I watched a minute of one of his videos once. I'd like that minute back please, I thought it was fucking dreadful.

That Ibanez guitar sounds absolutely terrible. Really thin and trebly, almost no sustain. I suppose it suits this style of playing & music well as it is easy to get it over the top of the mix. And playing that fast, you need attack & not sustain.

Here's something entirely opposite: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmiWlMJiq1s

Someone sent me a Polyphia video to watch and I genuinely thought they were trolling me with one of those “[insert band] shreds” videos.

No thumb tapping, but plenty of percussive action!

We have a special thread to keep this guy contained.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

This would be so good in isolation. It's just that I love the album version of this song so much, that anything else grates a little.

I heard this one first, before the album version, right at the beginning of my rekindled love of acoustics. At the time I was also discovering acoustics other than dreadnoughts and classical. It kinda stuck with me.
