About as fast as I can go

[mcolquitt]

This is not what you would call "high brow" stuff but it sure was fun to play and pretty fast..

It is me over a metal backer in Em

Those fingers are as hot as pepper pie I was going to call the fire brigade round to yours!!

[mcolquitt]

On my slowish PC those fingers were just a blur. :-)

Fast but.... I just don't er.... Get it (if you know what I mean).

No offence meant and believe me, I couldn't do that for a minute. Impressive speed indeed but not my cup of tea matey.

Last time I said that I was told I didn't "get it" because I could not play it but seriously that is not the reason. I wouldn't want to.

Still, it takes all sorts and some of the stuff I try to play or listen to would not be to your taste for sure.

I'm with Farley on the not getting it part but I would love to be able to do it. My style is more like the backing to it, the heavy riffage if you will. hehe!! Amazing playing though, man. Great job.

the intro riffs sound curiously close to Master of Puppets

Farl...funny thing is I agree. If you take notice here as well as the other places this silly video has been posted I openly admit that it doesn't say much musically. It was completely and totally done just for the sake of going as fast as I could go. It isn't something I would open up to share with people as my claim to fame...it's just what it is ...silly wanking for the sake of silly wanking.

The rub for me would be if someone said that there was nothing entertaining about it...because no matter what you will either laugh your ass off (which is ok in my book) at the sheer nonsense of it or be amazed and think it is awesome.....and I suppose even if it got you angry...you've been entertained!!

HA
Cheers!

Hey Mully...thanks for the comment on youtube; that is really appreciated.
The reason it sounds like MOP is because it is suppose to. I got a group of backers all based on different styles of actual bands. There is a Zep an Eagles this one and more..... I just happened to pick this one to blast over because the key E minor (for me) is a comfortable one scale wise....

Cheers

LOL Not angry but not wildly entertained either although... I did watch it to the end! Ha!!

Glad no offence was taken. I actually think you are a great player but... slower...

[mcolquitt]

Yea No worries Farl....It amused me and a bunch of others so mission accomplished....and you are right about slower because you want to know who I really rank in my top 2 all time favorite guitarist's? Jeff Beck....Makes one note sound like the last one you'll ever hear!
