It seems like it's rare these days for guitarists to really use sweeps effectively, it usually seems like just a gimmick, like they're just going "ooh look what I can do". Paul, however, actually manages to keep emotion in his. It isn't just a technical thing to make it sound harder, but actually compliments the solo.
paul is just RETARDED. he's so unbelievably technically sound that i cant believe what im watching. fucking amazing.
its almost like hes not even trying or faking it and that PERFECT sound comes out in ONE EFFING TAKE!?? DAMMMMMN YOU PAUL!!!! u sick son of a bitch!!!!! FUCK!
This is old. Paul's done better solos since this one, and he's not even using Ibanez anymore. This is probably my favorite solo from him, but he does have better, more technical ones.
they are both good, but the songs are all flash and trash, like "hey check out how much i can shred." BTBAM is infinitely better than them in that department.
Um, Necrophagist has some amazing shreds, being a TECHNICAL DEATH METAL band. Not dissing BTBAM, I love them, it's just that he's not the greatest guitarist ever
Chris Broderick, Marty Friedman, Jeff Loomis, there are quite a few others. But Paul is up there. Check out the top 100 list, they show more than 100, and some of it is weighted based on popularity instead of skill, but I think Paul is in his appropriate spot (He made the list, at around 125, which is amazing considering the number of musicians in the world and other genres, and popularity the band gets weighted, which is 0 compared to some of them who didn't really earn their positions imo)

@lvlellovv9 Go buy colors songbook. At the bottom of the first page it reads:
"All Guitars are tuned as follows: 6-C# 5-F# 4-B 3-E 2-G# 1-C#"
In other words, C# STANDARD.

actually your right...im playing it in C tuning ( C F Bb Eb G C) which is one half step below BTBAM's tuning. so it would be Fminor for me
