Mickguard Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Too geeky for me. How about Tenacious D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 That's both impressive and disturbing! Tenacious D is funny, but their playing kinda makes Kurt Cobain and Stephen Stills look like Vai and Satch by comparison, doncha think? Greg Koch ("rhymes with chalk") and Mike Keneally (Vai, Zappa, Beer For Dolphins) are both clever, quirky and very accomplished players. Greg's Blues Jam Guy (from the Radio Free Gristle CD) is a perfectly hilarious description that anybody who's ever spent time at a Blues Jam will recognize, right down to vintage gear and the random, "wasp-on-crack" vibrato. Keneally is somewhat less accessible, more Zappa-esque (if you will), but well worth a listen. His Yes tribute song (Fathful Axe, from Boil That Dust Speck) has 41 separate Yes "quotes" sprinkled throughout, spawning a Yes fan challenge to identify them all! (That geeky enough for ya?)

prs man Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I thought that was cool. do you know how hard it is to be on stage doing a solo thing and make people laugh. I watched it 2 times it was great. good or bad mike rayburn is making a living and I will assume getting paid for do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 good or bad mike rayburn is making a living and I will assume getting paid for do it. Not to mention the fact that he can actually play the guitar...Tenacious D???!! pfffft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I liked that Mike Rayburn video. He was good at playing guitar, he was good at being a comedian, and he was able to be funny without having to hide his talent under layers of profanity. Sorry, but that Tenacious D clip was a little too obscene for me. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I wouldn't go as far as to call Mike Rayburn a virtuoso by any stretch of the imagination. Interesting to watch once, a little cringe-worthy in places but I wouldn't buy the season ticket :-D Good for him I say. Tenacious D? Light-hearted and fun, and it's nice that rock can dig itself in the ribs for a few laughs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Maybe not a virtuoso, but I guarantee that anyone who has actually studied classical guitar and got his undergrad degree (as he claims to have, I'm assuming he's telling the truth) is probably better than 90% of guitarists out there, at least in technical ability.

redwhiteandthemaple Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thx for that link Southpa, really liked what he was doing So checked out his website, quite the guy. Although saddened at the fact that Canada will never get to see him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodBlessTexas Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Although saddened at the fact that Canada will never get to see him.. Why? At the end of the video, he thanks the clients who hired him to perform parts of those clips, and one of them was The Royal Bank of Canada. So while he may not have any tour dates for Canada listed on his site, he has been there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
