This week's shredder is Mark Tremonti. He's a great player, and a fantastic songwriter. He's written huge songs for Creed, Alter Bridge and now his solo band, Tremonti. He's got a great sense of melody and song structure, and on top of that, he's a good singer and an amazing guitarist!
This week, I want to feature the guitar skills of Mark Tremonti. He's kind of an underrated guitar player, since he tends to play more for the song instead of the shred, but when he cuts loose, he can really cut loose! I found these videos a while back, with guitar shred king Rusty Cooley and Mark trading off licks.
Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated with guitar playing. It looks cool, sounds cool, gets girls, and makes people money. What more could you want out of one activity? The only downside?
The years spent building the chops, alone in your room, missing out on all the fun. In hopes of getting all the girls, money, and fun later.
I've seen a few of these videos, and each one keep upping the tempos. This guy (Taylor Sterling) plays the song up to 999bpm (or bmp as his girlfriend wrote it on the board). Wait, if he has a girlfriend, how does he have time to practice enough to get this fast?
My favorite part of the video...the first two comments:
