Well, folks, it's Friday. You should probably know what that means. We've been doing this for years and years and years. It's time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread. Come share some music you made. We don't bite!     (Guitar)

This actually exists. Craziest Steve Morse I've ever heard. I know Allan didn't like jams like this, but he sounds like he's actually having fun here.

This one is for us shredder dorks. "Go Off" was the first I ever heard Jason Becker and Marty Friedman, on a guitar player magazine sound page(those floppy little 45 records inside the magazine). I never would've dreamed I'd see this insanity played live. He even nails Jason's "slow" solo at the end.

That's right, it's Friday! It's not Thursday. I know this because I checked! You're not fooling me, Mr. Calendar! Anyhow, it's time to start the Friday Night Guitar Thread. We're not picky. Come share some music that you made and we'll see what we think of it!     (Guitar)

I loved this when it came out 8 years ago, then like everything else I immediately forgot it. I've seen the guitar player on other shit, and he's beyond incredible. But there's no solo on this. It doesn't matter, this shit gives me faith in the younger generation.

I would like to cordially welcome you all once again to the Friday Night Guitar Thread. We survived another week on Earth, so we may as well make some noise while we are still here. Any instrument, any skill level, just play us a tune. Music is for sharing!     (Guitar)

Are you a Toddler? - Zachary Handcrafted Guitars - Toddlers = CNC     (www.youtube.com)

Title unchanged.

This is another fine video by ALEX-ON-LIFE, aka Zachary Handcrafted Guitars (Mon, 07 Apr 2025). Posted here to exorcise some of your demons.

Note This video may not seem to be about "guitars" or "toddlers", but this guy has a literal hate on for people who use CNC to make guitar bases.

It took forever to find this. Incredible     (Guitar)

I posted the fretboard diagram of this in some other thread, so I looked to see if there are videos of people playing it. Of course there are, and I watched about 194 of them before I found one even close.

Jimmy Rosenberg-Django's Improvisation #1

Everyone else was sloppy and got tripped up on the same parts. Jimmy even has trouble with that monstrous lick at 1:38 but he still pretty much nails everything. Interesting that nobody can replicate an improvised performance by a guy with 2 fingers in 1937.

Never seen this before     (Guitar)

Well kind of. Jeff Healey played like this, but never any crazy shit like here. Check out Rory Hoffman on the right. He's obviously got at least 1 bass string, possibly 2, not sure what's going on there. This asshole plays about 20 instruments and sings, all amazingly like this. He looks like he's blind, or somethings wrong with him.

Rory Hoffman, the guy on the right

I HIGHLY suggest checking out Joscho Stephan's youtube channel. It's 100s of videos where something amazing happens in every single one. Usually with someone I've never heard of who is incredible.

It's no secret who my favorite is, but this is one of the most insane licks I've seen played by ANYONE on a guitar. 14:41 if the timestamp fucks up. This arpeggio idea is nothing new, he usually does it when he's playing really good and super into it. But I've never heard him take it all the way across the neck like this and get so outside with it. The fact that he's picking every note at this speed too, fuck.

This is kind of a weird one. From the imitating a train horn with tremolo picked chords, to the alt picking extravaganza solo, to the punk rock ending where it sounds like he throws the guitar against the wall. Check out his right hand strumming, it never stops at that tempo. Very similar to the Dregs song from last week.
Mystery Pacific

Here you get to see how he played this crazy shit on an improvisation. Keep in mind this fucker is doing this with 2 fingers:

Hello, and welcome to the Friday Night Guitar Thread. In the Spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. And thoughts of love lead to writing a song to woo your desired. So come play us your song, or be woo'd by the songs of another. Just come join us and join in. All are welcome.     (Guitar)

This band was a massive influence way before I ever picked up a guitar. This performance especially was always up there with the "Machine Gun" solo in terms of godliness for me. I never imagined there would be video of it, so here it is:

His composed shit like this is amazing, but his jazz shit is next level. this tapping excursion (2:48 on if the timestamp doesnt work) is unreal:

Here he is improvising over Sunny. I don't know what to say about this crazy shit:

I don't love tapping on acoustic, but always thought this beats the shit out of Eruption for Eddie solo things. That monstrous ascending lick is the most badass thing I've heard him play, but whenever he did this live he pussed out and never played it. Here's what it would've looked like:

This came out when I was in high school and blew us away of course. Here are the 3 best ones, but it's all good.

First, by far the best thing Zakk Wylde has ever played:
https://youtu.be/P_cTl052x_o

Next, the best Yngwie song ever. He redid this for a record, but it's not near as good as this version:
https://youtu.be/gRmTqdM_1CM

Finally... this. The Paul Gilbert one. Before this came out, he said in an interview that he sped up the guitar on one part as a joke on all the shredders. The thing is, he's so fucking fast you're wondering the whole time which part is sped up(it's obviously the ending fadeout):

Threw sections of 5 songs together. Timing got a little squirrelly on the last transition for a bar or two but pulled it together. I just record shit one time and keep my mistakes in. I believe it forces me to improve. I don’t remember who op was that posted his titanic theme meme with the jet, but thought it was a good go to. Enjoy, you wonderful faggots. \o
