Here's something for you shred heads.
In Australia on one of the underground TV channels there is a show called Guitar Gods and Masterpieces - produced by some local guys - very tongue in cheek. The host is called Hack Wanger , so that should give you an idea. I actually used to know one of the guys who produces the show (and a couple of guys in the video actually) - back in the day when I could play. I'm pissed off they didn't call me - they're not to know I have barely touched a guitar in 20 years
Anyway - I don't always get time to watch but my Dad does and he always lets me know if there's anything of interest and he brought this to my attention. The show is a bit iffy but they do have good connections in the biz , which are on display with this little song.
They have produced a song to raise money for mens health - more specifically prostate cancer and depression. It's called Don't You Tell Me Not To Play Guitar and the artist is listed as Dorian Chiiwahwah Phallic and the Astral Cosmic Travel Agency
Its a 9 min song which is just a regular song for 2 mins or so and the rest is basically a whole host of the best guitarists around having a few bars each to show their stuff. Lots of mindless shredding and pouting women - what's not to like?
Given that the dude singing has Chiiwahwah in his name I can't believe they didn't make Kirk Hammett their mascot but anyway..........here's the list of players , their bands etc..in order of appearance. You may see someone you like the sound of and can follow up on - lots of big names but also plenty of relative unknowns and Aussie guys.
