Frighteningly fast... how does the brain get the message to the fingers that quick! lol
Cool tune, haven't heard the original, yours rocks though. Buckethead is something else.

Jason, do you have a main guitar? Curious as to what it is... Some aeriously fantastic disciplined shredding here. I'll never get there myself, but I appreciate the talent and work to get to that level.
Crazy stuff!
Just a silly song I made up based on the title of an Accept song. I like Accept and was listening to one of their albums the other day and later when I went to record something the title "Flash Rockin' Man" was in my head and I just used that…

I feel you take to best of the old shred guitar days, lets say of the late 80's and early 90's when guys still played lead guitar, and do something unique with it. Are you familiar with the old Shrapnel Records label? I forget all those players now... Marty Freidmen, Greg Howe, Ritchie Kotsen? You remind me of those days, and I listened to all that on vinyl only!

Sure, this does the trick. Got that cool Rob Zombie thing going on with the voice but the guitars are a bit groovier. Of course well done as always, but I really like the guitar riff at the beginning. Cool.
Got the basic idea for this from Keith Wyatt's Guitar World column (Talkin' Blues, Feb 2014) in which he discusses some of guitarist Grady Martin's work.
In an online course on Einstein's miracle year of 1905 we had to do a creative project and I was going to submit this but never did. Hope you think it's funny.
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (my left forearm was burning like hell after each take). After the acoustic version, there's a distorted version, but the tapped harmonics at the beginning sound pretty crappy with distortion. I also added…

I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
I think this is the first song that I've posted here under Mannequin Races that actually has a guitar in it. You can't really tell that it's a guitar but it's in there (middle section around the 1:50 mark). The guitar is heavily modulated but…

I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…
