His amazing iwe seen him live twice in Tokyo ! The guitar is his signature guitar! its a ESP Snapper model! Its available in both Gold Silver and Pink Sparkle!

Russell Tharp Go see Babymetal then.

I would love to see him play his own songs, the only time I've seen him was with babymetal, totally worth it if you want to see takayoshi live

Swampster70 Hetfield can't even get close. Not even in his dreams.

Arpeggioshredder No one can play Battery rhythm like Hetfield - Takaoshi comes close but it's not quiet there. Check out James's Guitar Center video that starts out with him playing Battery. Rhythms like that are the domain of Papa Het. That he can construct those patterns and sing over the top of them whilst nearly every guitar player struggles to keep up is testament to his prowess. When it comes to lead guitar, I agree, Takaoshi is miles ahead but that wasn't my point. When it comes to Metallica, it's ironic that my favorite lead parts, the first solo in Master of Puppets and the solo in Nothing Else Matters, are played by James and not Kirk.

Swampster70 I got what you saying, he didnt I guess, even old papa het at his age he’s one of the best Rhytm player top 3 in the world mu opinion, shred wise Takayoshi far better than Het and Kirk, nobody criticise that. But playing Battery without your arm fell off lol its almost impossible..

It's nothing special, basically he's using his right hand to further bend the string from a lower neck position than he could with just the left hand alone

He seems to be sliding his left hand up the neck and the right hand damps (stops) any random noise.

just a little flash move. he likes creating little things like that that dont really have a technical purpose but more of a wow-factor. you can understand it better if you play back the video a bit slower.

The secret how to play like takayoshi ohmura... You have to take high colagen Vitamin C...That is secret japanese people...How to be Amazing.

but...vitamin c is for skin health. what does that have to do with his skill?

そもそもこれはメタルだからな。ただのショーだから。 だれかと対決してるわけでもないの これがライブのクオリティーとかやばい

大村さんが世界一だって人もいるんだし。 そもそもきみがどうこう言えるレベルではない

その音符すらまともになぞれない素人がイキってて草

pyonsu この人がどういう意図で言ってるかわからんけど、リスナーの意見として言ってるんでない？ 素人がプロ野球選手のことを『こいつエラーばっかり』って批判しても『お前できないくせに』って言う人がいないなと同じでさ

You are gay 👍
