Good playing I guess...I'm not really into Neoclassical instrumentals tho. Especially when theyre based on pre-existing music. I'm more interested in composing your own music. Thats when your genius really shines through. I hope they can compose music as well as they can play because thats not always the case with some shredders.
A very sniffy reply Mr Infectious :(
The piece was, according to the video, arranged by Jerryc (who plays it far better than the kid but with a poor quality video).
I'm surprised at the playing is "good I guess". You don't have to be into Neoclassical instrumentals to appreciate the broad range of techniques and styles used and the rather nifty arrangement itself. It's not something I can get anywhere near playing personally and it's not a style I'm used to but I think it's pretty bloody good.
I'm no great fan of shredders but these guys actually lend it a musicality which is often lost in the search for pure technique.
Stay cool :cool:
