People who know my guitar playing have kept telling me to put my stuff up on YouTube, because they told me that there is nobody on Youtube who can play like me, that's what they said anyway. So I finally put up some videos, a few days ago.
Here's one of the videos:

(there are annotation links in the video too)

Well, what do you think?
EDIT:
hmmm....I sounded a little bit too much like an egomaniac in the original post above. But hey, online you can be anything you want, and Matt Makaha isn't my real name, if you live in Hawaii you'll know Makaha isn't a surname, but a place on the west side of Oahu, LOL! Anyway, I should have added some other links like this one--
not technical playing, but I got great tone on this particular day, because I was using an ADA MP1 and a Mosvalve head and I happened to place the microphone in the perfect spot in front of the speaker cabinet, and when you have a great tone, you tend to play better and play with more feeling:

I actually like the orignal version of the first link better actually, from long ago, not super fast shredding or anything, but I was using the same set-up as the second link:

i think you have good a good hold on that finger tapping technique ,but it is not unique and your not the best in the world at it,satriani does it great and i think buckethead is the best at that stye of tapping i have seen.Your good ,could probably make it as a semi pro guitarist ,but not best in the world ,sorry.

Thats shit bores me to death. No emotion at all. You def have a nice sized ego though you are way way far from the best. I can't see Page, Clapton, Hendrix, and YOU getting uttered in the same breath any time soon.

I likes your acoustic video much better. I think it was much more interesting and showed your true talents which an acoustic will expose. Why hide that talent with excessive reverb?
No doubt you know your shit but why the arrogance? I can show you a 65 yo man tear it up yet he is humble. Note how he progresses smoothly in his intensity and emotion.

Far as speed, MAB has it, tho shear excellence goes to buckethead hands down, anyone who argues the point just isnt very familiar with BH....

Thanks for the compliments!
I could have gone the opposite way and said "I totally suck....please watch my video" but I don't think that would work well either. Besids Matt Makaha is my alias on YouTube, like Kid Rock is not his real name. In real life, I'm a pretty humble guy.

Fastest? Actually, there are actually Guinness Book record holders.

Anyway, here's someone probably faster, better, and (AFAIK) doesn't proclaim himself the "Guitar God".

As I mentioned above, Matt Makaha isn't even my real name, it's my alias on YouTube, like Kid Rock isn't his real name. In real life, I'm a pretty humble guy. But as I also mentioned, you can go one of two ways online, either be humble and no one will click on your video, or you go the opposite route to get people to watch your video.

I guess I just don't understand the whole YouTube thing and pop culture in general. We have some old Korean dancing guy and that kid with the hair battling for the most watch vids while people who really are awesome go unnoticed by most. Maybe you're right - if you want to make it, you have to label yourself a god or wear a meat dress or something.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. I'm only learning the piano - too old to ever be any good, but I think it makes me appreciate those who share even more.
