Insane guitar technique

[EL34]

I just happened to run across this

This guys skill level is off the charts

[sluckey]

Thanks! I just listened to about 30 minutes of his stuff.

mesmerising 

[EL34]

I looked at some of his other stuff on youtube
I like this one the best
The tuning peg stuff he does sounds cool

[tubenit]

Very nice!  Thanks for sharing it.

Wow! I wonder what kind of sputnik guitar is that?! I bet he also does the quadruple toe loop straight into the triple salchow? Big props to the young commie for speaking English too!

terrific - also that has to be the world's friendliest capo!

Also possibly the best tuners ever.  How does he change tunings on the fly that easily, mine always make 'ping, ding' type noises when retuning (nut I'm sure) and tend to be pretty inconsistent about how fast each string adjusts... guess he just did it 1000's of times until he had the feel of his tuners down? ugh!

astounding stuff.

He's got a roller nut and some fancy tuners on there. (what is that extra hardware on top of the headstock?)

Check out "partial" capos...they don't make contact with all the strings.

I've been watching this for a few months now and I'm convinced that there is a backing track going on. I'm still not convinced that this is actually a live filmed performance because the timing is off. But, please don't think I'm saying anything negative. This guy makes me look like I should be selling Avon.

It may be a backing track to his album.
I would not blame him for doing that

That's a tough tune to get through

[sluckey]

(what is that extra hardware on top of the headstock?)

My guess is a digital tuner. Might be helpful when twisting the tuners while playing.

Oh, I see that now.
I actually meant the little shiny hardware that kinda looks like jax (the old toy- jax)

I definitely don't blame him for the backing track. I had to point it out to make myself feel better about the fact that I could never do this.

Lol, I just noticed your Avatar
You can expect the lawsuit any time now from Ritchie

That is an actual picture of me questioning why I don't have a roller nut and some really cool locking tuners.

It just doesn't make sense, since I was the first to do everything else cool on the guitar. I thought of this long before this kid was born but I was very busy designing my hats.

This kid must be one of my many illegitimate love children....like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Bonamassa and, oh yeah, the demon seed, Steve Morse. They all had the ultimate blessing of receiving my greatness through groupie insemination.

I could not have said it any better than that. What a beautiful statement of fact!   You are the Man.

See what I did there?

PS Joe Bannanaramah is nowhere near the elite group of Ritchie's offspring and is obviously the love child of Shaggy and Yoko - with similar combined talent...
