[TheSonsofHorusx]

[roskas4]

[SatanLovesMetal]

[OctoMania1928]

Jonah Hill, is that you?

[gianzanirizky]

[nengstro]

Romeo both plays like Yngwie and looks like him. Respect;-)

[SHREDDER222X]

@nengstro he plays even better!!!

[fretsonfire18]

Michael Romeo !!

[JuggaloWorldOrder1]

i wanna see him and yngwie do a guitar battle

[vanny89]

I like close ups. Especially with Micheal Romeo.

[sonicsoul0]

that's not true, his picking is very odd and extremely elite in an overkill sort of way.

[jeez0o]

in close-up view his fingers looks so small. i have much bigger, but even though his technique is completely superior :D

[WiredAffection]

I think I found my inspiration.

[RyuuzakiXIII]

His style is just so graceful and powerful at the same time *_* I'ts like an iron hand in a velvet glove. Nice sojourn too.

[billylomito]

2 people, one fetus

[crossfireserb]

better then malmsteen...

[michaelnight67]

Bravo, Maestro!

[Generalwalrus]

Romeo>Malmsteen. Why? Malmsteen can't write music that is amazing and actually enjoyable to listen to.

[DimiCOB]

It's stolen from Bach's Solfeggieto!!!!!!!!!!!

[diaraam]

@DimiCOB

this is how music develops century by century

if it wasn't for a guy like called Hendrix and Van halen whom 'copied' lot of styles and made their own thing from it!

we would probably discovered the styles and all the chops we have, only by now if were lucky enough to have another like those or a Blackmore,or SRV,or Zappa im very sure about that....

[x0ryuga0x]

this hands are amazing man! xD

are smaller but fast

[ilikeboobsification]

[rotharaldk]

@ilikeboobsification Symphony X - The Damnation Game from 1995 ;-)

[herrgard]

[thesilentcircus789]

He messes up the arpeggio at 0:32. Haven't seen that before.

[helpsos20]

[tyramax]

@rrryyytttiiisss

[anival2sorto]

[eransmoler]

[MrChrisEngl]

@peteg35 uh no this one can write

[JimPaganini666]

damn, the right hand is so relax, shit this guy is amazing...

[jacklow01]

is this possibly better than Paul Gilbert's Scarified?

[maidenicarus06]

@jacklow01 idk man its pretty close haha both are just masterpieces

[Sammakkounit]

Looks like he aint even trying.. thats skill

[1397051993]

yo why's he doing a close up? He's mocking us :'(

SX is the freaking shit. If you could see me now, i'd be throwing up the horns

[plesius0000]

because he wants you to know what he's doing =)

[SteamyShrinkyNutz]

his fingers are SOOOOO big but he plays SOOOOO fast

[Silentkill666]

And they're not particularly long, like most guitarits' fingers. I'm annoyed by they belief that you'll be better at guitar if your fingers are long, so I'm glad there are people like Michael Romeo to disprove it.

[SteamyShrinkyNutz]

im not trying to say anything bad, i know you dont have to have long fingers and he proves it

[Chuck201]

shawn lane also had tiny fingers, but he still is the greatest guitarist of all time

[WhammyMike]

yeah same with yngwie lol he's got some girly hands.

[riskest]

nah i dont thinks so. PG said he's good although his fingers are tiny. but it's not true. his fingers are long enough, just a bit shorter than PG's.(meaning PG's are too long lol)

[Hawkon33]

Marty Friedman got pretty damn tiny fingers too!

[omar057]

Michael romeo rules... \m/

[XenetoX]

omfg michael pwns ass lol

[sorak185]

Is he actually *doing* anything at 1:00? Or is he just manifesting the notes into my ears at a speed I can't even fathom?

[acidheadx]

He burned 400 calories just from playing this song.

[KyleJPie10]

He could use it XD.

[mCR2311]

his fingers have terets! =D

[1397051993]

HIS FINGERS BE SPAZZING

[Farsight20]

Oh my Gosh! How does he make it look sooo easy. THere's NO WAY you can learn that unless you've been playin for years and know the gutiar back and front. Upside down and sideways. He looks like he's just playin around with it, not even tryin.

[triviumdstruct87]

im not gonna lie my first impression was a fat yngwie malmsteen

[lukethexjess2]

You're not the only one

[kylegrounds]

yngwies already fat lmao. only difference is that romeo can do more than just shred

[Blackened1993]

toats

[v8metal]

I just love this man.

[murdaughboi]

MR is a god lol he reminds alot of shawn lane type chops

[LanaTheTrainer]

Beautiful! I get goose bumps listening to this metal masterpiece.

[metabog]

I love it when shredding amazing fucking awesome guitarists are in prog bands instead of just solo careers. This is great.

[Vansaligh]

it's my father !

[bigredjj10]

He shouldn't even bother showing us how to play it, there are few who can even get close to playing some of it, let along all of it, perfectly!

Romeo is awesome! So underated!

[ducky811]

Well, you can if you learn it slowly and then work it up to the speed he is playing it here. There are tons of guys who have learned this and that's how they did it.

[bigredjj10]

I know, but you get the point I was trying to make though anyways.

[BigAZChicken]

how do you fret tap like that on multiple strings and make it sound so clean? Michael Romeo, so under rated.

[ducky811]

Learn the area of the notes and practice it. He is not the only person who does it. He is a underrated player. Marcel Coenen is an underrated player. You are an underrated player.

[BigAZChicken]

why thank you mr ducky. and i think I will

[aftershock104]

Amazing

[drawnacrol]

Romeo is awesome
