He's correct, I can't

[Smellybum]

Tried loads !

For all you JP heads out there - and some nice BFR'ness

[whitestrat]

I can't either! Hahaha!!!

 

[browndog]

Yeah. Right. Thats a big NO on my end.

 

[Spudmurphy]

at that stage I have a 12 bar rest !!!

 

[fbecir]

Well in fact JP can play much faster ... he has some compassion for our poor souls !

I remember buying his instruction-vid like 10 years ago or something. Put it in, pressed play, laughed very loudly out of desperation and disbelief (going 160MPH -> "well, that was slow, let's try it a bit faster"), took it out and put it on the shelf where it remains to this day as a reminder of staying humble. Most expensive single-use item I ever bought me thinks

 

[mbgreene]

I can't even listen that fast

 

[Roubster]

Nice! That's not too bad though...the pattern is not that complicated and looks like a nice exercise for alternate picking.

 

[lumberjack]

Can't even play the slowed version. That's a beautiful BFR.

 

[threeminutesboy]

outta my range too ...

 

[bbake1]

Not here either.

 

[Ricman]

I got the first note nailed..

 

[lumberjack]

I got the first note nailed..

HAHA! I did the exact same thing... Except I was more like "Are you kidding me?! How on earth does he expect mortals to be able to do this?! Must be some kind of joke he is trying to play on us..." Watched it once and it has been banished to my DVD stockpile.. I may actually get it out to have another watch.. maybe I can pick up on something.

Yeah I can't play it at that speed exactly but it's not that hard of a riff.

 

[cjl5150]

Does it count if do a bunch more hammer ons and pull offs? -_-

 

[Jimmyb]

I got the first note nailed..

Cool, I've got the last one!

I reckon at this rate the forum collective could do it!!

That would be actually be a cool thing, all of us play one or two notes on our EBMM's, recording ourselves and speed-editing the thing together as a long chain of knuckleheads . Mail it to John with a card "you see, it's the guitars".
