[quote=Hack&Lube;799960]This is in the guitarist thread too but this kid deserves to be seen.
Despite everything I've ever seen, take a look at this no-name Brazillian kid and tell me that he isn't as good or even better than all of the big-name guitarists today:
He's faster than Malmsteen and Angelo, he's got creativity I haven't seen since young Eddie Van Halen, he's got as much composition as Vai and Satriani, and he can play cleanly without distortion sort of like Eric Johnson. This guy could honestly face up to those guys and do better I think. It's simply amazing. He's inhuman and combines rock licks with heavy metal sliding and other stuff like flamenco and classical and jazz and blues and funk (see the middle of the 3rd video) just...I can't believe what he does with the neck as cleanly (He has effects, but they compliment the sound and it isn't muffling distortion. You can hear ever note) and as accurately and as fast as he does. That's insane for anyone who plays guitar knows. I've watched guitar videos and players for years and I've never had my mouth open like this. There are shredders that go as fast as him but they just shred meaninglessly, this guy has melody and keeps switching it up with something new and different styles at ridiculous speed.
First one starts out a little choppy, but that's the webcam, not some kind of trick.
that guy is absolutely amazing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taIqwQ9j7fk but this has to be easily one of the best performances guitar wise, he plays jason beckers altitudes Live!!!!! ( for those who don't know him in my opinion the greatest neo calssical guitar song writer, and the greatest guitarist of all time, he has the talen in composing to that of beethoven bach mozart etc, and in my opion the best guitarists on youtube are the one you just mentioned, gustavo guerrero
