[FREEALIST]

[diegolase1]

Silvio sos una bestia!! Un orgullo que seas argentino!!

[19spectre91]

nice solo.....

[christophersonawane]

Hey @papuza can u tell me at what age did u start playing the guitar ? btw it was awesome !

[TheAlteredTuning]

hey man this ones called summer nights. Where did the name come from? Just kinda curious if it was written on a summer night or because you like something about summer nights or something like that.

[CuttemJack]

When the hell is the album coming out? Let's get on it!!! This stuff is just fantastic!!

[papuza]

@CuttemJack thanks man, but no album for now... it will be done when I have money and enough time... cheers!

[CuttemJack]

@papuza Well make the time and borrow the money!!:-) I'll kick down $20 and you just send me 60 minutes of music!!

[xumexcar]

@papuza I hope it will be soon.

[ledzeppsam]

Best original composition on youtube.

[papuza]

@ledzeppsam  haha, thanks man!

[TheAlteredTuning]

I LOVE the run at 1:01 man, and then all the emotion in the chorus, I can feel it. You are a great player. Please tell me you'll make an album.

[papuza]

@TheAlteredTuning Thanks man, yeah i will let you all know when I have my album!!!

[Passamani73]

Papito "Destruindo tudo" como dizemos no Brasil!!!!

Saludos de hermano de Guitar Experience!!!!

[gimme789]

I think the effect is a "touch wah".  Man, awesome playing !!!

[ledzeppsam]

Very melodic

[MrElotro10]

Qué buen violero, che.

Saludos

[papuza]

thanks all for the great comments, cheers from argentina, Silvio G.

[rezephyr492]

Can someone tell which effect is used at 2:52?

[papuza]

@rezephyr492 hey, it´s an autowahwah...

[rezephyr492]

@papuza Thank you for your answer :D

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

okay, I get it now, he got bit by a spider. ;)

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

This makes t*ts on a bull make sense! Well, far be it to say, not fluid, not a fantastic player but find one 'better'.(sarcastic priors) I am in awe. Thought could write and play lately, dang.

[nickrock999]

is this fake?

[Voidrix00]

@nickrock999 no

[Darfaultner]

Nice song, not just shred.

[acoliferamente]

capo  te invito a q veas mi entry para guitar idol 2010 guitaridol.tv/video/57# soy de parana entrerios

[MegaFireManiac]

Love this song! And great player

[CjsPanchito1]

Che que buen estilo, que buen sonido! Que viola, ampli y pedal de distor usas? Exitos muy groso de verdad!

[papuza]

@CjsPanchito1 gracias che, la viola es una Fender custom spalted maple HH, y para rabar ese video usé un pod xt live. Entrá a mi canal y mira la otra version de este tema que suena bastante mejor. Saludos!

[DevonStedronsky]

[MtotheN1]

@DevonStedronsky Right beside email facebook twitter There is a thing that says Save to v... Click that =D

[Lydewane]

[grybok1ng]

[firestone003]

[SuperGuitarchannel]

woah

[madinina00]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[XxXxpaulxXxX91]

i think you're a busy man but did you have tabs and the backing track of this song for me? that would be great! =)

[generallazyass]

i want 2 know how to play this on guitar

[TooMoLeft]

What a wonderful piece! And great playing!

[tudortoomey]

i think i can answer this. I think i remember him saying its because its the kind of music he likes to listen to when driving on a summers night - i may be getting this mixed up with another idol contestant

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

I really like his random harmonizations - throws them in without notice - nice.

[MaTeMeGo]

Excelente ojala que te vaya bien en el Guitar Idol, una pregunta de que musicos o bandas sacas tu estilo? por que me gusta mucho.

[mordred90]

xkè gottardo in finale e tu no??..boh

[atyourlasthourrr]

Wow..you OWN, this is beyond amazing

i love the jazz feel to this and the harmonies are great!

keep up the good playing

[tastefulphrasing]

Hey, are you by chance influenced by John petrucci? Because those chords in the beginning were very Petrucci like ha ha.

[papuza]

thanks, yes.. I could say Petrucci and Dream theater are one of my influences...

[KuatoQuade]

Im impressed how dry your guitar sound is on this vid what kind of specs does your guitar have for its bridge, nut, and tuners? as far as I can tell your intonation is perfect and the guitar didnt go out of tune the whole song let me know if you can

[sinphonyh]

belleza man!!

[patrickhufschmid]

This is incredible, fantastic work man!

[TehSushiChef]

loved the sweeps.. soulful playing!

[TodayAt420]

awesome intro, and playing period

[physicsisntfun]

what kind of guitar is that

[papuza]

thanks, yes, I wrote it and i record all the stuff... cheers.

[Hermand1973]

malmsteen + satriani+ vai = Gazquez!!

[tommie997]

no thats the wrong equation!

Kotzen + Howe + Moore(Vinnie) = Gazquez

[RandomTask42]

LMAO!!! yesss!!

[thegenius92]

you sure like harmonies:)

[Rvillalba2010]

che loco estas hasta las bolas!!! muy groso !!! aver cuando toques por avellaneda o capital avisa abrazo

[papuza]

[crich695]

the tone sounds a little... old maybe more distortion?

[eventide2008]

I like the into as well as the melody

[EduardoAllo]

muy bueno!

[pablostrings]

muy zarpado silvio!!! saludoss

[allsport1313]

your posture resembles a lame frog.

[papuza]

show more respect you idiot!!!

[Guitarvesa]

Well he plays a million times better than you, so shut up. Maybe you have a better posture just so people can kick you in the nuts better.

[allsport1313]

i really didn't mean to make to you cry, sorry. he can play as good as he wants, still looks like a frog in my book.

[rockapartie]

your post resembles a lame grudger.

[jhosery]

any problems with that guitar such as tuning, string breakage, etc.

[papuza]

no, the tunners are not the best but the guitar is great for its price...

[baconstealer1]

[naturaltoby]

I thought Daniel Gottardo should have won last year, but this composition kicks that one in the ass!! Bravo Silvio!!

[myszkowski]

his new music (from Daniel) is so awsome dude, u should take a look at least, its just impressive, sounds like a pro, a real masterpiece. Of course this guy have great musics too, but this year i guess Gottard is gonna take the cake lol

Silvio G.

[robibm2003]

That was excellent! As a guitarist myself, I really liked watching your lefthand technique.

Five starred, favorited, subscribed.

[Jdudeo]

I agree about his left hand, it's pretty fun to watch, I think it's how he keeps his fingers fairly straight you can see what he's doing better.

[prettyboy7xxx]

That was fantastic!...very nice work man! I really enjoy your playing, you have showcased all the techniques in a tasteful manner...a cross between Petrucci and Timmons. Gud luck!

Oh by the way if you have the TABs for it can you please PM it to me. Thanks!

[sophiegromit]

Utterly AMAZING playing and composition Silvio!!! Kudos!!!
