The only ignorant newb that don't know hsit about music history here are you. This guy was Steve Vai's Classmate and best friend. He played with him through the Firegarden world tour, the Frist G3, etc and recroded that album also, this guy's a real virtuoso
Mike is one of the most creative and amazing musician I' ve ever seen... both on guitar, keyboard, piano and bizarre things ! Really the return of the son of the stunt guitarist. Strat abuse yeah ! Odd harmonics go !
When you've played with someone that has even 1/4th the musical intelligence of Frank Zappa and have been recording your own albums since 1992, you can call someone a "noob".
i dont think that this guy has 1/4th the musical intelligence of Frank Zappa .its my opinion.there r better guys to show an amp.oh and if you wanna know i have records of my own since 1990.also check my videos and u ll understand what i mean.thanx anyway
Mike is a fantastic player. I think a few of you really miss the point. This is not Mikes "look how good I am" or show off clip. This is a demonstration of the Rivera amp and Mike plays some stuff he improvises on the spot. He has done some really amazingly technical stuff in his career. Stuff that I have yet to see anyone else try to play...
You understood it fully, but are attempting to be a smart arse because you know you're wrong.... ha ha you do not know what your talking about. he said "HANDFUL OF PEOPLE" he did not say only 5 people dude. o so really mike has "no touch phrasing ability or TECHNIQUE!" REALLY? MIKE KENEALLY DOES NOT HAVE ANY TECHNIQUE? COMING FROM "rivera213" aka "the greatest guitarest ever" I HARDLY BELIEVE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO OF U PLAYING GUITAR BETTER THEN HIM.
What amount does a "handful" equate to then? 100? 1,000? It means a limited amount- generally 5 or so (at least in London).
Yes, Mike has practically no technique to write home about & his phrasing is VERY weak/bland for the genre he tries to play in.
I never said I was the greatest guitarist ever, but regardless of MY ability as a player, that doesn't add to or detract from Mike's ability. If i was the 2nd Holdsworth would my opinion be any more credable than if i was the 2nd Hammett? Nope.
HAHAHA - Mike Keneally doesn't need validation from a bunch of teenage YouTube trolls. He's one of only a handful of people in the world who can play "Moggio" by Frank Zappa. Try to play even the first 90 seconds of that song, then come back and let us all know what you think of Mike Keneally.
Only a handful of people in the world can pay "Moggio"?
How many guitarists have you heard play it? 5? Lol.
I like Zappa, but dude there are literally hundreds of harder tracks to play than that. Espescially since Vai can play it & technically he isn't anywhere near say McLaughlin. (I'd say it was exactly half as good as McLaughlin).
Where are you going with this, exactly? Vai isn't McLaughlin therefore Keneally is bad? Try to make a coherent point here.... Oh, and by all means post a video of yourself playing "Moggio..."
All you folks slagging Keneally obviously have never heard anything from him past this video. He has a dozen albums out and is incredibly talented. This video is a horrible showcase of what he is capable of. This is not what Keneally normally does. He is so much more than dumb metal riffing. He's an incredible composer and improviser. Plus he is no slouch on keyboards either.
The ignorance these posts show is astounding. Listen to sluggo! or Dog then say he can't play....silly metalheads
Mike is a spontaneous and incredibly intuitive guitar player, who doesn't practice stock riffs and licks so this demo is not the best showcase for his skills as a guitarist. He is at his best we he can play of others around him or if he were to play some compositional piece. If you think he can't play then you clearly haven't done your homework on the man. He can play the Black Page for feck sake!!!!

I heard this amp at NAMM, honestly I really
didn't care for the gain at all. I found it
very uneven and buzzy. And as far as some of
the comments about Mike's techic: he was Frank's stunt guitarist, toured with Vai...etc
he may have an orthodox techic, but he is a
fantasic composer, musician, singer and heck
of a nice guy. I find when your out there playing in front of an audience for any given
period of time you tend to be less critical and a bit more appreciative of other peoples work.

Happy Birthday.
I saw Vai, McLaughlin and Keneally play live on several occasions. None of them needed practice.
By the way, why would anyone care about how many notes per second someone can pick? That's just weird.

dude, are we both watching the same video? the guy's sloppy...only hitting about 70% of the notes he attempts correctly.
