Two nights ago I got to see Buckethead again. Not only does he play the most impossible shit on guitar, but he is a total artist. The only performance art future-shredder in the world!

If you think so,

On the album I got (Neo Classical Rock Guitar) it sounds more like he wants to play faster and more diverse than it is possible to play on a guitar.

Great thread. Anyone into guitar should read about this guy !!!JASON BECKER!!!

It makes my heart bleed, the guy is (still) a genius. :cool:

Most people don't even realize this level of guitar playing was possible in the 80s

[sharpiesix]

Oh, and this will make you all cry and give up hehe!!

That guy is really good, but I don't know if he could wrap his head around Buckethead's shit that easily. I bet BH could play his stuff, though. The style has been pretty much played out since the '80's, when neoclassical shred was in full swing.

Well atleast I haven't seen anything from Buckethead that would impress me. And you don't really want to claim that the vids of him posted in this thread show harder to play stuff than the example I gave do ya?

[supertzar]

I don't see him doing all that eight-finger tapping and shit. His technique is incredible, but I don't know if he can do what Buckethead does. Maybe he can? I don't know. When I think of impossible guitar it's Buckethead, alright? Not Mr...what's his name? Neo-classical shred master dude? :D Just playin', man.

[astrochicken]

Methinks tis time for some culture á la "less is more"

Here's a Genius.

Jimmy Page, jimi hendrix and eric claptons favouite guitarist, died 35 years ago
and hardly anyone has heard (of) him.


"Clarence White" and his inimitable insanely syncopated guitar

I Am A Pilgram, Soldiers Joy - YouTube


That's just the acoustic he also co-invented the b-bender, was a "byrd"
and played the mental guitar solo in arlo guthrie's "coming in to los angeles" (it's a 6string and not a pedal steel ;)

[supertzar]

Clarence White was Jimi's favorite? For real?!

By the title,I thought you were referring to Quiet Son,a band formed around
Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music's guitarist).Phil composed a piece called Impossible Guitar,but still,hey thanks for the video...all talent and technique.

Ha ha! I did! open tuning & loads of delay :) :cool:

I dunno, I took quite a lot of speed when I was in an irish band in the early 90's! ha ha :D

[onourwayto2012]

Nowadays on youtube there are 5 yr olds who can play as good as me and 8 yr olds who smoke my substantial backside. Perhaps a SLIGHT exaggeration here... but not much. Anyhow all the guitarists in this thread are awesome. I was happy to find this. I am an unabashed(is that the right word?) shred lover and have been since like forever. Any Shawn Lane fans out there?.... possibly the only guy that shreds all these shredders.

[krakhead]

But isn't 'shredding for the sake of shredding' just a glorified, musical wank?

Whatever happened to good ol' fashioned musicianship and songs? :(

;)

[onourwayto2012]

I was using shred as a more general term for intense and often virtuoso playing (and I'm using that term loosely as well). And yes "Apache" is a classic!

[astrochicken]

and then there's Albert Lee.. that man has so much taste and talent.

LOL, Big country eh?

Thankfully, musical tastes differ but as far as the thread title and
ability goes, i'm afraid to say they are for sure the odd ones out and slightly
out of place.

If you're not alienated by Holdsworth's floating sense of time, mixed meters ( where's the 1!?!?)...then hang in there until 4:50 and listen to a true innovator and technical/melodic genius improvise on the electric guitar
