Bengal made a point about playing your own orig. tunes, and not

[Robert Burns]

"Everyone"? Does that? No...maybe 1% of the so called shredders out
there, can play like Huesca! At this level of mimicing... it's world class!
1 in a 100,000 imo.

[Robert Burns]

I love ya man, but Pleeassseee.
Whether he learns Via, Satch, Van Halen and etc.
The technique and skill he's acquired throughout the journey of learning such players is an understatement.
Its helped to make him a good guitarist indeed.
Imagine the arsenal he has? Guaranteed, he definitely can be spontaneous and creative in a band jam session, that much is obvious.

***** Watch this vid, and tell me Huesca isnt Awesome??
This takes mad skills to do well !

EJ "Manhatten"... too cool this guy

Uh...Robert I hope you know I was quoting Nortons comment saying he's nothing more than a clone. I defended the kid in the video.

he covers songs but adds his own twist on them

I see your point Robert, I always use the artist analogy...if you paint by numbers is it really a masterpiece? In my book no, if you create it, it is

While you have to appreciate the hard work involved to copy someone with talent but to me its pointless if you cant create and that is the whole point of music imho. There are far too many so called musicians who can nail Vai, Yngwie, Rhoads, VH better than original dudes themselves but couldnt improvise or create something to save their lives.

Bravo Shawn..exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no real point in saying this guy is a clone or not, the point is, did you enjoy it? I don't think anyone is said that him copying this tune is a masterpiece ~
This was someone saying, "hey, check this guy out doing so, and so, pretty good" and so it was, not "this guys stuff is amazing" anyway.
I'm sure this guy does these covers for the youtube crowd anyways.
Most non musicians and or the general population, or budding musicians,
what's the first thing they ask of you? "Hey can you play so and so...."?
He seems to have gotten his name out there very well! Right?
You think he gets many band offers?, I'll bet the fuck he does.
I would be suprised if he didn't.
Another thing, i pretty much believe that if this guy has this much control over his instrument, he could compose his own music, and he could improvise great.

Randy Hansen, he is a Jimi Hendrix "clone", he probably is the definitive "clone" if there ever was one, this guy is it. I saw him live, at a festival for Hendrix here in Seattle, among those who played were....Stanley Jordan...Vernon Reid, Mike Mcready, and i can't remember who else, lol, Heart i think but even after seeing all these great guitarist, who did awesome Hendrix songs and jams. Randy Hansen was fucking KICK ASS! You thought you just saw Hendrix, but at the same time, he had his own kinda magic, it was frikin great, and i left there thinking he was the shit, clone or no clone, the show was great, his playing was PHENOMINAL.

Theres also some "clones" at your local symphony, they play cover tunes all day long and at the end of the day, they get payed.

*** Good point... Itchak Pearlman i guess is a clone too? Symphony
guys, do "Clone" all day long, and they are bad ass players!

Awesome... yeah this guy is a bad ass, and can play
some great originals also... Gustavo, and Huesca have played
together at some festivals before...(would love to see that!)

I don't
Bands are looking for someone who can WRITE songs and is cool on the stage. No one gives a shit if you can nail Rising Force to the T.

you think many bands are trolling Youtube looking for originals? This dude has shown that he can play, by covering other people's tunes. Someone might see that and think, he could play his ass off in my band. Not everyone in a band is a songwriter. Maybe Dave Murray should get the boot considering his lack of songwriting output.

If this guy had put up a just few originals instead, no one here would be talking about them, no matter how great those originals might be. The quality of his "cloning" has brought him to everyone's attention - whether he can get it down on some original material will determine his staying power.

bands are looking for members from youtube?

Tim "ripper" Owens..

[destructin_od]

That Cesar Hucesca guy has been favorited by Vai too. He is a good player. I don't care if he is a clone or not. He can play.

http://youtube.com/user/SteveVaiHimself

But for the GGuerra, man he is an another story. The guy is just a naturel player. His playing is just out of this world. His covers are perfect. His own tunes are very good. He looks happy while playing wich separates him from all those "cyborg" guitarists. He also performed with Paul Gilbert once.
