Title: How not to Shred!!

Check out this guitar solo/wankage in the clip below. For me this is awful playing. Crap sound and incredibly messy. Basically this is where speed overrides touch and technique with terrible results:

Check out that stiff arm action, doing it Dick Dale style!

While I understand the fixation on bad guitar players, if Behold the Arctopus gets mentioned again, I might cry.

Strange... I was just about to post them.

Anyone can play random notes. Especially that unclear ones.

The guy in Steve's link was having a bit of trouble hitting all those random notes...

This one isn't guitar playing but it is guitar related. I found it to be absoloutely terrifying. If you're of a nervous disposition do not watch.

If only he played a little slowly and with some phrasing... Unfortunately, when playing with more instruments it could sound better for those who drink more.
It is no good, I think he could do better if changing his approach to guitar.

Sort of reminds me of Kirk Hammett lol!

Steve5513 - June 18, 2009 04:42 PM (GMT)
That really does sound like Kirk Hammet lol.

Speaking of Kirk Hammett...

Jeez. He makes Nigel Tufnell sound like Jason Becker. Truly awful.

That gets an award for sure!

ID - can you award me a Tufnell please as I am Shite on bass guitar.

IbanezDaemon - June 19, 2009 09:09 AM (GMT)
Lol!!!! :lol: Same here HK. Although the award for for dodgy bass playing is the Derek Smalls. I'm dishing out another bass award here as well, the Colin Grigson. Which one would you like for pride of place on your mantlepiece? I get the remaining one. ;)

Its gotta be the Grigson I.D. - He is the pinnacle of bad bass playing.

I gladly accept this award and am truely honoured. I would like to thank my mum, my cat, and whoever it was that invented peanut butter (I am eating a peanut butter sandwich at the mo). I couldn't have done it without those people.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. *sniff* (wipes tear from eye)
