Yesterday I become to send an email to a band that was looking for guitarrist, today they answer me and they send me an amazingly video of the actual guitarrist shreeding with a menor harmonic scale in a classical gilbert o malsteem exercises. I was amazing the boy was playing so so fast but it not have any sense, it sounds like a drill, like the circus, like the fast as you can. There wasn´t any feeling. I was like if I secuence my laptop to play speeding notes. It was the same feeling.
Well the boy say to me that they were looking for a guitarrist able to play at this speed and upper, to do some dueling solos :lol:
Then he finished the mail with something like are you able to be better guitarrist than me. I said of course boy, with only two notes and with a bit of feeling I could transmit more feelings that you with 200 notes per second :lol:
I´m so bored with malsteem clones, please any other musics are posibles don´t get into the dark force, please.
 
but as my mother said - "you can't save the world, boy. just find a woman, buy a house and set up your own rules."
That´s totally right. But I could put some rules on my live, and one is try to skipping all yngwie malsteem´s clones and that kind of bands, they bored me so much
 
being in the metal band loop i see a whole lot of "super shredders" all the time. but alot lack feeling and emotion. this is what made people like vai an evh stand out.

i read an interview with eddie and they asked him how he felt about his influence on all of these player playing fast and tapping and such. and he didn't really like it. he said that he feels like those players are using them as tricks and novelty stuff when all along that was just part of how he played. i can bust out a little shred here and there (enough to hold my own most of the time) but busting into a solo line that just sings above the entire song makes jaws drop to the floor.

over time i've kind of gotten away from pure wankery. if the song calls for it, then do it, if it sounds right... then do it . but just running up and down scales at light speed does not make you a good guitar player it makes you a fast player.
its not how many notes you can play, its how you can play them.

In my opinion the best shredder and feeling is achieve with andy timmons, joe satriani

Agreed!

My guitar teacher told me once "No matter how many notes you throw at them it will be that one long note that captures there attention, remember this isn't a race"...."why drive 120 mph holding on for dear life hoping you don't kill yourself. What happened to slowing down and enjoying the scenery.
 
yes he is very good player. now i´m hearing a "shreeder" guitarrist. Marty Friedman, he is very good for my taste, so cool, I think that if friedman were in metallica and hammett doing hot dogs, maybe metallica will still keep on the first line
