Man...just when you think Satch has hit the pinnacle of guitar genius, he rolls out something like this to completely fry your brain cells and scorch the paint off the walls.
I'm beginning to seriously wonder if he is really human or actually part machine....
Inoticed that some of the phrasing changes sound a little like two totaly different songs. I wonder if one (the intro phrase) is the light side of the planet, and the other (0:43) is the dark side of the planet.
This song is like donkeypunching a giraffe; you think you know high, but then this sweeps in and just, redefines everything. sure a lot of musicians can shred the high frets, but Satch does it and makes it sound so clean and pure, rather than notepuke :D
@HadBrunt99 Ive been playing crystal planet riff for a LONG time...I have a whole library of his riffs and songs in my head...he inspires me so much in my playing...and most likely always will,no one can match him.
@HadBrunt99 It's actually amazingly simple. It's just holding your finger on one string and fingering it back and forth. Look up the tabs, very easy to play
this song make me want to play some mega man 2
