My favoroite part is Phil-X 'simulating' EVH playing the solo on STHeaven.

The story of rebuilding the backing track was pretty cool in itself. I love PhilX but I’d vote for Eric Johnson’s version of the solo.

I watched this yesterday. I thought it was excellent and actually really liked Ricks Framptonesque lead. All 3 did interesting leads

I've been enjoying some Rick Beato videos and this also came up in the suggested list. This was interesting (even though getting actual EVH or some other guitar players would be more interesting, like Brian May or Mathias Jabs (and many others).

This is definitely a breakthrough genre of entertainment for me. I watched Rick's break down of "Smells like teen spirit" and it totally shattered what I thought I knew (in reality "didn't know") about music. Says Rick: "Some people will say that Kurt didn't know what he was doing. That doesn't matter! I know what he's doing and I'll tell you what he's doing".

I liked Nirvana, but I always thought that the harmony was rather primitive, and I thought that Kris Novoselic played all roots, at least in this song. Whoosh :lol:

And, of course, his recurring rants on how everything is now recorded to a click track, cut and pasted, that's also really profound. He points out an example of Dave Grohl playing behind the beat on Smells Like Teen Spirit. Paul Davids also does a neat demo of how varied the tempo could be before everything was "standardized". Rather ironic - the recording software being used to demonstrate how/why it killed rock :mrgreen:
