Guitar players musicians need to watch this

Pugilist · Feb 1, 2008

I stumbled across these popular guitarists "shredding" videos on youtube and find them hilarious! I think people who play guitar can truly appreciate how funny these are.

This one is Steve Vai, but the guy who posted it did alot of other guitarists.

lmfao... At first I didn't know wtf was going on. Then I finally realized that what Vai should have been playing and what I was hearing were two totally different things.

Vai is a great guitarist, but it's kinda creepy to see a guy that old with that much makeup on.

I just watched some of the other ones. The Clapton and EVH videos are even better.

I agree. Although I don't like loud and fast guitarists, EVH was amazing...

I think this is a tad better.

EVH dominated the acoustic as well. See "Spanish Fly"...

edit - here is someone playing Spanish Fly exactly the way EVH wrote and recorded it...

Exactly man. I've never had speed but I won a blues competition. That almost compares

RICLARK · Feb 1, 2008

all this acoustic and no esteban?

Rick_R · Feb 1, 2008

In my younger days I used to say I'd give my right arm to have the ability to play like EVH . . . but wouldn't that suck.

(All that talent, no right arm.)

These "spoof" videos are tedious to me. I "get it," but 5 minutes of play-acting and well-played bad guitar (oxymoron?) kinda wears on me. Not my kind of humor, I guess.

I've been enjoying some sweet solos, though, by watching the original videos, usually found in the "Related Videos" section of the spoof.

NitrouStang96 · Feb 1, 2008

lol @ the Santana and Metallica videos.

Pugilist · Feb 1, 2008

Just watched the Santana, almost fell outta my chair. Call me simple, but these kill me! :rockin:

Found this one day looking for different versions of Little Wing.

It's kinda funny thinking about Steve Vai searching for videos of himself on Youtube, coming across this, and getting REALLY pissed off. Isn't he the guy who was the president of his own fan club (or was that apocryphal?)

One of the first songs I could play start to finish. Took me a long time to get all the nuances, but it sounded pretty damn good if I say so myself.

That guy has a very unique take on it, was very cool.
