I love that he doesn't take himself too seriously, and just acts like a person.

The riff starting at 2:22 is one of the sickest riffs in all rock/metal

2:22 cleanest riff I ever heard man.

Damn, Ozzy made the right choice again. Dude really knows how to pick talented players. Awesome sound!!

people who smile when they play are my favorite.

Those Bark at the Moon riffs are boss as a motherfucker. And that tone is incredible.

Tone is penmanship, playing is poetry. This dude, like everyone who chops wood for Ozzy, is a poet.

I love his joyful expression when he does that natural harmonic and bends the string on the nut on Bark at the Moon.

This Tone was so absolutely delicious, Gordon Ramsey quit cooking. His tone so phat kids stopped making yo mama jokes and replaced it with Gus’ tones jokes. His tone is so sexy it doesn’t even need to advertise it’s only fans account. Good shit mate

There is no doubt that Gus G is one of the greatest rock guitarists on earth!!!!!

Such a humble talented guitarist! I love the way he brings his own style but keeps faithful to the originals! I LOVE 2:45!

can't believe so many people criticizing this guy's tone or technique or saying he's average or that zack or randy is no good either. who are you to criticise send a vid of your own playing to show us how good you are and then you might talk. Otherwise just enjoy these great players out there on youtube!

Gus shows how cool he really is...great guitar chops and a nice guy...

Gus played tonight at Monsters of Rock Buenos Aires, the guy is a beast! and he's so young!! you gotta give him some credit to be in stage and play with a monster like Ozzy =) we all know that nobody can do what Randy did, but Gus is a great guitarist!

Such a nice guy. I recently watched an interview in a greek tv channel and this dude was really down to earth

He took a lot of heat for not playing the variation of F that Jake did but in this video he shows how he plays it and how Jake wrote it and nails them both. This guys a giant!

we are so proud here he is GREEK..He is a macedonian greek from thessaloniki...great character....great guitar player...

Gus G. is an excellent hard rock / metal guitarist! His work with Firewind and Ozzy is phenomenal! World class all the way!

Gus plays Bark at the moon the best, you cant deny it

Gus just adds a flavor to these songs that is absolutely amazing.

Another great ax man for Oz. Not his biggest fan but the man has an ear. I can't think of anyone who wasn't outstanding in their own right. And props to any mortal man stepping in to cover the Maestro Randy Rhoads. Bernie, Brad, Jake, Zakk, Joe Holmes, and Gus. Did I leave anyone out? That's quite a list. Next to Randy I have to say Brad was amazing. His work on Speak of the Devil is just epic. When I finally heard the original Sabbath versions I was let down to some degree.

That is one tasty guitar tone.

Great player very relaxed,confident but not overly flashy!! He looks very comfortable with his guitar, versitile, able to play riffs in each players style at a moments notice!! Ozzy alwayz finds those Gemz!!

Funny how people ramble on about shoes being filled, rating their styles, and other bullshit. Each guitarist that played for Ozzy expressed the music accordingly to what feels natural to them, that's what makes them unique as individuals and as musicians.

I’ve probably watched this video at least a hundred times if not more, I really wish that you would have made a longer video of you playing Randy’s guitar riffs. Dude you’re the closest link to his guitar playing. He lives through you Gus

He slides into every riff.

Gus's riffing is so precise and clean! Great player...💚🎸

His playing is clean and looks so effortless.

I freaking love the blackstar tone. Period

OK. I KNOW EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS, AND I TRY TO RESPECT THAT. UNFORTUNATELY, EVERY ONE CAN'T HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE IN MUSIC. AS EVIDENCED BY THE DISLIKES. ANYWAY, CRAZY TRAIN, AND BARK AT THE MOON HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAVORITES OF MINE. MY OPINION, OZZY WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE GUS PLAY. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE UPLOAD. KEEP ROCKING GUS!!!

I just love it, when guitarists have so much fun playing something that it makes'em smile like 4 year olds!!!

Come on guys... This is just a practice video for KZfaq. Why would he spend hours on his tone just for messing around on KZfaq? Can we just concentrate on his ability and skill, or how about how cool it is that we even have the chance to hear and see the guitarist that Ozzy picked to be HIS guitarist up close and personal? It's supposed to be fun and cool, and you are all only interested in showing how much more you know than than everyone else and how amazingly awesome of a guitar tone expert you are. If you're really that amazing, get In a band, right some rad songs and become as successful as Gus G. That will show him and everyone how cool you are. Not some words in a comment field for a KZfaq video!

I like it. He's living the dream.

Gus seems like a genuinely nice guy! Not stuck on himself, very refreshing!

he's one of the refreshing "low key" guys...very,very likable down to earth

Gus is a great guitar player, there is no doubt about it, but IMO, the best guitar player that Ozzy ever had is Jack E Lee, that dude is crimanally underrated...

In light of the comments here, it's really difficult to regard Gus G as anything other than terrific. I'm old, and saw Randy Rhodes with Ozzy back in the day, but tone, technique, and expectations have risen since then. Ozzy can afford the best, and anyone flaming Gus G confuses me… The guy is good, get over it.

I love how this guy plays riffs

his playing is so fluid and perfect!!!!!!

he does got his own thing going

02:40 cool trick on the headstock there ahah :D

He makes it look so effortless. Great guitar player.

He was such a good choice, he had(s) such good chops and did the songs justice.. definitely underrated.

I love Jake he's one my favorite guitarist but this Gus G not bad I like he puts his own stamp on classic Ozzy stuff

amazing sound and even more amazing guitar player!

Gus G. Is a beast of a player and gentleman. Great combo!

Goddamn. Listening in headphones at high volume, these detuned chords in Bark at The Moon ring out so heavy. Good lord Gus's tone from the way he frets these chords and maybe also his intonation, is just filthy. Especially in the breakdown, or the bridge before the short coda to the solo. It is SO HEAVY. Wow.

O RESPEITO DELE PELAS COMPOSIÇÕES É INCRÍVEL. TOCA CERTINHO E AINDA CRIOU RIFFS HONESTOS NO ÁLBUM "SCREAM" .

Gus G is awesome. Opa!

Cant believe what i Just Heard. I have no words for this. No words.

I can tell you two things - Gus G is one hell of a cool person - got to hang out with him recently. And two, he will BLOW YOUR MIND live. He is really, really good, has great tone live, phenomenal energy and is exceedingly accurate live. His band is phenomenal. Well worth any ticket price you might pay.

@Geoffrey If he was "like anyone else playing at home" he wouldn't play with Ozzy. That simple.

I love the amp. It has some serious balls to it. Its nice and chunky. Its not a Marshall, but it does the job !

That tone is from the heavens opening up and shot straight down to our ears

great tone, great playing

I imagine he’s a good bouzouki player. His timing is so accurate.

He's got a super crisp right hand.

Gus, you’re really really good! smooth as hell, great touch/feel... and you’re a nice guy i can tell!

I had never seen him play up until now but he is incredibly talented! Ozzy is lucky to have found him. Another in a long line of great guitarists.

I hear this, and i realize that i suck at guitar

NO REAL FEEL...WOW..THIS DUDE IS THE TRUTH..OPEN YOUR EARS!!

Really loved his lengthier playthrough of Bark at the Moon

what the hell is wrong with you people..I just love that massive full tone..what's wrong with that..not everything has to be flat and treble

"I've heard versions where people do it like that" - he means Zakk Wylde. Someone said that anyone can sound like Zakk Wylde after playing guitar for 5 years, and I have to agree. Gus G has strange fills, but Zakk uses squeals like a kid who has just learnt them and has to use it 100 times.

Thanks man. You were smiling the whole way. Thanks so much.

He technique is very effortless with no unnecessary movements. Great guy as well

joe holmes was awesome!!

Zakk Wylde is still my favorite Ozzy guitarist but this guy is really good.

That guitar is badass. Looks and sounds perfect perfect

its not about the fans dude! I 've seen Gus G with firewind live 5 times... and every single one of them that guy was happy ... He was smiling all the time... and this is cheerful! also i met him once and he is a fine dude!

I think "a little bit" is very nice! 2:36

I don't care about how he's playin guitar , he's too cute :D Though I love Firewind \m/

Bark at the moon is the best Metal riff in the history of Metal. There isn't even a comparison. And Gus plays it so great!

The harmonics are insane!

Best guitar player since Randy Rhoads

It's actually interesting that a lot of people here are saying that his tone sucks, which it does. The funny thing is, that the sound is so gained that there is no tone. There's zero depth and articulation, it's just distortion. Take a lesson from Dimbag. Large amounts of gain needs to be done with gear that can bring out the notes and the dynamics. Very few amps can do that. Boogie MkII C++, Krankenstein, JCM 800, Diezel Einstein and Herbert are a few of the only ones that can really do it. The Blackstar is a nice amp, but things get muddy quickly, when too much gain is used.

Gus is pretty chill so far as i can tell. i have an instructional dvd of his. people talk shit but what i gather of him is a humble guy who loves and devoted his life to guitar and music. sadly media twists our minds into believing theres guys that play like Gus around every corner. there's fucking not, Gus fucking rips!

Absolutely KILLER tone!!

That guy should be on Game of thrones.

I agree Jake E Lee was Ozzy,s greatest guitar player ever

I saw him live on the local music store, and he was great!

He makes it look effortless.

There isn't enough gain

Gus needs a fuckin beard!!

Guys seriously stop hating on his tone. Just enjoy the music. I'm 17, have been playing since I was 5, and Randy is my biggest influence period, but time change, sounds change, guys wanna add their own flare to a song. It's how he interperits the song. It's his sound, and he's the one playing with ozzy.

That smile when he hits that badass pitch harmonic hahaha

Never really cared for Gus G....no offense Gus. There is no other then Randy Rhoads which those shoes simply can not be filled. However, Zakk Whyle is an amazing guitarist in his own right. No he's no Randy Rhoads however he's up there in a guitarist that will go down in history. Gus the more I watch him the more I do in fact like what I see. I think the issue with Gus thus far is that we have only seen him play cover songs. There's nothing real original that I have seen him do. Still although I rank him #3 of all of Ozzys guitarist having Randy be first an Zakk second. Gus is an inspiration to anyone who plays.

I still don't get how he did that shit at 2:40

I don't know why everyones saying how he's not as good as so and so and how he plays with no feeling. I've heard this guy in his band Firewind before he played for Ozzy. He's fucking great and can play with so much feeling. The Fire and the Fury is such a great example of that.

tones a little muddy, but THANK GOD he's miking the amp and not going through a bunch of damn processors and electronic boards and crap...nothing better than a miked amp....NOTHING!

not even Gus plays bark at the moon right. lol

Such a clean beautiful player Gus is.

Yeah!! He plays the classics with his own feel & touch!! He's a Great Guitarist!! It would be interesting to hear him playing through the old marshall amp ya know?

200 dislikes? WTF!!

"Classic Ozzy Riff" 'cept Ozzy didn't play guitar now did he.

he is exactly what i wanted to be at age 15 ....... 40 years on im still struggling with a practice amp and you tube vids... but its good fun ..

Is there something I am supposed to be impressed by?

Gus G is a really great guitarist, has some fucked up amazing licks, but this tone is flat out garbage

Bark at the Moon was one of absolute greatest guitar tracks ever laid down

Mohamed Ali mecri,you are the man, I have always thought that to, Jake e. Lee, is an always will be my favorite that Ozzie ever had and one of my top 5 of all time!
