Remember when we were discussing the David Gilmour strat and I said I wonder who's next?
This one honestly seems more obvious than the Gilmour one...

I always get a kick out of this.
Um, yeah. That sure captures the essence of the blues.
Sorry, I'm sure he has some fans here, but I don't get these speed demons. How about some feeling?

To be able to digest & enjoy this you have to, like me, be an connoisseur of the highest and finest culture Sweden can offer

HOT diggity! Now that was a wild romp through the blues.
You know, it's really not that bad. Beyond the obvious dexterity, he clearly knows the licks, and he strings them together pretty well, with more understanding of the idiom than I expected, and he's fluid. Obviously knows the fingerboard like nobody's business, and never gets anywhere near a misstep or unintentional or accidental note or phrase.
Tone is pretty generic.
But the worst thing is, he never seems to hit the beat. Guy's got worse timing for this stuff, therefore worse phrasing, than I've got.
And that's going some.

Doctor, honestly I have tried but I just couldn't digest it. I like Swedish girls though, isn't that a cultural thing too.

Are you going to buy his Spandex pants?????

There was a bunch of those EVHs stolen from musicstore a while back - they were offering rewards for their return. Bizarrely, I don't think they ever did return. Someone actually wants them.
As for the Yngwie tribute... ah it's just as bad as the Rory (which a lot of people seem to not just enjoy, but worship.) Any artificial relicing, for me, is nonsense. Although you have to hand it to Fender - they really did a great job of making that guitar look abused, and like a P.O.S. Mojo? MOJO? If you want mojo go see a witch doctor.

Did they replicate the pattern of his teeth marks? I'd love to see the techs handling that one!
Tech: "Yngwie sent us a silicon mold of his teeth, which we then fitted onto a custom-designed dental lathe-punch."
Fender marketing guy: "Yes, very innovative approach by our team, although I should add that a special limited-edition run of 100 guitars will be personally bitten by Yngwie."

So, guess how many Falcons that "EVH" guitar is worth? (yes a falcon is a unit of monetary measure) You could but 7.142 Falcons for the cost of fender's abomination.
I need to go pray.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the zillion-and-one flavors of Strat concept. The different neck profiles, sure, that's 3 or 4 varieties, and maple or rosewood fingerboard makes 6 or 8, but what about a signature strat is all that different from one of the stock versions with similar neck profile (V, C or D)? They all still sound pretty much like, well, Strats.

Whoa, that is a cool guitar for sure. Gotta admit it takes alot of time, effort, and skill to pull off something so accurate, especiually for a guitar as beaten as that.
His blues lesson was...interesting. He definitly knows his stuff, but as Proteus said his timing for the notes wasn't good, for the blues. Slash is a guitar player who can incorporate shred well with blues, if any of you have heard the "Slash Guitar Battle" from Guitar Hero 3 (go ahead, youtube it).
Thilton59, plus one for your new formula for calculating guitar value. All of my guitars would value in fractions. "My Jet cost me 3/8ths of a Falcon"

Using a Falcon as the standard of guitar worthiness has some merit, but please can we go metric? Then we'd get units like the deciFalcon (tenth of a Falcon), centiFalcon (also known as a Dano), etc.
Kind of like the international units of female beauty, based on the legendary Helen of Troy. Helen was said to have had "the face that launched a thousand ships," so the amount of beauty required to launch one ship is known as a millihelen.

I like the way you think parabar. I think that it is hereby decreed that metric based Falcon system shall be adopted herein. 1 Falcon = 3,000USD. Just cobble together any prefix to tack on there. Such as, hecs, mili, mega, kilo, or whatever. I think this could go places....
