Michael Angelo Batio - Prog - Metal Method Guitar Lesson

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

YOU'RE NOT NORMAL!!!

[SuperGoose65]

i've noticed that he's too good. he's played for so long and he's play solos so many times, he plays em with no problem. the faces are just for show.

[lauratwo16]

The other night I was jam'n with MAB and hang'n tight with him til it was my turn to solo...I nailed it pretty good and played out from a Chuck Berry "duck walk" into a ferocious Pete Townsend "windmill" power chord...I leaned way back as I bent my strings to high heaven...hit my head...on the headboard...and woke myself up to realize it was all just a dream,,,

[norshkin]

what happend to my face. o ya its meltd off and on the flor

[LordXathras]

Simply. Too. Awesome. Period.

[TheCaptainCrack]

He could outplay you without using a guitar!

[aall23]

Just awesome, saw him live down here in the Rio Grande Valley.

[aall23]

Just awesome, saw him yesterday live!

[r3n70n]

@#

metalhead6777777  yes he does hv deep knowledge of theory

[jani14jani]

@KillerKaor Or they are jelouys to MAB becouse, that they know that they can never even reach half of his Level.

[bebeard17]

It would be very interesting to see him jam with Paco de Lucia

Like, seriously

[Jonsk12394]

@puelladeluxe - Agree, i just get more motivated by guitar players like Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, MAB etc... They just make you realize what is possible to do with a guitar if you practise enough

[lastdaysguitar]

Wow, Michael Schenker times 10.

[KillerKaor]

5:30 hes not even on the frets!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MetallSonata]

@KillerKaor Yeah you actually can play the pickup, try it

[Davefld321]

If I had super powers it would be those

[Dudeprelude69]

0:22 - epic))

[mykemztr]

It's not only show off, he plays fucking good xD

[daveyweav91]

I wish I could play as well as him just for the fact that it seems like he has so much fun playing guitar

[metalhead6777777]

this is an amazing guitarist. He has soul,speed,theory(I think),feeling, and enjoyment to his music. Most modern musicians either have one or the other.

[DeanPhilips]

This kind of video makes me want to get better.

[Ruvinio]

4:15 his left hand is a fucking blur o_O

[AnimalPlanet000]

notice how he only moves each finger about 1mm for each note ? that is technique

[64offsuiter]

I'm currently bowing down, worshipping a god on a screen with speakers that doesn't do this video justice!

[necrosx9]

one of the few guitar metal gods left on this of earth..this was beyond epic!!!!

[cjalmighty]

Malmsteen can bow to MAB

[Billllk]

please come and play in Greece

[blackstormer95]

i USED to "play" guitar before this vid

[SpankIEkzs]

Bravo !!

MASTER ^^^

[antichrist07comrad]

THE GUITAR ITS HAVING AN ORGASM!!

[ItchyGoomie]

Who's the man?? Michael Angelo is the man!

[deniro2Thefirstone]

It is totally unbelievable... Awsome.

[bigpeteswackshack]

that guitars likes "fuck dude put me down! im gonna catch on fire!"

[uluvkok]

i pissed my self at the flipy part

[DavixeTheBoss]

^^ Simply, The Best ^^

[uluvkok]

HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIAAAAT I SHIT MY SELF AT 4:20

[bassist4lif31]

how.....HOW?! HOW THE FUCK?!

[0Kinshi0]

With a guitarist like that, a band doesn't even need a damn vocalist

[superdanlewis]

5:34 his body language says, "top THAT bitches!"

[itsvoogle]

I bow down to this man....btw..ive meet him two times,,and hes the humblest nicest dude you will ever talk too...

[kissman120]

such good guitar players motivate me to train more and more :D

[hollowsraaa]

for some reason this makes me want to play my guitar even though im terrible at it...

[jmr1068204]

Why does 2:40 sound so familiar to me?

[delchavez]

Does he write all this stuff out on paper and then memorize it or does he just have a huge brain that can store millions of sequences, with millions of notes per sequence without transcribing it?

[WoompaFilms]

i waited for almost 6 minutes for him to play a bad note.

[guitarheroant]

best solo ever :D

[awesomestdude123]

after the recording was done, he released his hold on his pick and looked down to see blood spewing from it.

[mecomotugato]

4:36 WTF, he is a monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lexandro22]

@mecomotugato yeah you bet. I have seen him live... his hands are faster than the eye. Very charismatic and nice person btw.

[protectoroffaith]

this man is not of the earth he is from another world a world where you are born to play with four guitars and make the guitar sing he is from planet MAB( bahahahaha michel make that guitar cry for mercy :P)

[cory2cory2]

The mans got 12 fingers, what feel!

[HolyReprisal]

He has no flaws in his playing whatsoever! O_O

[shadowwolf337]

AWESOME!! I like that jungle style that starts at 1:19!

[luismaidenforever]

Michael Angelo Batio is the real guitar hero

[RobZiak]

just watching this will make u play faster

[raisencrantz]

The best of the best walking among in the planet leaving flaming footsteps behind. He rock the metal world. He the best and real guitar hero!

[HendrixSRVClapton]

4:12 to 4:50 WTF??? How!? This was one of the most insane playings I have ever watched in my life. I can't stop watching now.

[InAGaddaDaVida29]

That guitar is really shiny, It looks cool. Batio's one of the greatest guitarists out there. I don't care what anyone says. He doesn't do mindless shredding. Although, his solos from the Nitro album "O.F.R."were kind of like that.

[abmandedevil]

MAB rulez!!!!! He's da best!!!! He can create some crazy riffs!!!! he's freakin unbelievable!!!!!! Crap, he's da fastest!!!! Trey n Mick r in no way close 2 him!!!!!

[acdcdude1000]

@dmarks1

Thanks for trying to monitor the bad comments through the good. And thanks even more for posting. I can almost play this thanks to this video.

[1xMetalHeadx1]

All the people who say ur fake are ignorant and obiously have no idea about true guitar players. Take their ignorace as a complement and keep rockin!!!

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

God. I might sneak into his house and steal some of his blood.

[Matistratocaster]

That dean guitar is just beautiful.

[ALDabbagh1988]

I respect other people opnions.

but along the solo guitarists, I beleave MAB is the best. speed+Magical rythem

MAB . . . lml . . . .ROCKS

[jani14jani]

If you someday wana be even half as good as him, you need to dedicate your life for guitar playing.

[percyal1]

THE MASTER lml

[MS7911]

awesome

[SgtSlickSleeve]

Mr. Michael Angelo Batio, Sir, YOU KICK SOME SIX STRING SLINGIN ASS !!!

[rudoman22]

Has any one ever dreamed of being immortal? and playing all the guitars in the world, also becoming this great? Cause I sure have :DDDD

[deathell91]

Call to the area 51, he is an extraterrestrial being. Batio is the god of the guitar.

[wangzingee]

This should be the next speed lives lesson. Do you know if he will teach this song? Prog and no Boundaries are my favorite.

[Judaddy1]

When he goes into his hand part at 4:36 my computer froze because his hands were going too fast

[metalhead4lifeyeah]

This type of playing makes you wanna pick up your guitar and start shredding!

[renzzo666]

[skadogg22]

He's one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He's humble and is all about practicing!

[metalbloodshed]

Not stuck up at all, he was one sweet dude when he visited one of my local stores. I was short 2 bucks for a cd and he let me have it anyways haha.

[mr252307]

dude, he's like the nicest guy you'll ever meet.. He doesn't even act like he's this good.... No Ego at all

[keyser66guitarist]

Nah man he's totally a cool dude in person - not stuck up at all. I met him when he did a demonstration with his newest guitar the Armorflame in a Guitar Center.

[Toddstikels]

@keyser66guitarist Dude yu should have shook his hand!!!!, Get some of his power

[erwinvasquez]

[LovacNaBudale]

This kind of guys motivate you to put your guitar on ebay...

[HstfSengir]

This kind of guys motivate to pick up your guitar and stary practicing. Damn, if I could ever be even a half as awesome as MAB...

[MetallicA4658]

YOU can! w/ his instructional dvd...

[transamlover50259]

No... people like Kirk Hammett and Randy Rhodes make you pick up the guitar, people like Michael make you cry and put it back down.

[malex184]

[bohoh123]

[ChunterG]

[SRbluecollarman]

[playriff]

[zibadide]

[beelzebub686]

why everyone say that he's a robot?

i think he's very expressive to play...

and what do you want, a fucking prima ballerina?

[baalHunter]

ugh his sweeps are so clean fuck this ima go practise

[butane1245]

Holy shit this makes my kidney tingle

[Tank716]

...first time i've seen him without a floyd, it's weird lol, but he's a beast, perfect mix of soul and shred

[JacksonWarrior3]

the ultimate cross of speed and feel

[kirk45hammett]

wow, facial expression much?

[karasu0]

WTF?! This guy is AMAZING!!!!

[bwarrant]

MAB makes everything look so simple, yet its damn complex and difficult.

[pablo5550123]

not only is he an intense guitarist, he's also a really great guy, unlike others who have amazing technique but couldnt care less for anyone who's not as good as them(malmsteen)

[ng12]

masterpiece!!!

[Kaljanass]

damn awesome

[DarkWarrior450]

Most important things to remember to get this good... PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! Build up muscle memory and speed then comes naturally :)

[LovacNaBudale]

Does anybody know where I can find Batio's new album HWS2?

[jonathanfater]

For me mab is like a living legend! I've seen many good guitar players but for me he stands out above all the rest.

[allovabrap]

same i think this guys amazing

[clappingfish]

to see michael angelo, paul gilbert, jeff loomis, and rusty cooley have like a gitar battle would probably be the most historical event in history

[nintendomanofgod]

Has he ever missed a single note ever!?!?!?!?!?!

[nintendomanofgod]

Has he ever missed a note in his life?!?!?!/!?

[verbalassalt08]

DAMN !!!!!!!!!!1 he is sooo klean with them sweepzzzzz

[edgarrg94]

Holy shit MAB is the only guitar player that i see make a bend with his pinky

[matmcghee]

love how he used tempo changes great dynamics very very fluid and fast yet keeps the feel to it without sounding robotic a true shred master

[fjferd]

Ok, I understand why they call him a guitar god now.

[dagoelius]

such an interesting picking technique.

[stefanovallefuoco]

it's very cool!!!

[MetalRedemption]

I wonder why Batio 'shakes' his hand sometimes while playing, his hand goes rapidly fast around the whole neck

[Vexer333]

he shakes his hand to make the notes vibrate

[amanda1996andcam1999]

i dunno,i just saw him in concert and he did it then too. i was right nxt to the stage, hes amazing

[mabisisck]

the master at work!

[Th3yCaLLM3M0nK3y]

i love his facial expressions.

[ChRoNiCFaMaS]

Thats a Dean ML Trans Brazilia Burst. He plays out of the Neck Pickup which im guessing is a Seymour Duncan Zebra or maybe Dean's own Zebra pickup. For the fast parts he uses the neck pickup because it picks up the mids alot better and for the bridge and tapping parts he uses the bridge pickup

[kallahan11]

He uses both pickups, He switches between neck and bridge multiple times in this video.

[mabisisck]

or dont they make a seymore duncan high gain pick up like that?

[RyanJamesCarleton]

whats the guitar called?

[BLSDIME1]

the guitar is a dean ML custom

[alvinhogoalkeeper]

Dean ML

[josher22222]

that dude can probably throw a 30-40 mile per hour punch.....

[mabisisck]

hell yea hes fucking god!!

[atla18]

i love the sense of progression to this, even the theme "chorus" section builds upon itself

[bucketheadTOOKmyWEED]

what pickup is he using using when he shreds???

[RisingMoonDragon]

Why is that guitar so amazing? Why is MAB such a god at guitar?

Just one shake of his hand, and you're automatically better!!!

[MrAngel999]

speachless...
