The Giacomo Turra victims' shred collab is INSANE - YouTube Watch OnEarlier this year, Giacomo Turra – best known for his funk-infused guitar covers on social media – was embroiled in scandal after guitarists and influential figures in the guitar space accused him of stealing their work, monetizing it, and not crediting them. Now, the guitar and bass players who have been wronged by Turra, spearheaded by bassist and YouTuber Charles Berthoud, have teamed up to deliver a mind-bending funk shred track, Slapocalypse Reborn. The title calls back to Berthoud’s own collaboration with Turra on his original composition, Slapocalypse, which he released around a year ago. However, the night before the shoot, Turra sent his collaborator a message on Instagram saying that “he got really sick at NAMM and he’s not gonna be able to make it to the video shoot”. “To me, it was quite clear that he had just chosen to play at NAMM instead of doing our video,” Berthoud added.
