THE GREAT KAT SHRED GUITAR VIRTUOSO (http://www.greatkat.com): "Top 10 Fastest Shredders Of All Time”/“50 Fastest Guitarists Of All Time”/“The 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes”/Juilliard graduate violin virtuoso-turned shred Guitar Goddess/The NEW Beethoven! The Great Kat’s highly-acclaimed new “Beethoven Shreds” CD, showcases popular Classical works brilliantly shredded on the guitar & violin by The Great Kat: Beethoven's “5th Symphony”, “The Flight Of The Bumble-Bee” (at 300 BPM!), Paganini’s “Caprice #24”, Bach's “Brandenburg Concerto #3” and more.

“The Great Kat performs furious, magnificent shreds of Beethoven's classics on both the violin and the electric guitar in this exciting masterpiece, encouraging all generations of music lovers to experience Beethoven in a whole new way. Highly recommended!" - The Midwest Book

"No one in heavy metal has exploited Beethoven to the extent of Katherine Thomas, known as 'The Great Kat.' She does not just play Beethoven. If you believe her, she is Beethoven reincarnated. Loud, blistering fast guitar riffs accompanied by screams, and an aggressive hyper-dominatrix persona. Her act is not subtle. She is direct and flamboyant about her intentions. Her virtuosity is for real."
- "Beethoven in America" Book (Indiana University Press)
