What’s the hardest shred solo to play

[* velcro-fly *]

I cannot play it for shit, but to me whenever I hear someone cover "perpetual burn" by Jason Becker it always sounds a little off. I rarely hear anyone "nail it"

Yeah there's some wild holy shit going on in there for sure.... Jeff Loomis does it justice here but he's another specimen too.....check the Becker poster on his wall

The shred parody videos would be the toughest to nail 100%, sour note for sour note.

That would insane to try

So while we're on it... EJ has always been a benchmark, but check this kid out. Rick Beato recently did an interview with him, I had heard his name but never listened to him play before just a few minutes ago. Holy fuck he absolutely NAILS this tune, phrasing , EJ tone, the entire package. I'm gonna have to dig in deeper.

It doesn't look or sound that hard, until you actually try to learn it.

I've got a few hours of old old EJ live semi bootlegs that a friend recorded when they were opening for him in Austin back in the early to mid 80's, all on cassette. He plays some Motown stuff and just goes off.... "Stop in the Name of Love" with EJ shredding is just nuts

The tone in his hands is the most unique ever

That ascending semi-atonal lick he does at 4:20 is rad.

It's weird like you almost never heard of Jason Becker. He was insane in his day.

Thanks brother, but it's actually a Dean V, not an ML . Been looking for another Dean for awhile, especially a USA Soltero or V but had a hard time locating one, especially in Canada

The first time I heard Altitudes I couldn't believe it what I was hearing. This was after I had listened to Malmsteen, Satriani, Gilbert etc.

I see it now !

That's a cymbal in the background, making it look like an ML.

Now that you mentioned it...it does look like an ML, especially from the angle! hhahaha..maybe now I should look for an ML

Really? This is live from the last day or two at NAMM

For fucks sake..... 5:30 onward is just ridiculous. Shawn Lane level of speed with an added dose of clarity and accuracy.

Z. Wylde or Petrucci when on a roll.
E. Johnson for his mind melding phrasing.
And Spock because he's Spock.
