Haha, this actually was hilarious to me even though I'm a huge Zakk fan. Holy shit that made me laugh hard.

@JosephCurteis I think he was referring to 16 - 18 seconds. You can tell Andy is not alternate picking that part, whereas Zakk does. Andy only picks the first note of each 4 note sequence there, but Zakk picks every note. There's a video on youtube where Zakk actually teaches the solo to this ...

@DREWatMRHS Andy is certainly more technically proficient for sure (sweeping, alt. picking, etc.), although Zakk would smoke him when it comes to the hybrid/chicken pickin stuff. But I'd say Andy is better at everything else to be honest. If you've watched Andy's instructional videos, you'll se...

@tsirosgoddammit I'm having the same issue. I believe you are correct though in your description of how it is played, but when I do it it just doesn't sound quite the same.

@TheDarrenfleming Yay, I've spotted the troll! It's just a little game I play on these boards. You were too obvious though, I'd try a little more subtlety next time so you aren't so easy to spot right off the bat. That makes the game more exciting. No skill involved? See that was your mistak...

@die0eule0ulrich economy picking. Down, down, up, down, up. Then repeat. Down on 13th fret of B string > Down on 10th fret of E string > Up on 15th fret of E string > Down on 13th fret of E string > Up on 10th fret of E string. He repeats it a few times, he just does it really fast. He uses ...

@AlexJasso100 Andy and Zakk play that part differently (not to say this cover isn't awesome). Andy uses hammer-ons and pull-offs, only picking the first note in each 4 note sequence. He picks the 19th fret on the high E, pulls off to 14th fret, hammers onto 17th fret of B string and pulls off to...

Great job. This is a tough song!

Very nice job man. This is not an easy song to play by any stretch of the imagination, but it sure is awesome.

@corpusIjurislciviles Give me a break, this guy has at least as much technical guitar skill as malmsteen. In my opinion he has way more technical skill actually. Just check out his performance of burn it down for god's sakes.

@bluberization I wish! Thanks a lot

@weasdy I see that as well. I think it's because he recorded this solo and got the audio in one take, and then filmed himself playing it 3 or 4 times from different angles so he could switch up the angles. The problem is, he didn't play it exactly the same way when he filmed it from those other...

@gabirsca1 Thanks a lot. I use a BOSS GT-6 effects pedal, plugged in to computer via USB. I just used one of the stereo lead presets that was pre-programmed into the pedal, then I added a little chorus to it.

@MarioSixString He hit the wrong note at 13 seconds, it was definitely a mistake.

@kevnski3snrs Yes, but he was doing a cover of the way zakk played it on jimmy kimmel live. Zakk played it with those harmonics, so he was just trying to replicate the original as closely as possible.

@godlikeMuGeN1 Seriously no one has answered this question yet? The part he plays at :43 is not e-minor pentatonic, although the rest of the solo sounds like it. The part at 43 seconds is the E natural minor scale, not e minor pentatonic. The e minor scale contains the same notes as the G majo...

Sweet, very nice acoustic playing

Nice, better than most youtube covers I've seen
