Originally posted by Danielle There is actually a quasi-famous guy who has no arms and plays guitar with his feet. He tours small venues and school and stuff, sort of a music + inspirational story show. Nothing as complex as these guys are playing obviously, but it can be done. Also, I know you'd put it on a stand... But stands are for pussies |

Originally posted by [GGS Heh. If you like it that much, check out his band Racer X. I'd compare their style to the heavier age of Judas Priest (in my opinion that would be Defenders of Faith and up), but even slightly faster, more technical and advanced insane solo's, and more shredding / instrumental at times. Another amazing shred guitarists, and often referred to as the fastest after Michael Angelo Batio, Chris Impellitteri. Just like Paul Gilbert, he has a band that goes by the name of Impellitteri. From the reviews I've read they've had their ups and downs, but their Screaming Symphony album is outstanding, the vocalists, insane solo's, everything about it is amazing. Above all of these musicians, Jason Becker remains to be my favorite shred guitarists. His life story is quite a tragic one. But his albums he put out with Marty Friedman (Megadeth) with the band Cacophony, have probably the most fluid and best solo's I've ever heard in my life (its a shame the vocalists is horrifyingly bad though). And now even diagnoised with ALS, he's used computers with the movements of his eyes to compose entire albums, entirely done note by note. So, he's basically like a guitarists Beethoven. But yeah, check into those bands / names if you like this stuff I guess. |

Or put it on the ground and try playing it like you would with DDR.
Maybe it'll work? Hmm? |

Racer X's Paul Gilbert
Get's a bit boring towards the end, but the shredding at the beginning is pretty cool. |

How cheap, the whammy bar only works on one of those necks I liked how he broke in to Smoke on the Water and Crazy Train in the end (yes yes, I will admit I picked up a few metal songs in my stay here ) but I wouldn't know enough to know if he played any thing else very memorable. I play a little acoustic guitar but I'll never be that good xD |

The day he can play this, I'll say he's good. |

I believe this was filmed for Dean Guitars or something. |

Pretty amusing, but suffers from the usual problems with guitarists like these... amazingly talented but musically average.
I assume the whole thing is a medly, though I didn't recognize parts of it. What is the part from about 3:00 to 3:30 from? Also, is this an actual video of him playing, or just a music video? I know some people get ridiculous with their tapping and hammerons / pulloffs, but at the part from about 4:20 to 4:32 he seriously does not look like he is moving with the music at all... |

Just watched it all.
...Excellent. Who I really want to see, with one of those babies, is Herman Li! |
