The Great Kat - Beethoven
Shreds.
The
Great Kat, whose
34 videos have collectively received
over one million hits on YouTube. Kat
has released her eleventh album,
‘Beethoven Shreds’ which includes speed
demon versions of five renowned
classical compositions, lacing these
masterpieces with the fuel and fury of
metal.
Dubbed one of the Top 10 Fastest
Shredders/Guitarists of All Time by
Guitar One Magazine and Guitar World,
The Great Kat, also known as Katherine
Thomas, is a brilliant Juilliard
graduate violin soloist turned shred
guitar goddess. Combining classical
content with thrash ferocity one of
Kat’s signature pieces is
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of
Bumble Bee performed at over 300bpm.
This storm of speed on both guitar and
violin strings plays bafflingly fast, Kat
effectively crashes together two
opposing musical forces with all the
gusto that shines through in her
intimidating performances.
