A lot of cool guitarists in this video. You’ve got Tom Morello, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme. 

Oh, and Brad Paisley? 

He kinda waltzes in wearing his laundry day clothes with his flowery guitar. He casually sits next to virtuoso lead guitarists…

AND OUTSHREDS THEM ALL LIKE A SLEEPER BADASS. 

Turns out Brad is a fantastic guitarist and I guess a lot of his skill is not often allowed to really shine in his country tunes. But in this concert video he plays a bunch of classic guitar riffs FROM MEMORY and probably a bit by ear, including Van Halen. His crowd is a bit confused, and the audio isn’t great, but it’s an impressive display. 

I will not underestimate Mr. Paisley again.
