he just rips off classical music and plays it way too fast ALL THE TIME.

I personally take offence to somebody saying that shredding has no feeling.. there's a difference betwen shredding and just plain wanking. shredding sounds good. you wanna hear some wanking listen to kirk hammet's solo from "one"... that tapping part was totally pointless, in my opinion.

but it all comes down to a matter of taste. this is where I stand. There's way too many threads about this kind of thing.]]> Guitar Players Discussion PsYcHoNIK https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/3/#post-89736 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/2/#post-88656 Mon, 07 Feb 2005 02:39:17 +0000 Cause from what I've seen, he plays it at regular speed a few times in a row, then tells you to play it...here's what I did when I watched it.
First, I was sitting there, watching it, guitar in lap, eyes wide open.
then after he played it, he told me to try.
I laid the guitar flat on my lap, put up both my milder fingers. then turned the video off and went back to my practice routines. I totally disagree. Ive got the Speed Kills DVD, u dont need to be able to shred before hand at all. I learnt to shred alternate picking runs from his DVD, in the first few lessons, which obviously when I look back was actually a revelation in my playing. After he plays the things its shows you a tab and you can play along at a slow temp, the idea is he teaches you the ideas, techniques and licks and you build the pace.
Its not the sorta thing that you go thro all at once at all. Its like I'd learn something, practice over time and then dig it out again later when I feel like moving onto something more advanced. Could be a week, 3 weeks, 3 months later. His lessons have been invaluable to my playing.
They wont help you if you dont do it at the slow tempo set to start and pay particular attention to his picking motion.]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/2/#post-88656 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/2/#post-88617 Sun, 06 Feb 2005 21:37:04 +0000

WARNING! Neil sometimes uses naughty words! :D


JO: What do you look for in a solo?

NY: Elevation. You can feel it. That's all I'm looking for. You can tell I don't care about bad notes. I listen for the whole band on my solos. You can call it a solo because that's a good way to describe it, but really it's an instrumental. It's the whole band that's playing. Billy Talbot is a massive bass player who only plays two or three notes. People are still trying to figure out whether it's because he only knows two or three notes or whether those are the only notes he wants to play. But when he hits a note, that note speaks for itself. It's a big XotherXuckin' note. Even the soft one is big.

Here is what Neil Young said in an interview:


JO: What are your views on people going to college to learn guitar?

NY: Paints a pretty doomed picture of the future, doesn't it? First of all, it doesn't matter if you can play a scale. It doesn't matter if your technique is good. If you have feelings that you want to get out through music, that's what matters. If you have the ability to express yourself and you feel good when you do it, then that's why you do it. The technical side of it is a completely boring drag, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I can't play fast. I don't even know the scales. A lot of the notes that I go for are notes that I know aren't there. They're just not there, so you can hit any note. I'm just on another level as far as all that goes. I appreciate these guys who play great. I'm impressed by these metal bands with their scale guys. Like I go, "Gee, that's really something." I mean, Satriani and Eddie Van Halen are genious guitar players. They're unbelievable musicians of the highest caliber. But I can't relate to it. One note is enough.

"One note is enough" Wow. Thanks Neil 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/2/#post-88598 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/check-this-guy-out/paged/2/#post-88595 Sun, 06 Feb 2005 17:15:24 +0000
