I ran into a couple of these kids over the years.Dude is good!
Sorry, no.With the internet, kids can learn stuff in an evening if they have any talent at all.
Are you being serious? I can't tell anymore. lolSorry, no.
The years of practice to achieve the level of playing to then be able to "learn something in an evening" cannot be overlooked.
In my day you could learn stuff in an evening if you could read music.
Or if you couldn't there was tablature that told you what finger to put on what string.
As a kid that learned the entire first side of 2112 with a cassette player and rewind I spent most of a summer learning basically one song. Granted, after that playing and learning other stuff was much easier, but rock and roll isn't about reading music. Learning by listening, then trying different fingerings for the same notes or chords is a big part of the learning process.
He was lightning fast and super accurate - and there was no heart in it. You can argue who is better guitarists all day long - what you can't argue is that no matter how good the internet is some kid can't play better because of the internet - without tons of practice.Are you being serious? I can't tell anymore. lol
There was nobody doing what he was doing back then that I know of.

I agree about the practice.He was lightning fast and super accurate - and there was no heart in it. You can argue who is better guitarists all day long - what you can't argue is that no matter how good the internet is some kid can't play better because of the internet - without tons of practice.
All together now:I agree about the practice.
What was the first song you ever learned?
I think I'm hungry for broccoli sticks!
The problem is there is a huge number of very technical guitarists out there, who can play some amazingly technical shit, but they just sit there and have no presence. It sounds great but it can get boring to watch sometimes. I recently watched an interview with Nuno Bettencourt and he brought this up because people went nuts about a solo he did in a new song when t he video was released. He said he couldn't understand why people thought so highly of it until it dawned on him that people are getting tired of watching talented guitarists just sitting in front of a camera playing technical stuff. He said he thinks people are starting to crave rock style performances again. I watch a lot of guitarist stream live on Twitch and, even though they are all really talented, there only a handful I can watch all day. There's this guy (screenshot below) who nails every Joe Satriani song he plays, but he looks bored when he plays.Are you being serious? I can't tell anymore. lol
