Weapons Grade Anti-Shred
With the revival of the shred movement in the last ten years or so, there seems to be a guy blowing out swept diminished arpeggios and piles of hemidemisemiquavers on every street corner.
This has caused an imbalance in fundamental musical forces of the universe. The ratio of shred to soul is a universal constant that never varies. The overabundance of face-melting mechano-chops demands that an equal amount of that which “…washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” be created somewhere in order for equilibrium to be maintained.
As there are few willing to answer the anti-shred clarion call, those who do become conduits of almost limitless emotive force in order to cancel out the hordes of note-spewing shred warriors.
Jeff Beck may be the single largest deposit of anti-shredium known to man. The single performance in the video below nullified the whole output for the year (> 10^12 notes) from Andy James, Jeff Loomis and Rusty Cooley.
Jeff flaunts his god-like shred crushing abilities by having a bad-ass mofo for a bass player. We are talking near-Wooten level badass. Her name is Tal Wilkenfeld. If you don’t know about her, prepare to have your mind blown.
Well, here it is, enjoy!
