OMG! The Fastest Guitar Player Thinks I Am An *****?

[@leehanson1416]

I was privileged to take in-person lessons from Rusty for a while, and he's a great guy and a great teacher. When I went in for the first lesson, he asked me to just play for a few minutes, and I played my collection of pentatonic-based stuff. When I stopped, he nearly stopped my heart when he said "It's hard to know what to teach a really good guitar player". I asked him to get me out of the pentatonic rut, and he did just that, helping me understand the fretboard and the relationship between keys and modes.

[@DarrenDavis-ov7zz]

I enjoyed this video guys! I'm Rusty's drummer from Original Outworld starting back in 1997. Rusty and I put in many many hours of killer rehearsals and writing sessions. We always had fun and enjoyed what we did. I'm glad we had all the fun we did. That album from 2004-2005 we wrote was one helluva beast! Take care guys. DD

Way way back in the day I remember seeing a video of rusty cooley playing a 7 string fanned fret guitar absolutely shredding the fuck out of it. MY mind was completely blown. I'd never seen anything like it. The guitar. The amount of shredding speed and seeing it on youtube. I'll never forget it.

Great interview, Rusty is a great guy and teacher. Cool to see him show his own build. I was watching him cut that guitar up at his house from where my step dad and I were using his dads vehicle paint booth and had to go over and ask him wtf he was doing. He turned me on to shred by giving my a Racer X tape and a Carvin catalog. A few years later the Carvin DC727 came out and I was on board. His teaching rates are actually reasonable considering who he is, I highly recommend. His effortless understanding of theory is amazing. I bought one of his personal Dean USA RC7 guitars but just cant like the EMG707s.
