This song(15 years later) still has kick ass technique and skills I've yet to see even famous musicians perform. Just outstanding. I'll keep listening through the next 50 years still.
He's brazilian and japanese according to his name, since brazil has welcomed the largest immigrated population from Japan Why accrediting this to a nation tho, pretty sure he learnt a lot from tons tabs made by various guitarists from various countries
I've been watching this guy for over 10 years ago, and nothing up to date has come close to this. I still keep remembering and watching this video. So much technique, energy, and feel put into it... Perfect track this is.
Back in 2008 this video was one of the most watched guitar solo videos on TH-cam, together with Canon Rock by JerryC and Andy Mckee's Drifting. Amazing times.
It's amazing how some people can simply be such a loser like that by saying he's fake! I've know this guy since I was 17.... way back to 1994 (he started taking guitar lessons in 1990), although we are not in touch nowadays. I remember he used to play all day long. In fact, his mom always brought his meals to his room and he put the guitar aside, right on one of his legs and the plate of food on another one. He wont't drop his guitar even for 1 sec, while I tried to set his old computer in order for us to play Need for Speed (the very first) and Full Throttle. He watched me playing after all. Good times! He simply rocks and still he is one of the most modest guy I know. Eat your hearts out, losers! this guy is a true genius!
It's 2020 and I still keep coming back to this video. Damn this is when YT was good and filled with nice original content. I really hope this guy is successful with his music making.
Greg White I first saw this soon after it was posted. I think of it occasionally still and here I am. I have always been impressed by the wide variety of techniques in use. Each one requires time and discipline to master. Still impressed over a decade later
I found this in my old accounts favorites playlist and wondered why i would even favorite something like this, only to uncover a memory i didnt even realize i had
First time seeing it in June 2020. This is just brilliant. I haven't played in 10 or so years, but this makes me want my old purple sparkly Epiphone LP back. Not that I could ever play even a 20th of this, but it's inspiring, man.
2024 and this is still the best solo I’ve ever seen and heard. I saw this when it was uploaded many years ago and it’s just so damn impressive. It just sings so perfectly. How can you not be in awe.
I haven't seen this in such a long time. Just as great as I remembered! And think alot of people who showcase their talents on TH-cam are prepared for the legions of 13 year old trolls. He knows he's great and the thirty or so negative comments I just read through are so ridiculous, I don't think a single one would make him pause and get upset. Side note, these comments are actually much better than they used to be. I guess trolls are finding it harder to be heard
2:29 to 2:51 is too much for me ... and immediately followed by the coolest finale in 50 years he will be teaching angels how to shred and throwing their harps away
+ThePoetech oops and yes, I'd bet he could I saw Dragonforce live 10ish years ago and they were making mistakes soooo many mistakes I think I read somewhere that they would get drunk before shows
God, I miss the old TH-cam days. Content was raw and meant something. Nowadays the algorithm wants your soul, most channels are clickbait and shamelessly relentless ad-marketing.
Boku Shiranai I had my account from 7 years ago. I had my old email. I really wanted to set it back up again so I can show off to everyone that I have a 7 year old account.. but + shattered all my dreams :(. It just transformed into Google plus with the creation day :Today.
First time seeing this. I read the vid title, and was like: "Yeah right, this had better be Insane". Clicked the play button and then.... all smiles. Truly insane!
Glad to see that sooo many years later i can google "amazing guitar solo" and this still comes up, and the first hit btw... You are the man! Thank you sir.
Ten years later and I still get chills and goosebumps. I love you!!! I would love to hear something recent!!!! Even if not fast. I love your feel!! Maybe this was your masterpiece =)
Definitely an unforgettable solo I watched it like 12 years ago for the first time and have continued to come back to it time and time again. He is a Badass
I been listening to this for years. Probably one of the most unique style I have ever heard and I can name more shred guitarest then I can family and friends. Thanks for giving this to us
Fuccc. The first riff awakened so many memories I forgot I had. Looking at the timestamp, He was definitely an inspiration for me to get into guitar. It's mindblowing that I can actually rewatch this and decipher what he's doing rather than staring in awe. Yup, he's still great.
This is the first time I've seen this video in over a decade and it's even more impressive now than it was back then. A touch Noodly in parts but well composed and perfectly executed. That two-handed tapping bit is brilliant.
I watched this as a kid, thinking I would never be this good. I played for hours on end everyday, nonstop. I am glad to say that, I still can't play any of that shit- this dude is a monster among monsters. This will always be my favorite guitar solo of all time.
I remember giving this video 5 stars back in the days. Still watching his solos several times a year and I'm pretty sure my jaw is never gonna stop dropping. What a talent!!!!!
This is one of the most legendary shreds ever. I listen to this like once a year, and I remember like 40-50% of it. I can listen to other shreds like 50 times and not remember anything the person played 2 minutes later.
This is one of the first guitar videos I ever saw on TH-cam along with funtwo. I watched them in the same night and was forever changed. I started wanting to take shred guitar seriously. I couldn’t even comprehend the notes and finger placement. Didn’t think it was real. 13 years later and I totally get it now. Crazy how your mind can progress
all the jealous people say about him on youtube pisses me off. "He's fake!" "He's fat!" "He doesn't have a life!" This guy is gifted and some people just can't handle it.
This is me first time watching it. And I must admit I'm beyond impressed what I've just witnessed. The combination of perfect timing, the emotion behind those licks, various techniques, the clarity of tones not to mention the well handled harmonic orientatation. There might be a bit of a freestyle but still, for me this is something like current peak of perfection in terms of knowledge and muscle memory. And this is what I find beautiful about life.. there are so many things to learn that you won't be bored for rest of your life if you do realise.
And still the baddest man to upload a guitar video since TH-cam began!! For all you youngsters the players for polyphia where probably 11 when this man was already a master and still an unknown man. So happy I saw this again nearly 15 yrs later
It's 2021 guys. And this solo is still gold.
Fuck no this shit is platinum son
Can't believe this is still going, love this solo. 16m views as of 2021. Well done lad
Glad i found it. Stayed in my mind since day i see heard it first.
Yea ! I was like ... wow 15 years and I still love it !
One of the first videos I ever watched on TH-cam. This vid will never die
this guy is done learning guitar, the guitar is now learning him
Ok John, you’ve figured me out. Now it is time for me to do the same.
This comment makes me giggle every time
😅facts
He used every single technic ever created for guitars. I'm simply in shock
I don't see no fretted harmonics
No sLaP! 👋
Me too and I've played ummm 40 yrs?
I saw this 17 years ago! And it’s still one of the top fire solos I’ve ever heard. 🔥🔥🔥 and it’s 2023 lol
Check him out on Jared Dines Shred Collab for this year
@@SKATVonD420 Just saw it. He wasn't there. Are you sure it wasn't another video?

+anthemlog me too!!! the guy is sooo good that they thought he had a cheat code for guitar playing or something
Hahaha yes
i'd say its a one shot recording (probably one of many tries), which makes it even better.
the guitar went slightly out of tune during playing i think that wouldnt happen when recording in sections.

I've been watching this since it came out and I still come back to it. So good.
Seriously
100%
Legit
I've watched this countless times in the past 13 years. This is probably my favorite guitar solo ever. I consider this virtually untouchable.
Definitely a favorite
Yeah this is otherworldly. Such a catchy rhythm theme, too.
Me too found this when I played guitar hero 3
This song(15 years later) still has kick ass technique and skills I've yet to see even famous musicians perform. Just outstanding. I'll keep listening through the next 50 years still.
You apparently don't listen to metal and more extreme genres of music...
Go on then. What techniques in this video are unique and don't famous musicians use. I want specifics.

What did you have in mind?

Your comment made me burst out laughing!!! That was so good lol!!!!!!!

I bet he can't play enter sandman though;)
The real question is:
Can he play smoke on the water...

Finally found this video again! I've been looking for this for AGES!!!!
17 years later and still GOAT.
I remember i watch this video when the internet has only 512kbps speed.
I remember giving this video 5 stars back in the days. Still watching his solos several times a year and I'm pretty sure my jaw is never gonna stop dropping. What a talent!!!!!
This is one of the most legendary shreds ever. I listen to this like once a year, and I remember like 40-50% of it. I can listen to other shreds like 50 times and not remember anything the person played 2 minutes later.
2022 and still amazing. I lost track of how many techniques this guy used. Insane
Can't believe this just got recommended to me again in 2024. Still awesome!
Still 12 years later in absolute amazeness over this dudes talent. But then Mr Miyata is a professor of music and well earned of that for that matter.

one of the best performances I've heard on a solo instrument. this still knocks.
Awesome solo. Reminds me a lot of Buckethead when he's doing improv live
i said this 7 years ago, and i'll say it again.
2:12 where did he learn THAT
+ghee4345 Probably Stanley Jordan or Chris Broderick. That's where I learned it. It's a difficult technique to truly master, so props to this guy.
tapping with both hands. its just doing the same thing in a different octave in two places at the same time. practice and learn.
