    The youngster was definitely better, and not because of the tapping. His control, tone, accuracy and vibrato were years ahead of the others

      It's very simple. He tried to play music. The others were just trying to make "fast noises".

      @ABOIsen69666 you clearly have never played any instrument or know music theory so I'll put it in a way even an idiot would understand. Guitar make noise when you pick it with pick and fingers go on fretboard and sound happens . ikr genius and hitting notes fast and cleanly is the whole point of a shred off but none of them were good cause they haven't played for that long. An instrument takes years to master. Then again if I were to use what you said music is just a bunch of noises some of the fast some of them slow. So stfu and seeth and mald to your hearts content.

      But at least the kid has skills and time is on his side. When I heard the others, all I could think was, "Don't quit your day job". If that kid practise, there's a chance to do something with it. The rest? Forget about it and take up bass playing.

    No disrespect, I would be shaking like hell if I were to try that and I'm not saying that these guys are bad players, but this competition seems a bit pointless as it mostly results to noise...

      I’d barely call this music. It seems more like a sport. No offense to anyone, just my opinion.

    I would've busted out the Tornado Of Souls solo. I played it at a contest as a teen in the 90's, but It didn't win. Someone ripped out some Yngwie shit and they won. It wasn't even that clean either, kind of sloppy. But hey, whatever man. Guess they had tin ears that day.

    The only thing slightly Impressive about that was the way Nita looked. She is beautiful as always. Her looks are a plus but to me her playing is was I think truly makes her beautiful. GETCHA PULL

    #1 very generic, almost as though he could take it or leave it when it comes to playing guitar. #2 was very impressive having the least experience, forearm strength and dexterity, hand size. #3 had the strongest attack with his technique, specifically with his left hand. #4 had the best balance of technique with both hands and was able to manipulate the tone with his picking dynamics and George Lynch style progressions. I feel that #4 was the best overall. #2 having the most handicaps to overcome, did very well for his physical limitations. He will very possibly be a revered player once he finishes growing and fully conquers his size and muscle restraints.
