The Accelerator - Summer 2013

Post by Anz » 03 Aug 2013 08:16

WHO LIKES DEXES!? - Now what a silly question. We all just love dexes.

Here's a compilation video from altogether six (6) sessions in July and August. The footage is edited to Mason Williams' Classical Gas. A few clips from this footage I used to make a quick entry to the Worlds video contest.
Due to the nature of the song there's not so many runs. Mostly links and sick3's, and some single tricks.

Lenght: 3:03
Music: Mason Williams: Classical Gas

Favourite video of 2013, most definitely. Everything went absolutely perfectly with the music. I'm also glad such a song wasn't wasted.

Good god you are hardcore.

Also, stats.

296 dexes, in 135 tricks. 2.19 dexes per trick.

Also --
I know there's a bunch of guitar players among you. Somebody's asked me for some notes for my other videos earlier too.

Classical Gas is not a very hard piece to learn. There's no hard grips or transitions. You just need to have your fingers in order. You can't play this with a pick.

Here's the notes for the original version (just without the horns part).

It's got tabs too for you who don't read notes (I strongly recommend learning though).

Yeah. That was ridiculous. In a good way.

Thanks for playing, filming and posting. It's rare that I see a video where I have trouble keeping up with and processing what's happening THE ENTIRE TIME.

Looks like there might have been a couple records in there, too...
