Guitarists rate this playing on a 1-10 scale

I give this a 3. It just sounds bad. Might be a little biased because I’m not a fan. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/D4Ol8fnFyRg

WTF? Does this dude think he is Ken from the Barbie movie? What's with all the pink and don't get me started on all the ridiculous tattoos. What a F'ing poser. I don't care that he is throwing it in Megan Fox, Dude looks like a total wanna be.

I can play it better so he definitely SUCKS!

It’s an easy solo, so I’d give him 4 out of 100.

Another vote for a 4.

Horrible reverbed-out white boy tone, not a lot of feel, sitting down and concentrating for a solo that isn’t particularly difficult. He’s got basic competence I guess.

It’d be a 3 but technically this is an improvement for MGK’s cover song skills vs. his butchering of “Aerials” a year or two ago.

it's competent i guess...tone is way too wet for my taste...learning someone else's solo and writing a great solo are two very different things though...d.m.

Is that Unforgiven? I was sort of able to place what he was doing.

If Megan is just filming him messing around, then it's a bit unfair to judge it as if it was a performance live or on Stern. Dude was a white rapper till a few years ago, now he's a pop punker, famous person, and is fucking Megan Fox anally. Exactly when would he have the time to woodshed in a room like some guy who worships Dream Theater?

Not great. Not bad. Obviously too much reverb.

He’s fucking Megan Fox? He’s a genius. Amazing.

He needs to make another diss track against Eminem.

Even though Eminem killed him, it's time for Round 2.
