      But at the same time, no one else can be you. That's the best part, skill level aside. Sometimes simple stuff hits way harder. Sometimes you need the shred or it's empty. It's just different decorations of time and it's beautiful

    10:19 James Norton was so clean. Holy shit. That was indeed the take.
    4:00 Dom Chavez was also sick. Flawlessly transitioning between some pretty tough techniques at a really high speed.
    12:44 Nicola Gulmini was super creative. Those weird beat divisions were definitely trippy and cool sounding.
    19:04 As a melodic solo, this vibed pretty hard. I really liked those note choices, and the bends were indeed super clean.
    .
    So many great players besides the ones I mentioned too. Those were just the main ones that stuck out for me. And this was only like 15-20 entries out of 1500... jeez, this would be hard (impossible) to judge. As a fly on the wall though, I'm glad as hell the shred collab let's me enjoy all these insanely talented musicians.

      @@nicholastorgerson8176 you mean he played it live with heavy backing synth turned way up to hide all the mistakes and the fact that he can't actually play it properly. That's why he won't play it to just a click, he can't. And you do realize that going to school means nothing. Most guitarists are self taught, which is honestly more impressive than having a teacher guiding you.
      I've watched his "live" videos and you can clearly tell how sloppy he really is. You don't go from that level of slop to perfect computer quantized video game sounding 100% attack on every note perfection like that, ever. 95% of what you're hearing in his playing is actually the synth that's playing all the same notes

FX Hexchen with the damn spoon again and the over-the-top. James Norton was just too much, sonically confusing but, insane talent, insane speed and insane control. They were all fantastic.
