I just saw this in the NYT:

I've seen the video for Canon Rock by twofun before and thought it was pretty cool. You can see it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8

I hadn't realized there was a controversy over the identity of the guitarist, who turns out to be 23-year-old Lim Jeong-Hyun. Favorite quote from the article:

When I asked Mr. Lim the reason he didn�t show his face on his video, he wrote, �Main purpose of my recording is to hear the other�s suggestions about my playing.� He added, �I think play is more significant than appearance. Therefore I want the others to focus on my fingering and sound. Furthermore I know I�m not that handsome.�

Pachabel's Canon in D Major arranged for electric guitar and played by unknown virtuoso- beautiful, thanks for posting it.

And I guess that's "formerly unknown" now.

Cheesy neo-classical metal is relatively popular in Korea. Lots of guys can play like that here.

NIGEL: ...the numbers all go to eleven. Look...right across the board.

MARTY: Ahh...oh, I see....

NIGEL: Eleven...eleven...eleven....

MARTY: ...and most of these amps go up to ten....

NIGEL: Exactly.

MARTY: Does that mean it's...louder? Is it any louder?

NIGEL: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see,

most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten

here...all the way up...all the way up....

MARTY: Yeah....

NIGEL: ...all the way up. You're on ten on your guitar...where can you go

from there? Where?

MARTY: I don't know....

NIGEL: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is if we need that extra...push over

the cliff...you know what we do?

MARTY: Put it up to eleven.

NIGEL: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

MARTY: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top...

number...and make that a little louder?

NIGEL: ...these go to eleven.
