I am hoping that we can post some kick ass guitar performances here in this thread.

I'll start off with this one:
Michael Angelo Batio Playing a Double Guitar

at first I was like 'whatev' but then 17 seconds in it gets kinda really impressive.

By the way, this is the thread I've been waiting for.

My favorite SMB guitar vid:

The guy is very clearly a Gilbert fan lol.

Wow.

This guy should be called Master Batio. Any person with the last name closely resembling Bation, should have the first name Master by law.

Seriously though, that was the greatest thing ever.

In all honesty, this video doesn't have Jeff Beck's greatest guitar, but holy shit... it is a blast from the past and the solo at the very end ain't too shabby.

Paco de Lucia is too good for a guitar pick. Cool

Wow.. he really is too good for a pick.

Ok,

So this next one is technically not guitar, but banjo is so close, and this is so crazy that no one is going to argue it.

Bela Fleck playing a banjo... with his face.

Bring the video to about 1:25 to see him start. Also worth noting that this is just him tooling around on stage, it isn't his planned stuff.

I have seen him live before in a small <1000 person crowd where people all gathered around a small stage and sat on the floor. Getting him and Victor Wooten on the same stage with such an intimate setting was amazing.

Some more of Lucia, but also with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin. Three amazing guitarists with their instruments of choice. Simply awesome.

Also, the part starting at 2:47 is beyond ridiculous. Most people have trouble doing that on an ELECTRIC guitar.

Is there any produced version of the three of them?

I would buy a CD of those guys together. Absolutely amazing.

Posted: Jul 05 2008 10:22 pm

Yup. According to Wikipedia, there have been 3 albums produced by those guys.

I don't own any of these albums as of yet myself, though. I'd like to hear them sometime!

enshin, thanks for posting Little Wing, maybe my favorite instrumental ever.

That and 'Bold As Love' are my fave Hendrix tunes, and I was reluctant on Stevie's cover...but I'm glad i listened to it a while back!

Surprisingly, I really like John Mayer's cover of 'Bold As Love' too

"Floods" is a great song. I've actually had that video on my favorites list on YouTube for a while now. "EVERYBODY SMOKE HEROIN!!!"

Also, Reb Beach:

Yup, the guy from Winger. A guitar virtuoso from an 80's glam metal band?! C.C. DeVille ain't got shit on this man!

I will marry (or at least whore myself out to) the first man I meet that can replicate this.
