just thought i'd share.

 

[macalpine88]

thats rather helpfull thanks

 

[Prophecy420]

Cool.

 

[WayneCustom7]

Yeah and check out how fast Francesco Ferrari can plya...wowie! I know soam people don't care for it, but I think its cool!

 

[Drew]

Francesco can't quite touch Rusty Cooley, though- for sheer "dear lord, honey, cover the children's eyes" shock effect, check out "The Seven Deadly Sins," particularly "Wrath."

-D

 

[Metal Ken]

i dunno dude, have you seen the videos of some of his stuff? like the SUspension video?

 

[Drew]

yeah.

They're close enough that, honestly, if it came right down to it, I'd hate to call it one way or the other- both scare the crap out of me, but if you're ckeching out one, you should check out the other. My gut feeling is that Cooley's the faster of the two, but Ferari's been playinjg WAY less that Cooley, so time might change that.

This is amazing ...I posted Francesco's videos on a few other forums, and most people jumped on me for doing so, or atleast didn't find it of any use, f&*^ers! Now at last I find people who appreciate these guys for what they are capable of...I'm gonna go and check out this Rusty Cooley...thanks!

 

[Metal Ken]

I still need to get a hold of Francesco's CD. i got Rusty's first one, its pretty badass.

 

[WayneCustom7]

Well I just watched some of his vids...amazing...man he looks tiny playing that 8 stinged monster, yet he sounds like a giant...as far as comparing...I think they are both SONIC DEMONS, definately not human!

 

[Vacant]

I just fell in love with this site.

 

[Drew]

yep, agreed.

Check out the Marcel Cohen lessons, there's a pentatonic lick he does that's pretty cool, off memory I think it's three-notes per string up and three-ish per string blues down- I like how he lays it out on the fretboard.

-D

 

[Battle-axe]

Yup, this site i just awsome.....have been going there for a year now and i jst love it.

 

[Drew]

I've been meaning to buy the Rusty Cooley instructional DVD's- probably starting with "The Art of Picking" and going from there, as my picking technique is a joke. Good stuff.

-D

Another good one is www.theshredzone.com

It hasnt got the same virtuoso level of instructors, but its got some good theory articles and stuff on there

 

[METAL_ZONE]

great find!

 

[David]

Shane... Gibson...


and tom kopyto's on there too, his lesson samples on there are pretty lame, but that dude can play! Someone here interviewed him.

 

[Mark. A]

I got Rob Johnson Shred tactics 1 and 2, all Rusty Cooley instructionals and all Francesco off that site.

On the way is Theodore Ziras's instructional, go to his site www.theodoreziras.com and download the videos hyper speed and sweep madness.

Francesco's playing's improved tenfold since he made those videos. Check out his website and listen to the samples from his new album, and the stuff he's recorded with Kyle Honea; his tone and phrasing are lightyears ahead of what he displayed on his first album.
I think it's a shame he takes so much flack on the guitar forums (although by all accounts he's pretty good-natured about it) as he has some really cool, unique ideas. He just needs a little time to refine them more. Given a couple more years he should be a really monster player.
