Sultans Of SHRED!

🎸 FULL TABS AVAILABLE AT: / jamierobinson
Another fun SHRED parody of a classic solo!
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING the original solo is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time! This is just me having fun imagining if other players had played on the track (or if it were part of a hypothetical G3 jam!).
Zakk Wylde
Paul Gilbert
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Guthrie Govan
Eric Johnson
Jason Becker
Who would you have liked to see in this imaginary collab? Did I miss anyone??

​@@GuitarGangsterArmiFr. It's the most idiotic thing to say, "This person can't be as good as this person, because he isn't as good as said person currently." Nobody is born a guitar genius. Some may have to put in more work to get there, but this guy can be as good or better than Guthrie Govan with practice. So can every other person in the world if they put in enough effort.

[@jacksondye3446]

@@danielmsmbl2 not true. a great part of a persons proficiency is genetics. another their upbringing. most people can never reach Guthrie's level no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't tell a person they will never be good enough, but we need to manage expectations. the average person cannot compare themselves to the best.

As myself a guitar player, lover of Mark Knopfler style, I appreciate a lot your work. You have an excellent technique. However, the mix with "Sultans ..." backing track results so weird for me.
