Born from 80's hair metal insanity, and the minds of Michael Angelo Batio, Jim Gillette, and Wayne Charvel... the Rocket Guitar, both the Ritz branded originals and the Dean Guitars re-issues, are unbelievable. Is this the most insane production guitar every made? I think so. Let's take a closer look.

Love MAB. We interviewed him (and you as well, Max) on The Practical Guitarist. What a gregarious, genuine, and funny dude. He is truly someone you can go out, have a beer with, then get on stage and hammer the audience. Great interview, great video. Thanks.

@Gene_Cali 2 года назад

This video had me smiling like a person standing in line before a Concert. Awesome to see Max on the "Aircraft" Rocket Guitar, playing some shred and Metal licks. Mabs is a inspiration to many musicians for good reason, his devotion to study and kindness to others is sincere. Thanks Max, for this demo and Interview. \m/. Keys to the Lambo begin here: Speed Kills by Michael Angelo Batio.

This interview is incredible!! I love how enthusiastic he is here, talking about everything that went into building this guitar!! I just dropped a new, inexpensive Floyd Rose into my Ibanez RG 7620 (late 90's), and it made my heart leap to hear MAB bring up 7-string guitars.

@ChronicMetamorphosis 2 года назад

MAB is such a good dude. I think he is one of the best electric guitarists of our time. He not only understands the heart of rock n roll, but also understands the soul behind classical music. As someone who grew up in classical music, I can tell you that everytime MAB talks about classical music, he has been on point and has a good perspective. He knows his shit and doesn't talk out of his ass. It's a rarity to have someone who knows classical music, but also knows the ins and outs of the heavy metal industry from back then. He's literally the best of both worlds. I'm really lucky to learn from him, and I own all of his line from Sawtooth. They're excellent guitars.

@Barnabus007 2 года назад

@@pjstamm2112 I'm sure it is possible. I don't want to sound like some expert or anything ( i am intermediate as well) , and I'm sure you know this, but take it slowish. I pretty much always alternate pick spent hundreds maybe thousands of hours doing it so for me it is the exact opposite issue. I jut bought a Dan Mumm course a couple weeks back..between that truefire, and my own little practice stuff it is about to get intimidating lol...not my playing ...the instruction.

@pjstamm2112 2 года назад

@@Barnabus007 Yep, I get it! I learned a lot of picking technique from Eric Johnson's videos and what MAB does is nothing like it. So it's really tough to unlearn what I've been doing for the past 20 years! 🤣 But, yes, start slow and gradually pick up the pace. Using a metronome is of paramount importance for every style but especially for this kind of stuff.

Weirdly enough I just went on a spree of finding viewing and downloading speed kills 1 2 and 3 trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can from them and upon first viewing speed kills 1 went looking for one of these Rockets but couldn't find one. I can't believe the Dean replica was less than $1,000 when they made it and wish I knew about it ten years ago when it was still in production

@Ayyem93 2 года назад

Correction, wish I was aware of this guitar so I could've been on alert for a production run. Then again in 2014 I was blowing every bit of money I touched on heroin so probably wouldn't have gotten one. Don't do drugs kids. Ever. Drugs are 1,000,000,000,000-0 against people.

In my opinion, Michael Angelo Batio is overrated. His playing is robotic. No passion. Nothing. He's fast, but Paul Gilbert seems faster to me. But Paul plays with passion. There's emotion in his playing. Batio? Not so much. Max, you're a much better guitar player than Batio is. Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

@59thfsaviation79 2 года назад

Cool story about MAB. He showed up to play a haunted house in Wythville VA. It was about 50 degrees that night. He was standing outside, short sleeve shirt, and just warming up. So I approach him just to say high and thank him for coming. He was so enthusiastic. He said "this is going to be great!". There was 23 people outside watching him. I got to stand right in front of him. He played his guts out. Told stories. He treated us like he was in Madison square garden. He just loves music and people.

So Jim helped design the guitar in between beating up Lita Ford? I played some shows with Michael Angelo at the Troubadour in 1987, I was the guitarist in my band Trick Or Treat, and I played as fast as I could , and Charvel built my first custom guitar . Michael is actually a nice guy, but Nitro.....that to me was the end of the 80s ,it took everything too far! Oh well , it was cool, the scene in Hollywood and what came out of it, still was cool.

Dean made good affordable guitars 10 to 15 years ago. MAB has always seemed very humble especially considering his insane chops. I remember seeing ads for his instructional videos in guitar magazines in the 90s . I never got into the instrumental guitar gods Vai, Satch, type players . They are amazing just not my thing. I need to check out Nitro every interview I’ve seen with MAB he is enthusiastic and friendly. I saw a project he did with a guy designing a camera mount to capture his picking technique. Like most of the legendary players Batio when asked how do you play so fast said “like this” and scorched the neck . The guy said what technique? MAB said that he didn’t know he just did it. The guy put a camera on the neck and slowed down the footage to break down his picking motion. Pick slanting, escape, and economic motion of the right hand. Pretty incredible to watch in slow motion the fluid accuracy of his picking technique. No wasted motion in the man’s right hand.
