Band: Great Kat Title: Beethoven's Guitar Shred Year Released: 2009 Reviewer: Terry Bunch Rating: 8
This DVD from The Great Kat takes on the familiar journey of speed guitar and tongue-in-cheek humor. There are 7 videos and 3 bonus features as well as an animated clip. The Great Kat shreds these classical pieces: "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Paganini's Caprice 24", Beethoven's "5th Symphony" and Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto 3". There are also three originals, "Blood", "Torture Tactics" and "Islamofascists".
The videos are typical of the style expected and yet this time, The Great Kat shows a level of musical growth and the videos are better directed than her previous efforts.
The only drawback to this DVD is that it is too short, clocking in at a mere 15 minutes or so. Once the DVD is over, you are left wanting more, but alas, the mistress of speed is done with you and you will get no more.
