Guitar Today

When it comes to syncing new sounds to any pre-recorded video content, the possibilities are limitless. This can be seen in a recent YouTube phenomenon called “Shreds”. Shreds are re-dubbed videos of well known musicians with parodied music and vocals synced up with what’s happening in the video. Most of the time the result is hilarious.

You can find shreds on just about any artist by searching Google Video and YouTube. It all seems to have originated with Creed and there are a whole bunch of funny ones shredding that band alone. Here is one of my favorites. Please be advised that this video contains some explicit content and is rated R.

The innovator, music legend and the man who of one of Gibon’s most popular guitars was named after passed away this week due to complications from pnuemonia. Les Paul is credited for the invention of multitrack recording and overdubbing as ell as tape elay and many other popular sound effects. Les Paul is one of the few inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a permanent stand alone exhibit in his honour.

Les Paul died at 94 but hi legend will live on forever through the use of his pioneering playing and recording techniques and his namesake, the Gibson Les Paul guitars.
