Mike Campese-Shred Machine

[OneDownServer]

horrible guitar tone. sounds like an old computer.

[johnny5rockstar]

actually, for those who condemn out of envy below, Mike studied with Paul Gilbert @ G.I.T., received Gold Record Stats with Trans Siberian Orchestra, and an occassional columnist for Guitar World Magazine. Most importantly, not only a former teacher, but a good friend. It is hiliarious, but also an honorable gesture to read some of the negative comments based obviously on jealousy.

[MrFoxyFoxy59]

He is a machine. That is all.

[thelackas]

great solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[GarrettX1991]

This is the longest betcha can't play this ever...

[itayash]

yes he play like this because of the strings...... and to think i learned guitar for 4 years.... i should buy those strings.... WHY GOD WHYYY! :)

[7ammood]

i have the exact same strings !! :D

[Shining4Dawn]

He plays like a god... But damn, his drum machine sucks ass! It ruins the whole thing!

[mikebajista]

@Shining4Dawn yeah you're right,it sounds like a nintendo game

[thatboimanny]

[deathcore1239]

[34howbyw]

[Cusseboy]

[lockofthedeath]

Elixir strings ftw!! D:<

[RenatoAfran]

[ibanezcassidy]

[MatiashCorvich]

Адово.

[fmj2]

[Ninjaro]

Yea. What is it. I don't see any info on any equipment endorsements on either of his websites.

[DB73093]

@fmj2 looks like a vigier

[taztherocker]

@fmj2 It's an Anderson.

[fireamracing]

this is the 2nd time ive watched this guy and the one thing ive noticed is his playing is not the same boring shit sweeping appr.....and all that shit he does a different approach

[coolmania]

@fireamracing yeah, I take lessons from him (New Music, Albany) and his style is so vast. You may not believe me about the lessons and im used to that lol

[afrolessnova]

STAMINA!!! You have some chops man.

[neiko066]

@afrolessnova no kidding any normal persons fingers would be destroyed he prolly burned 500 calories just playing guitar LMAO!

[axel40k]

[7Finch]

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

CRISS ANGEL

[BlisterKnot666]

[Servant0fSteel]

[6rosebudX]

wow...that phrasing is so amazing and original!

great song

[fenderbender92]

A+ mazing

:D

[6rosebudX]

which amp is that? is it mesa boogie?

[Steve128967]

Yeah, the last two letters of the logo on the cab look like Mesa.

[hesh3216]

that backing track makes it hard to listen to, other wise it was grand. there was a part that sounded a tad like arpeggios from hell, but more melodic and what not.

[stumply]

anyone ever seen a tab for this?

[jjgfx]

amazing endurance

[Dreadlord67]

You know.....I agree, but do you see how this shred has nothing to do with guitar strings? :D It's making me think if I buy these strings I can do that.

[Xx444nathan444xX]

That's marketing for ya, haha.

Those assholes!

[ATBT13]

I was being sarcastic tough guy

[6rosebudX]

d addarios are the best!

[Stagliano27]

Gee, do ya think he just might have a D'addario endorsment?? Great player btw!

[ATBT13]

he's ok, with a few lessons he might build up some speed

[LedZepBLSSab]

an ur better?

[coolmania]

he TEACHES lessons, why would you say he's okay? I take lessons from him and h is THE BEST guitarist I have ever met, not to mention how much variety he can play

[JayLovePlaysGuitar]

sure you do

[guitarfreak714]

my ibanez came with d'addario strings they sounded nice but i switched to dean markley

[RejectYourMorals]

lol noob

[planck23]

DR all the way

[Ichliebegermany]

the only problem i have with my d'addarios is that they get slippery real easy.

[AkumaGen007]

i really like this guy he does really cool progressive stuff thats my fav

[Zukirinki]

ÄHLÄM XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[ThrashMetalKid156]

backing drum blocks out the music :@

[dysguitar]

backing drum track sounds like shit.... but guitar is amazing... what a beautiful tone

[arroyomusic]

The baccking track is really just for a metronome...

[gregaxx81]

fucking beatifull tone expasially for a shred.

[whoosoo]

what is the brand of his guitar?

[Chris741113]

Tom Anderson

[RejectYourMorals]

your mom

[CkerCky]

ROFL

[6rosebudX]

its tom anderson

[coolmania]

are you kidding me, that's Mike Campese, he's my guitar instructer

[6rosebudX]

lol man...lucky you

i was replying to comment that said: "what brand of guitar is that" ;)

[coolmania]

Oh haha sorry. The guitar he uses when he teaches is a Fender Stratacaster. It is amazing to hear him playing while I'm setting up. Definitely one of the best in the world

[zodiackilla]

Its nice to know that YouTube is full of up front liars..

[coolmania]

You are retarded. DO SOME RESEARCH. He is in Albany at New Music and he also taught at other areas. HIS WEBSITE EVEN LISTS HIM AS A GUITAR TEACHER! CALL HIM AND ASK HIM HE WILL EVEN TELL YOU!You are a FUCKING DUMBASS

[zodiackilla]

Oh no! I think its time for a diaper change!

[aveblade]

im guessing albany new york??

[coolmania]

yeah, at New Music, zodiackilla has NO IDEA what he is talking about, I hate Youtube noobs like him...

[aveblade]

pwahahaha! what a choch!!! yeah I was about to freak out cause I live in Albany Georgia and if he was located here I would die instantaneously. And then come back to life by the thought of knowing I would be able to take some lessons from that beast!

[coolmania]

lol yeah it is great. I have a make up lesson on Wednesday at Colony Center because he missed a week because he was at NAMM '09. Best of luck to you

[RejectYourMorals]

This guys cool lol.

[morthyr]

I think it would sound better if the backing track would have a corresponding bassline.

THIS GUY ROCKS THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYBODY

[LWD12]

Absolutely amazing, when I hear someone shredding on youtube you can't even hear what he or she is playing, but you play beautiful man

[morthyr]

That's because this guy knows tone. A great tone doesn't mean a ton of distortion or overdrive and saturated bass and highs.

[CTROCK]

good guitar player mike. CTROCK THE HIP HOP ROCK GUITAR ARTIST

[barakahasard]

brutal! you're a shred machine!

[vikingfan1494]

someone would literally die if they put this in guitar hero or rock band

[mikekl330]

i hope there's a studio recording of that.

[picwilfurd]

They truely are delicious to my fingers. I hope there paying you a lot to say that.

[Hanley71]

he used to live behind my cousin in Latham NY

[holydiver0692]

he is located in the Albany NY area

[Ryuten]

[tiredoftypical]

[n3r3m4c]

[mirwhoelse]

duddeee, nice!!

[stumply]

anyone know if theres a tab out there for this song?

[Lubial]

he is most be deaf having that mesa on his left side hahahahaha kidding but he is amazing

[bassist12345]

does anyone know what this song is called or where i can download it? i don't wanna have to make an audio rip with this video because youtube has poor sound quality.

[Metalaxeman666]

he needs to but some melodies in cuz complete shred is tedious... even so great playing

[massfx7]

it would be funny if one of the strings that he was advertising broke :(

[neiko066]

@massfx7 hah surely theyd make a new video but that would be fuckin hilarious as like a bloopers funny lmao!

[grzana2429]

@massfx7

Isnt that what usually happens eventually to the string ? O_o

[greensp4rk]

@grzana2429 you should replace the strings before one breaks...

[timburnley]

thats alright, but i bet he cant put a fruit pastel in his mouth without chewing it.

[HippieSahn5]

Id Sell My Balls To Play Like That!

[G0D666]

I HATE the drum machine beat but the playing is excellent.

[webglamour]

freakin awesome!

[disndat11]

personally I find shredding very boring

[kmk4juggalo20]

[lesbi132]
