And she is precise like a clock (I mean an atom-clock here). One of the best guitar plays on this globe. Her technique is incredible and cannot be copied by most of the guitarist out there. Every guitar hero fan can enjoy watching this. One of the best guitarist on this planet." - By Cy Ghul, Ghul Productions (Germany)
 
NEW! MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW'S 5 STARS REVIEW OF "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD ON AMAZON.COM! "Especially recommended for metal fans." By Midwest Book Review"Her guitar performance is beyond energetic, transcending to the level of mania, as she shreds a ferocious medley of Beethoven, Bach, and raw fervor. A raucous blend of classical music, heavy metal, and stinging social commentary. Beethoven's Guitar Shred is truly unforgettable, and especially recommended for metal fans." - James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
 
"The Great Kat is a leather-clad dominatrix who plays lightning-fast metal versions of the classics. This is sex meets shred as Kat rips through The Flight Of The Bumble Bee on electric guitar at 300 beats per minute." - Paul Cole, Sunday Mercury
 
"The Great Kat should be feared because her hyper-blasting, neo-classical, whirlwind guitar playing is so precise and intense. This woman really is a better guitarist than most men ever were. Beethoven’s Guitar Shred DVD is a portable clinic of seemingly inhuman guitar antics.  Dominating torture, blood, fire, anti-terrorist sentiments – all wrapped in an oddly tasteful, hyper-classical visual feast." - Mark Morton, Heavy Metal Examiner
 
"Blood + Beethoven + metal = Great Kat. Uber-fast metal guitar wiz. She performed Beethoven tunes at top volume covered in blood and shrouded in flames." - Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
 
"She possesses a prodigious talent, a virtuosic precision that allows her to play classical transcriptions on her guitar at upwards of 300 beats per minute.  The Great Kat is one of those outsize performing personas as well as a masterful musician." - Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
 
THE GREAT KAT: "50 FASTEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME" - Guitar World MagazineGUITAR WORLD MAGAZINE NAMES THE GREAT KAT "50 FASTEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME"!
"The Great Kat. SIGNATURE SONG: 'The Flight of the Bumble Bee'. Beethoven on Speed
It’s hard to know whether the Great Kat’s thrash metal interpretations of classical music compositions are meant to be taken seriously—especially when her albums have titles like Beethoven on Speed, Bloody Vivaldi and Rossini’s Rape—but when this Juilliard-trained virtuoso plays it’s certainly no joke. With a heavy leather dominatrix persona so over the top that she makes Yngwie Malmsteen seem like Tony Randall, the Great Kat would make a fine role model for young ladies who want to shred if she didn’t scare the living s**t out of them." - Guitar World Magazine

LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON ONLINE FEATURES THE GREAT KAT'S "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "The Great Kat, who you may know as one of the fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in the universe. I popped it in, and was delighted to find some of the greatest heavy metal videos ever made. This lady is hard core. She plays Beethoven's symphonies the way he always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood."  - Sara Schaefer, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon BlogLATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON ONLINE FEATURES THE GREAT KAT'S "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "The Great Kat, who you may know as one of the fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in the universe.

She plays Beethoven's symphonies the way he always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood."  - Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Online
 
"Move over, Jamie Foxx. The Soloist's insanely genius Juilliard apprentice is up against some formidable competition, and she's female. The Great Kat is basically showing the male competition how it's done, better and faster.  Her raging, fast forward in real time Beethoven's Guitar Shred is like nothing that has come before. A mix 'n match medley of Beethoven, Bach, Abu Ghraib and Islamic insurgency. A classical/metal lovers everywhere wakeup call, these mini-musicals for guitar, violin and machete could very well blow your mind." - Prairie Miller, NewsBlaze
 
"'Beethoven's Guitar Shred', a DVD featuring Kat's way over the top imagery and absolutely mindblowing guitar playing. Kat's technique through out the DVD has to be seen and heard to be believed; one can practically smell the fretboard frying." - WestSide Dave Webzine
 
"The Great Kat has launched her new DVD in which the extraordinary guitarist includes classic works by the deaf genius (Beethoven), Bach and Paganini. Katherine Thomas broke speed records by playing the famous piece "The Flight of the bumblebee" at a dizzying 300 beats per minute. A fierce guitarist specializing in heavy metal versions of the classics." - Guillermo Aguilera, Contenido (Mexico)
 
"Today one of the best ('shredding') is The Great Kat. Kat really is original and inventive and like nothing that has come before. One might compare her to Janis Joplin." - Chuck N. Baker, Veterans Reporter
 
"Ultra-Speed Metal of incredible dexterity. She lays her hands with incredible ready fingers and flying speed on the works of great masters. Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto, and of course the famous Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov shredded at full speed. This is technically impressive." - Matthias Kerber, Abendzeitung (Germany)
 
"To the beat of Beethoven at Full Speed. The extraordinary guitarist in this work shows a strong and terrifying personality. A DVD for heavy people, a strange mixture of rock, classical music, hemoglobin, some sex and terror." - Guillermo Aguilera, Supermexicanos (Mexico)
 
"Beethoven's Guitar Shred DVD: Burkas And Tattoos. Alternately donning pink ribbon decked assorted retro-Victoria's Secret knockoff period cleavage with bloody leather wear, burkas and crucifix tattoos, Kat slings manically fuming guitars and violins on stage." - Prairie Miller, Critical Women On Film Journal
 
"Leather-clad shred guitarist Kat Thomas tears into a selection of classical pieces at breakneck speed including Rimsky-Korsakov's 'The Flight of the Bumble Bee', Paganini's Caprice 24, Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Bach's Brandenburg Concerto."  - Borders U.K.
 
"She can shred like a monster goddess. Her music of choice is Beethoven, Rossini, and Wagner. Think you've heard Flight of the Bumble Bee? Try it from a long haired, leather clad dominatrix with an axe." - Brix Picks
 
"The Great Kat is a Long Island metal shredder who prefers the works of Beethoven and Wagner to lay into. Love her." - Brittany, Rotating Corpse
 
"This DVD from The Great Kat takes on the familiar journey of speed guitar and tongue-in-cheek humor." - Terry Bunch, Metal Life Magazine
 
"'Beethoven's Fifth' and 'Paganini's Caprice #24' get a boost of amphetamines, going by in a blur of notes that's over nearly as soon as it starts. Shredder acrobatics and shocking stage show. The Great Kat's place as one of the top 10 fastest guitar-shredders in the world is definitely secure! I can highly recommend these to all fans of hers. Hear some classics played at speeds you can scarcely imagine while have your senses shaken in every conceivable way." - Nolan B. Canova, Nolan's Pop Culture Review
 
"Another great DVD issued by the Great Kat. She looks great, she plays harder, as always the Great Kat is above the rest. Paganini done by the Great Kat is how it should be done." - Jason Saulnier, Radio Host, Good Time Metal Oldies Radio Show
 
"THE GREAT KAT is well-known as the virtuoso of guitar and the violin as well as as the original interpreter of works of classic music: Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, Paganini and others. The artist is the champion of shredding. The works are played with improbable speed - these are the very quick, mad and furious compositions full of solos as well as brutal screams." - Gnom, Metal Centre Webzine
 
"The original Queen of scream and metal shred returns with a collections of videos on one powerful DVD of intense metals that only THE GREAT KAT can deliver." - Billy Whitfield, Toxic Flyer Zine
 
"BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD RATES 10 OUT OF 10 in FROSTER ONLINE UKRAINIAN METAL PORTAL!
 
"Blood + Beethoven + metal = Great Kat. Uber-fast metal guitar wiz. She performed Beethoven tunes at top volume covered in blood and shrouded in flames." - Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
 
"The Great Kat has stamped a place in metal as not only a virtuoso but also as a fiery character. This DVD is a collection of her performing as a metal maiden, and the music videos are as enticing as they are entertaining.  It is indeed a treat to see any person play instruments at such punishing tempo." - Bill Zebub, The Grimoire
 
"The Great Kat is famous for her thrash metal interpretations of well known pieces of classical music. Although she is an accomplished violinist, this concentrates on her virtuoso use of the electric guitar.  Kat gets through a number of well known pieces at breakneck speed." - David Burbidge, Movie Central.TV
 
"'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' is ultrafast. 'The Flight Of The Bumble-Bee' rules. It runs at the speed of light and beyond." - Psychotron, Stereo Invaders
 
"This juggernaut of jammin', ferocity of the fretboard, steamrolla of rock-and-rolla is, of course, THE GREAT KAT!!! BEETHOVEN’S GUITAR SHRED, the new DVD multi-media extravaganza which is nothing short of an aural and visual blitzkrieg." - Thom Copher, Heavy Metal Hog
 
"Very exact instrumental interpretations and always at full speed." - Eloy Teixido, Won E'mer Webzine
 
"She possesses a prodigious talent, a virtuosic precision that allows her to play classical transcriptions on her guitar at upwards of 300 beats per minute.  The Great Kat is one of those outsize performing personas as well as a masterful musician." - Read Entire Review Now! By Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
 
"Not for the weak of heart! This is one seriously wild ass ride!" - DJ Foothill, HighSpeed Magazine
 
FINANCIAL TIMES "BOWLED OVER, BEETHOVEN" FEATURES THE GREAT KAT'S "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD! "Beethoven’s music performed by The Great Kat, a Juilliard-trained musician and one of the fastest 'shredders' of all time. Beethoven’s Fifth that is played with absurd velocity on an electric guitar.  Beethoven can never have found himself in odder company than that of The Great Kat, and I amused myself thinking what he would have made of it all. I like to imagine one of his furious temper tantrums. But Mozart, a more ribald soul, would surely have found it hilarious."  - Peter Aspden, Financial Times
 
"On the new DVD 'Beethoven's Guitar Shred', The Great Kat (a.k.a. Katherine Thomas) buzzes through 'Flight of the Bumblebee' at a mind-numbing 300 beats per minute. The classically trained musician claims to be one of planet's fastest guitar players, and who can argue?" - Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune
 
"The Great Kat’s guitar playing is ridiculously fast. Kat Thomas' tears in to The Flight Of the Bumble Bee with accuracy and speed. Her shred rendition of Paganini’s Caprice #24 is also at a mind-blowing speed. Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is nimble, precise and fast. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto ends the classical shred on this DVD with a bang and really leaves you wanting more." - Scott, Metal Martyr
 
"The Great Kat plays at lightening speed that it’s impossible to see her fingers moving up and down the fret. Layers upon layers of intricate fast guitar playing that will make grown men and women sell their guitars. The Great Kat is a musical enigma bringing together what some might consider God’s soundtrack and the Devil’s music in a raging war. Great stuff." - Jim Ody, RoomThirteen Magazine
 
FAN REVIEW of "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD: "Modern, thunderous fusion of classical music and shred guitar. I myself have never heard anything as fast as what I just heard on your latest DVD.  Monumental product of perseverance, wit, charm and intellect together with blood, sweat, tears and, most abundantly, raw genius." - Abbas Jaffary
 
FAN COMMENTS on THE GREAT KAT:
There are no words to do justice to your abilities with our instrument. I don’t think I have heard a classical or so called neoclassical musician do what you seem to do without effort." - Peter Roy
 
"The Great Kat takes guitar playing, classical music, and performance wow-ness to a whole new level. She's outrageous, dangerous, and ferocious -- she's The Great Kat - and if you haven't heard her play yet, after you ingest this DVD you'll never be the same." - Melanie 'Sass' Falina, UnRated Magazine
 
"FASTER, PUSSYKAT! KILL! KILL!" "The Great Kat is tearing the masters a fresh one on her new DVD, Beethoven's Guitar Shred. 'Flight of the Bumblebee,' in the hands of the Great Kat, becomes a teeth-gnashing, sphincter-seizing assault. The chick diddles the fret board like her digits are nothing less than an industrial machine." -  - Jeanne F., Decibel Magazine
 
"Guitar aficionados marvel at the speed of her playing and her ability to maintain such precision despite that speed. Get a feel for what she's all about while watching her fingers fly up and down the frets. Pick up a copy and shred." - Larry McCloskey, Domain Cleveland
 
"The world famous musical phenomenon that is called The Great Kat is back with an awesome DVD. An outstanding achievement on how Great Kat can shred these classical pieces of music and turn them into extreme Speed Metal with her genius virtuosity. Her ability to melt our ear drums with her furious shredding guitar technique." - Yiannis Z., Metal Temple
 
"Her ability to dazzle you with her speed and skill are not to be missed. The classical music selections highlight not only her shred virtuosity on the guitar, but violin as well. Witness her lightning speed and blinding virtuosity. While she is indeed quick and nimble on the strings, she plays with a clarity and exactness that belies her swiftness." - Michael E. Carver, Michael's Movie Mayhem
 
"The sheer virtuosity of the woman is nothing short of flabbergasting. I liked very much her rendition of Bach's 3rd Brandenburg concerto. I have heard other versions including the famous Switched On Bach version from Wendy Carlos and Kat's version deserves a place in the list of famous interpretations of this masterpiece."  Jerry Fielden, MetalAngels Productions
 
"Ultimate, electrifying, incandescent, revolutionary musician." - Naja Kemp, Peter Kemp's Theatre
"'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' is entertaining from beginning to end. Jaw-dropping 'The Flight Of The Bumble-Bee'. She's playing classical music tunes on an electric guitar at around 300 beats per minute and you can hear every note. Man, she nails it!" Rating: 4 stars out of 4. - R. Scott Bolton, Rough Edge

"What a blast! This DVD was something else! Very fast guitar and violin playing, a loud mixture of heavy metal and classical played by a buxom gal in a leather halter and black fish net stockings. Talk about roll over Beethoven! I enjoyed the mutant classical stuff on this DVD and plan on sharing it with other classical music/loud guitar fans." - Andrew M, Home Theater Forum

"Genius at work in this metal masterpiece. This Juilliard-trained violinist puts her intensely fast fingers to new use playing some of the fastest shredding you’re ever going to hear on both electric guitar and violin. Amazing version of 'Flight of the Bumblebee.'" - Jonathan Knell, Campus Circle
 
"Simply Astounding. The Great Kat lets her fingers fly on the guitar as Beethoven would let his fingers fly on the piano. I would recommend this to any metal fan. This DVD comes fully loaded and if you wish to a see a truly talented artist, this is a Must have DVD." - David Slaughter, Blade Radio
 
"'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' is a very pleasant surprise! I am now able to watch her shredding on the guitar and enjoying every minute. I would give The Great Kat's 'Beethoven's Guitar Shred' a big thumbs up." - Dennis Day, D-Day's Revenge
 
"Has to be heard to be believed! The performance on both instruments is simply flawless." - Asgardlord, The Forgotten Scroll
