1st Place Winner of Ibanez Flying Fingers Indonesia 2017 Akbar Ajie 

Not gonna lie I expected somebody just sweep picking the whole time but man that solo has so much emotion!!!

that whole build up with the big bend at the end.. that is some powerful guitar emotion. 2:52

Im not really good at playing guitars but this one of my favorite solos of all time. Aside from my own bands lead guitarist of course

Stop the hate! It’s guitar brothers!!! We all love and adore it.

He can actually play. Not just 3000 scales per second. Soulful.

Really great voicing, touching playing. Love it. Soulful! Respect!

So beautiful!! have literally watched this 100 times your right hand is amazing, you make it look so easy big thumbs up.

This absolutely drips with feeling. Beautiful playing.

great job! paul knows what good for the ears and you sir have that goodness in your playing!!! keep up the feels!

Wuih. Main LIVE ga gampang lho. Apalagi kalo single tanpa band. Alone... Diliatin sama gitaris laen. Trus tau kalo direkam 1x take. Untuk di upload. Pasti maen dibawah tekanan. Coba aja sendiri.. Segini sih udah keren abis. Layak lah jadi juara 👍👍👍✨

Amazing solo. Thanks for this post. Best regards here from Brazil.

just an english comment passing by

Setuju. gw sebagai followers IG nya akbar aji gw tau pegangan dia bukan ibanez tapi Yamaha Pacifica. kelihatan dia grogi karena belum terbiasa pakai ibanez dan merasa canggung di tonton banyak gitaris lain. gw pasti juga akan merasa sama. tapi si akbar ajie bagi gw salah satu the best gitaris yg Indonesia miliki.

so awesome. like i can feel the emotion. you're the man!!!

Fantastic solo in my opinion. Extremely melodic and beautifully constructed. Mistakes here and there, nothing no one else wouldn't make. Well deserved win my friend. Great solo.

dont care who said what about this solo. i am continiously listenening to it since yesterday. This Solo touched my heart and felt something which i cannot explain. Love from Bangladesh

gosh, heard him playing and that solo like ripped all my soul , no need tricky sweeping tech , just let emotion flows through his dancing fingers

This title should have been Indonesian guy playing guitar beautifully.. I'm a very beginner guitarist and I liked this.. You're masters of the guitar so you didn't like it.. But why do you have to bash the guy instead of applauding how far he has come.. Right now I dream of becoming as good as him.. Don't break that down..

It's amazing how many people don't read the description.

No 320bpm endless up-down scales and sweeps. Finally a good solo. Very well deserved first place, ma dude.

LIVE solo diliatin gini kalo ga rasa mau pingsan, rasa mau boker ama blank. sekalinya ada salah sampe taon depan keinget terus

3:16 that bend is magical

well played man! really love it, and I'm enjoying it!

Paul Gilbert choose him as a first winner FFI really nice i want to meet u Mr Akbar Adjie for sharing

Saya yakin dia jago, cuma memang dia tertekan, dia gabisa enjoy. Tapi good job bang, keren lur.

Hadeh, yg komen negatif itu sampah.. 1. Emng lu bisa main kaya dia? 2. Ilmu lu uda cukup tentang live performances dgn instrument, pedal, ampli, mic/ DI dll? 3. Lu uda pernah belom ngerasain suasana main di tonton para guitarist2 hebat lainnya? 4. Ketika lu main trus di kata2in lu bisa trima nggak? 5. Kampungan lu

I like the fact that he isn't your typical shredder. He isn't perfectly playing 100 notes per minute. He isn't just running scales without end. Every note he plays has emotion in it. I'll take an emotional well thought out, meaningful solo over a boring perfect gunslinger any day. I enjoyed this.

love the notes and composition,its flying fingers and it sounds like sweet smooth flying up in the clouds.if paul gilbert says its good then its definitely good

2:56 may be he played a wrong note but bent it correctly.Hatts off for that brother

Very well written song, and awesome delivery. He has a unique technique and very lyrical style. I don't think he could hear the backing music properly, still he pulled it together really well.

Watched this twice. Love it!

Backingtracknya bisa di download gak ya? Adakah yg punya link nya?

gaya main nya emang ngebosenin, tapi touching nya bagus, power touch nya kena bgt (y)

LOVE your style. Not perfect, but I'll take your emotion over mindless speed any day. Your slurring reminds me of Vai a bit--you are not a clone or rip off artist, but I can hear the influence. GREAT JOB from the U. S. Guitar has no national boundaries.

Your attack on the fret board is amazing. Well done sir

I want to know the guitar model as i want to buy it can anyone please tell me which model is this guitar?

Lol anyone who's ripping on his lack of technical proficiency with complete unawareness of how complex (not "hard" to play, but complex) this composition is should really spend more time trying to listen to music from an unbiased perspective. Just for the record i want to agitate people with my next statement because it might help someone out. Imagine this guy continues to practice what he is doing for the same amount of time you are practicing running up and down the scales and becoming a proficient guitarist. You will be faster, you will make less mistakes, but try to compose a piece like this. Oh shit, you should have practiced that too. I can guarantee you the impact of a proficiently played piece comparable to that in this video will have a musical WOW factor that makes people physically react due to the complexity of emotions being conveyed. I mean if the guy in this video is already playing with more conviction than i've seen most average shredders ever develop. And he's maintained his own sound while developing skills like rhythmic subdivisions, harmonic intervals and a sense of virtuosity and touch unique to his hands and frame. So if anyone disagrees with this pick. Let me ask who you would rather be, this guy in 5 years, or an up and coming shredder in 5 years. Just imagine this piece without mistakes, it's fucking amazing kudos to him i hope he keeps doing what he's doing because it will be fucking amazing in a couple of years.

ini nih yang ngancurin mood guitarist, gitarnya bukan bawaan sendiri, soundnya ngga di set juga, jadinya ancur deh. kasihan masnya

Where can we listen to the complete version? He played really well and it sounds phenomenal.

Great play, i love the backing track too. What song is that?

yg komen negatif kebanyakan makan bumbu cireng pasti?!!! susah lo biar bisa gini bray,

1 member = 1 winner = 1 st Place )). Am I wrong??

mas adjie tolong di bikin baru lagi dong gila ini mah saya udah tonton berratus kali enak bgt sedih bgt sumpah ini soul kren bgt,penuh emosi,gila abis ,,plissssssssssssssss mas adjie tapi jangan ada yang di rubah di perpanjangt boleh

I just know that you are great, musically and technically mature... 👏🙏🏻

625AHM 😎

Style nya dhalif ali

Man this fella is playing really intense and tremendeus, you cant give ''the feeling'' just with hard work, it comes from inside, but without work you cant achieve anything too, this fella has both, most soulfull solo and correct technic, if someone would ask me

ini gitaris rock profesional, wajar jadi juara 1, pick, scale, sweep, bend, tap, musicnya rapi dan melodius

yang komen negatif, emang lu bisa?

He won, because he only 3 fingers.

Just love it. You're the best

The only issue with this video that its too short... Amazing melody and great skills

I don´t understand why guitarist having an amazing floyrose tremolo, don`t used it

Seperti nya gitar nya belum di setting sesuai karakter si master

Can anyone tell me whats the title of this backsound... please? ☺️

He's great! What is the title of this piece?

That ibanez not for him actually.give him yamaha,the neck is more comfort for asian guy

He is playing second song which has slow tempo. What's wrong? Look at his IFF entry and open your mind!! Please stop bullying him, find out more about him on the channel and instagram..

Where can i download this backing track ?

Whats the title of the song ?

Don't get me wrong.....he's ok....but not impressed. Too many mistakes.

Smells like polyphia

What pedal is he using? Is it overdrive?

Can anybody told me what kind of procedure i have to follow for joining this contest....i m guy frm india nd playing guitar for 4 years....nd i wanna know more about this contest ...If anybody know pls reply my coment guys...I really wanna know this

Maaf master. Ko' Sptinya ada yg kesrimpet2 fals ya..ato kuping saya aja yg slah gk peka...hehe

kayaknya bukan gitar pegangannya bro... gogi lah.. gw pernah ikutan ibanez competition buseng mending competisi band lah bs ngumpet dibalik pemain lain.. kalo solo live lo cobain dah pada...

What song is it he's playing? I think I recognize the melody, but I just can't put my finger on it. Sounds sorta Steve Vai inspired.

what is the model of his guitar? please!!

How did this guy win 1st place??? I don't get it. Are the judges smoking crack with earplugs in? He's not terrible but he's not very good either. I can find ten guys better than this at my local guitar center any given day.

flying fingers you should have won first place for hitting a shitload of wrong notes

Which ibanez guitar model he is playing?

skillful is not always the way to win,soulful is a more universal way to describe emotion

i never knew ricegum played guitar

cuma pentatonic dan speed aja... tone nya jg JS bgt... ga muncul karakter yg mau dijual

Selow mas ajie,dijadikan pengalaman~ hehe salut ! \m/

Asik solonya, keren abis apalagi kali tau baru dibuat 1 malam sblmnya.. sukses lanjut terus ya!

2:57 Your "1st Place Winner"...LMAO..

Not bad. But I think, there are missing techniques in his beautiful solo such as sweeping, string skipping, tapping and whammy bar. Overall, a talented guitar player.

Ok.....u guys are awesome...carry on...

Is anyone knows the backing track that used right now?

indonesia 😂 banyak komentar miring dibanding mendukung 😂 coba gih ikut yg kayak ginian.. syukur2 bisa 10besar 😂 viewer terbanyak juga kagak..

Wah juara 1 nya kok jd loyo gini... grogi kah ? Too many missed...Tpi ttp semangat broh...maklum di liatin Ama mastah2 yg lain disini...ibarat manggung di pelototin Ama Pevita Pearce ....wkwkwk...

Been listening to this gem for years... Anyone know of a cleaned up version?

uenak tenan .. soulfull .. feelnya kerasa banget,salut dan hebat si mas ini,btw,orang mana ya mas ini kalau boleh tau ?

Sweet that is the next guitar I'm getting

wow nice effort ....kip it up.... its complicated i know but you make it sound nice...good vibes

any tab exist for that solo?

I had the pleasure of playing this guitar at guitar center and let me tell you I played it through a ID10 from blackstar and this guitar rips and shreds phenomenally, amazing guitar and amp.... can't beat it for the money either or....bad ass!

What a beautiful guitar!!!!

Which track is this?

What backing track is this?

someone needs to tab this, great melodic composition

Anyone knows the name of the song backing track?

tetep joslah,,, ini kyaknya jam dadakan ya om,, Sound effect org lain yg stel ya, gitar berasa asing dijari, grogi + capek🤣, tapi tetep sweet,, 👏👏

Great job emotional shredding kept his cool in front of everyone real good job

Keren banget nih mas akbar 😍 Kita aja main live di IG atau FB udah salahnya fatal, kadang lupa, kadang jari berat banget 😂 padahal udah latihan dan fingerin yang cukup 😂 apalagi kalo main live terus diliatin sama temen2 gitaris yang luar biasa juga hebatnya 😍 pengen lagunya dijadiin 1 menit aja durasinya 😂

I just want to ask were we can get this piece of track

What is title of that instrumental

Its hard to compose like this...connecting all licks/ phrases/ feelings... Respect to this guy,,,Great Idea and feelings...Paul Gilbert choose d him ..Any question... just ask paul gilbert the master...Congrats...Keep on Composing bro.....

Está realmente incomodo, ojalá pongan un vídeo donde esté más suelto.
