  • @6EELZE6U6666 - you have to go with what works for you. There are no true rules ... I do believe an efficient pick stroke will give you the most speed. That and a ton of practicing! - Carl Roa

  • In my opinion without Paganini there wouldn't be heavy metal...

  • I'm amazed that a guy with you ability picks from the elbow

  • Tubes indeed rule. Hahaha!

  • Jason Becker's Version! Love it

  • actually I after this I feel like accusing paganini of ripping bach off

    almost exact same riffs for bach fugue #13

    I'm a guitarist not stupid

    same situation in cross roads.

    shit if it were about playin bach and paganini I'd have had a recording contract 5 damn years ago.

  • not certan why this does absolutely nothing for me.

    if it was all about this , I'd call sony right now for a job.

  • @xKotobax damn it ^^ yourighman.. *sigh*

  • @Chisuz its steve vai bro!!

  • @Chisuz that was Steve Vai, and part of that duel was Caprice No.5 by Paganini, about 0.25 into this video you can hear it
