  • I shot ten hours of performances by School of Rock Show Teams. They were separated by various rounds of of the Shred Contest - here is the second one of three parts.
    Part 1: • School of Rock Shred C...
    Part 2: This video
    Part 3 - Semifinals: • School of Rock Shred C...
    I did not shoot the actual Finals as that occurred at Milwaukee's Summerfest and I did not have a photo/video pass.

    Apparently this was posted somewhere and has become popular. Three parts are on TH-cam. This first round: th-cam.com/video/p0y88Qs0XxU/w-d-xo.html
    Here is the second round: th-cam.com/video/_stDNxIGj6U/w-d-xo.html

      I'm a huge fan of Carter Scofield and have been for years, but his style wasn't going to win a shred contest. He's more melodic and jazzy. My favorite video that I've shot of him is him playing Frank Zappa's _Black Napkins._
      th-cam.com/video/LI6K9cPn6Yc/w-d-xo.html
      By the way, his parents bought their own School of Rock franchise, so he's going to be passing these skills on to the next generation.

    the shredding mostly sucks, but it is mostly just for fun anyway. It should be pointed out that most of these guys are shredding out of their comfort zones and, in day to day playing, I suspect, will be very good at what they normally do. Shredding isn't something anyone can easily do and have it sound meaningful in any way... you need the calibre of Randy Rhoads for that, but even he wasn't a shredder per sé, but he could play fast, beautifully and with meaning "on the fly" because he had the classical experience and understanding to be on point compositionally.

    These kids are playing with an inferior sound. You can hear many of them fighting with the amp just to get the notes out. I think many of them are better then what they sounded like on this video. Give them some delay and a bit of compression. Playing straight through an amp with out any effects to help smooth the sound requires technical perfection that is challenging even for the best players in the world.
    This is a shred contest so technique is a must but tasty phrasing with a technical burst will beat out blind speed 99% of the time. If you come up against the next Shawn Lane you are screwed no matter what, but well thought out phrasing will make you sound respectable even in that situation.
    I don't see too much bashing going on which is good. These kids need to be encouraged and trolls on here can be awful at times.

    I teach music theory main instrument is guitar. I went to visit one of the school of rock's to view their classes. All I saw were teachers teaching requested songs to students. I approached a few students who could run their boxed pentatonic decently, but didn't know how to improvise or even understand what they were playing, some were playing lydian pentatonic with no understanding of it's values? if you want to learn a specific song, I guess that's the place to be. if your really want to master your instrument, I'd look elsewhere. I have students half these kids age who could run circles around these students. Stop pretending to be a rock star and teach them, then watch them become a superstar..

    • @MidWestConcertVideo2
      @MidWestConcertVideo2  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know a dozen School of Rock kids who got into Berklee, so I have good reason to believe they have learned the fundamentals. The program is based upon knowing songs first, and in my experience that keeps the enthusiasm up.

    • @kaybar6225
      @kaybar6225 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MidWestConcertVideo2 I agree, incorporating practical engagement is very important. But teaching songs first is in the best interest of the teacher to keep students, than to teach them to learn the song on their own. There are ways to include practical activities even while teaching music theory. I was one of those students who would walk in with a list of songs and of course the teacher obliged. I eventually joined a heavy metal band and played all the top hair bands note for note. Played in Ozzy fest, did a USO tour and other venues. I later ran into this guitarist who taught at Curtis Institute of Music. long story short, I quickly found out how little I really knew and how proper training opened up a whole new world for me. I got my undergraduate from Curtis and Masters from Juilliard and have enjoyed a very successful music career and now teach. Had I not received the proper training, I'd be working at Jiffy Lube reminiscing of the old days. In today's society, the chances of bands getting rich by touring, well those days are numbered. The competition on the internet is astounding, with You-Tube SoundCloud, Audiomack, iTunes, Spotify. To compete or be accepted, means you need to be on your top game. Learning Randy Rhoads, EVH, John 5 riffs are no longer going to cut it...
