How many of you actually watch these things?
And how many of you have actually attempted playing them?

I can play Michael Romeo's BCPT, just not at the insane 172 BPM he can. I can get it at 130 though :]

i hate those things , its only in a few that some of them are pretty cool or at least have a great idea in them . Some are just so lame or just showy : P

I like the ones that aren't complete shred fests or when the guitarists admit they don't think its shred worthy. The only exception is Chris Brodrick slap and 2 hand tap piano esque guitar is awesome.

Yeah, some of them are just too shreddy. But still, can you play it? Most of them aren't for being amazing musically. Like Rusty Cooly's, all it is is a four-finger shred up a C# Phryigian. The hard part is doing it at the speed and playing it the same way he does. Though, i'd still call it an excercise.

But yes, Chris Broderick's is amazing. His and Michael Romeo's are my favorites.

I like Cooley, but whenever I see an instructional video by him, of any kind, Its usually just a modal run played at the speed of mach 1. I can't play it, not at that speed, but I don't have the practice time the man has. razz

i like it when they put out some cool weird ones out there . I like a lick to make me think or just go "oh crapy thats pretty out there" or "wow that really sounds melodic .
