The Great Kat - Beethoven's Guitar Shred
TPR
Wow! Very rarely does a DVD come along that
inspires the old "You'll have to see it to believe it!" But such is the
case with The Great Kat's Beethoven's Guitar Shred, an amazing
display of speedy guitar wizardry from a player named one of the "Top 10
Fastest Shredders of All Time" by Guitar One Magazine. Katherine Thomas
is a graduate of Juilliard and a violin virtuoso but when she pulls on
fishnet stockings and squeezes into her revealing lace-up leathers she
becomes The Great Kat, hell on wheels with a Flying V. Beethoven's
Guitar Shred presents Kat's work through seven videos including a
super-quick take on the already fast-paced "The Flight of the
Bumble-Bee" and a metal-meltdown version of Paganini's "Caprice #24."
Kat slices and dices the Paganini composition with precision on guitar
but she also plays a violin part that makes Charlie Daniels' fiddle-off
with the devil on "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" look like a
molasses-dripping contest. The Great Kat plays these seven pieces so
fast that they go by in a heartbeat and while technically this is not a
"teaching" video there are plenty of close-ups of her fretwork that
could be quite helpful to aspiring guitarists if watched repeatedly in
slow motion. Otherwise metal heads will love what's presented here in
both musicianship and eye candy; with her face painted and her
waist-length hair flying as wildly as her fingers The Great Kat makes
for a striking figure. Kat does a version of Beethoven's "5th Symphony"
here and no, it won't have the long-dead composer rolling over in his
grave; more likely he'd be wishing he could join the band.
Get it here.
