Forums - Music Discussion - Fastest, most naked asian guitarist??

People who know my guitar playing have kept telling me to put my stuff up on YouTube, because they told me there is nobody on Youtube who can play like me.  Well, that's what they tell me anyway.  So I finally put up some videos, a few days ago.

Here's one of the videos:

 Well, what do you think??

EDIT:

Oops, I guess in the original post I sounded a little bit too egotistical.... but hey, Matt Makaha isn't even my real name, LOL  If you live in Hawaii you'll know instantly that Makaha isn't a surname, but a place on the west side of Oahu, haha.  Anyway, I should have added some other links like this one--
not technical playing, but I got great tone on this particular day, because I was using an ADA MP1 and a Mosvalve head and I happened to place the microphone in the perfect spot in front of the speaker cabinet, and when you have a great tone, you tend to play better.  How much of it was the equipment, or how much of it was me, I don't know.  It was probably the equipment, but all I know is that I got some great tone on that day:

....I'm thinking of changing the title of the first video to "Naked asian guy plays guitar" since I'm Chinese, LOL!!

 

Also, some people like my acoustic playing better, so here's some acoustic stuff I uploaded recently:

Or, some bossa nova jazz--a song I wrote in 15 minutes (as a challenge to see if I could do it):

There's this guy in my country... He's...just...Godly...

Dan Patlansky.



Lies... you are not completly naked...



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Not the fastest, nor the best. but very nice and different. I like Cosmic Dreams.

P.S. no need to make yourself larger than life



Can't hold all this modesty.



Around the Network

People seem to love to put their half nude selves on this site..., but your skills are okay. Let us hear it in not an electric guitar.



lol you saying you're the best = automatically people won't like you or be impressed. Title of the vid on youtube is better haha

You're pretty fast, maybe the fastest I've ever seen, but it's not like I actually watch stuff like this.

It's ok. You are finger nubbing and Buckethead does it better as shown here.

Also speed does not say how good you are.  Emotion as well and once again Buckethead has some of the most emotional songs out their. He isn't just technical and speed, but also a passionate emotional guitar player.

But glad to see so much modesty from you :P

You're certainly very good...that being said, the aforementioned guitarists are NOT underground...as a matter of fact most of the neo classical people I know worship them...

Your technique is very comparable to Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders....
