Seriously the most underrated guitarist on earth. One of the fucking best!

Romeo is the greatest example of how to be a Neoclassical player without imitating Yngwie.

The best guitarist that never gets mentioned. Not under rated but definately over looked. This guy needs more recognition.

"and on the seventh day, God created a machine called Romeo"

Bach be proud.

The guy beneath me is correct. This video is as old as the internet.. yet more impressive than 99% of all its content.

But we musn't forget the fact that Malmsteen is the reason we have extremely skilled guys like Romeo. And I guarantee you that Michael has the outmost respect for Malmsteen.

This video is as old as the internet

Only when you have completely mastered your guitar can you wear a peasant shirt like Romeo has on... This vid essentially melts faces.

Absolutely! Michael pretty much has ALL aspects of guitar covered! He is absolutely amazing!

Still sick as hell. After starting my playing 15 years ago, I still come back to this one time after time.

I saw his guitar chapter videos first when I was 16 or 17 years old, more than 15 years ago, and it all still haunts me to this day, LOL...

Actually I think this guy takes it to the next level - pulls out some cool harmonics and different styles.

This guy was playing better than most of the best technical metal guitarists even are in the 2020s (most is the keyword, there are some insane monsters today, including Romeo himself).

Un musicien sensationnel J'adore la fluidité du jeu

I love how Michael Romeo isn’t an exact copy of Yngwie. I like his style of neoclassical playing.

perfect guitar playing

he is beyond comparison it isnt that he is fast (which he is) it isnt that he has the most amazing techniques (although he is close) but he has a sound all his own too beautiful for words

Saudade dessa época mais clássica com mais teclado e virtuose , que banda , imagina um album atual nessas pegadas bahh seria animal

The first time i watched michael romeo was in 2010 and i was so amazed. Until now i keep watching his amazing guitar skills.

Who ever does not like this guy............Jealous!!!! No other shredder plays with more melody and fine technique. Many can blister through a million notes, but not with the melody of Michael Romeo!!!!!!!

Hey Michael,you wanna go outside? Nah,I'd rather sit in my house and practice scales My favorite kind of person

Damn, crazy how this video popped up out of nowhere. I used to watch this video a lot

At 0:38 sounds like he had some influence from CPE Bach. The piece is Solfeggietto.

His right hand is so smooth

Whent the tapping starts at the 6th string you know shit got real

The opening riff looks like hes playing twister with just his hands

Glad to see someone agrees with my thoughts. Who cares what Michael Romeo looks like! Michael is one of the most amazing and influential guitarists around. He can more than hold his own against others.

whats nice about romeo is that he picks a lot of notes, thats the reason why i like him, sounds stronger and has more attack.

I don't know much about this guy. Ive's said before, and im glad to hear other opinions from Malsteen fans. Technically Romeo can handle all the Malmsteen stuff, but Malmsteen (back on his 1st two albums) blew everyone's mind. No one at that time heard anything like this. Another point is that a 1/4 of Yngwie's stuff on those albums were slow ballads. He plays with such emotion, especially the song "Marching Out" It's an awesome song. Check it out if you've never heard it. PLAY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing guitarist, i love Symphony X's music.

I play this song... Michael Romeo is a great guitarrist and for me the best...

This guy is the fucking best!!

Flawless

Michael the meastro Romeo!! :D ... legendary!

if i can ever learn this i will know my lifes complete

muito massa o solo é incrivel o michel é um dos melhores do mundo sem duvida.

I dont understand how they memorise that . . Those sweeps are INSANE O>O

Damn right he did! I bet his parents thought that Michael was wasting his time when he locked himself in his room for 8+ hours a day and made a racket!! Look at him now. One of the most respected guitarists around!

I adore this guitar player!

He's awesome player..love it!!

Only the realest are watching this still in 2022.

so clean

MJR is a gift for those in the know in metal it doesn't get any better 👌

All my biggest idols lmfao

I just can't get enough of this video.

MR - best of the best.... even my Guitar teacher said him awesome...

im thinking of trying this.it looks insanely hard!im 40 and wish i had kept at it when i was younger.if i can just about pull off most of Mr Scary then im gonna try tacke this

Yep, still here.

Thanks. I looked for any Michael Romeo DVD's and found nothing also. I'll see if I can get it from Google video. I downloaded the Pentatonic Hardcore one from there and that's over an hour long I believe. Thank you much! It's nice to see that people still behave maturely on KZfaq.

It's like Michael Romeo, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert, then it stops, NO ONE over:D

The God of power metal solos !

Awesome 👏 Mike!

This is a great guitar player with amazing technique!

THANK YOU

this song is making happy my day .

i love the way he taps, sweet...very unique

Thanks for showing it again close up, I needed to be shown again how inept I am at guitaristry.

the legatto GOD!

"THERE IS NO DAMNATION IN CHRIST" ~ ROMANS 8:1

He has hands like BACH ! Pays like BACH ! He has created his own domain ! MUST be BACH reincarnated :)

this looks so much fun to play..

I get what you mean! I am really like their newer album "Paradise Lost". It has great song composition, great singing and most of the songs have the musicianship symphony x is known for plus a heavier sound with more hooks.

"It's easy see? Just a little of this 'n that"...right! His power level is over fuck'n 9000

he will be a legend

No words... Amazing

Amazing

I was quite impressed by his playing on Paradise Lost by Symphony X.

he is awesome

He is the best.

he is a legend...

Its so Dream T gold era!!!!

@1norville Exactly, there can be no other reason for anyone to dislike this mind blowing performance. Romeo is the epitome of technique and power, among a few others.

1:16 holllyyy shitt he traveled the fucking fretboard

I love watching people who know what the fuck they are doing break shit down

incredible

couldn't agree more :)

That's right! He plays awesome!

hermoso ¡¡¡¡¡

might anyone know what amp is using? I love this tone of his

You're a god!!!

learn to respect other musicians too. if you hate listening to this kind of music then don't watch it rather than leaving bad comments. a real musician knows how to respect. by the way I'm not into this kind of music too but he did it so well.

esp best guitar best promotion of guitar in japan

What an extreme accuracy!

a friend of mine met him and he said he was a little dude with really tiny hands. the fact that he can do this with those little cocktail wiener fingers pisses me off even more. now I can't use my small fingers as an excuse anymore

Al Di Meola And John McLaughlin are probably the real first on electric if you want to get technical. First notable at least. They were like shred Jazz, Shrazzers. I'm sure there was some hillbilly in Oregon sitting on the porch whaling away first but, who knows them.

@dellabona69 This shows us an important idea that there is no "so-called difficulty" in playing or learning guitar and all the other musical instruments as long as we always make an effort on it. MICHAEL'S GREAT!!!

Rock on old friend.. Colie

he is insane

this man rock!!!

thank you whitejem09 frank made sweep picking and he is the bomb at it

Fucking yeah!! Romeo totally kicks ass

no fat just pure american wolf

Well said.

yeah hes good man good song!

1:00 - 1:05 those arpeggios and bend are orgasmic!

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ai meu coração!

Bravissimo.

this is a most guitarrist !!!
