[From Banned From YouTube: Parody Guitar Videos | The Underwire from Wired.com]
The shredder got banned from Youtube! This is one of my all time favorite series of parody videos. Basically Santeri Ojala takes a video where one or more "guitar gods" are playing, and then he records his own music over them. The results are extraordinary.
The first one I saw was with Carlos Santana. I had no idea what was going on, but I couldn't understand why it sounded so terrible. Not only Carlos was horrible, but everyone in his band was playing completely off-key, yet the music was obviously in sync with the video. I thought I smelled a rat, so I checked his list of videos and tried one with Paco de Lucia. Same thing, everything was in sync, but the music was horrible.
That's when I got the joke. Just plain beautiful. By the time I was done watching the third video, Iron Maiden's, I had laughed so hard that I almost got an asthma attack.
By the way, here's Santeri Ojala playing side-by-side with Slash:
