Baddest axes I have ever seen! I love that slim body Ibanez and the X style Dean. Phenomenal playing, although the the quick wrist flip move on the fretting hand doesn't seem to produce a unique sound. More form than function I guess.
@sparksphilip Yeah his Over-Under Technique (that really is what he calls it) is all about stage precense; there's really no sonic purpose to it. But its because of techniques like that, and his double guitar of course, that he puts on such great shows. Btw, that's a Dean, not an Ibanez; Batio's all Dean. That "Ibanez" you're referring to is his MAB1 Armorflame.
watching these unbelievably talented guitarists play is always inspiring in that it often makes me think "one day maybe even i can do that!"...seriously though...2:30 i...physically am not able to do that
Well i know, that some people exaggerate...but 2:29 - 3:00 is almosly illegal to show XD Michael Angelo Batio IS ACTUALLY A GOD. He is indeed. <3 <3 <3
All hail the Armorflame! Kneel before the MAB God! I love it. The only thing I don't care for is the four neck monster. A double neck (with both necks in the same direction) is a cool thing, but four necks in an X shape? Only MAB could conceive something so radical. And play it to boot. Ok, gotta go, got to keep practicing those scales! Let's see...1-4, 1-3, 1-3, 1-3 .....
This guy is so Underrated. He should be way more famous than he is. He makes better music than most of today's artists, yet he's so less popular, wtf.
that tapping at 2:52 OMG! :O i have to say that it is one of the most amazing tap pattern i have ever heard in my life, honestly! and this song, so unlike other songs, but still so MAB godlike!
I saw MAB perform live in Brisbane (Australia) over the weekend, and the accuracy of his playing, and the picking finesse he makes look so easy, just does my head in... sigh....
This is from Michael Angelo Batio's guitar instructional video Speed Kills 2010. Speed Kills is available on DVD and on demand digital download. For more info click on the link in the description (above).
My dad hates rock/metal, but when he saw MAB playing his double neck fretting with both hands, he was very impressed with his skills. And he's not easily impressed.
@reg59 just because MAB is 10 times more technical than the guys from the "old times" doesn't mean you can qualify this as a "show-off" or "soulless". There are people that love to hear full speed musical shreds - like me - and that need is not satisfied by "old times artists".
Whether you like it or not, MAB has its merits over old school guitar players, and more important, he has his own unique style.
@psychodelicdragon the original quad guitar was stolen long time ago, MAB said he will never play it again until they return it. Only 2 of the 4 pieces where returned (as far as I know). Time passed and about a year ago Dean Guitars made a new Quad, which is the one u see here. I don't think it is on retail, but probably they will make a custom one for you if you have the money to pay for it.
Well the guy isn't even human...He's a formidable "cybernetic organism", robotic assassin and soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Skynet for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of exterminating the human resistance. It can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. I will still give a thumbs up, because the programmer gave him a guitar instead of a gun!
Wow, Dmarks1 and michael angelo batio your the best !!!! Great filming and michael of course absolutly faithful and perfect , I hope you come back one day to switzerland !! you were so great !!!
U see that path he's on? It was not there before his arrival. That is the path to shred, cut by a MAB 1.
