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

I posted this video to YouTube pretty recently and I realized I didn't post it here:

It's me and my friend Nathan Law, when we used to be in a neo-classical shred band.

I just uploaded this track to broadjam--I had some tendonitis issues with my left hand when I recorded the video in post #1, and this recording is before the tendonitis issue, so this recording is better, I play some of those same guitar licks almost twice as fast:

and yes, that's my real name on broadjam....



I just uploaded another guitar track,
This one is different than my other tracks above,
because this genre is fuNk--

I uploaded some new songs I wrote, on my 2nd YouTube channel--these are pretty diverse genres/styles of music:

this is the vocal version of the song above, I actually like the instrumental version better though:

I got some more videos I uploaded recently on my 2nd YouTube channel--

On this one, towards the end of the song, I use an Ebow with a slide to get that sound, it also might be my best drum programming, I used a drum machine and it's all note by note programming, not software, so it was extremely tedious, I change the strike of each ride hit so that some are closer to the bell, and some are closer to the rim, I do the same with the snare, etc. and I also time displace each hit very slightly so that it sounds like a real drummer, it took me over 35 hours to program the drums for just this one song:

They both have soprano saxophone as well as guitar, the second one has upright bass too

I quite liked those two. Very relaxing.



I have some newer videos that I posted on my 2nd YouTube channel.
They're shot in the studio videos, and you can download these songs for free on Google Play, if you like them. The links are in the video description, or you can go to Google Play and search for Matt Makaha and then click on Matt's instrumental album--all songs are free on it.
Here's the new videos:
