Where dilettantism, hubris, frenzy and genius beautifully (or painfully) mingle....

A good chunk of those are 'shred' parody videos that YouTube removed. .

I read about that finnish guy who did those parodies, I jus't wasn't aware of the fact some of them appeared in this video. I like his approach and the results are hilarious :) Too bad youtube and the music industry lawyers went through a humor-otomy and annoy creative people with copyright claims or similar bs.

But watching Bumblefoot messing up the Night Train Solo for real (4:22) because of that stupid starwars helmet is just gold :)

Yeah, some of them are absolute gold.

The only reason I recognized the shred video stuff was because it was constantly posted on TGP when they were new and so I'd seem them all. They were all brilliantly done.
