8 String Shredder
| Message Board > Found on the web > 8 String Shredder |
| ODIN User Info... | holy fuck this guy is sick http://www.rustycooley.com/video.html check out the 8 string vids :o - Tue, 8 Mar 2005 8:37pm | ||
| Perpetual_Burn User Info... | His new 9 string looks rad. I got the Outworld demo cd in the mail on Monday, it's fantastic. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 2:28pm | ||
| Mutilashawn User Info... | the last 20 seconds made me soil myself. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 3:23pm | ||
| Laprider User Info... | thar was lame...playing fast modes doesn't mean jack shit.....when you gonna learn....one well played note could say a hella lot more then that. But sure practice modal arpeggios with a metrenome and speed it up everyday. You know the chicks just dig this stuff! - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 4:18pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | wow.. the guitarists equivalent to masturbation. i hate it when shredders cheat with delay. have you guys ever heard real country fingerstyle? talk to me after you've seen Buster B Jones play, i saw him here at Long and McQuade.. unreal. and apparently he used to be faster. but he's just a tasty player who knows about melody and chording. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 6:51pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | yes true there are a lot better guitarists out there like les paul and many other greats.... but god damn that fucker is fast! does anyone know where i could order a conklin guitar at? im thinking about getting an 8 or 7 the 9 looks a bit too hardcore for me. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 8:14pm | ||
| Mik User Info... | I don't understand why some people find it necessary to cut down shredders. Rusty is a seriously talented player who has a superior command of his instrument. He can do more than just "play modes really fast". [+} - Cheating? Using delay is far from cheating. Rusty is an example of someone who is INCREDIBLY fast and clean. The delay does not affect his technique. Your comparison to country fingerstyle is irrelevant. If you don't like the music then don't listen to it. Don't cut it down. ODIN - Why would you compare someone like Les Paul to a shredder like Cooley? It's apples and oranges man. - Fri, 11 Mar 2005 12:21am | ||
| ODIN User Info... | I didn't compare them I just said yes there are other guitarists out there who can't play as fast or sound like a computer but are equaly respectable if not more so. And yes mik I can see your point. If you don't like it don't listen to it! ps. delay is cheating because it makes him sound faster it has nothing to do with how "clean" he plays or his technique. although if he was sloppy the delay would make it a lot more noticable. - Fri, 11 Mar 2005 10:51pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Les Paul shreds all over shredders, what are you talking about? He played better with a casted broken arm than anyone in this discussion board. - Sat, 12 Mar 2005 1:31am | ||
| snuh User Info... | Incredible. I get desensitized to it after a few seconds. I'd prefer to hear the old 'whiddilywhiddilywoooo' a la Ace Frehley. - Sat, 12 Mar 2005 7:17am | ||
| Gagg User Info... | I see nothing spectacular He isnt even doing any of it right - Sat, 12 Mar 2005 6:53pm | ||
| Kickback User Info... | Well that dude definately gets an A in sweeping and arpeggios. But alas he has a video of him from 1991 and this is the first i've heard of him. I guess he better switch to play left handed and write "7 nation army" if he wants to hit it big. Seriously though maybe just slow it down and get melodic ala Satriani, just cuz you can play a bazillion miles per hour does mean it's a good thing to do. - Sat, 12 Mar 2005 11:42pm | ||
| OnioN User Info... | Wow, what a fuckin' chowder-head. Betcha he's been kicked out of his share of bands for being such a one-dimensional knob who bandmates can't stand. How unimpressive. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:15pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | I'm sure you could do better. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:20pm | ||
| OnioN User Info... | Yup, I could, and people wouldn't be bored after 10 seconds. Enjoy your spandex, slick. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:24pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | wow and I'm sure you get into all the bands with that ego. you haven't even started and I'm bored with you. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:33pm | ||
| OnioN User Info... | Nice one. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:42pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | same to you dick. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 8:55pm | ||
| LeucyDeucy User Info... | Rusty Cooly in insane! He was rated #7 on Guitar One's fasted shreders of all time. Its hard to believe there is 6 people rated faster than him for sure! Rated #1 of all time is Michael Angelo Batio, check out his site at http://www.angelo.com Personally I think Rusty Cooly is even faster than Michael Batio, who knows, its definatly to hard to tell at that speed though. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 9:18pm | ||
| Robnoxious User Info... | I'd rather watch Steve Morse play something more technical, Yngwie play with more speed and agression, or Gary Moore play with more taste. Not that he doesn't have chops but I got bored about 1/2 way through. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 9:39pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | I would rather see Yngwie play Paganini's 5th caprice. I just thought this was interesting. - Sun, 13 Mar 2005 10:22pm | ||
| Wig User Info... | i'd rather watch Neil Young strum a 12 string. - Mon, 14 Mar 2005 1:47pm | ||
| GFY User Info... | Ya neat but lost interest really fast, it is just like masterbation for guitar player's. - Mon, 14 Mar 2005 8:04pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... | i sure do love my masturbation and i am a guitarist - Mon, 14 Mar 2005 10:44pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Y'all might hack him down, but didn't he learn everything on his own or thru existing books? And 7 or 9 strings? Not bad! He's appearing in Guitar World, gonna have to check that out. - Wed, 16 Mar 2005 8:36pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | for a bunch of musicians (who are supposedly "open minded") you all are stereotyping that dude and his playing. - Thu, 17 Mar 2005 1:23am | ||
| Laprider User Info... |  NOTICE HE"S IN HIS BEDROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 - Fri, 18 Mar 2005 2:27am | ||
| Perpetual_Burn User Info... | It's his computer room where he films his instructional video's for CD-ROM and has recording gear. The *Wank* video's there don't do his writing skills justice, hearing him on CD is a totally different experience. It takes a lot of time and practice to get to that speed and keep accuracy, just as it does with any style. Why is this such a big deal? Why are so many guitarists on this board threatened by him? - Fri, 18 Mar 2005 9:00pm | ||
| jenko User Info... | Wow. First impression: he's really fast. 2-3 minutes later: still really fast. Much, much later: still fast. Zero dynamics, questionable tone? I've seen some monsters- Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani, Trey Anastasio, Buddy Guy... The man who impressed me the most was Bill Frisell. Him and guys like Derek Trucks, Neil Young or even Jeff Tweedy play from the heart first and foremost, and that's what really connects with the folks at home... Even someone as technical as Frank Zappa can be soulful, and it's usually that "one" note that really hits you, not the 327 at once that prove that age old saying once again: JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD. (my fave moment was in the "jam" at about seven minutes where he looks at the camera, then over his shoulder, then makes tough guy face) - Fri, 18 Mar 2005 11:30pm | ||

| Nik Olaz User Info... | i think it has been stated on another messageboard, all musicians are serious assholes. - Sat, 19 Mar 2005 1:59am | ||
| dooker User Info... | starts with being on a messageboard til 3 am - Sat, 19 Mar 2005 2:55am | ||
| radiofreebc User Info... | I know you can't compare the two, but Charlie Hunter plays an 8-string guitar as well. Those things are pretty cool. Don't see them very often. Very different style...but it's interesting to see what he does with it. Both the bass and guitar parts at the same time. http://www.charliehunter.com Rusty is hella fast, no doubt...he's got chops. So, I don't think anyone on this site can really talk shit about how he plays. Might be able to slag him for his shorts...but not his playing. I'll give him props for what he does. - Sun, 20 Mar 2005 3:17pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Oft times the tecnnical demonstration does not impress people like it might otherwise. Perhaps if people saw this guy layin it down with some people, they would appreciate it more. The guy is well versed on the fretboard, no doubt. But it doesn't move my groove-bone one inch... - Sun, 20 Mar 2005 7:59pm | ||
| ODIN User Info... |  | ||
| a.joe User Info... | Why doesn't he drop the 8-string, pick up a mandolin and play celtic? THat'd be kickass! - Mon, 21 Mar 2005 1:49pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | WOO! Punk rock Mandolin!!! - Wed, 23 Mar 2005 6:28pm | ||
