Michael Angelo Batio deserves 4k resolution videos

I really Love that you are kind enough to take the time to sit down and do all of this for us. Not everyone is always so wiling to share their knowledge. And all with a good sense of humor. You rock.

"Helping you be a better you" - Love your passion MAB!

The person who disliked this video has no soul. Thank you for this Mr. Batio!!!!!

Such a passionate teacher 🎸

This abundance of sense of humor and likability makes him such a joy to watch and listen to.

It's awesome to have a lesson directly from you Michael! Thank you!

I love Michael's teaching style, this video is really fun and gives us a great picture of his ideas. In Japanese martial arts there is a concept known as Shoshin or 'beginner's mind', the idea is that you have to maintain the mindset of being a beginner, a willingness to try things, to have an open mind, that techniques are just techniques, each with their purpose. This is sooo similar to what Michael is talking about. Man I would have loved to be a student of Michael Angelo Batio! you rock man, cheers from Canada

Not only do you deserve credit as an exceptional musician, you deserve recognition for being an outstanding human being. Thank you for spending your time helping others enjoy music even more.

It's like watching a modern day Mozart after 20 Red Bulls. Better than any instructional video, taking time out of his day to help for free during a difficult time. Thanks Mike!

Michael Angelo is the real deal. I actually had the privilege of attending one of your guitar clinics here in Malaysia in 2013 and got to see him play live with a double handed guitar. No camera tricks, just pure insane talent. I also got him to sign my Ibanez guitar and I remember him saying to me right before we took a picture, "I am endorsed by Dean guitars so you might want to cover up the Ibanez logo on your guitar when we take the picture". LOL. He is definitely one of the most influential guitarist to everyone out there who has ever held a guitar. Keep the great lessons coming.\m/

'people get off on a tangent and that tangent becomes their reality', that blew my mind

When the guy with probably the best electric guitar technique ever tells you how to improve your technique, I’m inclined to listen. MAB is a class act dude.

Man, having lessons from Michael Angelo Batio and Steve Vai with loads of free time Quarantine is not that bad...

thanks for the lessons Michael, there is a lot of us who appreciate it, greeting from serbia!

Hi Michael, thanks so much for doing these livestreams/KZfaq videos. This lesson helped me immediately!

I feel sorry for anybody who doesn't play an instrument, while we are in isolation. Seriously. Best thing ever.

You’re such an inspiration & role model sir 🙌🏻

You're a good dude Michael. Luv you take care, props on living the guitarist dream, and sharing with us!

Heck yeah man!!! Really dig your ethos and channel...can't wait for the new album!!

Your energy is infectious, Michael! All the best ✌🤘🙌🙏

Nothing like I thought he was. Absolutely real and someone who cares. You get what you see...

A true teacher, genuine at heart. Thank You for this.

Love your passion! Fantastic video MAB!

your an absolute machine at what you do , i know you might have heard that enough but it has to be said. thank you for giving these lessons out of sheer will to help other guitarists improve. rock on!🤘🏼

Awesome tips from the maestro. Thanks for the inspiration!

I am absolutely blown away by your video! I can’t thank you enough Michael for sharing such a great and informative lesson that really cut right through the fog on how to truly develop not just speed, but the proper foundation of something has been proven by your life long success with the guitar! I have subscribed to your channel and going to find out more about your master class. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Sir!

Can’t believe I only just found your channel. Absolute guitar hero and legend! Thanks so much for the content brother. We appreciate you

Love all your videos, your playing and accuracy are impeccable! I’m a fan!!

You really are the best all round person... Such a lovable character how can anyone dislike any of this mans videos... He's a living legend... Long may you live my friend 🤟🏼🤟🏼

I really love this content but also all the comments here, we are all here to learn from one of the best but also from each other. Really unique community !

I watched your video on speed kills about 16 years ago and never thought I'd get the chance to have these more personal conversations over the coming years, not only on music, but on your credentials, history and experiences; it's almost as if I am tuning in to see an old friend lol Much appreciated that you spend your time teaching others and putting that zeal into the veins of others. Take care and the very best to you 🤟

Thank you for this lesson Michael Angelo Batio, you have been an inspiration to me for more than 15 years

Guitar aside, you come across as such a genuine, nice bloke. Cheers for the video and greetings from the UK.

I love your wisdom and enthusiasm. Also your guitar and setup sounds awesome! Always loved speed kills, was a big help when I was first learning technique years ago, and even more today as I’m a working guitarist in a wedding band and reenforcing the fundamentals. This video is gold and I can’t believe you made it free. Thanks for all you do Mike!

Thanks for doing these videos they are awesome! I have loved your music for years!

What a class act! I totally feel the love and passion you have for the guitar and I share that passion too, I’m a mid-level player but I look forward to playing everyday! Stay safe!

Great artist and mentor. Best of luck, Michael!

Michael thank you so much for taking the time to share your expertise and methods that will help us in our guitar journey. I purchased your speed Kills several months ago and it has helped me better than any other course that I have used.

You're a genuinely good guy and real guitar god , I don't think there's anyone as technical as you are

Michael you were an inspiration for me for a long time now. First time i saw "Speed kills" my jaw was dropped and split to thousand pieces! Love your attitude and shredding. Keep up the shredding!

I first found you on KZfaq on your speed kills video demo and I was blown away, I thank you for these recent tutorials, it gave me a reason to dust off my old amp, and break out my Washburn that I haven't played in years due to having a young family, my own business and house. I play acoustic with my boy but until last week I've never broke out my amp and electric my 4 year old was blown away when his dad broke out an electric guitar and started to jam, he thinks I'm as cool as you (which I am not in any way) and it was truly a great moment in my life I thank you for

Man... you understand that everyone loves you cause you are a guitar legend and one of the nicest people out theare!!! Love from Greece

I love this man. ..Mike you really saved me . I have been going through a really rough time. But thanks to you I can step outside of my head and play guitar....Thanks man

I knew it. You're not only a guitar legend but also a cool dude too! Rock on !!

MAB you are the best, man. Such generosity from a pro says a lot. Thank you.

Such humility. Anyone who knows at least a few guitar greats will know Batio is right up top of the list among the most legendary ones. More power to you, and now I will try my best to eat everything in this channel

Awesome! Thank you for such a great lesson.

Such a very humble man for having such an awesome gift of guitar skills!! I’ve always looked up to you Michael and I hope to absorb everything you have to teach us! You’re composing skills are just as top notch as your speed. Thank you for posting your wisdom to us all!!

thank you, Michael... every time when I wanted to show something insane about guitars to my friend, I showed speed kills SO MANY TIMES !!! u are legend

Thanks for this it's great! I honestly never heard your music before other than hearing that you play fast, though I'm a fan now! You're a great teacher and you seem like a good guy, I'm learning a lot thanks.

You are a great guy Michael. Thank you for being awesome!

Why anyone would thumbs down this video let alone a legendary guitar player is beyond me. I just found your channel Michael and have just subscribed. I hope to catch your live video next time. Peace brother and stay safe.

Aside from being a guitar legend one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Nice to see you Michael! I've started playing guitar partly cause of you and your playing.

You're a real legend MAB! Love your wor work, from Brazil!

The emphasis on doing short loops to build speed and accuracy is the best advice I have heard lately. I’ve been trying that out on some things and it seems to work. I used to think going all the way across the neck was the supreme way. But, little did I know, it just slowed me down.

These videos are very helpful, Thanks for passing on your techniques & music knowledge to us guitar addicts.

God bless you buddy - your love of helping others and your ferocity for music is undeniable

Great Lesson!!

I've been enjoying your recent KZfaq as they are connecting with me more than the past work. Thanks for taking time to create these. You are inspiring me to take control of the technique.

Michael rocks. Super passionate guy, who seems very genuine and sincere about helping people be the best guitarist they can be. Awesome! Thanks Michael

such a humble guy. exceptional talent and really invested in helping others succeed. amazing guy!!!! tip of the cap to you good sir!!!!

Michael you are a true inspiration to me as a guitarist we are a heavy metal band from South Africa. Since I have been watching you my playing has gotten so much better , thank you !

You seem like a genuine person. I'm glad I ran these videos you surely rock. 2thumbs up...great video.

this is the kind of lesson i have been looking for from the best guitarist ever....thank you Michael-you rule

A true master and legend..this man is just amazing. There is nothing he cannot play.

Michael, your philosophy rocks! Thanks for all the inspiration.

Excellent video. You rule dude! Watched the speed kills vids a few years back and have been doing the exercises. Really works. Am getting there. Have recently realised how important mindset and belief is in achieving goals as well and it seems like a massive game changer. Love from the uk

This man is the best that is out there in alternate picking.. He is so accurate it sometimes feel unreal..

These free lessons are great, I've already about doubled my playing speed within a few minutes after fixing my technique from this video. Amazing that you're willing to give back to everyone for free

In the words of Sonic the Hedgehog, “Gotta go Fast!” If Sonic were to have a guitar teacher, it’d be you! Thank you so much for giving back during these tough times!

One of the most gifted guitarists on the planet and a nice guy too . No airs and graces just great teaching and a great technican

Thanks for these awesome lessons man, you are one my favorite guitarist, I just subscribed to your Chanel.... keep up the good work...cheers from SOCAL...

Great lessons from a legit speed guitar legend. Thank you.

MAB is such an incredible guitar player and a pleasure to listen to. Not just playing guitar, but his teaching skills and explanations of how to play the greatest instrument ever. I’ve been a huge fan since the early 80’s. Such a one of a kind talent.

Im so glad that i found this kind of lesson from a master like you!~ Greetings! Love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭💖 🤘

You are a living metal god, you have won your constellation for eternity, thank you for your talent.

I appreciate these videos so much. It reminds me of the guitar teacher I had when I was a kid, but the lessons are 500% better, and free. Thank you they have helped my playing immensely

I remember your ads in guitar world back when I subscribed and used to do the lessons you had in guitar world and they helped me a lot. So cool you have a KZfaq channel now. Subscribed!
