Al DiMeola 01 (Experience PRS 2007)

[axeshred]

I wish there was tab for this.

[PerfectCell34]

Oh? He still wears that old vest?

[jwandhistools]

This is just Al waking up and practicing before his morning coffee. See him in concert and you will fall over in your chair, and live in awe of his playing for the rest of your life. Trust me on this.

[nickc387]

hes completely improvising you miserable idiots! either watch the video or nottt, what is all of your problem? you act like youre being forced to watch this. its youtube you bunch of pussys. you control what comes on your own computer. i dont type in "n*sync" obv cuz i dont wanna watch it. sheesh. losers. AL's the man!

[RoC1909]

FTW!!!

[TheJt88]

@nickc387 the piece that he uses in this improviation is called milonga del angel by Astor Piazzolla

[patches91]

this clip is kind of him improvising to stuff in his head. if we all had his brain sensors hooked up this would sound a lot better. anyways he is probably one of the most exciting guitarists rhythmically, however melodically he leaves me wanting from this clip

[nostalgiacreep]

i never understand when people say negative things about als sense of melody - all you get from most other guitarists is pentatonic blues shit, so al is a welcome break from that crap!

who doesn't leave you wanting melodically then?

[zosoj14]

Yea I know, just because you've won many of the most prestigious awards there are for the guitar means you obviously suck, right?

[Sp1zZa]

I wouldn't be dissapointed if this guy just died. He really is fucking shit. JFK could play better and he's dead. GET CANCER.

[ryannotsheckler]

maybe you should listen to what you like and not jazz/ latin fusion, because that is what he plays.

[SBarnez]

Al DiMeola has aids

[RoC1909]

He got it from your mother. Next time Al is in town, make sure to stop in and tell dad hi!! Fucking Penis!! lol

[janderson2000]

Yes, Al has many assistants and helpers when on tour.

[SBarnez]

Unfortunately i think you are a year late with that joke.

[Sp1zZa]

OMG THIS GUY SUCKS!

You want to see REAL guitar playing from a proper band check out Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.

Not this silly old man on his silly shaped guitar.

[kgaede67]

sp1zza should be called spazzzz! Al DiMeola is one THE priemer players on planet PERIOD! Stick to listening to saliva you moron!

[SBarnez]

Well ur a fuckin cunt for starters

[kgaede67]

please educate us all with your guitar knowlege Barney... enlighten us all please... what clip should we listen to that best discribes you as a player... what is good in you mind... the world is dieing to know...

[SBarnez]

Im not gonna sugar coat this for you - you are a massive cunt. Good Day!

[kgaede67]

It is apparent that you use a word like cunt so often because you are in dire need of some; perhaps your mother could help you with that. I know this to be true because that's what she told me last night although it was hard to understand her with her mouth full. Good Day!

[SBarnez]

Amateur psychology mixed with jokes about my mother and incinuating that you slept with my mother... i think i was right, just another run of the mill cunt. You have about as creative a mind as the choad in this video.

[kgaede67]

Barney, check out Race with a Devil on Spanish Highway. The live version is the best. It's not Saliva but it's good. Hope you enjoy it.

Best regards,

Cunt

[themusicdr]

such sheer pig ignorance is astounding. lets forget the music (sbarnez can like or dislike whatever he pleases) but such a total lack of manners, inability to coherently articulate a tangible argument no grasp of the english lang (other than 4 letter obscenities)i mean its not surprising he doesnt know good music either al di meola is p'haps one of the best proponents of his art, although this clip is a bit random

[VSNROCKS]

I just do not get why he switched to the PRS. He is great but sounded best on the LP's with the Marshalls.

[hereruvit]

So you claim that Al is bad? Actually I think you were looking with "a bad thought in mind" when you selected this video. I could probably find 100 videos that proved the opposite...

[SBarnez]

All i ask for is 1, i have looked at a number, and i can't seem to get hold of a clip where he doesn't just play notes at complete random.

[thepatient03]

The Egyptian Danza video where he's playing acoustic  with a symphony.

[SBarnez]

But i have to say that my favorite part of his demonstration is definately the structure of it.

Its all so well blended, its almost like a song of its own.

[SBarnez]

Wow... i came onto this video after someone suggesting that Al DiMeola is one of the greatest guitarists ever to live. lol.

Boy is my face red... i thought they were being serious.

Al DiMeola & Carlos Santana are both utter shite. I MEAN REALLY POOR.

[flanguy71]

Yeah,and I'm SURE you play circles around both of them...

[SBarnez]

Did i say that....?

NO I DONT THINK I DID, DID I?

10/10 for doing a funny though!

Anyway, ill let you get back to wanking off over this guy.

What he is playing on this video is quite reminiscent of the result you would get if you handed a 10 year old a guitar for the first time.

Basically just move his hand up and down the neck playing notes at random.

Absolute Guitar Legend!

[zivting]

So what guitarists are you into?

[SBarnez]

Loaded question, but:

SRV, Clapton, Satriani, Eric Johnson, Petrucci, Steve Vai, David Gilmore, Paul Gilbert, Van Halen, Jeff Healy, Joe Pass.

To name a few.

Go on, take a swing. I'm sure you will.

I'm guessing probably at the faster players.

[gxcoimb]

just ask all those shredders who are their influences. lol

[gxcoimb]

that was for you, sbarnez

[ryanefl]

what are you talking about. some of the best electric guitar has come from PRS guitars...(i.e. Al and Carlos Santana)

[SBarnez]

Lol!

[usrpr]

Kay, heres the NEWS! P R S HAS SHIT FOR TONE! ALL OF THEM!!!

When you plug a lump of shit into any amp what tone do you get? S H I T

And they are not "pretty" either. They have raped the guitar industry and made everyone lust after "10" top wood (whatever the hall that is)and dipped all there machine made offerings in plastic. WHERE IS THE WOOD?

The neck joints are all weak, not enough body cavity, as bad as SG's and the shitty block stops upper fret playing quite effectivly.

Dey SHIT !

[flanguy71]

Hi!...just wanted to let you know you're a fucking moron.

Have a nice day!

[Klobotron]

The same licks for the last 25 years, nice guitar, shitty sound.

[ColinPRS]

doomer79 don't ever give up, we can all bring joy, music is so good for the soul.

[spooki123]

How do you determine how good the tone is from this recording? I would not be able to do so.

[ColinPRS]

The tone is??? A shame because he's a great player with a great guitar, maybe a naff amp.

[mlizasuain]

Que músico !!! también lo escucho desde hace años y los años no pasan para él !!! Viva Al Dimeola y saludos desde Uruguay !!!

[VSNROCKS]

Als tone was so nice on the LP with the Marshall. Nope the PRS just isn't doing it.

[tednugentlives]

What a master Al is. Been listening to his stuff since 1988.

[doomer79]

Been listening to Al since the mid seventies here. When I first heard "Elegant Gypsies" I almost quit playing guitar.. :)
