The best guitar performance you'll ever hear

What they play live is what you hear on the CD, for the most part. I've got several of their albums, and when I saw 'em live they were meticulous. There was more jamming, if anything. I will admit they are mechanical, but not stiff. I think meticulous is the better word. Very crisp, very intentional. I guess it takes away from the spontanaeity you might hear in some prog bands, but it still grooves in my book.

Ya I think I'll take meticulous over mechanical. That's a good identification of their musical tendencies.

Slightly scratchy audio aside, that was most certainly a rightious version of Canon.

Wow - CNN International is playing a story right now about the link I initially posted, they managed to track the guy down (a 22-year old South Korean grad) and interview him.

Weirdness.

I was pissed when I missed Nevermore at GiganTour. Still am, cuz I won't get the chance to see Nevermore very often. Wonder what Megadeth would've been like if they'd accepted him when he tried out.

Amazing playing I must say, but it's a tad clynical and sterile. (You shouldn't follow along to something like that and stay right with the classical sound.)

Plus if you listen carefully he's muting a few notes here and there. The important thing is his head is in the game for sure, talk about someone who has a good set of ears.

I've been playing for about 4 years now, I have 6 guitars, a fairly large all vaccume tube amp, and I'm still taking lessons.

Here's my main 2. The kramer is pretty much identical to van halen's 5150C kramer, since it's had a custom neck made for it by warmoth.
