Watch/rate my guitar contest video please

This is not a representation of how I act/dress in day-to-day life. I am impersonating a Finnish guitarist in an attempt to win a guitar. I'd appreciate your views/rating/comments:

Not sure I get the Finnish aspect but otherwise impressive.

Thanks. Well this is the guitarist I am "impersonating": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZspGWM-aWs Basically in what he wears (clothing, nails, hand tattoos) and his playing and a bunch of other stuff.

To be honest, when I listened to your clip I wasn't really that impressed. The scales and shredding seemed pretty sterile and emotionless.

Then when I looked at the clip of the guy you were impersonating and trying to play like... you nailed his playing style.

[fixationdarknes]

Haha. Indeed, I agree with you. I used to be a huge fan of Alexi, but he's actually far from my favorite guitarist these days for reasons which you just mentioned.

-edit: And actually, if you will watch this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ0PqTiZl4A

It almost fully explains why I did a lot of the things I did in the video.

Guitar reminds of me of what Dave Mustaine used to play.

Not a fan of CoB. Goatwh0re is where it's at!

^^ Hah, Mustaine is tight. I definitely like some of Megadeth's songs.

^ Hm, I've not really heard them before. I'll give a listen. Those black-ish vocals are still sort of unappealing to me kinda, but sometimes the instrumental part of the songs can be interesting.

[Blisster]

yeah there definitely of the 'Blackened Death Metal' type, but they've got some smoking riffs.

Do you have anything of your own work you could share?
