Let me say this...if there is one guitarist in the world that sold his soul to play it this guy... He is flawless and unmatched with live execution....Beautifully played Michael.
He's no doubt badass, but should use some restraint on the sweeps. He does the same sweep like 5 or 6 times in a row which takes away from the impact. Of course I'm just being nit pickey here, and I've never heard the original to compare it to. Overall it's a epic song
Great to see Michael playing a JEM. they're WONDERFUL guitars and sound like nothing else out there. I personally have the blue sparkle 7VSBL. It's gorgeous:) and I'll have it till I die, no doubt about it.
I don`t speak english.... in spanish... soy de Leòn en Mexico, y tuve la fortuna de verlo en vivo y suena genial... solo le faltaba una Jem Ibañez... Woooow
Yeah, this was cool to me because it wasn't just some studio thing from one of the instructional vids, but an actual live performance. I dunno if it's the guitar or whatever, but this is one of the best performances I've heard from Mike.
His picking is too good, especially near the end. Frightening precision.
he should switch to ibanez
