I've seen that many times, the guy's very good. Google video has many cool guitar videos :)

Check this one out. It's an amazing cover of the solo in John Petrucci's "Glasgow Kiss".

He's good, but I hate people covering songs like that on guitar.

Original post by BobV This guy is playing 'Canon' on an electrical guitar and it is truely breath taking.

Pachelbel's Canon is boring. It's the most overplayed piece of classical music next to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Vivaldi's Spring, and Ravel's Boléro.

Eh, any good classical guitar player is much more impressive to me. For example...

Try this one as well. It's a guitar lesson from the guitarist in Symphony X, Michael Romeo.

If you think thats sweet anyone heard of Yngwie Malmsteen???? Hes the best neo-classical guitar player ever (to be argued). Michael Angelo Batio is a sweet shredder/classical madman also.

... anyone heard of Yngwie Malmsteen

Yes, nearly ten years ago. I have one of his cd's, "Facing the Animal". And I have the G3: Live in Denver DVD with Yngwie, Vai, and of course Satriani.

Yeah, I love this video
Check out the Speed Lives Video

Also, I guess I need to start practicing some more...now I'm depressed.

http://www.deanguitars.com/angelo/mab_videos/ He made a new double guitar video. The guy is nuts. M.A. Batio that is.

How can someone play that well both left and right handed! I can barely get by with one hand![smile]

The man's been playing everyday, 12 hours a day, for many years. Michael Angelo Batio is a technique psycho, that's for sure.

Michael Romeo is an amazing player, I actually prefer him over Malmsteen. Malmsteen is still good, though.

Check this guy out. He's relatively unknown, but he's damn good.

Impressive. I have to play that song at my brother's wedding this summer, albeit it has be to a little more subdued than that.

That Bob Zabek guy is really amazing. I'm glad to see there are still people out there who are doing more than the 3 chord cookie cutter stuff.

With that said, after watching that kid play Canon, I decided to give it a go myself and recorded Canon with crazy show off shredding stuff (mp3, I'd be far too embarassed to do a video). If anyone is interested in hearing it let me know and I'll put it up.

I personally prefer this one This guy is amazing.


Oh wait you said guitar

Yeah, Bob Zabek's got some other cool stuff on youtube too. His tapping vid was most impressive to me, though.

I'd like to hear your rendition of Canon. I thought about recording a version of it myself.

Dirty bassists always tring to push their propaganda...

Gotta say... about the Canon in D...

THAT WOULD HAVE ROCKED AT MY WEDDING!

My wife walked down the Isle to the Canon, but I would have rather she had rocked out to that instead! :P

My lame attempt at Canon is located here.

It was done in one take, so be gentle about the errors :)

two words: holy shit

It is a rare thing to see someone do something like that on a bass. It kindof makes paul gilbert's stereotypical guitar shred seem a bit insignificant by comparison.
