Guitars Suck

[speed monkey]

Heh...if you've got 20 minutes, some of this stuff is nuts...some of it is just, meh....Rusty Cooley is almost cartoonish...

The Guthrie Govan part that starts at 9:35 is worth the entire thing though...

Yeah, that was a very interesting instrument. I've seen 10-string 'touch' guitars before, like the Chapman Stick, but those basically just combine bass and regular guitars into one neck to allow you to tap out both bass and melody parts simultaneously. This guy's 11-string, by contrast, appears to be essentially two inverted sets of six-strings, with the low-E being a common string in the middle.
This would allow you to tap out some crazy, closely-clustered chords and unison runs that normally only keyboardists could do. This guy didn't even remotely show in that video what such an instrument would be capable of doing, though he did some amazing stuff.

Everything in that video made me want to lock myself in my studio for a week and practice.

Dave Martone, he's pretty interesting. Still not a big fan of extended tapping lines, for some reason, the arpeggiated stuff sounded really neat.

Yes, the Govan part, was... mind blowing

Cool video, but the uploader sounds a bit pretentious.

Well, I suppose if you don't have the chops you may as well have the greatest collection of instrumental guitar vids in the History of the Universe

I just watched the Guthrie part again - just sick, especially with the clean tone...

Way too sick, I quit.

[metalboots]

Watching it again makes you feel even better about yourself!

Shawn Lane at age 16.....what can you say? it's a shame he didn't get more recognition for neither talent nor music.

(and the NAMM clip straight after it...fucking brilliant.)

[pinto79]

I've seen Martone live at a clinic and he does rip.

Great video.

[MBreinin]

I know one thing for certain, if I had nothing to do but practice guitar for 12 hours a day, with Steve Vai as my private instructor, for the next decade....all of these guys would still smoke my ass!!!

Man, I love Dave Martone...great style.

I dont give a crap what anyone says.

Shawn Lane always was and always will be the fastest. That clip there is proof.

Guthrie Govan's tune was impressive as well. I love that kind of stuff.


I really liked Christophe Godin as well. . .I REALLY love his style. A fellow Laney player too, and his Vigier is very similar to my Ibanez RG550DY that I always play.

[Mikernaut2]

Wow some very cool stuff, but IMO Guthrie Govan stole the show, that was awesome and when he kicked in the harmonizer effect or whatever it was my jaw hit the floor.

The Bumblefoot part made me laugh my ass off when he started singing along.
