Very underrated guitarist.. surely one of the most skilled and technical guitarist but also very melodic and emotional. Sweeps here are immaculate. I also hold guitar that high when I play standing.. love it! ♡♡♡
Thank you mate, as with all of my videos I'm simply recording the performance, I know some guys like to mime to a prerecorded track but none of my videos do this so you can feel confident my fingers are in the right place.. 😂 All the best, thanks for watching and happy learning 🤘
Alex, as a long time player and admirer of your playing, you never disappoint. But this is next level right here. Thank you for showing us how to put passion and soul into this type of playing. Great job-your friend Rich from Florida
Hey Scali, funny you should say that I just did a Benson style video... th-cam.com/video/kcii542EmPU/w-d-xo.html I've always loved his great playing and musicianship. ;-)
Good morning my friend! Love the Gem. Love the title of the video also! Have a great weekend coming! The playing was exquisite as always. Cheers 🍻 Alex
Every video you release just leaves my jaw dropped on the floor. Wow. WOW!! Such technical perfection on display, always, even while you're playing close to the speed of light. LOL
Very happy to see you placed Vinnie Moore ahead of Yngwie... I also rank Vinnie higher, but it is certainly no knock on Malmsteen... I just feel Vinnie never got enough credit for his work over the years compared to the adoration and adulation showered on Yngwie... Vinnie's "To The Core" is hardly neo-classical at all, its much more in a fusion vein than classical... over the years Vinnie expanded his repertoire while Yngwie has never stepped outside the neo-classical for an instant. Again, neither player's approach is right nor wrong, they followed their hearts. Vinnie's neo-classical shredding at the beginning of his catalog is astounding but I much prefer his more recent works from Meltdown album forward. To The Core is probably my fave, just a killer CD from start to finish.
@@asb3pe - Nobody was playing like Yngwie 38 years ago. His picking, tone, vibrato, and overall technique was by far the best. When Yngwie hit the scene in 1983 he took them all out, no one could touch him. His vibrato and technique was unmatched. Here's what Slash and Steve Vai said about Yngwie. Slash: Yngwie literally blew my mind when he came on the LA music scene in the early 80's. the fastest & most articulate, fluid, melodic, classical based rock guitarist I'd ever heard. Still the best at what he does all these years later. Steve Vai: When Yngwie Malmsteen hit the scene in the early 80's it was as if a monolith appeared. He was playing electric rock guitar in a way that seemed completely unearthly and had to be seen to be believed. His tone was pristine and powerful, his vibrato, intonation and control was stunning, His harmonic and melodic sensibilities were unique, his emotional investment in his melodies was captivating, and his sheer speed and technical command of the instrument was utterly breathtaking to the point of frightening for some. He absolutely set a standard of virtuosity on the instrument that has yet to be matched. He was a breath of visceral fresh air that inspired the movement of a whole new subculture of music. He was always unequivocally and unquestionably dedicated to his passions and delivered without any excuses. And since then, the bastard has just been getting better! Vinnie is great, but Yngwie is the king!
@Spectacular Spectacular You can make the argument that Becker was better but he definitely didn’t come first or change the the way people played like Yngwie did.
Hi, Alex. I keep checking in for Episode 10, by the way. Fantastic arpeggios and runs here for sure, but believe it or not, I'm still able to hear your personal finger tone/sound, which sounds great too. 👍 Now, I think I'm a little older than you are, so in your video from 0:54 to 1:08 , I'm hearing a very strong Randi Rhodes vibe. Listen to it again, mindful of the changes in the backing track especially, and let me know what you think. 😊
Hey man, yeah thanks for checking in, don't worry it is on the way, as I said in the last one I've had some other work as well as been a little unwell for a week. I don't want to rush it for no reason and do it when it feels good and I have time to do it properly.... 👍🙏 Regarding the Randi Rhodes influence well I wouldn't say that he directly influenced me but of course I've listened to Ozzy over the years so some could have rubbed off on me with out me noticing... 🤣 I'm glad you're still enjoying the videos and I look forward to presenting episode 10 soon... All the very best 👍🙏🎸
Wow!!!!! Another great performance even though very short. . You would have been the STAR* In a band like SKY. I would love to hear a version of Toccatta in your style.
Yeeeeessssssss...That is the shizz!!!! Love this love it all ...Mate that us a perfect start to the day for me, waking up to a notification😍🔥those first arps are worth learning🕺🏼🎼thanks so much just for being u
I must of missed this video ... Absolutely Brilliant ! Your execution is amazing, every note crystal clear ...im learning little snippets off you, by watching, and listening ... Hope to catch you 'live' someday !
@@mitchellrice1107 Hey Mitchall, I wouldn't say it was a huge influence, only because growing up i was less aware of him. But his playing with Paco de Lucia and John Mclaughlin certainly did have an influence..... Well spotted mate. 👍
If you could transfer this playing to your house it would be clean forever.
Great comment.
dead🤣
Hahhah 🤣😂 now that would be super useful...
SHRED ALL THE THINGS !!
This playing seriously makes me want to beat myself over the head with my guitar and quit. Good God! So good
I have a similar composition that I recorded.
It’s appropriately titled “Arpeggios that sound like hell.” 😂😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂 Brilliant... I'm sure they were great.... Cheers mate. 👍
Hahaha nice one 🙂
Arpeggios from Heaven....haha...GREAT.
😅😅 Fantastic comment.
Yngwie and Vinnie Moore came to my head.... sounds awesome.
Two amazing players... Both very inspirational... Thanks so much. 👍🙏🎸
This gentleman makes any guitar style sound pleasant.
Thank you so much sir. 👍
I'm convinced that every guitarist that has their strap set at chest level is a shred master
Thank you Mattitude. All the best 👍
It helps!

Thanks for the video. I love this format, one camera angle, playing matching the audio, you can really watch and learn.

This super-fast clean sweep-picking gives off some George Bellas vibes.
