[Paul Thompson 'Hooligan']

Hi all -

Came across this vid on YouTube of a young guitarist playing a version of Canon, by Pachelbel...

YouTube - guitar

Simply awesome..... and nearly 42 million views...

Anyone seen anything better?

 

[Simon Rider]

Off the hook !

Although this guy's not too bad either..

YouTube - Insanely Amazing Guitar Solo

 

[Paul W]

Not sure about better but Eddie is up there and a while ago.....
YouTube - Eruption Guitar Solo--Eddie Van Halen

 

[Ron McCall]

YouTube - The NEW Canon rock!!!

I actually like this one better.

 

[Simon]

Amazing.....but really......don't you think these guys need to GET OUT MORE!

 

[Simon Rider]

What ? that they've committed to be the best they can be at something makes them sad somehow? And who's to say they don't 'get out'...

 

[Charlie Farley]

Its one thing to listen to and be influenced by and replicate your predecessors,
its another PLANET involved here, to be devastatingly original and truly innovative .
They will always look ordinary compared to Jimi .

If you've ever had the chance to read ( or in some instances, ask ) the opinions of Page, Clapton , John Le , and of more recent vintage, John Squire etc, they will tell you the same.

Ok, the guy can play , but so can thousands. Aren't they just studying and copying technique ? Soon pc's will outplay them. Queue at Walmart please.

I am one of those guys and I get out plenty.

When I am out I build GT40's.

Thanks

How about this special painted one.
I've only yet 3 painted.
No video, just cool pics.

 

[Dave]

Yeah i'm currently learning Cannon.. and well, i'm not bad on the guitar but it's a tad difficult!!
But i'll get there.... any excuse to pick up my PRS

bravissimo Tjello, too nice work!

Some customers here asked me for similar airbrush works, but I never accepted cause really no idea of the value for a similar work.

I won't disagree with the like of Jimi, Clapton, etc. being still the icons to
compare to - as well as Eddie. But, it takes some skill to master what these
kids are doing. And, that skill at such a young age, can really lead to
greatness. Not true in all cases, but ...

I myself haven't really picked up my guitar in ages, so I am a little in awe
with these guys, but also know what I would be like if I had that kind of
free time. I also hope to actually build a few guitars of my own some day.

To Paolo,

it's difficult to put a price-tag on it.
It varies from 500,- up to 1000 euro's. It's different than airbrush on canvas or helmets even. Musicians have high standards, and working with guitars is a whole different (and difficult) kind of job. Preparing (like sanding) is crucial, even as the prayed layers. Then clearcoat, sanding, clearcoat, sanding etc. And important... polishing. I have a working realationship with LondonCity guitars and a Ibanez guitar builder/technisian (worked with Vai). They give me tips.
It's hard work... but so beautyfull when it's done.
