Sultans Of SHRED!

Another fun SHRED parody of a classic solo!

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING the original solo is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time! This is just me having fun imagining if other players had played on the track (or if it were part of a hypothetical G3 jam!).

Zakk Wylde
Paul Gilbert
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Guthrie Govan
Eric Johnson
Jason Becker

Who would you have liked to see in this imaginary collab? Did I miss anyone??

I love how a decade ago Gutherie was making stuff like this for Guitar World and now he's in it himself

[Theslayer]

One of the best guitar videos! Thanks! 🎸🔥

[TheJML]

God knows how long it took for you to put this together, but thank you for doing so! That was just pure ear candy! 😙👌🏻

[erincyldz]

this is one of the best videos i have ever seen on this site. The mimics of the players are almost flawless bro

[sasgayable]

incredible dude. you really nailed each guy's style and kept it a coherent cover of knopfler's solo.

[Jamesftd]

I love the part near the end of the vid where you nail the Jason Becker sweep, must've felt good! Unbelievable playing man.

I'M JUST OBSESSED WITH GUTHRIE'S VERSION!!!!

It blended so well with Johnson's part too I'm just...

[NiklasMeads]

Those note choices at 1:00 are unbelievable!

[EduardoEspinosa-jc]

The numbers Jason guitar is a great wink for such a virtuous artist, long live Jason Becker

[BernoAU]

Jason’s photo at the end almost brought a tear to my eye.

[benk.]

Sultans of swing backing track is just the perfect thing to solo over.

[vita-girl]

The string skipping on the Jason becker section gives me chills, so great. Love you shredding on that numbers guitar too!

This is so fun! I haven't enjoyed a video like this so much since Paul Gilbert broke into the solo for Stairway to Heaven in the middle of the Spice Girls Two Become One.

Your ability to understand the spirit of each artist and interpret it so brilliantly within the guardrails of another artist’s masterpiece is almost beyond comprehension or imagination.

I can’t possibly summon enough adjectives to adequately heap enough love upon what you’ve done here. I just now my head in respect at your majestic creation!

[erickmonzon]

-"Too many notes...Cut a few and it will be perfect."

-And which few do you have in mind, your majesty?


Superb playing, J Ro!

[thefourthwritedjentleman]

Wow just wow 😮

Absolutely next level playing, your finger tone, dynamics, timing etc

Just top tier J-Rob

[iRemainNameless]

Unbelievable. This is the smoothest rendition of a collection of players styles I've ever witnessed. Absolutely flawless. Bravo Mr Robinson. Wow

[mikesheehan]

I don't have enough superlatives to do this video justice. Your playing is clearly amazing, but the distinction between each of the guitarists styles and how you give them a voice is outstanding. However long it took to compose this, please know it was worth every minute. I've watched this video more times than I can count now.

[jada]

Really freaking awesome. You captured something so cool about Guthrie's playing - he's more chromatic than any other shredder I've heard. And chromatic music is the most interesting music!

[nemesisfp]

The fact that you played this over a Mark Knopfler tune, one of the most overlooked guitar geniuses of the modern day is awesome beyond words!
