4:18 He starts sweeping, on an archtop, clean tone, with .13's

This guy is just :holy:

I've see that video a ton, unreal technique.

This is one of my fav guitarists, Birelli Lagrene, playing with Sylvain Luc. Watch the whole thing, then crap yourself during each of their solos.

 

[ferret balls]

Watching now. Their own playing dynamics and their dynamics with each other are just unreal.


Thanks.

Not my type of thing, but some great players there.

This is the one I always go to:

Chet Atkins playing clean and bone dry, on an archtop, with heavy gauge strings. Sweeping. With a thumb pick. In 1975.

^i love that vid

Honestly, Jerry's fingerpicking chops are far more impressive (at least to me) than sweeping. He was an amazingly underrated player, and Chet himself felt Jerry's fingerstyle was more advanced than his own.

 

[ferret balls]

No doubt, the finger picking was just at the level of an art form. That's the video that sparked me to post this thread. Why I posted the Kurt video was, when I first saw the video, my mouth was left open. The mere fact that it was improvising is amazing, but the technique was just fantastic as well, given the "hindrances" of it.

Another vid in the same vein.

Scotty's way of alternate picking double-stops sounds just incredible, but is pretty much impossible for mere mortals...

Sweep-picking is ridiculously easy compared to advanced finger-picking, IMHO.

Of course, it could be that I feel that way because I can't finger-pick worth shit. :lol:

BTW, there's just way too much win in all the vids in this thread.

This is the one I always go to:

YouTube - Jerry Reed And Chet Atkins Jerrys Breakdown

I actually missed this post :lol: That's so sick though..in 1975 :yesway:
And those are the reasons I listed that Kurts video was awesome.

Just because I think it fits in this thread: my favorite Shawn Lane video

This thread is so much win.

[Phantasmagoria]

The unknown shredder strikes back... :metal:

:nuts:

Seriously though..there are some insanely good players in this thread. :yesway:

 

[budda]

I'm afraid to click on any of these videos

 

[ferret balls]

I'm afraid to click on any of these videos

Yeah, as I watch them I go back and forth between "how inspiring, WHERES MY GUITAR!" to, "I'd be lucky if I got half as good in twice the time ".

There's some fantastic videos in here though :yesway:
