Malmsteen is Slow compared to this Brazillian!

[Robert Burns]

10 finger Tapping... and i think he needs a 36 fret guitar! Wow..
mastery of the fretboard, for sure!

Yeah, that dude was always my favorite "youtube" shredder..he's really good.

[P I K A]

your kidding right? sounded like crap to me,like all mixed up nonsense making no sense.

[sixx_ gunner]

Very good.

am humbled watching that guy making it look sooooo flipping easy.

Sure need to get back to the practicing!

[khabibissell]

Yeah, that guy is really good. I like that other track that he did that was going around.

Not faster then Malmsteen..at all..

Fender Strats are better than Jackson Strats.

[Leo Chang]

Definitely very good chops, and all those "tricks" he does are pretty cool.

But it does seem like he is too preoccupied with cramming his videos full of those "tricks"... he incorporates them very well, but ... it's a bit much.

Watched several of his videos, and they are all like that. There are couple of places where he gets a really good melody / feel going, then he pulls out one of those "tricks" again, and prevents that melody / feel from developing further.

Just my bias, but I think his solos, as insanely good as they are, would be even better if he restricts himself to fewer "tricks".

Put another way, even though he knows all the different soloing techniques ever invented... by always using all of them in all of his solos... they end up sounding pretty much the same.

I agree, but at least he's doing some interesting techniques rather than just running picked scales/sweep arpeggios at high speed like you would see on most "shredder" vids.

[Axewielder]

Impressive tapping, but he's not picking faster than YJM.

[Flatpicker]

Seeing s how YJM doesn't pick all that fast, I could see this guy being faster.

Yngwie's picking is very economical in that way. It's not speed as much as flow.

He's the king of mixing picking and legato, but his picking is fast as fuck.

Oh yeah, I agree bro. One of the biggest turn offs of shred is that a lot of people play the same shit. The same patterns all the time. Accending and decending and that's it. I mean it's cool in some places, we all do it but when most of the solo is like that it gets boring fast. There's so much positions/intervals where you can put your fingers but most people don't put the effort into it. So much time goes into practicing speed but everything is still the most simplistic stuff you can play note wise.
That's why I love some fusion players who first come up with cool interesting melodies played on different positions and then they make it "shred", playing those melodies really fast. Now that's practice. Playing tricky fingerings and whatnot. None of those guys who play C D E F G A B C ad nauseum are raising the bar, I don't care how fast or clean they are.
