Joe Stump FAQHere is an article on one of my favorite guitar teachers and players. Jimmy and Krystel love watching Joe Stumps shred metal video on berklee press. They said Joe was very fun to watch- indeed he is. Joe was my private instructor for the last half of my Berklee days. I've had some people ask me questions about my time spent with him so I am here to share answers to all the Joe Stump fanatics world wide. Here are some FAQ's. Does Joe always wear black?Yes. He has some cool red boots and some snakeskin boots. He also had a cool evil looking purple shirt. But mostly black.Did he always have all his jewelry on?Yes, always. Everytime he did vibrato you could hear the bracelets jingle. I was thinking of getting him some jewelry for his birthday but I got him a dimarzio clip lock strap instead.Is he fast?Uh yeah!? running around the metronome at sixteenth notes at 180-200 bpms effortlesly is pretty fast. I have an excerpt from young guitar magazine that had some lessons he gave in that issue with a lick running straight up a scale at sextuplets at 160 bpm. thats from beyond fast!how does he play so fast?his diet during my lessons consisted of coffee and an apple. I guess all the coffee.I hope that answers some thoughts -Britt Burch 8.29.2005 |
