I promise it's worth your time.

Carlos Santana Shreds

Eddie Van Halen Shreds

Joe Satriani Shreds

Gary Moore Shreds

and last but not least...

Paco De Lucia Shreds

i'm sorry but that was one of the most boring things i've ever watched..

the crowd claps when he's just doing subtle slides that dont even make any sounds.. like what the hell?

although three neck guitar would be sweet..

am i correct or wasn't it hat and beard? and all the sudden i see hat and bread?

watch it again.

these videos had me laughing for days.

His facial expression are the funniest thing though...
Gives a whole new meaning to guitar masturbation.

That reminds me so much of the guitar players in my high school that showed off thinking they were really great while they were just terrible! :D

Robert Fripp doing his thing

I don't like "text book" music.

Did he shred at the end? 'cause I clicked out of it half way through because what he was doing up until then was nothing special, nothing that I couldn't do myself anyway.

i was going go say that everyone forgot about fripp.

God what awful music that is, I could not get more than 45 seconds. And what a cocky look he has, prick.

this is all overdubbed!!! thats not steve vai playing. that's why this shit is so funny.

shredding is overrated anyways. it was corrupted by cock rock and hair metal.

jerry G jams with Santana and Jordan, no shredding necessary! take that crappy one scale guitar players!

I think he just ate a bag of dicks. Or should.

that was fucking terrible

...
I meant to put up a picture. It's not going to happen.

I'm surprised that some of you still haven't figured out that these videos are overdubbed. It took me a minute, but sheeesh! Whoever made these must be a genius.

The Santana one is pure gold, by the way.

It was done pretty well. I noticed it wasn't always in sync. But then most stuff on Youtube isn't.

metallica's video for one-the double bass drum section is awesome.

i love how sometimes he'll randomly throw in a quote of iron man or something like that.

mick barr shredding

Brilliant. This has been one of my favourite functions of youtube, the ability to watch frankly appaling shredding which, nonetheless, is entirely awesome. If you can't appreciate shredding, well, you have no taste for the patently ridiculous and are therefore destined to work in an estate agents for minimal pay.

Iron Maiden. It's a good one.

Exactly, I knew after a few seconds that the audio couldn't be Vai and I scrolled down and looked at the comments too. Oh well, many people have no eye for detail, and in this case, no ear either.

Haha, all the other people responding in this thread sure look foolish and gullible.

The thing is, I bet less people would fall for one like this featuring Santana because more people have heard "Black Magic Woman" or have seen some of Santana's Woodstock performance. But, when it comes to Steve Vai, haha, how quick they were to all judge. Hilarious!

But you like the Sex Pistols.

spaeking of steve vai, i totally saw crossroads a couple of hours ago; so much wankery at the climax of the movie is hilarious and vai's defeat is fucking priceless.

overdubbed, ironic, whatever, I think we can all agree it would all be much better if it was
"Steve Vai, Shredded"

They cannot hold a candle to Mr. Fastfinger.

I never mentioned that I liked Steve Vai. All in all, I don't like Steve Vai, not really. Yet I have been exposed to Steve Vai. He plays on Public Image, Ltd's Album (generic/untitled) and, like some I suppose, I remember his stuff with David Lee Roth. I also had this guitar playing friend (worked at a restaurant with him years ago) that loved him and would always try to get me to listen to his music when we would get together to jam. I'd always be trying to get him to switch the tape or cd to Jeff Beck, 'cause he had all those as well. Usually, he would just torture me haha with Joe Satriani next instead. Although, Satriani isn't all bad, if it has to come right down to it.

The original of that isn't that bad. I'd actually go as far to say that it's some pretty tasty playing.

The overdub is just brilliant though.
