"Can anyone here play..."

the guitar solo from Sweet Child o' Mine? If you can, you are a God.

Damn straight!! I love the way he plays Bach piano pieces on guitar, sounds good. Whereas i do the reverse and play rock/metal on the piano :D M.A.B. auditioned for ozzy before he recruited zakk wylde, his exact words were: he doesnt need a stage, he needs a f**kin straight-jacket!! Gotta love oz.

EDIT: Hilarious typo. nm.

Yeah, he's my great-Grandad.

EDIT: Seriously though, it's the same thing again and again. If you didn't know better you'd say it was the same song because the sweeping arpeggios all sound the same in the end.

I do like Paul Gilbert though - at least he has some personality in his playing.

Suppose it depends exactly what you're playing.....meh.

Anyone seen those videos by Michael Angelo Batio?

Does your hand look like that when you sweep? I know mine doesn't...

It's slap bass and tapping! Really amazing guy. Looks just like a gypsy.

No, but if that was the solo in a proper song it would be pretty sweet to listen to.

This guy owns all metal players anywhere. I think it's the ear-rings.

if I had the time or patience to practise my technique for the next few years I probably could, but I don't, so no. It's alright I suppose, better than the Dragonforce thing anyway.

His bends were out of tune and he lacked feeling.


*watches the video*

Ohh him. Yeah he can shred like crazy but would you actually buy an album of him doing that? The video was entertaining but mostly that was down to watching his fingers flying around insanely fast.

His picking hand makes a really weird shape...
