I wonder if nile have a section on their website ... "betcha can't sell a record or even get a record deal"
You're right, it's well known that a record deal = talent

:confused:

at what point did I say the guy had talent :confused:

It's called 'betcha can't play this', not 'I'm an awesome playa'

Still haven't seen anyone play it so I guess he wins!

and this is sort of the point as well ... see lots of talk in here but am yet to see any links to every ones kill chops or band links, would be nice to be able to compare ... or hey how about a link to when guitar world rang you and asked you to do this :thumbsup:

Since when does someone have to be able to out do some one to be able to critique?? You shouldn't judge your politicians if you can't do a better job then them? Shouldn't say an amp sounds like shit if you can't build and design a better sounding amp?

Who would want to?



That has to be the sloppiest mess of attempted sweep picking that I've ever heard. WTF was Guitar World thinking by actually shooting a video of this hack? I've never listened to Nile, and now I'm quite happy that I haven't. He makes Kerry King look like Al Di Meola.

This is why I don't sweep pick, because it would prolly sound like this lol! Man I hope he was at least wasted when he did this, because that was the suck!
 
Hey, I betcha I can't play this, and I betcha I can't remember what I just played.
 
It sounds like my trip into GC to buy strings (don't ask)....about 10-15 kids/players all playing the same poorly executed arpeggios and one old dude playing" I can't stop my leg, boom boom boomp"with crappy over saturated gain all at the same time....my headache returned listening to that clip

I'll take that bet but don't knock me if I play it properly LOL
 
7 studio albums, god knows how many tour dates, while being part of an arguably influential death metal band? Meh.

One rather bad guitar world video? Total outrage.

Gotta love forums some days :)

I'm sure they would have allowed him a few takes

It's a video titled "Betcha can't play this"!
That's a heapload of arrogance and swagger that must be backed up with high levels of skill, not high levels of alcohol and slop.
Try getting up on a stage in a big city-proclaim you are the king and whip out a crapfest and watch how the crowd reacts- regardless of your tour dates and resume

Exactly what I was gonna post. Of course you're gonna get shit if you partake in a video series that is all about showing off technique in a "haha I'm better than you" kinda way, then you blow it that badly.

And when you seem like you're visibly wasted ontop of it? I've seen people crucified on the internet for far less...
 
Not even sure why Sanders agreed to do this kind of thing. Nile aren't known for their soloing as much as they are for complete extreme metal decimation. I can't see many guys in here being into Nile so obviously this is going to get some laughs. One of the best drummers to ever take a throne. Nile is more of a riff oriented band. Trey Azagthoth from Morbid Angel is the same way, he's a noted guitar god but his solos are very non traditional shred.

It seems like they caught him after a show one night and asked him on the spot to rock a solo riff. Then there's guys like Rusty Cooley that probably spend a month working on the riff and play it 1000 times to perfect it just to be like "betchya can't play this". Sure it's flashy but what has Rusty Cooley contributed to the world of music? ...... nothing. Nile on the other hand have a crapload of highly acclaimed and influential albums.

:hys: \:D/ :hys:

Dan, next time you post one of your drunken jam fest videos, you have to title the thread some thing like "Betcha Can't Play this", "Worship my shred", "I amaze myself"...you get the idea. Also try talking in 3rd person about yourself to up the confidence-o-meter
:lol: :LOL:

Come to think of it, we are long over due for another Dan episode. 3day weekend, fire it up!

Havent played in a while. Been busy. 2 kids graduating highschool this month.
Gonna jam a few hours today. Got a little free time.
And yes....bet that no one can "Play this" or "Hack this" or "Butcher this".... :lol: :LOL:
As mentioned earlier....no one would want to. :D
 
The real problem here is he ignores one of the cardinal rules of teaching or instruction.

When he played it fast I was like....what's RT on about now...I've heard worse!

But when he played slow, it was pretty bad. All the good teachers and instructors can play their stuff fast and especially slow. It's how you show students what you arte doing, and it also shows a good command and accuracy.

Now, given all that...it's all in fun. I've never taken "Betacha Can't Play This" as a serious lesson. So...lighten up !
