Because dream it and you can achieve it (unless you’re painfully unqualified like most of the people I meet and try to inspire in real life), this is a video of musician Charles Berthoud covering Scott Joplin’s classic of all ragtime classics ‘The Entertainer’, with a fingerstyle performance on electric
533 attempts in the making, this is a video of Guitar Hero 2 world record holder CarnyJared full combo-ing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Free Bird’ at 300% speed. Talk about fingers of fury! Jared says he has all the Guitar Hero 2 world records now, which I can neither confirm nor disconfirm,

I’m not gonna lie, it’s a real toe-tapper. At least one, and possibly all eleven if you
This is a delightful video of vocalist Jared Halley performing a multi-track cover of Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers’ Halloween classic ‘Monster Mash’ with his 10-year old son Noah. And, unlike anything else you’ll probably see or hear on the internet today, this was just good, clean fun. Enjoy
