The Watermelon Monster - Kyle Honea
Nobody can touch this guy when it comes to shredding. I just got his demo in the mail for free since he saw that I was an aspiring shred master one day, and man, NOBODY comes near this guy at all. I can't see how anyone cannot feel the emotion in some Shred....I guess different strokes from different floks. With 4 strings and 24 frets (and a left handed custom bass) this guy has pushed the boundries of what we know as 2 hand tapping. I dont' think Billy Sheehan can touch his shred, I don't think Stu could touch his tapping, I dont even think Victor can (and I highly admire all of these people.)
The last track shows his guitar skills, and there's a very sick distortion, but what I like about the bass tracks is that he's not hiding behind a distortion, he's out in the open, clean, and with hands of God behind him.
