8 finger tapping (or how my jaw has never dropped lower..)

starts out as your average soulless wanker shredding his ass off and pulling out a few common and easy crowd pleasing tricks.
forward it to about 2:59 and pick your balls/jaw off the floor...

his amazingly beautiful thick clean tone and the very piano-like chord voicings led to my initial thoughts being that he was faking it and there was a keyboard playing...
the guy holding the guitar for him was hilarious,as is the fact that i have been left speechless by a guitarist from myanmar playing a richard marx song.

8 finger legato is a hyp these days more ppl are trying their fingers at it. quite a challenging thing to master.

Nice! tho those comments at the bottom of the page kinda make me mad.

shh yes very good... i always enjoy seeing americans self-praising themselves...

when u self praise, u can't improve... i like to see them think that they're gods or sumthing... yes... all the more better for us "lowly mortal asians"...

all words no actions... america's gonna fall one damn day... and... we'll just continue to be "lowly mortal asians"... over "godly immortals"... :roll:

at this kinda rate, they'll only decelerate... i hope they priase themselves more.. if u can, praise them more... make them swell-headed... after all they're the most powerful, talented, naturals, ruler of the earth, kind, greatness, +++ all possitive attributes u can think of eh?

we have to remember not all of em are like this though... only the vocal ones like those who commented there are heard... whatever it is, we shall remain humble and silent... proud egoistic will only fall... have u ever seen a self-praising, overly-proud guy remain successful for long? never

I lost a few IQ points reading the comments.

well, can't blame them... i bet they scored 200 for their IQ test...

but anyway...

that guitarist... wow sia... power slap poppin and clean 8 finger tapping... its so damn clean even without dampers!

 

[unsane]

there will always be detractors for anything...jealousy plain and simple. i did actually laugh out loud at the guy's comment that he'd been playing for a few months and could do everything in the video,as with another one saying he learnt to shred in 2 months.

They smoke weed, I think that explains 8)

 

[ShredCow]

I have to learn some slapping.. It does sound very useful!

 

[strats]

[ShredCow]

haha... strats, i don't think we can judge the majority when a minority is represented. Blame those who posted, not the country.

 

[strats]

and american posters are civilized the say

i prefer the ending part to the starting part though.. richard marx woo hoo
