- "BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD
REVIEW IN MOVIE CENTRAL.TV
- Beethoven's Guitar Shred
-
- The Great Kat is actually Katherine Thomas who 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.
According to her website, Guitar One magazine listed her as one
of the "Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time". Certainly she
attacks these tracks with gusto. Shredding is mainly fast
passages along with finger tapping and Kat gets through a number
of well known pieces at breakneck speed.
Her stage get up is all leather and studs, and butch poses, and
it is clear that getting dressed takes longer than the actual
playing.
There are seven main tracks here, with four of them being
classical interpretataions (Flight of the bumble bee, Paganini's
Caprice #24, Beethvens 5th and Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3)
along with some of her own compositions with catchy titles such
as Blood and Islamofascists. The latter show that she is
struggling to introduce creativity at the same time as keeping
up the speed.
The more well known pieces are interesting in as much as you
want to see and hear how she will deal with them, but the whole
seven tracks are over in record time. The rest of the DVD has a
cartoon, which is a 45 second version of flight of the bumblebee
showing her morphing into a monster and whacking giant bees out
of the sky with her guitar, as well as links to websites a fast
moving photo gallery, a hotchpotch of famous characters from the
past and a brief video of Bach's fugue.
There is a budget price of under £6, because of the shortness of
the DVD.
