i of course realized it was a joke, just couldn't believe how serious it was been taken in the clip by the band and the audience.  it seriously sounds like me "shredding" on GHIII.

I don't get it.  I must be dumb.  In the clips, it doesn't really sound like the guitarist but it's still some pretty good guitar playing, I think.  The playing seems to match up to what the guitarist is doing, too.
 
 Could some please explain to me what's going on in these clips?  I'm in the dark.

Someone replaced the original audio with wankery that closely matches the playing that is seen.

Those are fantastic...very Spinal Tap, like when Nigel starts playing guitars with the violin and his feet.
 
 On the opposite end of the spectrum, I just have to say that Pete Townshend is God. Been loving that "Amazing Journey" special put together by VH-1.

Ok.  Thanks.  I did think some of them were funny.  Like the one where Slash uses the talkbox but makes bird noises.  I was just a little thrown because the guy who did them matched up the fake audio with the fretting and picking on the video VERY well.  He had me fooled.

Now, what does this say about guitar solo worshipping in general?

It isn't what it used to be?

Blah.  Mr. Big.  Yuck.  A friend of mine really liked Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, etc etc when we were in Middle School.  I could never get into that.

Kinda like those silly cats that bring up Yngwie Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, & 'em when I say Hendrix is the G.O.A.T. of  guitarists.  That's like comparing Jordan to an And 1 Streetballer or the Harlem Globetrotters.

Exactly.  He also couldn't stand Hendrix and thought that Les Pauls and Strats were old man guitars.
 
 Fast forward 17 years and now he's playing a Les Paul in his band.

No.  I don't think it's awful playing.  It's better than most people can play.  It's pretty good guitar playing.  Also having to match up with what they (Clapton, Santana, etc.) are playing is tough.  It has to be "bad" but still match up, sort of.  It may be a little too ironic for me but some of them were funny.  There's some flubs but it's pretty good.

 P.S.  I'm excited.  I'm seeing a really good bluegrass revue, next Sunday.

[Brian_Wallace]

Ok.  The Metallica one is hilarious.  I'm crying.
