Rob Scallon‘s quirky entertainment knows no bounds because the YouTube star by no means fails to impress. He has been celebrating ‘May-Tallica’ all month with video tributes to the thrash legends. This video might be the very best one yet as three individuals play Metallica‘s “One” on one guitar!
The 8 string axe is Scallon’s own signature model from Chapman, highlighted in opposition to a black background. All that’s seen are the hands of every guitar participant, assuming the roles of lead guitar, rhythm guitar and bass. Everybody has seen the stage move where guitarists are going to reach over and play one another’s guitars or team up to play one guitar together, however this footage takes the antics to another level.
A fifth hand enters the fold taking on the bass position, merely using one finger to play the root notes on the top string. Amazingly, there is enough room for all 3 parts of the …And Justice for All song to be played with out compromise and things get much more interesting at the mid-section where all of the parts pick up in complexity and the fingers take turns at playing certain moments. The spotlight of the video comes towards the end where the tapping solo begins and the rhythm’s intensity is at an apex.
His other ‘May-Tallica’ tribute videos have additionally included a banjo cover of “Master of Puppets” along with a wild keytar solo, a ukulele cover of “Blackened” and a riff medley running by way of each Metallica track in chronological order, clocking in at a hair under 4 minutes!
