version of Andy Sneap's posted setting, a gate for noise and then out to the monitors. Added a small room reverb and that is it.

Originally posted by Ed DeGenaroNo clue/don't care to guess what's what. BUT, I dig the first oneam okay with the 3rd and hate the second.
I'd have to say I agree... although I know how to fix the second one...
Steve -
Originally posted by Bob SavageIt depends what you're trying to accomplish. In this case, I believe Steve is trying to find the best "metal" tone out of each amp. If it was a "what amp sounds best" then I would agree, sticking a pedal in front of one to give it an advantage would be "unfair."
Yeah, this wasn't a "which amp is better" thread. It was a which tone do you like best and match the clips to the amp thread. You could argue that the boost would make it hard to match the amps to the clips, but most people here were easily able to pick out the 5150, even with the boost...
Steve -
Originally posted by SlyStratIts not a fair race if you used a pedal.
I wouldn't see why not. I clearly stated that I used the pedal on the rhythm channel of the 5150II and frankly, the 5150II has enough gain on the lead channel to produce that tone...
