Rusty Cooley...

[RobbM]

anyone check out his new 8-string demo videos? I think I shit my pants a few times while watching so I suggest having some Depends on.....

I'd seriously hate to see the sheet music for some of that....

those are awesome videos. those 8strings would prolly be kinda awkward cuza their size to anyone lacking rusty's skill, but those vids are real nice.

you can definatly tell hes still adjusting to it...man those fanned frets are trippy..

 

[soulshred]

ı dont know anything about 8 string concept why the hell the fretboard and the frets look fucked up?

 

[RobbM]

theres actually 2 different scale lengths on 1 fretboard. think of it as Les paul on top and fender on bottom....

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

He's got some killer sweeps, speed, and some cool Vai-esque melodies in there. I love it! Rusty always has cool melodic ideas going on.

Those fanned frets must indeed take some getting used to.

rusty is one of my favorites and i like him more and more every time i hear him play.....hes a really nice guy too

 

[RobbM]

yeah, I really like him too. Is there really ANY guitarist out there that can top that speed and prescision?

You should check out the Rusty thread at therealallanholdsworth.com
Everyone seems a lot more accepting of his ablities here.

 

[RobbM]

theres a few idiots over there that bash him just cause they cant come anywhere close to him..there like "he has no passion, hes just doing excersices that isnt real music blah blah" obviously from people who have never heard any of his music with Outworld, which kicks ass..

Sure, I know one...

 

[RobbM]

in your dreams Bro...

 

[Vlakey]

The guy's insane, that's for sure...

But, playing aside, that 8-string sure is trippy... the first ptime I saw an 8-string was on Meshuggah's last album, and they had normal frets (normal like... not.. like this )

 

[RobbM]

damn whats with all those POD racks?

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

in your dreams Bro...

No, last summer.

I talked with a guy that could outplay Rusty Cooley, at least as far as speed and technique are concerned. Why is that so hard to imagine?

 

[RobbM]

I thought you were saying you could...

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I thought you were saying you could...

Oh, I get it. No, I would never even come close to Rusty's technique. Never.
