[MetalSteph]

From Blabbermouth

Guitarist Chris Broderick (JAG PANZER, NEVERMORE) has uploaded a "five-octave arpeggio" video clip that was done for Guitar World's "Betcha Can't Play This" DVD. Check it out at this location.

Chris has been playing guitar since he was eleven years old and has been teaching for the last 14 years. Styles range from classical, rock, blues, and jazz. He started taking lessons at 14 years of age studying guitar as well as voice, violin, and piano. Chris has a degree in classical guitar music performance at the University of Denver and the Lamont School of Music. He has performed in many master classes including ones given by David Russell, Benjamin Verdery, and his primary instructor, Ricardo Iznaola. In addition, Chris has taken classes such as jazz improvisation, chord voicing, advanced music theory, and sight-reading.

From what I heard, Chris recorded three segments for and upcoming issue of Guitar World and they used the other two for the mag/dvd, they passed on this one cause it was for a 7-string and the mag wanted clips that could appeal to the 6-stringers as well.

holy shit... i love the taping sweeps, when i saw him do that shit at Jaxx I damn near pissed myself.

I play the same model guitar. But no, I betcha I can't play it like that...

Most guitar mags pander to the beginners, it's always tabs of 'Cemetary Gates', 'Walk' and 'Raining Blood'. There isn't anything really difficult like this to work up to, which is why I never bother buying guitar mags.

Ahh yes, the old "pretend its a keyboard, and just push buttons" approach...


fun stuff

and no, I cant play that

 

[The Moth God]

Good, good stuff.

Thats pretty slick, it's actually not REALLY that difficult.. It just looks like a bitch. Like any kind of "shred" arpeggio, it sounds far more difficult then it really is because of the huge intervals inbetween each note. But still, it'd probably take a good couple weeks to get that one down. I'm gonna work on that one now.

jesus fucking god....

I'd pay to see that.

 

[Super Mahrio]

jesus fucking god is right!

The problem for most people on something like this comes from the fact that most people do not possess adequate dexterity on their picking hand nor can they seperate the rhythms of the two hands. It's quite difficult.

P.s. - Steph thanks a ton for the heads up on this, it's extremely fucking impressive

Hmm, yeah. Thats true .. I probably sat in my room for a good few years trying to work out my kinks there, and I still have way to many. I'll never be anywhere NEAR that good. I'm just really lucky and naturally good at the legato style like Chris is doing there. My picking technique and my sweeping though, forget that. I suck at that stuff.
