Thanks Alain

[@ajrosales047]

You're welcome Ben. We should be the one thanking you for doing the legwork on all those shredders...I'm learning the 30 shredders now. Although it's still going to be a long ride but I'll get there

Oh no that would be the unendurable misery after playing so well in one take ...... “one take “ :O

[@JamieWittGuitar]

This is incredible on so many levels. Uncannily accurate renditions of each guitarist played that well warrants praise enough, but to have worked out individual sections for that many, and then to do the whole thing as ONE TAKE - that's just an insane level of work. I feel privileged to have watched it.

[@uuuaaaaaa]

My plan was to ask where the f**k was Little Wayne... Got trolled instead...

[@Ihatemyusernamemore]

I love this. Some of the original shredders you've improved on your original version to capture them even more. Like the first Dimebag sounded Dimebaggy enough, but this one was like "oh damn, that's about 50% more dimebaggy" and that's just one example of many, truly fantastic work, 11/10

[@skullkid112]

Chris Broderick trolled us all my friend. But you killed that 8 finger tap!

[@123jozef]

Awesome that you just did this old-school style. All technique (and some sound effects) no overwhelming reliance on whammy bars... no locking nut, just straight-forward playing. I think to many "players" get caught up in the 'trendy" stuff rather than the actual music itself. For example: How many "electric" guitar players could you hand a heavily strung acoustic too... without them sounding like they can't play at all. There is so much that goes beyond the scope of soloing that I think many of todays youngsters are missing out on. Music theory, for one.... acoustic playing and fingerstyle.... playing without effects... just hardcore basics.

it's all there: musicality, nice vibrato, expressive and flawless technique, real tone, and as if that weren't enough, even the methodical diligence to get into the mind of a whopping 101 guitarists ....that beats all the records. I have always found that working out how other people play and figure out why they sound the way they do, is even harder than just writing my own music. I remember Friedman saying the same thing.
