You mean the "Speed Soloing" instructional video (1989). I don't like it, because the alt picked parts are sloppy. Insane speed without control. Don't get me wrong, i think, that Chris is one of the best shredders out there, but most of his 80s stuff is sloppy. He has improved a lot since then.

Respect to both of these players. I’ve watched both of them for over 30 years. My two cents: MAB is defiantly cleaner picking technique. I do think Chris’s music is more listenable though. One thing to note is when you focus on fast alternate picking, most shredders can’t pick fast string to string. That’s why they stay on one string for at least 3 notes. That’s also why it starts sounding the same Try alternate picking an arpeggio is you want impressive. Steve Morse style. Try alternate picking jazz lines. Both of these guys would collapse

They are facing different challenges with every shape they try to master so trying to compare them makes sense if they are given the same shapes and then individually try to master them and then the speed of who's faster can just be done by slowing everything down to see what notes comes in first for each player having started at the same time and judging the speed is only one tiny aspect of the world that comprises playing in general .

@Helmutandmoshe 4 ай бұрын

@@MichaelWeizenfeld I agree that playing any kind of patterns, sequences, scales and arpeggios very fast and clean is a difficult task. That doesn't mean that they aren't musically simple. Great guitarists like George Benson, John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth or Pat Metheny could utterly blaze simple patterns like Impellitteri and many other neo-classical shredders play. They actually do that kind of stuff as a finger warmup. Virtually all great players can rip scales and arpeggios. They don't play those kind of things in their music because the ideas and patterns are too simple and don't carry much musical content or weight. And yes, I have played for more than 40 years and I used to play stuff by many of the neo-classical shredders back when I was in my 20's.

@MichaelWeizenfeld 4 ай бұрын

@@Helmutandmoshe we talking about metal which is musically simple in nature (except prog metal). So straight gammas, arpeggios are commonly used. But in lots of Impellitteri's solos and instrumental songs can be found unusual patterns, string skips and other unusual technically complex stuff, making it not so boring as just diatonic scales. When you trying to play it, it blows your mind. It is fair to compare Impellitteri to Paul Gilbert, MAB, Nuno and so on, not to fusion or prog guitarists. I agreed that his early solos was crappy. The opposite situation to Malmsteen where early solos were excellent and gets worse with every new album )

@preston2636 Жыл бұрын

If anything it should sound cleaner on the bridge pickup because bridge pickups are inherently less muddy than neck pickups. If it sounds cleaner with the neck pickup then that just means you're using the neck pickup as a crutch to cover your sloppy playing because neck pickups are so much more forgiving during leads and sloppy playing than the bridge pickup. But as a guitarist, you should know that if the playing is clean it matters fuck all which pickup or guitar is used it's going to sound clean. Pickups never made any body sloppy except for the noobs who rely on it as a crutch for solos.

Both can play. I've said this before what gets me about Miucheal Angelo Batio is the fact that he says he is naturally left handed but plays a right handed guitar. He also has an what I call an overhand technique which is just as fluent as his natural technique. He can play left and right handed just as well. Here is a link to an old Nitro video of him playing a 4 neck guitar. Enjoy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l62WaLGpsbfTdaM.html

@flashraylaser157 Жыл бұрын

He actually fully admits he can't play left-handed equally well. He says he did get advanced enough left-handed to realize he would have been better playing left-handed but that he was just too advanced as a right-handed player by then to put himself though fully switching and losing years just to catch up. That's also why he crosses his arms over each other so often we plays on the left-handed neck, so that he's still picking with his right hand. He's admitted that's a bit of a stage gimmick to make it look like he's making it even harder but that that's actually easier to him than trying to pick that fast with his left hand, which he never fully developed even though he could tell it would have been better. I'm actually in the same boat as him. I'm left-handed but learned to shred quite well playing right-handed. I always wondered if I'd messed up. So many left-handed players who play standard guitars and still manage to learn to shred spend their lives under the delusion that it didn't hurt them at all, or even that it might give them an advantage because the fretting hand does more work anyway (I kinda thought that). Hearing Batio say he couldn't play as well left-handed but did get good enough to know he would have been better that way, was part of what finally settled that old debate for me. So after 20 years of shredding on standard guitars I made the painstaking decision to start all over left-handed before it just looked even more impossible like it did for MAB. Then or never, then or die never knowing my full potential. He was right. It took several years or relentless practice but I did eventually surpass myself. The weird thing is that even though the fretting hand does look like it does more, it's not that hard to train your non-dominant hand to do it. It's more of a body building thing than an aim thing, getting your hands strong, fast, and flexible. Speed picking across strings, even though it looks like so much less, requires way more articulation. So my legato and tapping is pretty much the same both ways now, but my picking is more accurate left-handed. I highly recommend left-handed players to play left-handed and it makes me sad wondering how insane MAB might have been if he'd always played left-handed, or at least fully went through on catching up left-handed.

We may not recognise a single song/solo/lick of MAB (Mutually Assured Batio-struction!!), but when it comes to the category of speed shredding [ Speed. Accuracy.], ..you'd be downright ROBBING Michael -Anj to award it to anyone else. Dude's speed and accuracy are machine like! His picking hand, a half blur of robot-like efficient micro movements...and you'd expect a tough, raw sounding percussive element to it, the way he attacks the strings.. Instead, it's like he has the hands of a surgeon, lighning fast...efficient as hell..but the most impressive thing above all of that...is the smooth consistency he has to every single note. Every note has a full, round bloom, the volume is even...it's not what expect from someone pushing out the fringes of human capacity... MAB is definitely not human. Cyborg... alien... demon or angel maybe... Or even a demigod, or superhuman.. But not just...Human !
