If a douche shreds in the woods, and there is no camera around to film him, does anybody care?chinese fork tie wrote:i commented. what's the sound of a hundred douches shredding?

Next time don't be so quick to judge and put down other musicians. And it's obvious by the title of the video that it's meant to be a light-hearted episode.
By the way, both Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads using tapping. Guitar masturbation still?
Secondly, no. The tone is not due to recording limitations. Or are you suggesting the profesionally shot Guitar World videos from that montage were using poor microphones as well.
Also, as another comment stated, my iPhone records my guitar fine, so I doubt their camera/mic setup is too blame for the terrible, sqawking shitmess that was leaking out of their amps.
Finally, can I play this? No.
Will I ever be this technically proficient? No.
Am I jealous of others that are? No.
Are they technically advanced and at the peak of this playing style? Yes.
Do I need to appreciate this or not judge them due to this? I'll answer that with a question; Do I have to be tolerant towards bands/performers at the peak of CrunkCore or Happy Hardcore just because they are the best that a shitty style of music has produced?
I think you'll find the answer is: No.
To me it's like the triple jump at the Olympics. 'Congratulations dude - you've devoted your life to it, and now you can do that thing better than anyone else' . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .but, ehm, why?
Three chords can move me, that does not. To those who can - good on you. To those who can't - I hope you're spending your time having fun and rocking out - like me. =D
Man, this kinda debate - it just goes round in circles. . . . .
p.s. beer post =)

Re: Worst tone and guitar masturbation EVER...
Not a big fan of the shredding in general but this guy is awsome.

I dont know anything about him other than the vids of him revewing guitars for frettedamerica.
The reviews are well worth watching for the entertainment even if you are not interested in the guitar.
P.S
I bet he sees some action, and he can shred too.

Re: Worst tone and guitar masturbation EVER...
Man I could watch that stuff all day....faster faster faster faster.......oh man you just played like a kajillion notes! (Beavis voice)
I swear to God I've seen kids playing the intro to Sweet Child O Mine behind their back in guitar center...I need to post some video of that.
I really could watch Ron Wood or Mick Taylor or Jeff Beck or Muddy Waters hold onto whole notes and put their individual spin on them all day. But somebody pulls out the 64th notes, they'd better sprinkle them tastefully or I'm screaming "let me know when you get near a song"
Was this crap ever cool? This is like the exact opposite of Paul Kossoff.

Re: Worst tone and guitar masturbation EVER...
Wendigo may have the nutsack, but 357mag has the balls to defend these guys.
Paul McCartney said a great song will sound great when played alone on an acoustic guitar.
I noticed these guys (with maybe one exception) all used a lot of distortion and a lot of compression on guitars with super light strings. Tone in is in the fingers and is more noticeable with heavier gauged strings. If these guys can plug my 175 with medium gauge strings straight into a clean Fender amp and make is sound good, then I would be impressed. If not, then they are a one trick pony in which the trick has been allowed using a very specialized, artificial circumstance.
I can play really fast, too, but my best solos are the ones with more soul and fewer notes.
I like songs with at least four chords.

Re: Worst tone and guitar masturbation EVER...
I dont mind guitarists who are technically proficient, but the emotion and songwriting has to be there. Shredding is funny for about 30 seconds, but will never amount to more and at some point stops being music. No 357, i´m not jealous: i can play very fast, tap, sweep etc...but at some point i stopped caring about doing it because i grew up and realized that it desperately SUCKS. Maybe you´ll get there one day, and if not maybe we´ll see you in ´betcha cant´ video of your own for us to rip apart.

Re: Worst tone and guitar masturbation EVER...
The ability to speedwank is totally defensible, but posting videos of it online is the part that crosses the line . Look what I can do!
