[lovescarguitar]

I wish I could play in a hangar.......:(

[Quartrez]

@lovescarguitar I wish I could play in front of a green screen too

[Seandude223]

Is the Floyd on that Charvel recessed out in the back or not so that you can't pull up? If it isn't, then that might just be the deciding factor in whether or not I get one...thanks in advance!

[jenn4utube2011]

Awesome playing, very beautiful, guitar the key to life.

[MightyPivotLettuce]

AWESOME SOUND... that warehouse has such a great acoustic xD

[rmjon23]

Totally KILLUH! I'd never heard of Aspey. Ridiculously elegant shredding, tasty and melodic. Overall I give it a 10 of 10 and I can't dance to it because my face melted, and I couldn't see my shoes.

[masii22]

Very nice men!

[elixergtarist]

Sounds like Vai!!

[TheBhannah]

[cilcannonvryce]

the eighties are coming back when everyone where's a fucking blazer. booooo. good playing though.

[osborne1971]

Frickin tasty, meaty, shredding, and a side of melodic character!!!

[shpamxoxo]

[cortarelva]

Daammm your a fantastic player man.

[vestel777]

It was a cheap guitar I got from Ebay a Viper from some cheap store. I want to learn how to play just like you. You have many fans who want to learn from you. Make the instructional videos and post them on Youtube. Your the reason I want to learn how to play. In my book your already a Legend.

[vestel777]

Bryan,

You should make instructional videos for those of us who would love to learn from you. Start with the beginner and work from there. Your the reason why I bought a guitar this past year.

[TheAnubis567]

Now THAT'S what I call putting feeling into your playing! Nice

[ookie94]

perfect combination of shredding plus feeling

great job bro

[sarinapaparone]

[VMRguitarguy]

[bnclalala]

[vestel777]

Dude You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw some Michael Angelo Batio thrown in there with the way you used your fingers. Dude do you have your own rock band?? You should out there on stage kicking people in the head and taking no prisoners. Do you have any albums out yet?? And where can we get them??

From your old student Fred at Alex Music. Amazing.... I thought you were an acoustic freak like me back then. Had no idea you could shred like this. Bravo

WOW ! U RAPE THAT GUITARS FACE !!!!!! Man.. i love You. nuff said

[light487]

Great technique, great ideas, great stuff overall except for a few moments of poor execution.. there were a few changes where I cringed inside because they kinda grated against my soul.. you are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than me and I am no musical genius but I know what I like and what I don't like and what sounds right and what doesn't..

I can see why you were in the top 5.. but I can also hear why you weren't placed first. Hope you don't take this the wrong way..

[JonBatz]

How did you not win??? but HOW? emotional, well structured, technically awesome.......I bow to you!

[guitarater]

Great stuff man..

[byronelmendorf]

godamit, Bryan...if I didn't like you so much, I'd hate you. This is fantastic! I'm even more impressed than the last time around. hot damn, brother. I'd like to talk to you about a plan involving the brothers Elmendorf bringing you out west for a week or so in exchange for some intensive lesson-age! PS - when did you pick up the Charvel? I love it!

[stirlingELMENDORF]

Oh my GOD... You have passed the threshold of MADNESS. This is utterly original and unbelievably musical--- your phrases pass with ease between each other with no hindrances or musical contrivances. Bryan- the bowing doesn't go low enough!!! KANPAI!!!

[franalonso38]

Fantastic Solo Bryan !!!

Good Luck

[M0rganstudios]

Wow man, awesome work.

[anngogh]

YOU WIN!  I'm the official judge. :-D

[shortbusoneohone]

with an incredible solo like this, WHY ON EARTH don't they get better backing tracks the drum part is just flat out lame and the rhythm guitar could use a little attention but it's not too bad

[cthayer11]

killed it again dude.....great job

[DerCorny]

Super!

[TMUSICIAN]

I dont know why, but I see too much of Steve Lukather in your style :D
