Yeah, but this guy is shredding on a classical Acoustic! Thats some kind of sick happening right there.....
I would have thought not possible on such a guitar but that video proves me wrong! Interesting to me it sounds less guitar like the faster he plays.

Is he technically proficient, ohh God yes..and some, is this cool...nope!
Oh come on, Bargie!
How can it not be cool? With that maniacle grin playing it at 350bpm?
I nearly fell off my chair laughing..
But I do wonder how he would go on an electric...
Yep knows where the notes are, but nine thousand notes a minute dont maketh the man . The other off putting thing he looks like Simon Cowell lol
On an electric? He'd know every Yngwie Malmsteen song ever written and be able to replicate them to a tea at double time, ask him to play with feel he'd shit his pants.Quote:

You're dead right man, very comical.
I am sure I have heard this guy playing some classical Guitar and he was not only technically brilliant, he had folk crying at the sheer beauty of his playing. Must do a search to see if it is infact him.
Pretty sure that he was totally taking the mickey, there were a few moments there where I am sure he nearly cracked up laughing..
There's no doubt he's slaying it and more than likely hamming it up for the camera, I just get completely put off by the wankery of fast playing. Would love to hear some classical stuff though.
