We tend to forget hiw technical and clean Gus G is 😂

Dallas Coyle was literally playing garbage. LOL!

These days hearing diatonic sweeps with high E taps is like someone gnawing a chalkboard with their teeth. But there were some great clips here outside of that.

Where's Rusty Cooley ??

Most of them sounded like video games except for Greg How and Chris broderick

Still one of my favorite videos on the internet.

These looked a lot harder when I was like 13 watching em lol

7:27 is that _the_ Joe Haley from Psycroptic?

whole video I'm looking in the background and seeing dated electronics thinking, dang this is older than the 13 years ago it was originally posted. Then the last guy having his MySpace page advertised sealed the deal.

This dude only knows one speed and it's obvious what he's doing lol. Very impressive though.

where is micheal romeo

Chris Broderick's was by far the most imposible to play

they sound pathetic now

he's a really great player but he just cant resist the urge to do the same thing again and again... when he's not trying to be the fastest player in the world he actually sounds good

now if only rusty used those chops to play charlie parker and sonny rollins tunes... some bitches brew... some love supreme... some mahavishnu... some weather report... some RTF... some headhunters.... because truly great improv needs CHANGES... some ii-V-I... a little bit of SWING... and Llastly: a bit of funky groove. wait, did i just describe Allan Holdsworth? maybe 😊

don't hate me for saying this but, yes he is INSANELY fast but it's just kinda...boring? and lowkey obnoxious sounding if I'm being honest

Kislány meg látta a csávót azt záróraaa👑

Idk why people don't like him, but love Shawn Lane. Shawn would bust out exotic scales from his ass and Rusty's musicality is more melodically recognizable. However, I could have sworn from some of these clips that Rusty was mirroring some of Shawn's hardest shredding. Personally, I prefer Shawn because I love jazz/exotic shredding, but Rusty can shred like him too when he wants to. You need to tap licks that both can do with ONE hand.

Times past so much now since all of these....the amount of dean guitars! No one touches them anymore these days really apart from the odd die hard dimebagt fan, weird that.

Who's the dude at 6:40 ?

Is that Roy Z at 6:08?

Amen

Grande Loomis!!!!

Some people just have a different nervous system!!

Yes, very fast playing. But where's the musicality of the playing? This isn't enjoyable to hear. Honestly it's Annoying

At this point the speed ceases to have an impact. Technically great but overkill.

0:11 BUCKETHEAD!!

Whoa no I play with real emotions comments 😱 unbelievable lol

3:10 - Entro to don't be a stranger by Accept from Faceless World Album?

Not a nice heading.

Beast !

I recommend watching this at 1.5 speed.

I noticed he has a ring on his finger. I wonder which guitar is he married to

You have dual alnico pickups and a better sound system here. You are very good, don’t diss other musicians though. Unless they steal from you.

im his son andf greatly appreciated seeing this compilation

At 0:11 Rusty just embodied the surreal buckethead hahaha these guys are not from this planet haha ​​too fucking much

Emil is a benchmark great guitar playing.

Hi guys what's the song name at around 5:35 ? Thanks :)

I watch these for the nostalgia of being a kid and thinking how tf do these do this??

Everyone is good,i love mike campese betcha can't play this......

If you slow it down to half speed it still sounds bad.. Ultimate fail

u had no pulse in you ... not even his stethoscope dectected a pulse ...he could not let you go ... there your body lay, wounded and wraped up...cold ...cold as ice... even your hands were bruised... i said he needs blood and i said we should turn up the heat to your room. and should u not make it ... i put quarters on your eyes. before i left i painted your guitar a lil bit ... we both had talked about how cool it will be if it were painted a certain way ... then i placed the guitar on top of you i prayed for you...so much 😣 then .... you came back brother... you actually came back! to us... to the world ...to your family...

Defenitely on a next Level

Emil gave me guitar lessons in a little music shop in Dothan Alabama 20 years ago when I was 12.. I still play, and he was playing like this then, as a senior in high school

Orhan gencebay plays a better instrument... 😊

The only appropriate shred 5:48

5:49 I like this sweep picking

The riffage at 00:32 is so incredible because there are so many goddam elements in there. It's like bluegrass, jazz, classical, prog, blues, and metal had a baby and it's just this monstrosity which should sound like garbage but ends up being perfection. It's like a combination of all the best bits from Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Yngwie, Gilbert, and even Holdsworth for fuck's sake.

That ending was perfect. 🤣🤣

Should have given the names
