Ive always done the cool riffs, but I've never concentrated on learning a whole song.

perhaps he should have used more than 1 take....

This compilation would make for a wicked hard Guitar Hero bonus song...

Hurts my ears a little- as it's not so much a medley as a bunch riffs glued together without any seques. Reminds me of what someone does when trying out a guitar in a shop.

Enter Sandman to Mister Sandman was funny

Bah and humbug, as dag said, it's just a bunch of rifts cobbled together. It's not a 'medley', there's no melody. There's no segue between each.

A whole ol' pile of meh from me.

As someone who doesn't make a habit of visiting guitar shops (bought some drum sticks for Rock Band, once, which I'm off to play right now), or listening to live music at all, that was a neat bit of trivia/nostalgia.

He butchered most of the riffs and his tone is horrible (to me anyway).

Non sequitur riffs make baby jesus cry.

Room micing at low volume is definitely not the path to ultimate electric guitar tone.

Guitar? Rubbish. The future is all accordions.

And to boot, technically "Come as You Are" is a bass riff.

Just like the first average guy who played Pacabel's Cannon on a guitar, this is begging for someone with much more talent to come along and make it a classic.
