Apparently my brother recorded this in 1984 at the age of 15. Sadly, I'll never do anything even approximately this rad…;) (skip to 2:34 for the Platonic Form of Shreddery!).

Wow! Am I the only wannabe shredding cocooner here? I hope your brother is now into some sort of music business. Being around 15 in the shrapnel era sounds like something great (i was -3 at that time).

Guglielmo: My brother was actually offered a record-contract with Shrapnel at 16 or 17…and turned it down! I wish he hadn’t. I think he’d probably be widely recognized as a Great Guitar Player now if he had. He was also with “Racer X” for a time as Paul Gilbert’s replacement (
)
Anyway, great to hear you’re a shredded too! I play guitar, but have no shredding ability, unfortunately. 🙂 -
Oh, and yes, he’s still in the business as a producer, mixer, and musician!

Hi Marcus!
Well, I’m not a shredder… I wanted to play that sort of things but I always failed in practicing daily.
Nonetheless, I’ve recently discovered “ditones” and I took some sort of commitment in discussing guitar here at http://shreddingditones.blogspot.com and now I try to practice at least 90 minutes/day.
I feel it also helps with philosophy, papers, etc. -
Hi Roger! Great to know! I’m not so much into that kind of metal but I loved the early Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork and quite a lot of Nevermore.
