  Melodic Speed...!!!

Normally I am not very impressed by people who play a million notes per minute. To me
it always sounds like they learned their scales, so well, that they can play them very fast...!!!
Not a lot of musical talent involved. Just quick mechanical ability...!!!

Yet some people mange to incorporate that lightning fast shred ability with real harmonic
and melodic artistry. It does not happen often, but when it does, it's pure musical magic...!!!

Here is one example... A little known guitarist who's name is David Valdes...

Check it out...!!!

David Valdes - Eternal Dream

Cheers

I have to admit that I liked about 90% of that. the other 10% was pure scales which always leaves me cold. He did a great job melodically.

Well, that was impressive- for the reasons given above- also the fact that he was so clean on it.
