Acoustic Guitar Solo of Awesome

The artist uses a fade/echo hook up to achieve the effect, but it sounds very cool.  I like it!

This guy is amazing.  It's like he took video game and electronic music theory right back to the acoustic level, and went nuts with the fingerwork training to make it humanly possible.  Seeing some of his other videos he has good classical training.  I like his flamenco video too.

YouTube - Ewan Dobson - Blood and Ice - Solo Guitar

His timing is spot on.  It's like he's putting the whole ensemble through one instrument.  Probably a good multitasker!

But hey, this is still just perform check 50-60ish.  Acacea can do stuff with her toe gypsy bangles that will make your brain go into a seizure. ;)

Anyone else feel like Scorpion and Sub Zero should be kicking and screaming in the fore ground of the video I posted?  I just imagined epic Mortal Kombat going on during this piece.

YouTube - Far Beyond The Sun - Yngwie Malmsteen

Was briefly a roadie for this guy in the War to End all Wars tour.  Ego the size of a tarrasque, but egads can he shred.  Got to watch his lineup of Jorn Lande, John Macaluso, Randy Coven explode on him and walk out on him too.  Fun times!  The opening act was hair band Lizzy Borden that tour, and they were pretty awesome to hang with, as was Yngwie's supporting band.  Yngwie... not so much.  Let's just say he took massive skill focus in perform but made his bard with a negative charisma modifier and leave it at that. :P

He was the basis for Metalocalypse's Swisgar Squigelf.

Now THESE GUYS, were fun to party with.  Nothing says lifetime experience like drinking with an 80s glam band.

Hey got a new one!  Same guy, but it's an 8-bit version.  This might be a love-hate vid, since 8-bit can get annoying.
