Five monster players pick up their guitars and breathe shred-fire in this cranked up collab track.
Andy James smashes through the gates with his signature brand of speed, pin-point accuracy, every kind of picking and heaps of melody. After nailing the finish with some huge vibrato, he hands things over to Marco Sfogli. Wailing his way onto centre stage with a whammy intro, Marco uses slides, wide intervals, odd note groupings, alternate picking and lightning legato to ramp up the pace until he’s hit bullet speeds. Next, it’s Justin Derrico who fuses quick and slow bends with slides, hybrid-picking, insane efficiency and a dive-bomb finish for a solo that can only really be described as “completely nuts”.
Then comes the groove… and it slaps. After tapping his way through the intro, Al Joseph adds some extra special sauce to proceedings with incredible phrasing that incorporates sweep-picking, high-speed scale runs and octave slides. To finish, it’s Igor Paspalj, who starts things off with an eye-popping intro, which sets up a neo-classical vibe filled with nearly every trick in the shredding arsenal. There could have been more to come, but at this point, we ran out of notes.
This track is a challenge, but in that challenge lies a huge host of techniques that can be used in all manner of contexts. In your compositions and jamming sessions, there are ideas that can be used over and over again.
Inside this pack, you’ll get the complete collaboration video/audio as well as the five solo sections. Each of the artists’ solos comes with video/audio, tab/notation and both solo length and extended backing tracks.
Over the top, sometimes crazy and always mind-blowing, this collab track is an incredible insight into the minds of some seriously stupendous shredding titans. Chops to last a lifetime.
