I'm not jealous at all, it's just that I find the esthetic value of this performance not too impressing, that's all. The accents aren't especially elaborated and the syncops are really hard to hear because out of the context, it's difficult to hear any rythmical interpretation. It just sounds like a diarrhea of tones. But that is only my opinion, and even if you don't like it, that's how I see it. ;-)
I think his speed is simply unreachable for most people, despite how much they may practice. He is an extremely skilled/talented player and this is one of the very best "Betcha cant play this" on youtube.

@haxel75 Ha Ha rubbish. This is not only very fast but its also very syncopated and lots of carefully placed accents.
Dont get jealous my friend, just get better by LEARNING.

Actually, this isn't much compared to Yngwie Malmsteen, he doesn't have any feeling either, just speed :)
