I loved this when it came out 8 years ago, then like everything else I immediately forgot it. I've seen the guitar player on other shit, and he's beyond incredible. But there's no solo on this. It doesn't matter, this shit gives me faith in the younger generation.

I posted the fretboard diagram of this in some other thread, so I looked to see if there are videos of people playing it. Of course there are, and I watched about 194 of them before I found one even close.

Everyone else was sloppy and got tripped up on the same parts. Jimmy even has trouble with that monstrous lick at 1:38 but he still pretty much nails everything. Interesting that nobody can replicate an improvised performance by a guy with 2 fingers in 1937.

Well kind of. Jeff Healey played like this, but never any crazy shit like here. Check out Rory Hoffman on the right. He's obviously got at least 1 bass string, possibly 2, not sure what's going on there. This asshole plays about 20 instruments and sings, all amazingly like this. He looks like he's blind, or somethings wrong with him.

I HIGHLY suggest checking out Joscho Stephan's youtube channel. It's 100s of videos where something amazing happens in every single one. Usually with someone I've never heard of who is incredible.

This is kind of a weird one. From the imitating a train horn with tremolo picked chords, to the alt picking extravaganza solo, to the punk rock ending where it sounds like he throws the guitar against the wall. Check out his right hand strumming, it never stops at that tempo. Very similar to the Dregs song from last week.

Here you get to see how he played this crazy shit on an improvisation. Keep in mind this fucker is doing this with 2 fingers:

His composed shit like this is amazing, but his jazz shit is next level. this tapping excursion (2:48 on if the timestamp doesnt work) is unreal:

Here he is improvising over Sunny. I don't know what to say about this crazy shit:

This came out when I was in high school and blew us away of course. Here are the 3 best ones, but it's all good.

First, by far the best thing Zakk Wylde has ever played:

Next, the best Yngwie song ever. He redid this for a record, but it's not near as good as this version:

Finally... this. The Paul Gilbert one. Before this came out, he said in an interview that he sped up the guitar on one part as a joke on all the shredders. The thing is, he's so fucking fast you're wondering the whole time which part is sped up(it's obviously the ending fadeout):

This confuses people because it sounds so weird. Anything that sounds like a slide, violin, or theremin is this thing. There are 2 switches, 1 turns on the sustainer, the other gives you an extra feedback note. Kinda like a built in harmonizer.

I was doing nothing last night and slept through it, lame. This was a MAJOR upgrade from my first 4 track which had a gay channel, so it was really a 3 track. I was emulating The Guitar Trio on my prized $100 Alvarez, lol.

I've been playing since 1989, had my first bout with this in the early 2000s. I managed it without surgery and everything was good for years, minus a few hiccups. Then it started again a few years ago, becoming severe for the last year. I documented the last 6 months' decline if anyone's interested.

So I had the surgery on both hands in January, stitches are coming out of the left one Wednesday. For anyone who has done this, or know someone who has- how long until you could play 100% again? Any permanent issues? When can I beat off normally again?
