Romeo is truly an underrated guitarist. People that think he is just a another Yngwie copycat are completely ignorant. He has a tone and sound that is completely his own.
Conny Berg Michael Romeo is better than yngwie , ppl call him a clone but he can play stuff that I bet yngwie couldn’t, he doesn’t only sticks to neoclassical he can do a lot more
@@busu666 Yngwie does not only play neoclassical. He also plays (and adores) classical and also plays awesome blues. I really don't think there is anything Yngwie can't play
@@busu666 Well, I Will actually give you a point tho, because there is one thing Romeo can do and Yngwie can't and that is to play SLOW when he says so! Yngwie is incapable of doing that in his tutorials
Classical guitar fingering basics do that to you man. It makes your movement very precise and economic, that's why I started my classical guitar journey after dodged it for years
Michael Romeo is God on guitar. I've been listening to Symphony for more than 20 years. He is a true guitar legend and an inspiration for everyone with his unique way of playing.
Super technical music theory executed with the highest precision, efficiency, and accuracy a human can do. That is exactly what this unmatched musician does…
What blows my mind about this guy is how he didn't start guitar really early on, and didn't even go to any music school (not for too long anyway) and yet he's still among the greatest; both technically and musically
this is because school cannot make u play better only u can make yourself play better through lots of practice music school is great for theory imo and learning about different i fluences of music nd genre
Game Freak I don't know, I seem to have started at around the same age, and always figured well, most players who play better than me have started guitar early on in their lives; and they have learned music theory in music schools. Kinda shuts my mouth about making excuses for my mediocrity
It's not when you start playing that matters but how you practice. An intelligent goal oriented practice session is more important and it helps if you have a great teacher that will criticize your technique and show you how to practice correctly! It is also important to be self-critical and analyze the details of your technique!
Symphony X is one of the concert circuits best live acts. Allen Russell is a superb front man. Great vocal abilities. SX is tight and just about flawless. Michael Romeo is not only technically proficient, but more importantly, has deep artistic intuition. He's toured the world several times over. Much respect for Michael and Symphony X. Can't wait for the next CD. Even better, DVD. Continued prosperity to a fantastic American icon.
I saw them live a while back and I definitely agree, they are incredible. I even got a chance to talk to Mike, Russell, and Mike Lepond after the show, and they're some the coolest guys I've ever met. I only wish I could have met Mike P and Jason too.
Michael Romeo is absolutely amazing... IMO, probably the best METAL guitarist ever, and I can't stand 'best' labels. Yngwie may have been there first with the neo-classical shredding (actually Uli Roth) but Romeo takes it to a whole other level that's WAY more musical and sophisticated, and he's a great writer. Those that make fun of him are NOT funny... Let's see your talented video, smart ass.
Agreed. His approach is so musical yet very technical as well. As for the fat jokes like "Sea of Fries" "Romeo is Yngwie that eats Batio" etc, I think just chill and ignore em man, not all of them really meant it like they hate him, just an immature teasing joke, let em be. And about those who hate or jealous and make fun of Romeo, it just shows how good Michael truly are 🤘
Michael Romeo is on the absolute top level as a guitar player. And... he is a great composer and arranger. And... he has his own style and tone. As advanced as Tony MacAlpine, Jason Becker and Ethan Brosh.
Dude yeah...after each trip I just keep coming back to this, and the man is simply spot on he really is... Note-for-note flawless, at least so far as I can tell...
This is literally one of the most useful guitar instructional videos I’ve stumbled upon. I love how everything is broken down to mostly small portions of licks but have a great application into your own arsenal of playing. Will defiantly be using this for the remainder of the year to working on my playing!
He is at the top of proficiency in muscle and scale training. There is virtually nothing currently in the music books that he can't crack if he doesn't already know. He is very dedicated to music and guitar, to the outer limit. The perfect mental attitude to master, and sailing out into the ocean of guitar.
the fingering and musicality of the notes he plays is something out of the ordinary. The tremolo and sustain of his notes are perfect...for me Michael Romeo is the successor to what Blackmore and Yngwie started.
If Malmsteen and Shawn Lane were both the dad, this is the kid they'd have. haha he even looks like a combo of them. Machine gun picking and crazy limber left hand. damn it. Lucky genetics.
***** another comment totally misunderstood. But then I guess you get enough people reading something, SOMEONE is going to come back with a strawman response.
Believe it or not, Michael Romeo today is even better than the guy you're witnessing here. More musical, more melodic, and every bit of the chops is still there.
Suddenly, I feel like i'm 12 again playing wolfenstein 3d as a change of pace from a 6 hour session of nintendo... ... the whole time listening to guitar shredding and dreading going to school the next day. Life was better then.
Micheal just got into my book of favorite guitarists, after watching a Reaction video of Symphony-X, I became a huge fan!!! On a TH-cam show called The Daily Doug!!! I had heard of him for years but never gave him a listen to like I should have, talk about regrets, this man is absolutely a monster guitarist, I will be listening and learning from him from here on out!!
who cares about his weight? awesome, amazingly talented guitarist and songwriter, pretty overlooked and underrated for the most part. guy smokes most other players
I know people like to talk about how much you practice and how you practice, but there are also genetics involved and it’s ignored for the most part (teachers don’t want to admit that for obvious reasons, and we don’t want to admit it because it means we’ll never be as good as we want). Michael Romeo was just a kid still here and he already was better than I would be if I had 200 years to play. This is a combination of very rare genetics and a high level of dedication, but the genetics are the bigger factor IMO.
Michael Oreo rocks, this guy is pound for pound, one of the best players in heavy rock today. He feeds off a steady diet of tasty licks and a thick, fat and juicy distorted tone, mixed into a delicious stew of arpeggios and slick, greasy runs. He leaves nothing on the table, and making you want to come back for a second helping of the feast for your ears.
My youth in this video! This was gold at that time, no TH-camrs to teach you all tricks like today. Thanks Michael, you helped me a lot, but i still suck 😅❤️
This is great! Favorite parts: Tapping Arps 34:08, 35:22, 37:31. 6:33, 20:43, 23:48 all remind me of some of the things Shawn Lane used to do! Wild! 25:02 reminds me of the classical stuff Paul Gilbert does and 35:05 is Tony MacAlpine level stuff. Awesome!
It does, especially the first one - One example is "Get You Back" by Shawn Lane. Shawn would play it all with just his left hand though and extend to notes with slides. Which makes it insane. Even Romeos string skipping diminished runs Shawn would all play with his left hand. However, tapping does give a different sound.
I got to see Shawn Lane live with the Temporal Analouges of Paradise (Jeff Sipe on drums and Jonas Hellborg on bass) back in the mid 90's. Shawn was incredible.
Totally agree! To both that he's one of the best and also that he's underrated. Him and Petrucci. They sooooooo need to work together someday on some project!!!!!!!!!!
I`ve been a huge fan of this guy since 97, and still his ability is just utterly amazing. Trying to play his stuff is incredibly hard, close to Shawn Lane. I just love his work. But what I really love about this video is actually the outro song!
Who would've thought one of the greatest players out there would be from Jersey xD KUDOS to this god, may he live long years to come and continue liberating us eager students.
Probably one of the only a few original guitarists who do new things and different styles of shredding. You can tell its a Romeo solo just by hearing how different it sounds. Michael Pinnella must love challenging him on the keys
Everything about this masterclass is perfect. He's really skilled. It's like Yngwie but with a lot more knowledge from other classical periods and progressive jazz stuff. I feel sad in the ending. Haha
shawn lane is probably the fastest guitarist i ever heard with feel also , he lived in memphis tn near me and was a MONSTER at 10 years old on the guitar. He was nice dude that took time to treat every1 with respect. Shawn passed away due to health probs , shawns weight went up and down all the time.
ShaneEllison Dude...just because Yngwie did the "classical thing" first doesn't make him any good, he's very EXTRAVAGANT and loves to show off, that doesn't make him good, if anything the opposite. His technique is very linear and repetitive, whereas Michael's is far more extensive and multi-faceted, as is his tone, Yngwie couldn't DREAM of being as creative as Michael no matter how hard he tried.
Spjungen gotta go with you man! yngwie is great and its just a matter of personal preferance....but, im a prog metal guy. Mr Romeo has taken what he did and expanded it. HE can do whatever Malmsteen did and more. Plus, in terms of creating music, no comparison. I may be biased cause symphony x is the ultimate for me! Enjoy what you like....its just opinions!
ShaneEllison I gotta go with Spjungen on this one. Who came first, is completely irrelevant when comparing playing ability. I thoroughly enjoy the music of both Yngwie (his early stuff only) and Michael. But simply put, Michael can play EVERYTHING Yngwie can. I can't say the same the other way around. Yngwie's tapping and arpeggio sequences are very elementary when compared to Michael's.
Spjungen Claims Yngwie isn’t creative despite previously admitting that Yngwie basically pioneered an entire genre that has become extremely popular. And he did all that in his teens. Saying Malmsteen isn’t creative just shows how delusional you are. One of the most important guitarists in history. Gtfo
amazing. Im going to study this tutorial religiously. I think the most important part is to learn how he keeps his fingers so close to the fretboard and how he manages to pick so efficiently and to coordinate both hands.
Michael Romeo is a CRIMINALLY underrated guitar player.

not only that but he is on another level technically that yngwie will never reach

"That's one of the things you could do"
No Michael....that's one of the things YOU can do
Nah man, you can do it too
The emphasis is on 'could' 😄
We could if we practiced our asses off. Maybe.
lol
This is 20 years old now...i'm still loving Symphony X.
Hard to imagine.
It's insulting how easy he makes it look :) What a legend!

Romeo is one one of the best ever..those who really know inside guitar excellence knows this.!
This video is legendary. I like how he relaxed he looks regardless of challenge.
That's also why he's a so talented artist 👍☝️👌💪
Super technical music theory executed with the highest precision, efficiency, and accuracy a human can do. That is exactly what this unmatched musician does…
Amazing player,composer...and creator of the best prog band on the planet !
U got that right bro
john petrucci, tony banks and geddy lee would like to know your location
@@ryanbazail I dont really know much about prog but this guy has definitely more feeling and sounds better(to me) than petrucci
MICHAEL ROMEO YOU ARE A MASTER.
Damn, Michael Romeo is underrated. Some seriously good technique here and he makes it look so effortless.
Michael Romeo is one of the few after the 80s who really impressed me...tho he’s been around for years now

You had to import this from Japan back when it was released. Bless you Japan, Romeo deserves lots of respect.
Such an amazing guitarist. Technical brilliance, and smooth flowing phrases. Definitely underrated!
Michael Romeo an incredible guitarist, unmistakable sound ....
he is amazing and perfect...and at the same time a very humble guitarist ❤👍🏆

This is a real ear catcher! tho all those who wasted time on the fat comments, where's your video.... thought so.
Exactly
facts
He is at the top of proficiency in muscle and scale training. There is virtually nothing currently in the music books that he can't crack if he doesn't already know. He is very dedicated to music and guitar, to the outer limit. The perfect mental attitude to master, and sailing out into the ocean of guitar.
his smile when playing sea of lies at slow tempo is so scary, that's as scary as his technique
the fingering and musicality of the notes he plays is something out of the ordinary. The tremolo and sustain of his notes are perfect...for me Michael Romeo is the successor to what Blackmore and Yngwie started.
Always loved this video!! Mike has such exquisite phrasing and tone. Definitely one of the best progressive players in my book!
If Malmsteen and Shawn Lane were both the dad, this is the kid they'd have. haha he even looks like a combo of them. Machine gun picking and crazy limber left hand. damn it. Lucky genetics.
genetics or....working your fucking ass off! most people dont have the dedication or discipline
***** another comment totally misunderstood. But then I guess you get enough people reading something, SOMEONE is going to come back with a strawman response.
oh it was a joke on the dad thing yeah I get it
HAHAHAHA
My god, you are exactly right! Shawn Lane and Yngwie's love child...wow
Believe it or not, Michael Romeo today is even better than the guy you're witnessing here. More musical, more melodic, and every bit of the chops is still there.

youre a legend!
This guy is insane. Reminds me of Shawn Lane
@R_ Reveley I think it's just cuz he looks like Shawn Lane and plays gud
Either way he's a phenomenal player.
ANKIT AMAR KASHYAP Damn bro chill
@Fred Virtuoso I don't know how is he a clone to engviw
This guy is more fluid than a wet thigh and more tighter than the pants holding em
Fred Virtuoso yngwie will never be half as good as Romeo

The "Out Of The Ashes" main solo at 30:37 has a section that sounds influenced by JS Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
Have you listened to Baroque and Roll by Malmsteen?
Those whole tones. So proud that he is into them
who cares about his weight? awesome, amazingly talented guitarist and songwriter, pretty overlooked and underrated for the most part. guy smokes most other players

Around 11 minutes he talks a bit about himself and his influences, and he does mention Yngwie. The dude is a badass on the guitar.
Michael is one of my favorite guitarists, he is beyond epic
I absolutely nail it then he says the killer line, 'now up to speed'.
AWESOME ! 45 minutes of Romeo, just for our ears ! thank you man !!
This guy is a legend
This guy is a really good teacher, I know very little about guitar techniques, just a few chords here and there ...he explains himself so clearly.
this mans fingers, literally, defy science.
i love his fingering style and his tapping so much......I Always Love You Michael
This is great! Favorite parts: Tapping Arps 34:08, 35:22, 37:31. 6:33, 20:43, 23:48 all remind me of some of the things Shawn Lane used to do! Wild! 25:02 reminds me of the classical stuff Paul Gilbert does and 35:05 is Tony MacAlpine level stuff. Awesome!

One of the mosters of guitar all of time. The neoclassic master.
I got to see Shawn Lane live with the Temporal Analouges of Paradise (Jeff Sipe on drums and Jonas Hellborg on bass) back in the mid 90's. Shawn was incredible.
theyre brothers
Yeah but this is about Micheal not Shawn.
Amazing licks and extremley unique style, this "dark sound" of playing is my fav. He might be my new fav guitarist.
Didn't learn anything from this but man Michael is such an amazing player
Michael brings a lot of clarity & new ideas to of us who want to continue to aspire ti great heights. In addition, he's very informative. Hot stuff!
Totally agree! To both that he's one of the best and also that he's underrated. Him and Petrucci. They sooooooo need to work together someday on some project!!!!!!!!!!
In all honesty I have never heard of this guy. Damn sure glad I stumbled on it. He’s amazing!
"A little faster" - lol
lol i know right, a little faster means 10x faster
Always great to hear Michael play. He’s a top of the line player!.
Really liked this video! All the best!!
I put this on x2 speed because I was looking for a particular part and my mind exploded.

looking at this guy since few years, far superiour in any ways than any neo-classical or even normal shredders. and guy is just amazing live
This dude is at the height of his powers here …. He so underrated its sad.
YEEEEESSSS!!!Mr.Romeo,thank you so much!
Hi, just to say that you make me think of Yngwie Malmsteen, but without the arrogance.
Kudos for being humble! :)
@Freddie Hankins
This is a very arrogant statement! 😂 (just kidding)
@Freddie Hankins 😉
EX 21 is one of the most beautiful neoclassical pieces I have ever seen
is he sitting in a dark castle?
+master chief lol Upside down symphony of the night's castle
+Bruttar
Hell yeah. You need the special glasses to see him.
+master chief Lmao
More like a White Castle.
omg didn't get the joke at first cuz french, googled it, wasn't disappoint.
The legend never dies
Once a fan - always a fan.
Such a legendary video from Micheal Romeo 🤟🔥
I'm genuinely surprised him and malmsteen have never toured together. they'd make a killer show
You think malmsteens ego can take being played under the table by Romeo every show of the tour.
My favorite Guitarist M.J. Romeo.
I`ve been a huge fan of this guy since 97, and still his ability is just utterly amazing. Trying to play his stuff is incredibly hard, close to Shawn Lane. I just love his work. But what I really love about this video is actually the outro song!
Who would've thought one of the greatest players out there would be from Jersey xD
KUDOS to this god, may he live long years to come and continue liberating us eager students.
Yngwie stopped communicating a long time ago. This guy never stopped.
The best teacher on shred world
Here`s slow: Piruriu Piruriu Piruriu Piruriu Piruriu Piruriuuuuuuuuu
A little faster: Prrrrrrriuuuu....
:D
thanks a lot!
lol
Absolutely. All chubbys should be killed.
Jajajajajajaja
Lol .. 👍😂
Probably one of the only a few original guitarists who do new things and different styles of shredding. You can tell its a Romeo solo just by hearing how different it sounds. Michael Pinnella must love challenging him on the keys
This guy is nothing but inspiring. I hope one day my techniques are this good!.......I can hope......And more practice would help too!
precision speed picking what a master love how he clearly shows economy picking
25:02 classical but still POWERFUL AF!
Young guitar magazine influence many legendary guitarist in japan....
They always bring the most badass guitarist as a guest.
What the actual fuck.
I'm speechless.
I know right :D
Everything about this masterclass is perfect. He's really skilled. It's like Yngwie but with a lot more knowledge from other classical periods and progressive jazz stuff. I feel sad in the ending. Haha
Who could freaking learn from that? You would have to be a fucking boss to begin with.
Thanks
Jesus that picking is sooooop clean
I can't believe in this day and age that people are still made fun of for the way they look and not for who they are
He really doesn't have big hands or long fingers. Gives those of us who weren't born with those gifts hope.
It made me never give up
Michael Romeo

Dr Romeo can kick Yngwie's ass any day, even though I do greatly admire and was really inspired by the Yngwie.
Really?! So the clone can kick the original's ass? Maybe in a cheeseburger eating contest!!
