Once you can shred/solo like Dragonforce, you are winner!

Was just thinking to myself, in a few years that kid could be the new Herman Li.

Im gonna go practice now

Waits for some idiot to come on and compare him to Vai/Satriani and say that he's not that good.

I thought this thread would contain two things, a shredder yor from the teenage mutant turtles thats 8 years old, or an 8 year old shredding machine.
Im dissapointed on both accountws.

i cant play guitar fast, but i HATE shredding. it sounds so stupid. granted it's impressive to see someone's fingers working like that...but i dont like the sound of it

Except when John Petrucci does it

Pettruci is one of the worst offenders in the genre of "anal musicianship" tbh

Yeah, me too

Shredder would so shred that kids ass.

The kid has skills but i can't stand 'shredding'. It's just musical masterbation IMO.

Haha I guess, depends on which album you go for. I'm not a huge DT fan in terms of die-hard loving all of their albums, but the Metropolis album stands out to me with some excellent guitar work by Petrucci, especially on the live one. He plays a guitar solo at the introduction to "Through Her Eyes" that involves a fair bit of shredding, but some good emotional stuff to.

For the record, my favourite guitar player is David Gilmour

He's not as good as Vai/Satriani.

Came into this thread wondering what was so interesting about ageing office products

Firstly I thought it would be that, then I thought maybe it would be this.......

Thats exactly what I thought but I didn't want to say.

Shifter_Hull · 5 Feb 2006 at 18:56

That guy isn't 8, he's actually around 12 as this is kind of a 'yawn' video around the guitar community lol Still it's very impressive for such a young age.

Anyone can learn to play something though, especially fast like Racer X stuff, you could teach a monkey to play fast. If he concentrates on theory, improvisation and developing a wider area of expression then he could be one hell of a guitar player.

Same for me!!! Although I'm not a great fan of shredding, I can't deny it's damn impressive.
