Funky Video Friday: 2008 Guitar World Record

Hello and Happy Friday!  We made it through yet another grueling week of work and by now, we all deserve a break.  Talk about deserving a break, how about the star of this week’s Funky Video Friday?!  I’m fairly sure, and I can state this with absolute certainty, that if we could get our hands moving fast enough to play the guitar at a mind-blowing 320 beats per minute, we’d all need a huge, 10 year huge, break as well.

That’s right, this week we’re going to be checking out the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records’s winner for Fastest Guitar Player in the world.  His name is Tiago Della Vega and he is unreal.  I don’t know what else I can even attempt to add to this, you just have to watch and see for yourself.  At 120 bpm he looks nothing short of bored.  Wow.

Enjoy the video, enjoy your weekend and start submitting ideas for videos YOU want to see on Funky Video Friday!

Funky Video Friday: Heidi Klum Goes “Risky Business”

This is a slight departure from last week’s Funky Video Friday.  While this isn’t Hendrix rocking, I have a pretty good feeling that 99.99% of all you gentlemen out there.  You all remember the scene in Risky Business, Tom Cruise sliding across the floor, air guitarring his way into cinematic history.  Some of you might have even seen the newest version with famous basketball players recreating the scene.  I have a pretty good feeling some of you have also seen this version, but for all of you who haven’t…You’re Welcome.

This week’s Funky Video Friday is none other than top supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum recreating that very same famous scene.  Sliding across the floor?  Check.  Long button up shirt?  Check.  Guitar Hero Guitar?  Check.  Guitar Hero, your marketing people are genius.

Without further ado, enjoy this week’s Funky Video Friday!  Have a great weekend and we’ll see you Monday!

Funky Video Friday: Hendrix Rocking

Happy Friday friends.  Today we’re going to start rocking what is going to be a new feature on GuitarBassMan…funky, awesome, rare and unique guitar videos every Friday morning.  Why not start your weekend off a little early with some rare glimpses into rock and roll past, present and future with some video proof of everything from hardcore shredding to tearjerking acoustic solos?

To start things off, I thought who better to start things off with than one of the best, of the best, of the best of all time, Jimi Hendrix?  This is obviously from a long, long time ago and is a pretty awesome, fun performance of Purple Haze and shows just how laid back Hendrix is when he’s playing.

Without further ado, enjoy Hendrix, enjoy Purple Haze and more than anything, enjoy your weekend.  Got any videos you are dying to see, or any videos you think we should all enjoy?  Leave us some comments, leave us an email, or send us some recommendations!
