damn the intro already shows u a combination of mixes neo-classical ,bit of blues n tapping thrown in plus fast phrases n jazzy eleement , yeh in 1 interview he shared how young he n a fren watch EVH on stage n then went on to try 2 handed techniques in time to come 😊🎉
As much as I am greatly impressed,and I wish I could shred like the best (Gilbert,vai,howe..etc..) I just don't see shred as music.its mundane and annoying to the ear.i know these guys are excellent players and have worked hard at being great,but I just can't get into the shred aspect.i do know that guitarists are shying away from the shredding and playing more melodic,harmony based music.i like simple,feel and soulful music.stuff that's pleasing to the ear and musical soul.i am am intermediate guitar playing.i have been playing 40 years and I can play fast legato runs,tremolo picking..etc..and I can learn just about any song.but I lack the ability to take it to the next level like these virtuoso 's.i am no good at sweep picking and advanced tapping.i never really wanted to put the time into learning it.its just an opinion.i am sure alot of guitarists will disagree with me,but remember.i did say that these shredders are the best and awesome at what they do.its just not my cup of tea.
Greg and Tony MacAlpine are ones of the most underrated guitarists out there! (and we know why!) They are genuine and their melodies are straight to the soul! Happy that I am living in their Era <3
Hello, I am sharing this for fans of Greg Howe and Gambale. and instrumental metal.greetings have a good 2024 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Issoi4f8OE.html
Very odd vortex they got trapped in when you had others in other genres like BB King, Albert Collins, Albert King, George Benson, Django Reinhardt, and even Jimi Hendrix get way more respect and recognition. Hell even. Vernon Reid of Living Color and guitarist from Rage Against Machine . But alas I was throwing in some pioneers in there which tbh probably isn't fair and also commercial band guitarists often get more praise than virtuosos. It's why Rolling Stone magazine posted Kirk Hammett of Metallica a 'better' guitarist than Joe Satriani (his teacher actually) and Steve Vai (the better student of Satch) in terms of top 100 guitarists of all time list even though anyone with an ear and common sense knows that's bs 😂
Crazy how his style has actually changed a lot he was far more neoclassical in his early days but found a way to make his own mark by going down the fusion route. Amazing player.

I saw him play in Toronto not long ago...the guy is a damn legend - killer player. Next up is to see Richie Kotzen whenever I get the chance, after that, I'll feel complete lol
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Back then he played far more "traditionally". These days his style has mutated into something a lot more unique. Even technically; for example his use of bends and vibrato don't even seem like the same guy now--it's mostly just a bunch of sliding smears. Wish he still bent and vibratoed like he's doing here. And you rarely see him play regular sequences and patterns nowadays, it's almost more his own language with a lot more cool altered tones and outside playing.
