Hey, why people admire this kind of playing? Okay its fast, maybe hard yeh, and requires a lot of practice, but where is the musical part? This has nothing to do with music. After all its not hard to play fast, its hard to play music.
Click the link above this in the description for a free Michael Angelo Batio demonstration that includes two of the exercises from Speed Kills 2010 with on screen tab.
The thing about this performance is that he doesn't do it flashily or jerkily-quickly - he makes it look all so smooth and natural, thus making it seem much less difficult than it is. What a guy.
Some say that science is the answer to the worlds beginning , others say that it was a supernatural being that no mortal could see nor hear that created the universe...
its one of the few modern shredders that respects the instrument so much. he cobines feel, with perfect technique and has an awesome style. i saw him live. he just kicked ass...
Hey have a question i hope anyone can answer for me which video of MAB do you think is the best instructional Speed kills or Speed Lives , ultimately i would think speed lives as a old player/instructor but would like any factual advise or opinions ty
MAB is ...just amazing, i can't, nor can anyone else for that matter, say enough about him, he's as nice to his fans as he is a good, nay, great guitar player, he switches guitars half way through a rigorous solo, how? He's MAB, that's how, he's the chuck norris of guitar-isms, MAB doesn't write songs, he just stares at musical sheets and the notes and arpeggios write themselves.
@oldflame0409 ? you fucking moron.....did you read the comment correctly? if you didn't please go check it again before coming loose like that idiot >_>
it was all assume but at 1:16 to 3:56 was so epic I got goosebumps it blew my mind this guy is a guitar god I wish I could play like this on my electric guitar, damn that would be fucking sweet
I'm sure he is, the first guitar is the one heard, the rest are just played and the video is shown on top of the sound of the first guitar. Essentially he's played the song many times and is using video from each of those times, but sound from only the first.
@Sunderlanding well here's the deal dude; MAB got 1# shredder of all-time, cobain didn't. Besides, Cobain in the end hated playing guitar, and MAB still is going strong............don't make a fuss on who revolutionized what, if you hate MAB, thats your opinion, no need to make a fuss about it.
@Sunderlanding yes, but he revolutionized guitar playing in a small bit by doing that, even if it was a small bit. I must ask that you stop tainting cobain's image, you're being a dick doing that.....
@Sunderlanding MAB doin' standard scales and standard chords progressions? WTH !?!?
1) He was Jazz Champ before 18.
2) He attended Northeastern Illinois University and achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Theory and Composition.
3) from Wikipedia: Batio has an advanced knowledge of music theory, having a deep understanding of complex scale combinations and time signatures which assist him in his compositions.
P.D. Listening too much grunge can affect people's perception :P
