As I was browsing through the usual webbies online, I came across this ad at SweeLee's site :
Gosh! Herman Li's coming to Singapore once again for his Asian Tour Clinic! In case you're wondering who the hell is he, he's basically the lead guitarist from the Power Metal Band, DragonForce, which came down to Singapore recently for their "Inhuman Rampage" concert tour. Well, I didnt manage to catch that gig , partly because I aint a Power Metal genre kinda fan and thus doesnt really appreciate their music influences.
In case you guys are curious what this guy can do, check the links out:
+ Herman Li and Sam Totman performing the "Through the Fire and Flames" solo together.
+ Herman Li and Sam Totman giving instructional demos and advice on playing their song
Well, it never fails to make mi go "WAHHH" whenever i hear or watch this video, and if you have bothered to watch the above video, the 1st thought in your mind would be " Wow.... how the hell did that dude do tt shit on the guitar? it's all pure speed shredding..!!! wouldnt his fingers go cramp?" Lolz.
Then again, there are other friends of mine(guitarists) who think there's just all pure speed, and it seems so messy and disorganised, and thus they think otherwise for guitarists like Herman Li. Aw well, to each his own opinion. If anyone out there is interested in going for the Clinic anyway, check out Swee Lee's website at : http://www.sweelee.sg/
Hmm....Im still waiting for the day Joe Satriani or John Petrucci to come down to SINGAPORE... or even better... G3 coming down for Asia Tour! That would be sweet...
