17 year old guitar prodigy Brandon 'Taz' Niederauer.

He was 16 here, jammin up in Lowell, Massachusetts.

[the other mike]

You can hear the Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa and other influences in his playing.

 

[sparky]

Young Taz is well on his way into the next generation of blues players

Here's my take...
I'm more impressed by an average musician that can compose a melody I can't get out of my head than someone who can play a million notes a second.

Same here. That's why my favorite guitarist is
Carlos Santana and not Joe Satriani probably.

Or Igway Momway 1,00,000,000,000 non-melodic notes a second!

I love shredding if it's original and not too repetitive and no GROWLY singing.
Death metal is the worst.

Shame on Carlos submitting his guitar to the song and not trying to fly elsewhere.

Shredding is cool for about 10 seconds.

Here's 50 10-second shreds strung together....

I guess I'm too accustomed to the top 10 guitar/instrumental solos of the 60s and 70s where the solos could have been released as singles on their own merit.

So that would span between Muddy, Hendrix, Clapton , Trower, Santana, Gilmour, Page, Van Halen and Al DiMeola.....that era ?
