You literally have been an important part of my life for so many years. I owe insane amounts of progress on guitar to you. I hope to one day meet you and attend your masterclass, if nothing more than to be in your energy. Thank you. We love you!

Show off! Lol You are a continuous inspiration to us mere mortals.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Mab the Master

I learned everything from your videos instruction ... now i want my keys of the "Lamborghini" !

oh my god!!! this is the actual channel of Michael Angelo Batio himself!!!

Lmao

100%

Wow didn't expect to find you here

The tattoo of the guitar he’s playing really seals the deal. So sick

get Benson and they'll be unstoppable

😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah Mike but we need another lead... **I SAID HOLD MY BEER**

😂😂😂

hold my pick

Thank you!!! How had no one else mentioned that yet?

You have found out my secret!

It's like, The Sword of a Thousand Truths for guitar!

EXACTLY

Hey! I lost a Pick of Destiny a long time ago! Damn you Michael !

Thank you Fabio! I appreciate the nice comment.

Not only Master... Say Ultimate Guitar GOD...

Full master

Master? He is a fucking god of the guitar, a guitar god for sure!

....of two

I met him at a Washburn guitar clinic at a local music store back in the 90's. He is a very nice person. He signed a poster for me, and even talked to me about my hand made guitars. And of course, his performance was mind blowing.

Когда я его вижу то вспоминаю, Ельцин по радио, ;-" страна поставлена в затруднительное положение"

every time. the yes joke. ugh.

@@Kuli24000 and every time it gets a smile from everyone, but you.

@@nathan5137 Does it? If it does, keep doing it I guess. It so plentiful that it's already very annoying for me, but if you guys are enjoying it... sigh... keep doing it.

@@Kuli24000 can't always please the youtube scholars xD

@@skilifavas4016 I don't know. It just amazes me how everyone uses the same joke and thinks it's funny. Humor changes over time, but this one I don't understand.

Hello Stan! Thank you for the support over the decades! I appreciate you!

Man, you need to see dimebag then

Well, he's kinda dead, so...

Thank you! I try to be both entertaining and play great, so I really appreciate you noticing!

replicated Buckethead is pretty entertaining.

Yes he’s fun to watch but man “only guitarist who makes shredding fun to watch” is such a terrible take

Hi Joe. Yes, that was an awesome tour. I was never good at aiming when I throw picks, so I was surprised you said that. :-))Thanks for posting. Great time!

Michael Angelo Batio I’m not sure I could ever fully express just how much your reply made my day. No, MAB, _thank you_ for the years of inspiration, for the years of great music, and for being humble and just downright awesome enough to even take the time to reply to a random pleb like me. My appreciation of you and your music has never been more deserved or well-placed. Keep rocking, guitar brother. Thank you so much.

@@thearabianmage this was so heartwarming to read dude! He is the man!

You need to spend less time playing and work on perfecting that pick throwing skill ( j/k)

this proves that he is the one and only guitar god

Can’t believe it. He can 0-3-5

Haters will say it's fake

I'm imagining him going to a music store to pick up his custom two-necked guitar. He plugs it in to try it out before taking it home and plays the "Smoke on the Water" riff, lol.

No way. Very few can play that song.

She is legend!

His wig will live in infamy. The greatest in rock and roll history

@@dukuncabul9914 you mean HE brother.

Who said he's underrated????

@@AlbertV.Crisostomo did you just assume her gender???

You think that's amazing ? I saw a guy with no arms play with his toes once.

“Do you want to be lead guitar or backup” “Yes”

LoL 😂

@@bogdananderson1472 That doesn't seem so impressive. My 1 year old plays with his toes too.

@@RamMasterRay I'm sure he does.

He almost definitely does

Flawless is a defining term. The way the mind can work, phenominal is an understatement 🙏 Michael eminates the soul of a true theorist, but far more entertaining as brass calabre musician, those fingers are so fast and articulate it makes his body seem almost suspended in motion. Just loved the Randy Rhoads medley he did a while back just to name one.

They are playing different rhythms at different times, sometimes a harmony and sometimes totally different things. Thanks for noticing!

Can't even move my hands at different tempos

It's almost like a joke - like a scene from a movie that is meant to parody shred guitar, but it's real. I love it so much, so ridiculous but amazing.

maybe pre recorded the amps behind him aren't on

@@jayou812a They could just be for show and he’s plugged straight into an audio interface

Definitely prerecorded. You can easily see the camera cut at 3:34. His dexterity is impressive, but that's about it.

It's not prerecorded. It has little imperfections and variations of a live take that match what he is playing in the video. Even if it was prerecorded so what, he is still playing double guitar left-handed, crisscross and harmonies equally, doesn't change anything.

Great feedback Emil! I am very passionate about what I do, and I never take it for granted. Thank you so much for being here!

I have a brand new solo that I will be debuting with my Sawtooth Double-Guitar. I wanted people to see this version of it before posting the Sawtooth one. Thanks.

Michael Angelo Batio Hell yeah. Glad to see this one in great quality. So fun to watch.

Thank you, Liam! Thanks for noticing!

I also heard some pipeline and whipping post in there. This guy is awesome.

never drop it again!

Keep at it and in a few years you'll thank yourself

Keep it up man great job!

I've been playing 10+ years and couldn't even tell you where that is on the guitar 🤣 so good job man. If you keep playing you'll keep getting better. Don't ever stop and most of all keep finding new ways to enjoy playing! The world needs music now more than ever. God knows I'll never shred like MAB, but after a while you do develope your own unique sound and style. Everyone sees the guitar as something different and sees different ways to use it. This video is a perfect example haha. Just remember, shredding is badass. But the true point of music is to enjoy playing it and to create unique sounds that take people to unique places and create unique emotions. It doesn't matter how much you shred, all that matters is that you pick it up and play. And if shredding is what you want to do, just keep playing and trying new things. Eventually it becomes like a second language and you can start to play just like you're talking. Don't ever put that guitar down my dude and keep that hunger to learn and grow. With those 2 things you'll play whatever you've ever wanted and even more. You'll blow your own mind I promise haha if you can hear it, you can find the way to play it. Best of luck to you in your musical journey, please don't ever stop because music makes the world go round. Fat bottom girls only help to keep it spinning ;)

Thanks to Michael and Troy Grady I've been somewhat obsessed by the mechanical side of techniques. I've learned alternate picking and I can now sweep up and down the neck. Also, getting pretty comfortable with cross picking. And in a span of 10 months now, I'd say it was really fast, age considered. The secret is patience, practice a bit everyday, and I can't recommend TROY GRADY enough. The guy breaks down techniques like no one else. Check out his series "Cracking the Code" (MAB is in it!) Now I feel it's time to buy a keyboard and learn some music theory :). Maybe actually make some music. Thanks for the encouragement, guys.

Hope it was a good birthday 🤘🏻🤘🏻

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial it was the best birthday ever ❤

Thank you 🤘

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial you are the best!😉

Oh he came for me, but the shred fended him off.

Was gonna say Satan probably sold his soul to Batio to play like that 🤣

Dude I’m pretty sure the devil would have to sell HIS soul for this level of shred

For real

Thanks! 😁🎸🎸

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial thanks.... This is wild

Great riff 🤘

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial Hey man. Replies like this one from you are, besides your amazing talent, the other half to the coin that is you. Your personality and genuineness is unparalleled! Especially considering the level of talent. You're a good influence. Just so you know it buddy :)

Check guthrie govan then talk xD

@@sandrosarunic9486 I would say guthrie is probably better at legato and tapping but MAB in his prime has one of the best picking and sweeping techniques of all time and is still one of the best in my opinion

@@kiloreynosa5522 it depends what you are comparing. Can Guthrie play left hand guitars? Can he play both left and right at the same time? Upsidedown? In that regard we know who is better...

Absolutely 🤘🤘

Hahah, Steve is a great player! Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, I'll do a playthrough to that for sure and a lot more of my songs.
