Hard Rock Guitar Ballad - Tapping Solo Included :-)

[spek111]

man, you have awesome skills.. Can´t believe my eyes :) keep on rockin´!! :)

[Wassicles]

Mike,do you ever use 'Drop D' tuning?

I ask because I'm told I 'cheat'.

I use 'Drop D' due to having less fingers than ...err..you,for instance.

I'm happy,the band's happy,the audiences are happy...but other musicians tell me I'm 'cheating'.

Your thoughts?

[roxadri999]

[GwAr170]

perfect exactly wat i was looking for...typed in amazing guitar ballad n got this good job man

[andrewyiking]

how do you do that high pitched sound in 22 seconds?

[dependantlividity]

@andrewyiking Kinda let the string hit your thumb as it comes off of the pick, try a lot different positions and you'll get different sounds. Takes a while to get it right but once you do you can't not get it. Also try holding a note and tapping on top of the fret an octave up.

[oehaha]

reageert die man ook in het nederlands?

[Horbrus]

Noel Edmonds!

[frisken86]

Subscribed for life <3

[patstart62]

too bad the market does not want this sound .

u would be rich. awesome

[OverTheClimax]

This is amazing. I bet many others have asked this: Got tabs?

[hawkeyedmihawk]

MY GOD, your solos rock so hard. I know it's not much, but you have my admiration.

[Northernmight]

This is really nice man, you're probably a better player than me it seems, i'm getting there tho', i still feel like pointing out that you should work on finger-vibrato and not just rely on your tremolo, it is just good to be able to do, other than that. Awesome ballad! I love your playing. Very enjoyable i envy you for your speed skills, an area i yet lack. More of a bluesdog. Please make more videos!!!

[265008888]

tabs?

[Ibik]

we have the same strap! shame not the same guitar lol. awesome cover by the way!

[MohammadBinKamran]

DuDE i have been looking for your video all over i cant tell u enough how much u rock!!! man i get chills listening to you!!! awesome!!!

[publicservant2009]

hi mike, i think ur playing and ur music is great! i think u should also be playing arenas with or without joe satriani!!! :P ( i love joe) but there is so much talent out there and obviously so many people who just love instrumental guitar music! i am a player also, but i too enjoy listening to other people play!! so if u dont already have ur own band and are touring

[Guitarman777]

Sounds Great man, are u Using the Axe Fx on this, do you play drums to

[Soulflame103]

Now this is music.

Keep It Heavy

[griow]

[cleme88]

[SuperZweihander]

That it's awsome

[stratman7000]

one of the best on youtube. Mike.. Do you happen to play in a band?

[Clammysosa]

that was actually the best youtube guitar video ive ever seen. Not expecting this at all, satriani in the flesh man. You definitely should be recording this for the world to hear, your stuff really is something special.

[DjTsakalos]

damn man! Caparison and ENGL? o.O fuckin lucky dude. And gr8 playing :)

[eumatovocemuito]

[Jeahbuddy]

hi, ich weis, das rückt man nicht gerne raus sowas, aber ich bin selber begeisterter solo gitarrist und auf der suche nach guten chordprogressions :) Könntest du mir wenigstens die akkordabfolge fürs intro beichten ?

verdammt guter soloaufbau. gefällt mir richtig gut.

5* und Grüße :)

[mikeposs]

Hallo, die Backing gibt es als Download auf meine Webseite. Du kannst einfach mitspielen. Die Akkorde muss ich anschauen, ich kann das nicht auswendig sagen :-)

[burritojack]

Wow! that was great! The tapping was the least interesting part though! lol. but 5 stars still.

[flyingvrod999]

[LordJesus15]

Dude..

[oggerocker]

[aintgotnosoul48]

[guitarengel]

Great! I love all your songs. Where can I find them?

[908709]

What was that Blue thing reflecting in your Guitar? Any way it made your guitar very beautiful and attractive.

[ElectricMan5]

its a computer :-D

[mikeposs]

Correct. It is a computer screen. The guitar has a dark bue finish which is not very well noticable on the video so the light reflects in blue.

[ElectricMan5]

cool. btw, your tele vids inspired me with my tele :-)

[speedRickspeed]

Great job! What are the main-chords?

[mikeposs]

I think it is A major - fis minor - b minor - E major, but I am not sure :-)

[reiknot]

sagaizzz

[warne12345]

very nice playing! Im also a guitarist and I can see you have a lot of feeling, which i adore! But there is one thing bothering me.. I think you have way to much distortion, try lowering it a bit, and I think it will sound even greater.. I know distortion is a very big help when tapping, but i think you will be able to tap even if you take a step down on the dist. :) Keep up the good work, i will be watching ya ;P

[mikeposs]

Thanks very much for visiting people !

[yoyoyofool543]

[guitarablues]

Hi Man you are the best Guitarist I've ever watched so Far here in youtube Your playing is just simply amazing I don't really like the sound of shredding but when you shred it changed my mind very melodic shredding. I like your natural style and you seem you are enjoying the guitar very well. you are my second most favourite next to Satriani.
