Neo Classical Sweep

[XanaduMountain]

I'm not impressed. There are 13 year olds on YouTube who can play this shit. Watch my video where I'm as fast as Yngwie, but USE ONLY MY PINKY AND RING FINGER... AND I don't play in the "box" --- I play down the whole neck... with just pinky and ring finger! It's under "Touching You" and "fastest guitarist ever" or some shit like that. I made the video just to mock all the LAZY SWEEPERS. (If sweeping was hard, there wouldn't be a million sweepers.)

[UnsungRaven]

did anyone notice the rebel guitar in the background?

[xBiloOx]

ca va trankil le sweep no stop a 300 bpm (Oo') impressionnant ... beautiful Gentaro ..

[gtxcpr]

Gentaro rocks!!!

[knaubercarlos]

Are you god ??

[3XJGeorge]

como se llama what is the name of the guitar player?

[fullguitaraddict85]

@3XJGeorge It's Gentaro Satomura

[753nilo]

@3XJGeorge

hes name is gentaro sotomura

[MLPC9]

@3XJGeorge Gentaro Satomura, it's written on the side dude :D

but now i would know the title of the song to search for some tabs \o/

[Raul1Silva]

This is kinda not my style, but I still wanna learn how to "sweep" can anyone tell me the name of some of the scales he's hitting..? Thanks

[TrollRaper69]

Masterpiece begins at 1:15...

[ThePortut]

up and down



[AudioImpression]

It makes most people feel good to brush off his skill by saying "asian." It's hard to face the fact that you're a mediocre player who has no dedication, motivation, or work ethic to work at anything in your life and truly excel at it.

u mad? Yea u mad

[origindirewolf]

who is this

[theguywithguitars]

I can play this! See there's a play button right there! (epic fail)

[Leon91195]

I find it real fucking irritating that over half of the people just point out that he's asian. No shit he's asian! That's not the point of this video. Fucking ignorant ass people.

[rinegan11]

asian :3

[1HGPG]

There must be a custodian around with all these sweeps.

[Focus923]

wonder if he can play Aerosmith's Satisfaction ... 

[brodaLDZ]

@Focus923 interesting....

[MrCk1234567890]

that is an impressive collection of razorbacks...

[MultiThrashmetal]

i like arpegios just most of this doesnt impress me

[cool1pivoter]

sweeping just is so boring when doing a scale over and over and over again BUT really fast and alot of times its the the wrong scale or notes

having feel to the solo is way better then just randomly sweeping

this guy knows how to do stuff even with sweeping imo

[MrSuphyxiated]

gentaro satomura : attack of the aliens

[ananartik]

who is this guy. never seen him before. somebody pls tell me who this guy is.

[AustintheNaterator]

*His Dad* "Practice more! You are not good enough!"

[GuitarraMetalica94]

another to add to my list of idols of the guitar

[DragonKlaus1995]

You know, if "the awesome list" isn't have this video on it, it is fake.

[BloodValeOfficial]

holy sh...oh wait its an asian *-*

[mugi548]

I'm very like this.....*_^

[Nulenlatin]

I wish I could play like him!

[JukkForYou]

And that's, my friends, was just the intro!

[Blitzbok]

I wish guitar players would mix arpeggios up a bit. Unfortunately I cannot think of one guitarist who has used arpeggios to their full potential. From a musical standpoint, they arefar more useful when played slower, but still everyone whores out the shred crud. This is impressive technically, but because of the lack of musicality this player will never break through unfortunately.

[LawrenceGordon92]

@Blitzbok *ahem* Yngwie Malmsteen

[Blitzbok]

@LawrenceGordon92 Barely, and not to their full potential as stated. The comparison between guitarists and the composers they try to immitate is embarrassingly poor.

[LawrenceGordon92]

@Blitzbok There's a difference immitation and homage. Immitation would be malmsteen playing things like adagio and Asylum II: Sky Euphoria all of the time attempting to recreate classical sound. He takes classical style and twists it metallically, that is homage. Classico by Tenacious D was Immitation but that was used ironically for comedic effect (and it worked).

[Horsantti]

He still aint faster than yngwie malmsteen...

[LawrenceGordon92]

@Horsantti They said faster than light was physically impossible. It's not, Faster than malmsteen is physically impossible.

[filipecampos132]

So fast.. So clear... Very good...! #top

[fartbender01]

I woiuld suck his dick if in exchange i absorbed his guitar skills..

YOU KNOW YOU WOULD TOO

[Omagma0]

@fartbender01 Omg, lol.

[Crazytjeuh]

Great technique and vibrato, but it feel like a computer playing :/ Just too perfect!

[Nicsterpro]

@ZaifoTube Go to Hell!

[ZaifoTube]

@Nicsterpro Dude, in the suggested videos section on the right there's a stupid unrelated video, that's what I was talking about not this awesome one. You should understand before bashing people.

[nenemoxo1]

1:16 epic!!!!!

[ZaifoTube]

Why the hell is that disgusting video suggested?! Damn gross urgh



[cesarbarrios89]

his picking uuuf his picking is perfect!

[CardgamesonYoshi]

Dean should give him his own line of Signature guitars so he doesn't have to use Dimes

[Imminentdeception]

Sounds like Castlevania! =D

[arebanez]

whats the name of the song?

[DeboothOxyodious]

kinda sounds like christmas at 2:45

[movesguy]

@DeboothOxyodious

Thats because he uses the same chord progression as Pachabel's Cannon in D.

[guitarfreak23397]

anyone has a tab and backing track for this???

[MeinKomponist]

@guitarfreak23397 look at Ultimate Guitar tabs there are Tabs for Guitar Pro just search for Gentaro - Neo Classical Sweep

[HankHillshred]

@guitarfreak23397 go to songsterr.c o m type in gentaro they have it there

[420cfh1]

skwisgar san

[lucaloveslipknot]

all these japs may be fast and all but i still never heard of a japanese good guitarist or band

[xXAgentIcemanXx]

@lucaloveslipknot

Because you don't live in Japan. On the other point I doubt anybody in Japan have heard of Slipknot.

[Soloscover]

@lucaloveslipknot Katsu Ohta , Syu , Kelly Simonz etc etc.

[dcdeal001]

please once again, sorry! i didn't listen. ;))

[Edis90Vienna]

WOW FUCKING HEAVY :D 

[HankHillshred]

this is my most favorite fucking song ever i could listen to it for eternity!!!!

1:15 to 1:47 is my favorite part!!(and the only part i could figureout how to play lol)

[BlossomAndDreams]

canon rock part xD

[MrRogersGuitar123]

i dont care if this is fake or not, it sounds good and i can play it either way

[ilovethewar1945]

canon rock ?

[aineiss]

Anyone who thinks this video is a fake is either extremely jealous, or has never played guitar.

[SoulSideSeven]

Asian i knew it!

[phariesly]

i really enjoy this.

[conradavila18]

the japanese.,.. there out get us!!!

(speaking as a guitarist)

[adaliross]

That awkward moment when the guitar player picks faster than your internet speed...

[jimmyleppard6]

@adaliross then your internet would probably crash after seeing shawn lane solo

[pigeonpsycho]

@adaliross you're gay

[aamg1992]

@adalirossThat awkward moment when the guitar player is better than you ,and you say ,i suck

[phdplus4s]

The ease with which he plays combined with his sheer technical and musical brilliance, makes this video almost unbelievable.

[OneOfFail]

Not played cleanly... I could easily do this...

[Spliffor]

@OneOfFail ofc you could hahaha but it's all talk untill you have a video playing it perfect and with clean sweeps

[Spliffor]

@OneOfFail And ur covers are fail u cant even cover a solo with simple sweeps playing it clean.. u think ur gonna play this better? HAHAA

[OneOfFail]

@Spliffor OMG LOL YOU LOOKED AT MY VIDS OMFG IM LAUGHING SOOO AHARD RIGHT NAOWWW

[Chigo21]

and someone had the nerve to say that metalcore guitarists were better than this.

[mrmattdebate]

not bad for an azn...

[Mario25audio]

Too much for my brain =)

[cisco2fun1]

were can check more about this guitar player!!??

[cisco2fun1]

yes @2;01 count ...its a wrap..... beautyfull performance tastefull melodic and agresive and rocking ,,, TASTE AND QUALATY PLAYING HERE,,, thumbs up all the way... very nice.

[silentCwalker]

2:27 this guy deserves a speeding ticket.... 

[iplayguitar4life]

Wow. --- the only word to describe the legend which is! Erm... Dno his name...

[fernando3597able]

so far 304 people have accessed the video never picked up a guitar and finds it a breeze

[NickGuitarMalfara13]

i think this guy like Dimebag..

[jony1710]

1: who is this?

2: whats the song at the beginning?

3: umm uhhh wuuhh how?

[orangebiggy]

@jony1710 1.Gentaro Satomura 2.It's one solo called "Neoclassical Sweep" 3.Herp Durr Derp

[jony1710]

@orangebiggy i meant at the very beginning with the title screen.

[MrLuisucho]

@orangebiggy Really the song is called "The attack of the alines" from his album "Light and Shadow"

[005E500]

@jony1710

2 Attack of the aliens

[omgooush]

@0:47 sounds similar to Avenged sevenfolds dual solos :p

[Flaredragonking]

At the very moment that the drums started, my cable went out, TV went dark, and my room went pitch black.. I swore a dragon was going to burst through my wall and I was going to have to fight it. -:D

[WolfusMandrago]

The guy playing is Gentaro Satomura, for the band Storm Rider. Their Myspace page is here: myspace . com / kojikimura

They're not signed with any label, so they could use any support you can give them. Don't let good musicians go to waste!

[TitaniousGrubbs]

Ehhh, good but not my style.

[24242424airgun]

やべぇｗｗめっちゃきれいｗｗ

[theshreddingcisco20]

Sorry momentum20 but this song is way more technical than you're making it sound. Some of these licks are ridiculous, even if you have the dextarity in your fretting hand, chances are your picking technique is wrong. Which im still working at. Props to malmsteen and romeo though...and dimebag!!!

[silentCwalker]

guys, guys we all know that this is impossible, and this video is fake. WRONG can't you see that he's japanese and blond? only one meaning... SUPERSAIYAN

[jony1710]

@silentCwalker you deserve top comment!

[silentCwalker]

@jony1710 rate me up then  :D

[jony1710]

@silentCwalker i did :)

[silentCwalker]

@jony1710 ;D

[iplayguitar4life]

@silentCwalker LOL!!!

[TheGodlikekill]

@silentCwalker fake jajaja jajajajajajja poor guy... dont you gentaro ? or syu ? ajaja :(

[GuitarDeathsoft]

@silentCwalker I'm Sorry But this Vidéo Isn't Fake ,You are Jalouse ,And are you racist ? I can See that he's Japanese and blond

[silentCwalker]

@GuitarDeathsoft LOL it was a joke dude, and how am i racist? loosen up :p

[xDimebladex]

@silentCwalker he is obviously on level 3, look at the long hair...

[silentCwalker]

@xDimebladex for sure ;)

[Linthu92]

Best part is 1:16-1:33 :)

[momentum20]

Tbh this guy isn't even that good, yeah he can sweep, but he's just spamming 3 string arpeggios, which is fine up to a point, but if you want proper neoclassical shit, try listening to malmsteen, or michael romeo, a much better example ^_^

[1zn0g00d]

@momentum20 he does some pretty cool 5 string sweeps in there, and dont forget the sick string skipping :P

[TRANFUCKER]

@momentum20 SHUT UP ASSHOLE!

[visualkeirockstar]

@momentum20 i bet u didn't even watch the whole thing

[guitarpro001]

WHAT IS THIS SONG CALLED?!!

[asdasd98123]

@guitarpro001 attack of the aliens i think

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

A long long time ago I liked this stuff... then discovered the blues.

[rockboyinthehouse]

sexy!!!

[waaluss]

if your\re looking for noeclassical sweeps listen to necrophagist.

[HRNDONE]

the japanese are incredible when it comes to neo classical metal

[jonnyrokr]

@HRNDONE let me generalize that for you:

the asians are increedible when it comes to anything

[HRNDONE]

@jonnyrokr Lol true.

[1SINNED11]

@jonnyrokr

but they look like faggots xD (in this vid)

[donatp93]

@jonnyrokr yep, except driving a car

[origindirewolf]

@jonnyrokr anything but driving lol

[digitalfreak123]

ooh im holding that guitar on the right at 0:09 :D

the bumblebee does its job amazingly

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

Those sweeps at the beginning just don't sound good

[MarrtyMayhem]

He must of shaken hands with chuck norris!

[absurdaproductions]

1:20 sound kind of like beethoven (für elise)

[ZetroidX]

@absurdaproductions Really? Sounds like Cannon, to me. XD

[moviemaker3000]

This is mind blowing...I really wish I could sweep as cleanly as this.

[xsited1]

I bet he's been cut by that razor blade on the 12th fret.

[bboypredator2006]

this is just crazy i cant imagine the warm up he must do for it haha! really reminds me of playing dynasty warriors! :)

[edurubio2000]

very nice I give you my 5***** and I invite you to my SOCCER´S CHANNEL clicking on my NICK :

[woodcoasterdude]

i heard he fingered a girl once, she exploded

[methaaaleuuh]

Putain cest dommage que ce soit une vieille unstru pourri derriere,psk cest super beau squil jou

[oceanm330]

That was pretty damn epic :O Has a touch of canon rock in at places :D i dont suppose theres a tab for this going around is there? Love it =]

[Uchitomi]

@oceanm330

I was thinking the same thing about the touch of Canon Rock. It's mainly the 1:15 - 1:34 segment. Those scales are great for guitar sweeps.

[MajRChandler]

i love how he basically shows off all the guitars in the background

[nstrikefromnerfhaven]

0:58 BEST EVER

[elvisziu]

mui bien

[jcortinas13]

Just a total damn shot in the dark i think he likes dean razorbacks. Thats just me guessing though

[onlysupermetalhead]

well, awesone

[VincentFinn]

his picking is a shit

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@VincentFinn are you saying its THE shit, or if its shit? cuz if you think its bad please elaborate.

[VincentFinn]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos it's not correct? I'm not english I'm sorry, but I think you understood

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@VincentFinn sorry, you said "a shit" so i assumed you mixed articles, but i guess not. and his picking is very efficient, it just might not be standard. when you're at that level, you should have your own style, which others may deem "incorrect"

[VincentFinn]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos yeah you are correct : \ i agree. " you should have your own style"

[woodcoasterdude]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos either way this guy sure as hell can shred

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@woodcoasterdude what the fuck.....

[TheSpartan1024]

he just had to be asian...

[itzkeifa123]

2:05 ! i jizzed

[xbcnfujv]

cool shit but why do lots of neo-classical guitarists dress like faggots?

[WestwoodTheOaf]

1:34 - 1:47 - Synister Gates O.o?!

[xWeaponMx]

u would think he would have his on signature model but i guess not. nice collection of guitars that anyone could have lol

[TheBenCube]

@xWhatsxThexPointx Makes it all clear.

[runningwithdeath]

This guy is good, but it's kind of annoying to see a bunch of Dime guitars in the background, it just seems a little weird for someone that isn't Dime to be displaying so many Dime signature guitars in the background.

[Hintz6]

@runningwithdeath at least playing this style. If he were shredding some heavy metal, rock on.

[MegaMorbie]

nice inlay at the 12fret the marshal is cool as well

[PunkTapper]

Tab?

[luixmedia]

Gentaro Satomura in the guitar.

[theAFDGK]

nice exercises. 

[FrankieDade305]

Dude's Sick , shredding...lol

to the guy below (ConklinTa)

its all about pushin the limit , i hear where u coming from but bro..

lol this guy is pretty good at what he does^

Alexi laiho makes mince meat outta satriani and Vai

thats NOT the point, The point is BE YOURSELF not satriani or vai or alexi

strive to get better in YOUR style,People like u are the 1's who make kids give up their dreams of being on a label n shit, so dont go and say OHH UHH this is boring just cause its not ur style...

[ajgators]

@FrankieDade305

I refuse to believe Alexi can be compared to Vai or Satch.
