How on earth....!!!

Post by MichaelRobinson »

This guy is a musical genius, it is probably no doubt. The thing that amazes me when I see him play, he plays so many tones in such a short period of time without hardly moving fingers !! How does he do it ??

I'll agree it's pretty amazing the ease of that speed.

Though maybe it's my tired old brain, but there can be too many notes for me and it spoils the music for me. Which is why all my favourite guitar players tend to play slower - Peter Green, Paul Kossoff, etc.

I've noticed Alex Hutchings is much in demand for product demos. He does a good job in selling the gear I think.

He has worked hard on economic picking and playing fast and seems to know the fretboard well. However, like VB I think it's boring. Every note sounds the same. No accents, no dirt, just like a computer. A guitarist for guitarists.

Yes, I agree that he is doing much advertising for companies that manufacture guitar stuff. Guess he lives well on it.

I do not know if he is the guitarist for guitarists. I have never thought so, but it is possible.

What I read about him, he is in the larger context and also hired by many musicians.

He is playing jazz fusion(correct me if I'm wrong), oh and if you like his playing in that video, you might like Guthrie Govan of The Aristocrats ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T02w4PiEGQ ). There are a lot of tutorials in youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5SLU4k0cAc . Hope this helps :)
