Part 1: • School of Rock Shred C...

I did not shoot the actual Finals as that occurred at Milwaukee's Summerfest and I did not have a photo/video pass.

Apparently this was posted somewhere and has become popular. Three parts are on RUclips. This first round: ruclips.net/video/p0y88Qs0XxU/видео.html
Here is the second round: ruclips.net/video/_stDNxIGj6U/видео.html
...and the Semifinals: ruclips.net/video/Ns8Kc-uTuns/видео.html
I did not shoot the actual Finals as that occurred at Milwaukee's Summerfest and I did not have a photo/video pass. Sorry. The winner was Lucas from Seattle (the kid with the purple hair.)
i realize I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Logan Jonah i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Khalid Trevor Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
@Khalid Trevor thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!!
@Logan Jonah Glad I could help xD
Fast is fun and shows mad skills, but...it’s the 3Ts...taste, timing, tone. Speed is cool, but
Taste
Timing
Tone
BB King was famous for saying less is more. One well placed note/bend is worth 400 taps.
calm down, their just trying to have fun
I think a lot of them start with the Key of E, like the solo from Whole Lotta Love, then go to some variation of Eruption.
Loved Lucas despite the battery issue that went on haha/ Awesome contest!
2:13 to 2:53 now this guy has some serious chops...!
I'm a huge fan of Carter Scofield and have been for years, but his style wasn't going to win a shred contest. He's more melodic and jazzy. My favorite video that I've shot of him is him playing Frank Zappa's _Black Napkins._

By the way, his parents bought their own School of Rock franchise, so he's going to be passing these skills on to the next generation.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 cool, thanks for the info :-) I was watching his face during some of the other guys' solos, he looks like a natural to me, this guy does not play or learn music - he's one with the music, and probably ANY music, unless it's Helene Fischer or Engelbert, but maybe even then. xD when he got ready to play, my first thought was: "guthrie govan". pretty close. ;-) nice to see the kids shred, makes me wanna practice more :-)
Gibson SG with the Fender strap is a felony
Man he needs that truss bar set a little better must be some humidity in the building because the one dude sounded good but sounded like the neck swelled sounded a little flat
2024 here! 😂🎉
Sweet little black and white telecaster
Is shredding now about improving fast pentatonic minor scales!?
Kid from winnipeg with the charvel was probably the best
I like the red Gibson SG with a Fender strap. Quite funny.
Homeboy had trouble getting started but he was good
Dude with the guitar issues tore it up !!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucas with the purple hair from Seattle eventually won.
Fast and CLean. Liked him the best !`
Kid with the black strat at 5:00 was the cleanest
Where can I find the final round and winner of the shred contest?

Where is the all the chosen?
2:20 guthrie fan also the best one
when they think its the amp but the battery for the pickups is dead
11:08 nice sweeps
the kid with the purple hair had a dead battery...emg active pickups...why did no one figure that one out?!
Who knows? Honestly, he should have known, but he might have just acquired the instrument, or maybe he had borrowed it?
i thought it was common knowledge that emgs have batteries lmao. oh well they figured it out after 2 minutes
@@dylan.606 They forgot to tell him "Batteries Not Included". You got to give him credit, at least he made sure his guitar had Strings on it.
gotta give props to the kid that lent his own guitar. that was a great bit of showmanship
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Especially after he SWitched freakin Amps, Duh.... Wow.
The kid from San Antonio I think showed more Improvisation on guitar than the rest . my choice hands down . truthfully though most were just
meh
When your EMG needs a new Battery 🤦♂️
Excuse me but who won? We got names but where are they? who are they? why are they not standing out front so we know who they are?
The final competition was conducted on the grounds of Milwaukee's Summerfest, and I didn't have a photo video pass to go in and record it. Lucas with the purple hair from Seattle won.
I can't shred.
But I make a great melted cheese sandwich.
Mom and dad love where there money went.
amp issues, how bout dead battery issues
OOOOOOOOHHHH WEELLLLLLLL, DUUUHHHHH .......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all remind me of burnt out wicks, heheheeeeeee!!!
Damn kids, slow down!😅
Sometimes less is more.
don't try and ruin the fun
the shredding mostly sucks, but it is mostly just for fun anyway. It should be pointed out that most of these guys are shredding out of their comfort zones and, in day to day playing, I suspect, will be very good at what they normally do. Shredding isn't something anyone can easily do and have it sound meaningful in any way... you need the calibre of Randy Rhoads for that, but even he wasn't a shredder per sé, but he could play fast, beautifully and with meaning "on the fly" because he had the classical experience and understanding to be on point compositionally.
First kid and Lucas
Believe it or not I like the last kid best he plays rough not polished like the old guitarists like Jimmy Page or Blackmore. Someone who can actually solo is a lot better than a shedder.
Dale Steffens Amen to that! Soul and feeling!
@@jdkennedy77 sometimes it's not about the notes you play but the ones you leave out. Sometimes noodling just gets messy with no feel to it
XA351GT Absolutely agree. I made another comment on this string or another quoting B.B.King wherein paraphrasing “less is more.” One great bend can be better than 90!
@@jdkennedy77 except this is about fun not projecting your emotions into every note
3kid killed it
3:05 my boys a metal head with a clean ass tone lowkey 2nd behind guthrie jr at 2:20
But the purple hair guy at 11:10 is a close 3rd maybe first if he had his guitar
Lucas with the purple hair won the whole thing the next day.
In my opinion the red hair girl is the best
Mine as well, but she won the title the previous year, and I don't think the judges wanted to give it to the same person two years in a row.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 OH NOOOØ... SPOILER ALERT, L😎L!
🥴... 🤯I couldn't wait to get to the last video either, LoL🤣😂
as far as i'm concerned the long haired kid was the best, despite his facial expressions
All that and not 1 actual song was played...Not Impressed..
It was a shred contest. Nothing but plank wanking. All of these young people were there with their House Bands playing real music the rest of the day - nine and a half hours of music.
These kids are playing with an inferior sound. You can hear many of them fighting with the amp just to get the notes out. I think many of them are better then what they sounded like on this video. Give them some delay and a bit of compression. Playing straight through an amp with out any effects to help smooth the sound requires technical perfection that is challenging even for the best players in the world.
This is a shred contest so technique is a must but tasty phrasing with a technical burst will beat out blind speed 99% of the time. If you come up against the next Shawn Lane you are screwed no matter what, but well thought out phrasing will make you sound respectable even in that situation.
I don't see too much bashing going on which is good. These kids need to be encouraged and trolls on here can be awful at times.
These excuses won't help these kids man
all these kids suck besides like one or two of them...
@@johnleo6095 id bet they are all better than you.
Either the audio on this recording is "garbage" or these shred vids are the most anticlimactic contests -- ever. (aside from a couple real standouts)
Nunca ouvi tanto solo ruim em um unico video.
I teach music theory main instrument is guitar. I went to visit one of the school of rock's to view their classes. All I saw were teachers teaching requested songs to students. I approached a few students who could run their boxed pentatonic decently, but didn't know how to improvise or even understand what they were playing, some were playing lydian pentatonic with no understanding of it's values? if you want to learn a specific song, I guess that's the place to be. if your really want to master your instrument, I'd look elsewhere. I have students half these kids age who could run circles around these students. Stop pretending to be a rock star and teach them, then watch them become a superstar..
I know a dozen School of Rock kids who got into Berklee, so I have good reason to believe they have learned the fundamentals. The program is based upon knowing songs first, and in my experience that keeps the enthusiasm up.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 I agree, incorporating practical engagement is very important. But teaching songs first is in the best interest of the teacher to keep students, than to teach them to learn the song on their own. There are ways to include practical activities even while teaching music theory. I was one of those students who would walk in with a list of songs and of course the teacher obliged. I eventually joined a heavy metal band and played all the top hair bands note for note. Played in Ozzy fest, did a USO tour and other venues. I later ran into this guitarist who taught at Curtis Institute of Music. long story short, I quickly found out how little I really knew and how proper training opened up a whole new world for me. I got my undergraduate from Curtis and Masters from Juilliard and have enjoyed a very successful music career and now teach. Had I not received the proper training, I'd be working at Jiffy Lube reminiscing of the old days. In today's society, the chances of bands getting rich by touring, well those days are numbered. The competition on the internet is astounding, with You-Tube SoundCloud, Audiomack, iTunes, Spotify. To compete or be accepted, means you need to be on your top game. Learning Randy Rhoads, EVH, John 5 riffs are no longer going to cut it...
Some of this talented kids had some cheap a$$ pick ups.
I guess there's no way to win. If a kid has a top-quality guitar, some jealous jerk goes and gives him crap about it.
where they getting the money for these expensive guitars with lacking skills lol im not hating but damn that dude with that les paul standard really needs to get his money back cause that's just wasted money.
Maybe it was a gift from an uncle who had to give up his own rock dreams?
could be a possibility, but with that high end of an instrument, he needed to atleast get some lessons on how to play before stepping into a shred competition. I mean it wasn't even in tune.
@@daviddurfee9960 The thing about this contest is it was open to anybody, from any of the School of Rock locations. I honestly only put this up for the parents and I had no idea this would become such a popular video. Were you impressed with any of the kids?
oh I was impressed by some of them, I like seeing stuff like this. only thing I don't like is when a couple kids get on stage and play nothing but jiberish. at least put some effort into what you play if you are going to play in front of a lot of people.
terrible fret and finger work.
WTH is this?? Good skills, fast fingers.... meaningless composition?? A BUNCH OF GARBLED NOISE is all I hear....I don’t get it!?
Some need to sit down and practice just garbage
