Michael Angelo Batio's Need for Speed

[SasaYamaoka]

what guitar is he using?

[AnnihilatingAngel]

Seems to be a very nice fellow.

[1982AntonioC]

Michael is a nice, guys......

[MsDavo123]

I was thinking he is very egoistic person...but after this video I think he is really nice person!

[LOMAZ5150]

whats michaels amp settings that he usally have??

[JohnNortonMusic]

this guy is soooo right.... not often u come across a down to earth metal guitarist

[FelixTheFallenAngel]

1:28 so true!

[gbluesrocker]

Did you know Randy Rhoads back in the day Doug?

[darkprinze329]

Michael Angelo make me wanna sell all three of my guitars -_-

[aaronbergAPB]

You are right on Michael. I really enjoyed this vid'.

[BaZoOKeT]

MASTER!!!!!

[TheLaMoFo]

this guy was born to play fast

[Travis646]

Ok, he started playing when he was 9 and his guitar teacher told him that he cant teach him any longer when he hit 13. thats only 4 years. this man is really born talented.

[ZelgadissGreywords]

I imagine MAB doing his homework. Ultra-fast. Using four pens.

[themanishkumar123]

very good video of past life of mab!!

[redshaftedflicker]

Down to earth besides being a phenomenal player.  Great stuff.

[dany3241291]

I'm a bass player but i really want that guitar.

[aik7744]

[kennedy3212124]

your the best......oh my GOD.... some day iwill play like that&&

[cgabler91191]

Very cool video! Thanks for the post! I can learn from this.

[roblox808]

this vid is made on my b-day :)

[guillotinedeath]

so this is the legendary dmarks channel huh?

also which are some GREAT guitar videos?

[kswilson89]

Cool, cool guy

[WillRock07]

I'm so glad that there is a guitarist out there saying that doing those fucking "exercises" are boring, because you know what? They are, i've always thought so, and much prefer learning songs :)

[25jonathan]

omfg, there are just some people with an insane natural ability. then there are others, like myself, who have to practice like a MF'ing pig to reach just a little speed ^^

[dodakochanie]

what the hell? did MAB make his homework?!

[Fluffypopcicle]

i love this guy. he is telling it how it is. shred isn't emotionless, and it isn't completely for showing off. it's fun and a great way of expressing freedom. plus, he reminds me of me and how i can't sit down and do excersises for an hour, but i love to figure out songs i hear and i can do it just like that at this point.

[newjerseyfan101]

i need more of this guy

[kaleniX]

Thanks for uploading. He seems like a nice, normal guy. I like seeing that. Some other players tend not to be. Malmsteen for example.

[MrYngwie88]

haha what are you doing man hah love it

[instrumentenfreak]

Thank you very much for this video!

[santeclexmark]

well Doug, thanks the same way, and keep up the good job!

I admire you for your work, dedication and competence, thanks a lot.

[gipper2112]

what is that thing sitting at the first fret ?

[dmarks1]

@gipper2112 That's a string dampener invented and patented by MAB. He uses it to mute open strings when he's doing two hand tapping.

[gipper2112]

@dmarks1 Is there a way to disengage it should he want to plays chords or open strings ?

[Gyperboloid]

@dmarks1 Haha, that's the top question on your vids xD

[MrFGunadi]

@dmarks1 i thought it was capo

[robertbombino999]

@gipper2112 dont know if its the right spelling but its a capo

[rouschno1]

I met this dude in Rhode Island in the early to mid nineties, and he was one of the nicest people I have met. He can play about anything and play it good. Super nice guy.

[VLombardi01]

Interesting stuff! Hes the man.

[GuitarsOfArp]

I´m just the same, I long for a positive reaction from others all the time

[Nebelorz]

thanks! and the rest, is history

[DanimalIndustries]

Great video, thanks for posting!

[Ianfanning1]

I love it when he does the voices! MAB... entertaining as always!

[petepachio]

I studied w Michael back in In the day Privately..he is best of the best!

[Lucenablues]

KILLER GUITAR!!

LONG LIFE MY FRIEND!!

[weldfish]

Cool interview, really gave me something to think about. Thanks for posting it Doug.

[johntguitar]

Thanks Doug & Michael! I love hearing the stories behind successful peoples motivation and inspiration. Great interview.

[psychodelicdragon]

very informative, cool info, and love the guitar!!

who do ypu play with?

i'm new to most of your style, mostly old style rock and roll but learning the new forms of playing!

[dmarks1]

@psychodelicdragon I'll give you an introduction to Michael Angelo Batio. Search YouTube for this phrase: Speed Kills No Boundaries

Let me know what you think.

[nwcavertingoureyes]

@dmarks1 When you two get together do you make time to jam alittle together?

[dmarks1]

@nwcavertingoureyes No, it's all about getting the DVD done. And that's not a bad thing.

[santeclexmark]

I want more interviews of him!

[AndySan]

@santeclexmark - YES!!!

[dmarks1]

@santeclexmark I've discussed with Michael doing an in depth interview. We never seem to find the time. I actually have several questions that I've put together over the past couple of years. Every time we get together there's something pressing and we never get around to the interview. This is about as close as we've ever gotten. Maybe with you're encouragement we'll get this done. Thanks.

[horacrux]

@dmarks1 it would be nice to see a real in depth interview on him.i have seen numerous times,since the 80s.

[YouSweatyDieHard]

@dmarks1 your encouragement*

[GibsonTick]

Thanks doug and Michael for all your hard work! You guys are awsome!

[defnist47]

I wish I could do what he did, love what he has to say

[codyrox8]

[dmarks1]

@codyrox8 That's MAB's signature guitar manufactured by Dean.

[codyrox8]
