I watched his lessons in 2008 as high school student obsessed with guitar. Played along the whole video. Today on a hot summer day this Vivaldi metal cover was playing in my head, and then I found out that Alexi Laiho was no longer among us since 2020... 🥲
taylor, justin, rihana and beyonce can die in one night and it wouldnt amount to a small fraction of what losing Alexi means to the world of music, hope he is slaying those guitar solos to his heart's content wherever he is
