20 Greatest Shred Guitarists Of All Time

2011-06-14T20:13:00.001-04:00

THANK YOU MusicRadar.com ! !

"Best shred moment: Guitars Suck

Having released several albums under the moniker Bumblefoot, Brooklyn-based shredder Ron Thal took over the Guns N’ Roses guitar spot in 2006, replacing Buckethead. A master of almost every aspect and style of guitar playing you can name, Thal is most notable for his playing with a thimble worn on the fourth finger of his picking hand, which he uses to tap notes above and beyond the 24th fret with amazing accuracy"

Black Out Baby

2011-02-21T23:38:00.000-05:00

I did a challenging performance art event on Tue. Feb. 15th that friends of mine created, called Blackout Baby. 30 minutes of playing electric and acoustic guitar in complete darkness. As I played, there were things going on in the room, but neither the audience or myself knew what it was (I kinda knew, but couldn't see...) There was a camera crew with night-vision cameras filming it. The next day, the video was edited and everyone in the audience got to *see* what they had unknowingly experienced - sex, food, music...

After the show (and after everyone smelled the delicious Argentinian steak at one point in the show) we were treated to a delicious dinner at Buenos Aires Restaurant in NYC (gracias Ismael!!)

This first show was more of a test run, but we hope to take the party on the road - some talk about Brazil, Moscow... here's some of the night-vision vid...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQvGdyX9tOw

The guitar tone in the video isn't the prettiest as I gave them a computer-direct-out audio signal, no classical acoustic sound on the vid either, but you get the idea of the overall experience... this was our first run through. Should get crazier from here...

Big rainstorm today - flooding, hail... I get home and there's two guys taking apart the sewer in front of my house. A kitten, not much bigger than my hand, got swept up in the flooding right into the sewer, and was gonna drown. Got her out, she was ice cold, covered in dirt, shaking... took her inside, cleaned her up with warm water and cat shampoo, flea treatment, a can of kitten food - little thing was pretty hungry. Kept her wrapped in a blanket and held her 'til she warmed up, an hour or two. Neighbor's taking her 'til she has a permanent home. Very sweet, gave my chin a well-needed cleaning. Big blue eyes, part Siamese - nicknamed her "Toe". Jen took a pic of her...
