Holy crap, Hog, you just provided the last hour or so of my music listening :P

The Dire Straits cover was scarily spot-on. Great tone and playing.

I tend not to be impressed by "hot chick shredding videos". Players shouldn't get a free pass for what they look like.

Joe Walsh is a tasty player. I always have time for some James Gang.

Robert Fripp is one of my guitar gods. He's a massive influence on the way I play. It's cool to see Frippertronics in action long before looping pedals existed.

I had no idea Les Paul was such a shredder!

As far as string gauges, I've always played with standard gauges (9 to 42, 10 to 46), and those have done me just fine. I do need to learn more about truss rods and setups in general, so I signed up for a free class that Guitar Center is offering.

I initially dismissed Joe Bonamassa in the '90s as just another white dude in the shadow of SRV. But the recent stuff I've checked out by him has been very cool - more actual songs.

I only know Joe Satriani up to the self-titled album in 1995. How is his stuff after that?

An entire AC/DC concert in high quality - amazing. I will have to come back this afternoon and put that on. Wow.

 

stick with the video, it goes to a live show with a audience of brooders
with is wrong with these people? Those guys rock!

this is cool, I use to practice "Mr. Fastfinger" Guitar Shred Show - Mr.Fastfinger
this stuff is a lot of fun, I think I first found this guy back in '03
one of my favorite online lessons

Golden Earring and Joe Cocker - Classic footage! Thanks for posting. I love how all those old-time videos showed people sitting down to rocktastic music.

The Satch Crowd Chant could have been really corny, but I could totally see that working in the live context.

As for that TV show thing - wow, it's goofy. I don't know what to think. The dude's playing reminds me of a cross between Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai.

 

I was happy to stumble onto this, I never saw the artist before.
Mr. Fastfinger is a online guitar practice. About 10 years ago, this was one of the better online free lessons.
It does sound goofy, but I know those jams as segments of solo lessons. (spent a lot of my hours fleshing some of them out)

Those are all bits of solo's he's playing. It's free, (click the link) and started out with Mt. of the Tapping Dwarves, you hold down a key on your keyboard to show you a solo lesson w/ guitar tab. Later he added Magic Carpet Tour. (lessons in 7 modes)
You practice all these individual solos, and you can fit some together to make a jam. It's like a language lesson, your learning new words, to your vocabulary.

It was just a lot of fun, and one of the first online lessons I liked, when I began getting online, and learning how to use the computer to improve my playing. That was the year i also started learning Satriani stuff, like legato.

We use to suspect it WAS Vai but held back from making money bets. Turns out it's Mika Tyyska, a Finnish virtuoso.
I think Vai was using that G-Force processor a little then too.

 

Most of his fans are old guys who want to sound just like him, and chanting it, is as close as any of us can get.
