He's definitely at that Stephan Taranto level (above normal human), but I prefer Baxty's use of major - extended arpeggios progressions. And he REALLY knows how to use altered modes and modal modulations/interchange... he's straight amazing at what he does.
Bastian Martinez and Ignacio Bazeres (who have actually done videos together) are like these absolute phenoms; must be something in the water over there in Chile. But IMO, they are the top players/pickers out there right now, and I think Baxty has the melodic edge, but holy smokes, they are just both so unreal.
You can tell he grew up worshipping Petrucci and DT (and who didn't?). The first clip sounds like the Erotomania middle section, the second like the Take the Time unison section
Right.. my thoughts exactly.. this dude definitely worshipped Petrucci like so many of us.. but you can REALLY hear it in his licks especially. Killer 🤘
There are 3 guitar players I saw who plays in this style. 1. Stephan Teranto 2. Baxty 3. Ignacio Bezares All 3 of them are absolutely incredible One thing I wana know about baxty is how is he making that unison kinda synth sound along with his guitar ???
Baxty and Stephen Taranto are top tier in terms of alternate picking, but I prefer Baxty bc he is more melodic, has great feeling in his bends+vibrato and can be more versatile/innovative, also he is representing us Chileans lol
I understand you want to position the guitar perpendicular to the video, but especially during the dialogues, which are the majority, it’s unnecessary and a bit distracting, making it harder to follow. 😅👌🏻 Amazing content, And amazing guitarist but I hope he make some more song not licks…

@@XenoTravisdid you know C Value Enigma wasn’t actually played? The notes were recorded individually and then edited into place. Morean freely acknowledged this and said the track was about the composition not the technicality of the playing.
Maybe its just me but I get zero rush out of watching these bedroom DI guitars players. There is nothing "cool" about it. Just robotic patterns. Play this on Yngwie's rig , then you have me.
These so-called shredders have nothing to offer-just soulless scale runs and arpeggios with zero emotion or melody. This guy’s no different. But Mateus Asato is leagues ahead-his playing is vibrant, something these players will never come close to.
You are comparing two different styles to communicate emotions. For example, I Respekt Mateus playing but his playing triggeres no real emotions in me. Emotions are an extreme subjective topic. We have to learn that. What I want to say is, what creates emotion in you, doesn‘t have to be the same for somebody else, and the other way around… And that is totally fine and totally cool :) For me, the playing of baxty has more „soul“ and „emotion“ than so many other players, like John Mayer or so. (Or Mateus) But that is my subjective opinion and feeling. I can totally understand when someone sees this differently. Important is now, to not put my standart onto other people, because I have no right how others should feel about something. And I hope here is a little mini lesson for you. Those comments leads to nothing and brings nothing. And I know, you can do better :)
@@justin.hombach Emotions are subjective, no doubt. But when a player consistently leaves millions speechless and inspires countless guitarists, that’s not just ‘subjective’ talent. It's impact. I respect your opinion on Baxty, but when someone like Mateus or Mayer brings nuance, emotion, and musicality to a level that transcends ‘styles,’ it’s more than just a personal preference. It’s mastery. Mateus speaks volumes through his playing-maybe the ‘mini lesson’ here is in learning to recognize it.
@@aynvaibhav9705 This particular comment section is the most gentlemanly banters I've ever seen when talking about shred/fast vs feel. Wish more people are like you two. Those technical playing definitely not gonna make you rich (sell less records, attract less listeners) for example : Gilmour&Santana vs Petrucci&Yngwie. I agre completely with you here. I also agree with Justin's opinion, just play what you like, like what you play.
"These so-called shredders..." which shredders? If you're lumping all shred guitarists into one basket, you don't understand shred. Sure scales and arpeggios in and of themselves aren't musical, but this idea "you have to slow down" to have "feel" is just ignorance.
The intervalic arpeggio player is very melodic.
He was my guitar teacher some time ago, amazing player and better person . I learned a couple of tricks from him but he is in another dimension.
Been following baxty for some years now I love his shred exercises
I would love to see that interview! Excellent playing and breakdown of those clips/techniques. Thank you

Yes, have him with you if you can. I would love to see it.
An interview with Baxty sounds badass🔥🔥🔥

Baxty is just ridiculously tight and clean. I remember the first video i saw of his i was like 😳 the entire time.
There are 3 guitar players I saw who plays in this style.
1. Stephan Teranto
2. Baxty
3. Ignacio Bezares
All 3 of them are absolutely incredible
One thing I wana know about baxty is how is he making that unison kinda synth sound along with his guitar ???
Having insane economy of motion in your left hand like Roy Marchbank helps a ton and is really good for building dexterity.
Baxty and Stephen Taranto are top tier in terms of alternate picking, but I prefer Baxty bc he is more melodic, has great feeling in his bends+vibrato and can be more versatile/innovative, also he is representing us Chileans lol
anton still king
That pinky finger's motions on the frethhand are something else...
Who Baxty? Yeah he’s INSANE
It'd be a nice gesture to link to his channels in the top of your description so we can find him more easily!
Hell yeah, another Jazz-Student from the FMW, who found his way back on the narrow path of shred!
What? 😂
The shred was always in my heart

I think you’re just suffering from a double digit IQ
I wonder what you would think if my playing if you could count the number I use.
Baxty is the man
Okay but can he play Sweet Georgia Brown?
yes baxty is a god
I'm proud to share nationality with this guy, he's sick
Justin, herrje....jetzt bekommst du auch graue Haare. Willkommen im Klub! Gruß.
Finde ich aber Mega :D
@@justin.hombach Ja, das hat was! Neuerdings grüßen mich die Hells Angels ohne Bike auf dem Bürgersteig. Montag - Sydney - Der Bart hält! Drei Wetter Taft!
:)
Baxty is good, but Lawrence Miller is next level.
Well… he wins the contest of most ugly guitar 😂😂 But yeah, great guy for sure
What about the dude with an afro and weird glasses? Isn't he young? I know he is stupidly good
Also vote yes to learning hybrid picking.
Max Ostro? Yeeesss... He is also one of the next Generation that is killing it :D
@@justin.hombachMAX! Yes! You gotta admit his little solo for kiesel was insanely impressive. Like he was about to play c value Enigma lol
You mean Justin 😉
@@TheGazza83well not every young dude is worth being in alkaloid

John Petrucci isn't that good
