Hello people,
I recently discovered this dude and I've spent 2 days drooling on his technique, he is polish, he makes weird expressions with his face, he plays 2 leads by Bach on either a Double Neck guitar or a simple one, He RULES.

Try and download his videos here, the ones by J.S Bach. He really IS a guitar genius. Check.

Who said Michael Angel Batio mastered ambidexterity ?


Oh and of course, this thread is open for everyone willing to discuss that specific guitar technique, I've been practicing it for one year now but I can't pull out something very nice. Damn hard. And this Adam Fulara slapped me soo hard...

Great !!! I need to check Jag Panzer some day But actually Chris doesn't play with both hands at the same time like a piano. Amazing anyway lol.

I was thinking Kiko Loureiro was the big chief in this technique but I think I was really wrong... although he still composes the most beautiful two handed licks, it hold a part of technicality but it's so sweet to hear.

This is too much for me to bare... This kid is very good indeed.

Well hammering is tapping a note but most of the time it's after picking one or many notes before I guess.

/\ finally someone who recognizes buckeathead!!! buckethead is just incredible, and i do dare say, that though this is my opinion, but he is far better than petrucci, and a lot of other progressive guitars.

not taht that is remotly close to the actual topic, so i'll just shut up now

Can Buckethead be as ambidextrous as Fulara ? The tapping licks I saw from him were just some fast alien chaotic stuff, I do like it, but sorry, compared to playing two leads by Bach... that's childplay... IMO.

Damn, that Polish guy is pretty funny. Playing some serious hard stuff and looking like that.

But every time I visit the Musician's Corner, my own guitar-playing skills are annihilated.

I just suck.

/\ haha, oddly enough, your heading banging avatar is looking like his is playing a riff of 'light of day, day of darkness' song by green carnation that is played around 49th minute till about the 52nd minute(yeah, a LONG song!)



though this is off topic, but the other day, i decided to take a few of my friends behind our old highschool and i told them to bring their guitars and amps, and i brougth my guitar and amp as well. we totally suck! like we werent even jamming. we just played out own stuff. and we were pretty loud, coz a lil after, we had these old chinese couples come around us and after every grand pause we did, they started clapping. so we looked at em and were like 'the fuckyou guys doing? we suck! so why are you clapping?' and one man said something to me in chinese and walked away. then all the couples started going away. then out of random, this group of lil kids came up to me, and one of them was almost hypnotized by my amp. so i asked him if he could play. his friends started laughing, and said, 'yeah he can SORT of play' so i gave him my guitar, and the dude played cliffs and dovers by eric johnson! and then after taht he played something by Yngwie malmsteen, and then some romeo stuff, and then he finished it with 'for the love of god' by steve vai. me and my friends were like :O! the kid absolutly butchered us! and he was rather young as well. like comparing to us 18-19 year olds, the kid was about 12. so i asked him how long he has been playing for, and he said for about 5 years. we got butchered. but hey, he said he loved my guitar more than the fender that my friend had. thats cool, coz i made my guitar. so that was the only thing that made me feel a bit 'better' about myself that day...
