School of Rock Shred Contest at The Rave Round 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I shot ten hours of performances by School of Rock Show Teams. They were separated by various rounds of of the Shred Contest - here is the first one. Sadly, my battery on my handheld failed during the shoot. If this is helpful to you, feel free to buy me some batteries from my Amazon Wish List: a.co/9C11hyR
Part 1: • School of Rock Shred C...
Part 2: • School of Rock Shred C...
Part 3 - Semifinals: • School of Rock Shred C...
I did not shoot the actual Finals as that occurred at Milwaukee's Summerfest and I did not have a photo/video pass.
Apparently this was posted somewhere and has become popular. Three parts are on UA-cam. This first round: ua-cam.com/video/p0y88Qs0XxU/v-deo.html
Here is the second round: ua-cam.com/video/_stDNxIGj6U/v-deo.html
...and the Semifinals: ua-cam.com/video/Ns8Kc-uTuns/v-deo.html
I did not shoot the actual Finals as that occurred at Milwaukee's Summerfest and I did not have a photo/video pass. Sorry. The winner was Lucas from Seattle (the kid with the purple hair.)
Whats name a girl on 5:30 second?
And also the girl
I heard that MC say where the contestants hometown was and I recognized Linton and a couple other names he mentioned. I'm assuming he means in Indiana right? They're all very talented!
Dude throws his guitar pick out into the audience as he’s walking off the stage!! Winner!!
Looks a little more like he's zinging it AT someone.
I’m more of a drummer than guitarist, and I know that I have no shredding abilities. Props to these guys for sure!!!
David McAninch yup I play bass and I could never shred like that
No.2 contestant..maybe win..
The best guitarist..amazing..guys..
Whatching video from philippines..
Stay home and watch videos!
So far the 1st guy is best. You can tell they all are a few years away from being stand-out. Most of this is just noodling. I say this from the perspective of being the greatest has-been guitarist in the world.
if a guy comes out with long hair a v-2 and jorts you know boys gonna shed up a storm
even though it wasn't that good
Holy Moly, these kids are fantastic👍
Check out Asterism and their 16 year old guitarist Haruka Noma "Hal Ca". She already blows away Vai and Satriani . Check out the last two minutes of Dawn, Up the Horns, Light Into Darkness, Rising Moon. And the Deep Purple medley she did when she was 13 years old. You will fall off your chair.
if they all didn't try so hard, they would actually be better IMO. The fact that so many are into metal and progressing may pose a platform to bring metal back to the top. ROCK ON!!!
Dimebag slapping his knees was some funny sh*t there! Completely lost my sides!
From Russia with love. I love this red gerl.
She won the contest the year before.
2:00 ? Seriously? does he have like an inch of space below the strings or what? Slap some EIGHTS on there, lower them to where they are just starting to buzz and then you'll be able to hammer and pulloff like a boss!
Holy hell! The legend himself has spoken.
Love your videos man. You totally out rock most people on the Internet
@@7pines77 haha thanks! I comment too often on vids. heh
Woahhhhh the legend !!
Talented all of them
1.Someone please save rock n roll 2. The young lady did all of us female guitarists justice 3. umm why did dude have to take his pants off 4. awesome bass shredder🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽🎸
Lauren Conner won the contest the previous year.
He had cut off jean shorts under his pants...maybe he plays better in his jean shorts lol
Excellent synopsis...right there with you...was thinking, "Damn, got beat by a bass player!" Well done by all participants! 🎸
Get ready for pentatonic runs in 3..2...1... GO
5:42 looks like video game graphics
Nope, it's real. I've known this young lady since she was 13.
Totally Looks like Rock Band 4 default character. LOL I thought same thing.
Same here. The lighting was so weird, it hit just right. Kinda nifty.
They are all pretty badass tho! I like the first blues kid the best!
They need a school of Blues
The School of Rock does plenty of Blues. They have a very expansive definition of "Rock" - country rock, blues rock...
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 that ain't the blues. It's derrived from the blues.
Does anyone know if the girl that’s wearing the fleshgod apocalypse. Shirt is in a band I’d really like to see where she’s came from since this video
She has a band called Serendipity.
Kid with the buckethead guitar for sure
Headband kid was pretty good alsp
Lauren C. had the best composition. She had it timed to the 30 seconds. Beginning, middle, end.
The judges had a very difficult job, and I wouldn't presume to second-guess them as I'm not really a shred fan. I was a bit surprised that Carter of Oak Park made it to the finals - he's one of my very favorite SoR musicians, but his style is melodic and jazzy rather than super-fast. I admire the sheer balls of Brad Williamson shredding on bass.
This chick kicked butt! What talent
All i know is that hopefully all these little rockers can save rock n roll. Because rock n roll is in sad shape. And i im so sick of hip hop and rap. Its just getting worse and worse. theyre the future of rock n roll!!! Remember Rain Man The future of rock n roll
These damn kids and their noise! What happened to the big band hits of my day like "Im gonna snuggle my peedeledoop in my loves furryhoop" by johnny slickhair and the 35 piece brass section.
Now a days 4 people get together with only 3 instruments and hit a bunch of notes fast with fuzzy sound over it to hide how bad they're doing.
Bring back the real music like big band and barbershop quartets. Down with this talentless noisey drivel! No I'm not too old!
Its not that I'm a grandpa who cant evolve like literally every single generation before, its just that real music just so happened to fall exactly in line with my formative teen years. How coincidental
Lauren is fucking hot though. Is she 18 yet?
mag2469, this is more metal than rock. There is a difference. Rock is pretty much dead, but metal will live on.
Daniel Toliaferro rock isn’t dead, but your heart is apparently
Awesome and each unique ⚡✌️😎
Coooool baby!!
OK but Caleb tho! He had the full on rocker vibe!
If I am ever in a shred off I will just whip out the tornado of souls solo
i'm the guy in front of the computer monitor watching
BOTH winners
30 seconds is not enough, it's too short.
where is the beat?......
dude the kid at 7:40 fucking RIPS HOLY SHIT
That kid in the 2nd round with the single coil strat didnt have a chance
Always better to be a Will Be than a Has Been
Sad this ain’t music. Glad I did went to your school of rock. Pls teach them how,to play things right.
It's a shred contest. My channel is filled with these young people and others actually playing music. Check it out.
Howe do you pick a winner. None of them actually played any "Music". Just shredded a lot of notes.
Yes it's a shred contest. That's why it's clearly labeled "shred contest." Every single one of these young musicians is capable of playing music. Look through the rest of my channel and you'll see several of them playing songs.
Those kids were jamming
Imagine Michael Angelo Batio just destroying them all Hahahaha 😆
Is there a rule where they can have their volume up so it doesn't sustain the note
The judges were trying to evaluate everybody on the same playing field.
they should not depend on using scales so much
And so we can say practically about any video with Lauren
She's going on tour with the AllStars. The first date is July 24th.
I can not to visit it, because I live in another country.
I hope you post the video on UA-cam
I definitely will post some videos. If I sell more than a dozen copies of a title, I put the whole concert on UA-cam,
Will it be on your chanal?
One only "Mr. Crowley" has more than 100,000 views and more than 1,000 likes
My all-time biggest video is Judas Priest's "Victim of Changes" by the Chicago School of Rock with more than 300,000 views after Scott Ian of Anthrax shared it.
Whats name a girl on 5:30 second?
That's Lauren Conner from the _Chicago School of Rock._ She won the contest the previous year ( suspect the judges eliminated her early to avoid giving it to her two years in a row.) She was an AllStar several years as well.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 thanx
the lad on the right really reminds me of a young paul kossoff the guitarist from free. the way in which he looks lol the first 2 up I mean.
technically he's on the left of the stage but to the audience (and us) on the right. Get it right boomer (jk)
@@antiwar2 I'm not offended at all but just to clarify on that I'm a 90s kid, so yea keep showing your millennial judgements and entertaining us all (jk) DERPPPP
@@leesaunders1930 ok boomerrrrrrrr, also I'm not a millennial, I'm educated. (two different things)
@@antiwar2 educated at the school, college, university of millenials. I know you and your kind very well, the kind that bitch and moan about everything there not familiar with or that which they refuse to accept. 😉👍man I feel sorry for you guys, but go right ahead and keep on at it because its entertainment for me, nothing more than that.
Mula liialt, näppu seekord ei viska. 🍬
3rd round, the little chicklet owns them all
The kid with the red guitar was good as well as the female player.
Hey how come my guitar wont play like that
I hear ya dude....I been returning guitars for years! lol
I thought Lauren got the better of her matchup. I guess the judges disagreed.
She has won the year before, and I think they wanted to avoid the same person winning two years in a row.
MidWest Concert Video Why? Shouldn’t the best person win? Greg Maddux won 4 Cy Young’s in a row. Because he was the best.
@@TampaJohn That is just my supposition. Lucas with the purple hair from Seattle won, and I didn't attend the final competition. He may have been the best at that one.
the chic was good, skinny as a rail but she could definitely wail
I get it but there's no soul in shred.
Shred is not about soul, it is about speed and flash. I have footage of many of these players doing very soulful parts - like Conner of Overland Park playing Frank Zappa's "Black Napkins" ua-cam.com/video/LI6K9cPn6Yc/v-deo.html
I think there can be
@@kieferbradley2860 I agree and that's what sets the good ones apart.
oh ya im talkin bout both rounds.when is the finals?
I shot the semi-finals, but the actual finals happened on a stage at Summerfest. I didn't have a photo pass for the festival, sorry.
mag2469 The final winner was Luke from Seattle with the purple hair.
shredding is shedding and music is something different! I loved rock and roll,, until it got the KISS of death! and concerts became shock and awe of sight and sound! experiences which are OK if that's what you want!! but I kind still want someone to give me the beat boys and free my soul> ps I took my whammy bar off. along time ago!
Check out the rest of my channel and you'll see plenty of kids playing songs.
live by distortion dye by distortion!!! the school of metal?
Gayleb, the kid who pulled off his pants, has issues.
Here's my problem there really isn't any time it's all runs and no tears. No feeling.
This is part 1, which was basically everybody who decided to compete. Look at parts 3 and 4 if you want to see the best players.
Kudos to the kid using the bass! That's a bold choice but he rocked it
Honestly, I think he was the best, and I'm a guitar player.
Am I the only one that thought that the girl was an animated character? 😂
If Lauren Conner has the career that her talent deserves, maybe at some point they'll turn her into an animated character.
No you are not. I couldn't wait to read the comments to see if she was real or not.
That’s exactly what I thought prior to pressing play... then I realized she wasn’t; but when those lights shine on her hair and face she appears truly animated!!
Thomas Tom Di Stefano I completely agree with you! She really did look animated 😂😂
I literally thought the exact same thing. I thought it was some weird level in Guitar Hero or something lol.
I have to say every one of these kids is a winner. All of them have more skill than I do and I applaud each and every one of them.
This was just great! I've taught guitar for over 20 years and this age group is just really fun. Once they get past the initial shyness of sitting one on one with the teacher they lose the fear and replace that with joy! Watching these videos reminds me how much I love teaching and to not take that for granted! Great job to everybody who participated!!
That third round with Lauren and Josh was just killer! Both of them were smokin'!
They have much work to do. Scaling properly takes knowledge of where and what key changes to make to produce melodic phrasings. The key changes these competitors have shown is down right horrid. A 6 string guitar was crafted for the purpose of making quick changes in octaves and keys. It's the only string instrument that can compete with piano, which is also technically a string instrument. However, guitar brings a realm of sound that a piano or keyboard can never touch. Repeating the same finger patterns all over the neck is not ever going to produce favorable sound.
@Fuzzy Butkus I'm not a snob, and i'm not putting these kids down. I'm giving constructive criticism. I want to see these kids excel and develop into guitar masters. I was once like these kids. No one ever taught me or mentioned anything about diatonic keys and patterns. I had only discovered this phenomena by comparing all key pitches on a line graph (sinusoidal waves.) Much different and more effective than the outdated method of "circle of 5ths". I've been criticized by many expert guitarist, and I didn't get mad at them or feel as if they were just being snobs. I took what they said into consideration, and worked on improving myself. One of the greatest and most common criticisms I faced by many of them was I needed to establish a timing. One of those guitarist gave the best suggestion. He suggested that I practice with a metronome. So, I so happened to have a metronome on the guitar learning program I have, and started practicing. After a few months, I no longer needed a metronome. I'm not a snob. Snobs don't try to help people. I am always more than willing to give free lessons to anyone that wants to learn and asks for my help. I have never turned anyone down.
@Fuzzy Butkus Forgot to mention, I had a couple FaceBook friends ask me for tips. I took time out of my day and made a couple detailed example videos just for them. I'm not a snob or asshole.
@Jay Bee Yeah, with the red hair in the red guitar.
@@mds6387 I hated the circle of 5th's!
Hearing lots of different styles, metal looking chick wins the trophy for attitude, but the guy after her had the least "mistakes" and the best composition. Wish I was half as good when i was their age lol. Do the judges add points for the sweeps?
The speed skills are definitely SICK and I hope all of these young shredders are still out there doing their thing! But...you knew that was coming, right...but speed without melodic attachment is just speed. Like...chopping wood fast versus carving a sculpture. I wish all of the SoRockers the best and hope they are playing tonight!
My day:
"I saw this dude, he was playing up and down the neck!!!"
"Ya mean past the 3rd fret!!!"
"Yeah man!! I think I saw him play even past the 7th fret!!"
"Holy crapola!!"
A few years later (me playing extremely basic pentatonic scales)
"Dude you rock!!!!"
"Thanks man. *I'm on my way to guitar God level*"
Malmsteen rising force album debuts. Takes up tennis.
These kids have $2000 PRS's and I was lucky to have cinnamon on my toast growing up 😂
lol
Well at least I have a bass at all. It’s cheep, but a good bass. I’m lucky to have one
The ravages of capitalism
You had toast?!
@@edwardmilko2914 Yep. We had to heat up the bread if it got moldy...
I was waiting for Paul Gilbert to come out in disguise and just rip it. Didn't happen. Lauren just smoked each of those other players. Props to them all. I'm nowhere near that skill level.
I love these kids with the long hair. You just know somebody in the family plays and past it on to their kids
stop legato, learn to alternate pick everything. How do you know if you sound like everyone else? when all your fastest runs are descending with lots of pull-offs and your ascending runs do not use alternate picking
Want to sound different? DEVIATE. See Joe Bonamasso. He alternate-picks everything.
Don't use legato. IT IS LAZY, IT IS CLICHE'
Don't use the bar. IT IS CLICHE'
No tapping. IT IS CLICHE'
No sweep picking. IT IS CLICHE'
The key to making it as a guitarist is DEVIATE, figure out what everyone else's technique is (legato, bar, hammer on, pull offs) and DON'T DO IT. Avoid all cliches. It takes more thinking to create your own style but otherwise you sound like everyone else. Boring.
When your fastest runs are ASCENDING and you alternate-pick everything, that is a good start. Next learn how to assemble a bunch of cool-sounding runs into a single song. Most great songs were 'flash-of-inspiration' little cool runs, recorded for later, then put together several of them to make one song.
Which players were your favorite?
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 The young girl seemed the most promising. The others should look at 18 year old Yngwie Malmsteen's early performance. While I'm not a fan of his music, his alternate picking technique was solid as an 18 year old => ua-cam.com/video/RfohBoW6rGo/v-deo.html
The key is **keep the pick close to the string at all times, spend a lot of time concentrating on doing that and also on NOT MOVING your pick far from any string. EVER**
While **simultaneously concentrating on left hand - firm-and-accurate finger placement on the string. Pick alternately, do not move pick away from string - firm left hand fingering allows very light, barely-moving the pick over the string so you can keep the pick next to either side of the string at all times**
Are you a guitarist who wants to record in the studio? read this!
Play scales slowly and concentrate on firm left hand fingering and "almost-no-movement" right hand pick movement, sliding the heel of the hand up and down over the 6 strings in order to position the pick over the current string that needs to be (lightly!) picked.
START WATCHING AT TIME 3:43 - see how little he moves the pick. Most players get excited and don't realize how far away from the string they move the pick. For fast alternate picking you must not move the pick away from the string - EVER.
ua-cam.com/video/-qDYwnBNjfc/v-deo.html
**RECAP** - to prepare for studio recording - keeping in mind the studio is a very cold, MISTAKE-REVEALING, INACCURATE-PICKING-REVEALING environment - do 2 things:
1) play scales (initially) and concentrate on NOT MOVING THE PICK away from the string and LIGHTLY STROKING the string while ALTERNATE PICKING the string
2) simultaneously concentrate on very firm and very accurate left-hand fingering of the string
BAM spend 3 to 6 months an hour or so a day on that and you can record in the studio without being crushed by "all those years of innacurate playing." You use a metronome to practice at a slow tempo. Concentrate on not moving the pick away from the string and firm/accurate left hand fingering on the string. THEN INCREASE THE METRONOME TEMPO. Again, at this faster tempo, concentrate on not moving the pick away from the string and firm/accurate left hand fingering on the fretboard. THEN AGAIN INCREASE THE METRONOME TEMPO. Be patient! It will take some time to build up the speed because you're learning new very limited and accurate motions for both left and right hands, and this is a physical and mental change and a new habit that will take time to develop.
People wonder "why do so many studio musicians have to step in for guitarists of a band at recording time" THAT'S WHY. Guitarists in bands fail to take time to develop accurate picking technique in preparation for studio recording.
The $$ rate per hour of studio time PREVENTS most guitarists from fixing years of inaccurate, sloppy picking when it's time to record in the studio. And embarrassing to have to find a studio musician guitarist to play your leads in order to record your band's music. And then you have to learn accurate picking for the next record ANYWAY. Do it now instead.
What's wrong with "sweep" picking? All it is is alternate picking except you conserve a note in the direction of travel by "Sweeping" instead of alternating on that one note. Most of these players were young and sloppy and just not clean, which is understandable, I'm just sayin.
@@taylorj6177 Sweep picking is a cliche' technique. My intention was "do NOT spend precious hours of practice time on cliche' techniques if it is your intention to create an instantly identifiable guitar technique that, when heard, within a couple seconds every listener will know it's you."
We all grow up developing techniques that are cliche' techniques but you gotta spend some time thinking and answer the question "how can I sound unique?"
Every superstar guitarist did that.
It's like an auto race. There are the guys who always end up in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd position at the end of the race. Then there's "the best of the rest." Then behind them there's "the rest."
This is 100% identical to the old saying:
**THERE ARE INNOVATORS; THEN THERE ARE IMITATORS; THEN THERE ARE IDIOTS**
My other point was RECORDING. You have to ARTICULATE PRECISELY or the record company will say "we're not paying for studio time while you try to play one clean take, we're bringing in a studio guitarist." Now, you can try writing into the contract "as the guitarist in this band no one can ever be hired to play the guitar spots if I'm available" but unless you're a star act, no recording contract will be written.
So the point is, YOU GOTTA PRACTICE your accuracy, you gotta practice note articulation, you can't be sloppy, if you intend to record.
**AND DUE TO THAT** -- you will need to set time aside to practice. That's your commitment to being able to record, if recording is what you want.
And you have limited time. So if you want a unique, quickly-identifiable sound that identifies you, are you going to practice cliche' techniques? And be an "Imitator"?" or are you going to set aside a few days, or a week, or two, and figure out how to develop unique chops?
All in what outcome you want. If you just wanna play in bands to get laid, then who cares, focus on sounding like everyone else.
But if you want to make a career of it, and record, and have a unique sounding-technique - the answers is
1) do not spend precious practice time practicing cliche' chops
2) commit to some "thinking" time to come up with a list of chops/technique to try that no one else or very few people are doing.
That's what these guys did:
- Yngwie Malmsteen
- Ed VH
- Hendrix
- Jeff Beck
It's important though to point out that techniques that no one else is doing can be DERIVED, DEVELOPED from cliche' technique. EXAMPLE: Frank Zappa was using right hand fretboard tapping several years before Ed VH (and there are youtube videos of that) but Ed extended the technique.
And Frank Z probably copied it from someone. There is video on youtube of a foreign TV music show from the 1960s (maybe even the 1950s) in black and white where an older guitarist demonstrates tapping.
But EXTEND, do NOT just copy someone else. Try to sound unique.
Sweep picking is so easy it's like cheating and is not impressive, it's "over exposed". It impresses the guitarist a lot more than his audience, no question.
Cut them a break. They're kids. Most of them probably not seeing this video or reading your comment. Please take your metal elitist stuff outta here and go start a school or something. Take your knowledge and do something productive instead of picking on kids on the internet. Thanks! Have a great day 😎
it;s like start playing NOW! lol. nice talent under pressure however. as for the rig....it sucks.
need less focus on speed and more focus on playing the notes solidly
Yeah, but that's not what a shred contest is about, I guess.
IT does sound sloppy but hey, it's shedding.
I agree. Shredding does not equal sloppy horrible playing. All in good fun to me means you need to go practice more.
They're fricken kids! Lol! What do you expect?
I don’t think he’s trying to be rude it’s just obviously the kids are really fuckin good but why not play the speed you can legit play at
Should have given them something with a bit more gain to plug into.... Everyone of them needed a tad more to get those notes that barely get hit......
like to see kids learning guitar instead of staring at a cell phone
Yeah exactly!!
As we stare into a cell phone. 😂
Either stare at a cell phone or playing guitar doing drugs
FUCKING AMEN!
Ok boomer
I know these are just 'kids' and all but somebody needs to explain to them that playing fast does not equal playing well.
It's a shred contest, they're supposed to play fast, dog.
Shredding is PLAYING FASTEST
The faster the better that's what Shredding is all about you missed the point some where
These Kids are your future endeavors in Lead Guitarist
@@cyb3r3vil30 no I did not miss the point. Playing fast but sounding like dog shit is just fast dog shit. Missing notes and having absolutely no sense of melodic tempo is NOT shredding. Otherwise these kids could just get up there and hammer the fuck out of a high E as fast as humanly possible until time was called.
Fuck off Mark
Stereotypical Rock n Roll judges. Long hair, bad posture and out of shape.
Opeth , Fleshgod Apocalypse among others!!!
Cool KIDS!!!!
Man as a fellow guitarist I kind of wish these kids had more time to really get into there kick. Because I mean I feel like there rushing a little bit and some of these kids you could tell with 30 more seconds it would be on like donkey Kong. Great talent though man
The control of the tempo was not maintained by most of the contestants. 45 seconds would have been kinder to this group.
I know I've seen ALL these dudes at Guitar Center..
Better MC would've helped. Couldn't figure out to set a 30 second timer. Introduced the first pair and then stopped introducing them. They all deserved to be introduced properly. And finally, asked for applause early on and didn't later. They deserved better. Thoroughly enjoyed the budding guitarists for sure. Keep on rocking!

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren! 😊🙏🕉💪💚
@mike toni dude wtf
mike toni dood she’s my age 😐😐😐
Me: yes FBI?
Wow wtf
mike toni xd
Noah and Lauren , the two best ....... with Lauren being the winner as she is more active ......
@ 5:21 Lauren makes an appearance. For us Lauren fans.
She's on tour now!
Team 1 (featuring channel favorite Lauren Conner)
7/24: City Winery - Nashville, TN
7/25: Open Chord - Knoxville, TN
7/26: Woodward Theater - Cincinnati, OH
7/27: Hard Rock Cafe - Pittsburgh, PA
7/28: Pike Room - Pontiac, MI
7/29: MoPop Festival - Detroit, MI
the first kid I think wa the best he was actually playing around on scales that made musical sense
Brandon George it’s not only about making sense and being good musically, but it’s about appealing to the ear yknow?
awh I wanted her to win but really, the guy after just took off lol XD Nice stuff guys !
Suggestion: Do it the way the pros do, time the shred hand-off in measures not seconds. Makes it easier to time by players and the audience to follow the guitar conversation...
Sweeps, pick finger arpeggios, horse whinnies and harmonic dive bombs are ok. Play a melody that makes people want to her it again. That's the real lesson. Skater-boys and surf-doggies shred. Your mission is to make someone believe you're making more melody than noise, n'est-ce pas?
too bad they only got 25 seconds of uninterrupted shred .... like if they went over a half second or so it would have totally ruined the whole show ..... somebody tell the MC to shut the hell up .... not like he couldnt have just said TIME .....
I suppose the idea was for them to finish up rather than just stop.
That Metallica dude better win because the stakes are pretty high after taking your pants off
i cant believe lauren connor didnt advance . i think her the kid from seattle and i think the one kids name is logan and the one kid with the maiden killers shirt. actually their were two kids with maiden shirts the second one should have advanced but thats life.in a way this is a good thing this will harden them and make them even more determined to be the best ripping guitar player,and if their feeling sad just put on some stevie ray or some muddy waters.ROCK ON
Lauren made AllStars, and she's going on tour so that's probably what she was concentrating on. The semi-finals are uploading right now.
She was better than a couple of them, but good luck to her from here out
Bruh... Buckethead signature?! and no KILLSWITCH?!?!
some of these kids are pretty good, worst part is the emcee could get the crowd going and the musicians as well.
Amazing performance by Lauren Conner !!
Youth music is where it's all at!
Im sensing some EVH influence here ...
Except for the bass player... he was channeling Jaco.
Definitely EVH, and a bit of Vai. Though it could be argued that Vai was heavily influenced by EVH's use of the whammy bar.
EVH? Extraverrestrial Hintelligence?
a bit to much noodlers i think.
school of rock should teach a little chuck berry i think
Lauren was excellent though
And let the band jump in by laying a rhythmic groove so we can all join in on the action
Wow you guys and girl really blew me away with your guitar shredding hell that's a lot better than what I can do.
man, these kids are way cooler than i was at that age. keep shredding \m/,
Bass Player Killed It!!!! Slap Like !
Dude tried to play a BASS through a GUITAR amp. Total fail, sounded like ass. Probs woulda been cool if he'd had a right amp tho, maybe.
You realize he's plugged into the gallen right?
the bassist was the best out of all of them💀💀💀💀
why do I get a feeling of getting too old? lol
All so cliched. That is a shame. What passes for shred is really just a series of scales runnin runnin runnin. Not a whole lot of creativity. Imposing themselves upon the art. Do not tempt the muse. Not finishing their lines. Sloppy, not soulful. They need to absorb some BLUES. And filter their performances through their true selves and not what they think they should be playing. They are thinkin far too much. Each one of them. Please do not think for 1 damn second that I am "hatin". I am not. Perhaps one day, if they are lucky, they will find their musical voice. Their own musical voice.
They are all very talented, I wouldn't want to be a judge!
lauren conner!!!!!!!
You took those kids from they parents 1 yo and forced to learn shredding 16 hrs a day?! Confess!
No, they came voluntarily!
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 This is insane. Such skills! Very impressive.
