Muris, I´m going to vote for you, certainly.
That was awesome
Posted by: Canis Aug 12 2008, 10:42 PM
Holy fudge, Muris!
I have some friends over, and everyone was doing their own stuff, making lots of noise and such... When I put this on, there was nothing but your playing that filled the air 
Everyone stopped in their steps to watch.
When the shredding was over, I looked around and everyone had their mouths hanging open, still staring at the screen
Such an awesome sight =)
Edit: Two of them is gonna start playing guitar, thanks to you ^^

Posted by: MickeM Aug 13 2008, 08:16 AM
Fantastic shredding, very melodic and musical, and the tapping was just incredible.
Excellent!
Posted by: DeepRoots Aug 13 2008, 08:45 AM
Awesome as usual Muris
I love that chord you play after the chromatic run...what chord is that?
Posted by: Ian Bushell Aug 13 2008, 09:11 AM
WOW Muris!!! What planet did you say you come from again?
I don't know if i should even enter...GEEZ!! That was mad haha

Posted by: kyldeee Aug 13 2008, 10:15 AM
Watched it, and throwed my guitars in the dumbster, damn u Muris
Kiddin' kiddin'... I gave it a 11
Great job Muris... I really hope u win this one
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 11:24 AM
I love that chord you play after the chromatic run...what chord is that?
Those are two 7th chords actually,C7 and B7
or Ab7 and A7 cause I was tuned whole tone down.
And I play them without 5th tho,
root is on low E,7th on D and third on G string.
Thanks for support guys!!!!!
Posted by: mattacuk Aug 13 2008, 02:14 PM
did someone say 7th ?
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 02:23 PM
Yep, 7ths only
Posted by: Jose Mena Aug 13 2008, 02:27 PM
Wow Muris!!
I was thinking about entering, and was preparing something, now I'm thinking I shouldn't, your shred skills are amazing, and that solo would be hard to top. I should go practice, you have raised the bar for this competition

the same here! I have seen many of the Dean Contest videos and Muris is the best one!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 02:33 PM
Thanks guys.
Still it would be great to see more people from GMC
entering this competition,lets spread the word nicely.
Posted by: Guitarman700 Aug 13 2008, 02:58 PM
your video made my head explode. wow... im not worthy!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 03:07 PM
We are ALL worthy!!
Here's the fact,
at early beginning I was practicing a lot,
manly cause I had nothing else to do,war time etc,
so it was like 6-7 hours per day.
Then I became kind a lazy when I joined some bands
and local pop-rock star "on stage" bends,
had real lacking of practicing.
But then I got internet connection to my apartment like 2 years ago
and there was Youtube,unlimited source for inspiration!!
So just find something you like and gives you the boost,
have fun while practicing and results must be there.
Posted by: ItsMe Aug 13 2008, 03:12 PM
They put a link to a stat page on the main voting page. Muris you are the number one in the average points category
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 03:22 PM
That was fast indeed,I uploaded it last night,
GMC community does the job once more,God bless guys!!

Hey Muris, in your video page they have some code you can put here as your signature, so that every time we see a post of yours we remember to vote
Posted by: Skalde Aug 13 2008, 03:52 PM
You are in the lead Muris.
You've got my vote too, awesome video!
Posted by: Bedlam Aug 13 2008, 03:55 PM

Anyone else getting this error? I'm sure it's awesome though
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 13 2008, 04:08 PM
Anyone else getting this error?
Probably Youtube overload,try in few minutes or som.
Hey Muris, in your video page they have some code you can put here as your signature, so that every time we see a post of yours we remember to vote

JOSE 11 points
yeah, that's right... in your face eurovision
Posted by: jdriver Aug 16 2008, 04:46 AM
I think Muris has an unfair advantage in these contests... every time he enters one, he automatically starts out with couple hundred votes from GMC!
Posted by: Jose Mena Aug 16 2008, 06:41 AM
Why unfair?, he is an awesome player, he deserves winning
Posted by: Déjà vu Aug 16 2008, 08:11 AM
http://www.deanguitars.com/shredder/viewProfile.php?id=1570
WOW
!! That was some insane trem picking!!! It seems as though it's really fast alternate picking (because it's actually clean)!!! Do you have some kind of pattern or "Gilbert Lick " to post?Posted by: botoxfox Aug 16 2008, 09:27 AM
I looked at some of the entries there, and I must say that Matt Rach's entry is sooo original! /sarcasm
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 16 2008, 09:33 AM
Spot on,GMC has a great role in voting system and I'm thankful as always!!
But there is jury for every contest which gives us all fair trial.
Posted by: timono Aug 16 2008, 10:13 AM
awesome Muris, and Jose you guys got my votes
Posted by: Canis Aug 16 2008, 12:09 PM
The "problem" is that he has tens of thousands fans on YouTube that automaticly votes for him the seconds he asks them to.. Not ment as a shot towards Mattrach since I think he's awesome to be that young, but he's a bit overrated
Posted by: Joe Kataldo Aug 16 2008, 12:28 PM
For sure GMC give us some boost, but in the end there is a jury...fantastic picking techniques Jose!
Posted by: Jose Mena Aug 16 2008, 03:41 PM
!! That was some insane trem picking!!! It seems as though it's really fast alternate picking (because it's actually clean)!!! Do you have some kind of pattern or "Gilbert Lick " to post?What I play is a pattern in 16th notes with alternate picking, I was thinking to create a lesson on some parts of this solo, and explain how I hold the pick and stuff like that.
What do you guys think?
Posted by: David Wallimann Aug 19 2008, 02:58 PM
Fantastic entries my friends...
I just uploaded mine, here it is...
Hope you enjoy it!

Wow, David, that´s really cool! The beginning sounds a bit like Mojo Oro. You should do some lessons which sound like this.
Posted by: skennington Aug 19 2008, 03:19 PM
Enjoyed it very much David! Voted 11 of course. Good luck guys!

GMC is just great, all participating instructurs are in the top100 rated category
Posted by: superpanda Aug 19 2008, 08:47 PM
Did you folks see that Marc Playle fellow on there? He plays left handed and doesnt have a left hand. He still manages to tap and get pinch harmonics though. Thats pretty neat!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Aug 19 2008, 08:53 PM
Marc is wonderful player despite of his handicap
AND great guy as well,we talk a lot in London and it was real pleasure.
You can see him in crowd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZCkHKFkcsQ&feature=related,right next to Chris and Craig.

Thanks David, I've voted 11 to your video...kind of fair trade between colleagues
Posted by: Noangels Aug 20 2008, 06:56 PM
had a chance to browse through a lot of the other ones there and have to say that shred isnt what it used to be!lol
In fact it looks like its dying,mortaly wounded by scaler playing,all or nothing timing,lack of dynamics and tone deaf
melody!I could type more expressions to convey the lack of musical understanding shown there but I might wear out
my keyboard here!
I noticed this in the early days of Youtube where every one and their granny had a webcam and a guitar
They all seem to want to able to run before they can walk?
Anyway,checked out the above teachers here and you all played as it should have been.Thank you for actualy playing great solos and making that trip to that website not a complete waste of time

I agree perfectly, many of them wants to run before learn how to walk, and you can hear all their floppy attempt, bad timing, ugly tone, no sense playing, what worries me is that some of them get a an higher rank too!
Posted by: Hisham Al-Sanea Sep 28 2008, 10:25 PM
you have my vote bro.

Yea, just looking at the high ranking players pissed me off. They're all doing the same things, sweeping, speed picking, some legato, tapping+legato, soooo boring, no creativity, no sense of music.
But great job to the GMC dudes, you all did a great job at making music with impressive chops, 11 for all of you!
Posted by: Joe Kataldo Sep 29 2008, 09:15 AM

Posted by: David Wallimann Nov 4 2008, 05:16 PM

Dean is opening up the votes for a final round, so if you haven't already here are the links to the GMCers participating.
If I forgot some please add it to this post!

Posted by: Tolek Nov 4 2008, 05:20 PM
Me too.
Good luck, guys.
Posted by: ItsMe Nov 4 2008, 05:27 PM
Voted 11 for everybody again. But I think your great contributions are totally wasted in this competition. Most of the high ranking players may be really fast but they all bored me to death. I'm proud that the GMC instructurs stand out so much with original and creative contributions and tasty playing. The same was true for this native competition. A shame that they canceled the voting there.
Posted by: ParalyzedHorse Nov 4 2008, 05:42 PM
I just voted everyone an 11 too
I agree, most of the other entries are pretty bad. Just random shredding but I have no idea what notes they're playing...basically sounds like buzz to me.
To be honest the best entries are coming from GMC

And they don't even play to a BT. I was blown away by Muris's and David's ideas, cause they did a really nice composition too... People just show off with their schoolbook exercises, random tapping (not with 8 fingers tho
), some sweeping... but fellow GMC members will not pass out just because they see someone using both hands messing on the fingerboard... we have seen much MORE on GMC...
