Here's a "Betcha Can't Play This" by the guitarists from God Forbid (whoever they are). At least the second guy makes an excuse for playing a riff, but that first guy's sweeps = blargh

Nice try ... the lead is really bad and the riff is not really cool.

Who's the ignoramus who put "Bectha" in the video? lmao

Those guys talk too much and Doc's thing was boring as crap.

Not that I can do any better but...

That Ralph guy sounded sloppy to me.

And wtf was with God Forbid's tone?

did you not see the cranks in the background?

 

[DDDorian]

Yeah, I thought Ralph's actual lick was sloppy, but the playing on Dime's guitar was much better and, to my ears, pretty cool.

Just a heads-up; Guitar World are going to relaunch their website at the beginning of next year and I'm guessing most of the mp3's of past BYCPT columns are gonna disappear, so download them now if you ever intend to listen to them again.

The Dragonforce ones were a complete joke...they look like they've been playing 1 year tops.

 

[noodles]

Wow, the God Forbid stuff was almost as big of a joke as Dragonforce.

I still think the best ones are the two that Broderick did, but Guitar World rejected. The first one is some insane tapping lick, and the second is some insane string skipping lick.

Meh, just a buisness move. They probably wouldnt like if if their readers' heads imploded.

I'm pretty sure that string-skipping lick was accepted, they had two licks in the magazine and one was a string-skipping lick. I have the two they accepted (plus the one they rejected, Chris Broderick put up a transcription on his forum) tabbed out, I'll put it up sometime.

^ I agree. Those were some awesome vids.

Here's one from Guitar World columnist Jimmy Brown. Cheesy, but kinda cool.

Betcha Can't Play This with Alex Skolnick! It's cool that he's contributed a jazz lick, but I gotta say, I'm slightly disappointed. Apparently they filmed three licks though so maybe the others will surface sometime.

A mate of mine has the Guitar World magazine from a few years back that has a Betcha Can't Play This lick from him that was much cooler, but he won't hurry up and give me the damn magazine so I can transcribe it already, heh.

 

[DDDorian]

Turns out I was right, they DID film three licks with Skolnick, and here's the second (much cooler) lick. Enjoy!

WTF,
I can play that, that wasen't impressive in anyway.

 

[DDDorian]

^^You have to take the title "Betcha Can't Play This" with a grain of salt. Most of the licks really aren't difficult, I just think it's cool that Skolnick isn't giving cliche shred licks and that he's going out of his way to explain the theory behind them, so they're more lick concepts than just finger patterns. Skolnick's more than proved his mettle with Tetsament and his jazz trio as far as I'm concerned.

If you wanna hear some of the worst licks, check out the ones contributed by the In Flames guy, or Dan Spitz from Anthrax. Hell, guys from Lamb Of God and God Forbid contributed riffs, for christ's sake...
