…more sterling blog output, I have to link you to this, over at MPR’s “Loophole”.
Jeff Horwich – himself rather peripatetically musical – notes:
The Smarts turned me on to the “Shreds” ouvre at a rehearsal last night, and they crack me up.
Video of famous guitar solos, stripped of audio, which is replaced with a truly crappy performance.
The Creed bit had me laughing so hard I hurt my sides. Which didn’t prepare me for the one with Slash; I almost had a stroke.
As Jeff notes, it may be funny only to musicians.
As for me? I might just grab some video and start a few of my own…
I think I’ve seen something like that… video of Yngvie with supberly bad dubs.
Hillarious.
I can supply you with authentic “truly crappy performance” audio.
I took a few years of guitar lessons and it reminded me of how I played.
Santana’s needs more cowbell. 🙂
