5/5 Especially recommended for metal fans
  by Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Beethoven's Guitar Shred carries a parental advisory warning with regard to explicit content - specifically, graphic references to torture, including torture devices, blood and playacting victims - as guitar performer Kat (aka Katherine Thomas) refuses to let America indulge in forgetfulness about the human right abuses at Abu Ghraib. "The Great Kat" is shocking to behold regardless, wantonly discarding all cultural preconceptions of female behavior to dress in bloody leather wear and crucifix tattoos. Her guitar performance is beyond energetic, transcending to the level of mania, as she shreds a ferocious medley of Beethoven, Bach, and raw fervor. The seven shred videos share a raucous blend of classical music, heavy metal, and stinging social commentary. Bonus features include a cartoon and hot photos of Kat at her finest (or wildest)! Beethoven's Guitar Shred is truly unforgettable, and especially recommended for metal fans.

4/5 Classical Sliced & Diced!
  by Andrew Melomet (San Francisco, CA USA)
I like my guitars fast and loud. I'm a big fan of Dave Wronski of Slacktone and Gabriela Quintero of Rodrigo y Gabriela. So, I really enjoyed The Great Kat's new DVD- Beethoven's Guitar Shred. The new release features a loud and fast mix of heavy metal and classical played by the leather halter and black fishnet stocking-clad Great Kat with blazing riffs on Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Flight of the Bumble Bee," Beethoven's "5th Symphony," Paginini's "Caprice #24," Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto #3" and Rossini's "William Tell Overture." But be prepared for some bizarre bloody images on the videos for "Torture Techniques," "Blood" and "Islamofascists."


5/5 Guitar Shredding Madness!
  by Guitarfan
Wow! Beethoven's Guitar Shred is the most over-the-top TECHNICAL guitar shredding I have ever heard!! My favorite video is Flight of the Bumble-Bee and Beethoven's 5th, with its really powerful and amazing guitar playing. I have never heard anyone play at these speeds and she's a hot leather-clad dominatrix babe, too! You really have to see this to believe it. The sick thrash metal videos of Torture Techniques and Blood with screams, spikes, studs and cleavage are like a scene from a thriller movie! I also loved the Bumble-bee cartoon. Very entertaining DVD. This is definitely an instant classic. I'm going to show this DVD to all my friends that are into classical or metal. Bow and Obey The Great Kat!
