Annoying Twit Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1412364006' post='2568349'] Before looking, is it Jack Thammarat? [/quote] Yep! I looked at some of the other finalists. He is head and shoulders above the others IMHO. This may be a generational thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit bland though, and his other numbers don't match it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Not knocking his ability but I heard Tony Iommi for the intro then the licks were very much Megadeath note choices IMO, for me it was like watching the Jeff Beck and Tal clips but a bit more metal inspired, sorry Check out 1.30 or about 7.30 for how it is meant to be done [url="http://youtu.be/b7RoTZtiS1Q"]http://youtu.be/b7RoTZtiS1Q[/url] Edited October 4, 2014 by stingrayPete1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I just listened to your recommended Marty Friedman clips, they are solos over minor second riffs, so how are they in any way comparable to what the kid in the op is doing, which is far more compositionally and harmonically complex?

lowdown Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I remember seeing this the first time around (and liked it). I think his harmony approach to his composing is great, and not tied to any 'western ear' progressions. Although I think it sounds like it was written on (or for) Halloween night. Great stuff.

[/quote] Not really, If you listen to loads of Megadeth or even some Metallica you will hear loads of that sort of composition in my opinion, nothing wrong with it but it doesn't get me going like it does you, it is all good, horses and courses etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I like Vai and Satriani, but somehow this doesn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That is what is good about music, something can get to one person and not another, dare I say I dont dig Jaco for example, I have tried but nothing is doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1412350149' post='2568144'] What did you hear? [/quote] Finding it hard to describe. I didn't really feel gripped by it, but saying that a lot of drawn out prog type stuff does take me quite a few listens to get into and then I'm hooked. Will give it a few more plays, but I certainly wasn't wowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super talented but I can't listen to this sort of stuff for too long now. 10 years ago, I loved it. Dale Marks is pretty decent though, and that Strat has some crazy scalloping!
