There is no comparison. Generally, Syu is a more technical, speedy fingers, energy booster. On the other hand, Hizaki aims to deliver emotions with body expressions, good harmonies, and elegance. Anyways, I love them both uwu
I agree how I believe that Syu is just as if not more emotional in his music, unfortunately the selection in this video aren’t the best to display that
Syu is Pure Power and Speed!! and Hizaki is sheer Class and Elegance!! Both their styles are different and very unique which defines themselves! I am sure they both respect each other.
Syu is the one of the rare guitarists who make your whole body goose bumb whenever he takes the lead with a solo. Guy is unbelievable, he puts all his feelings into each note
syu has a lot of neo classical background, kinda reminds me of malmsteen, but with feeling. goes from classical licks, to shredding/sweep metal style now, hizaki is dope too, but limited to one kind of playing
Let's all just agree that Japan has legions of instrumentalists that can easily hang with the best of the West. Seriously, it's ridiculous how they have so many amazing musicians in all kinds of genres. Heck, even just their Pop musicians are more skilled at instruments than their American counterparts (who are nothing but glorified fashion models at this point). Japan still seems to respect music as an art form.
@@donaldzuramp4807 I watched an old documentary last night on "Death Metal" and the various sub-genre's... you would think that they'd at least mention, Dir en Grey... or some form of Jp Metal... nope, not a damned word. All about UK/Norway/ Sweden. Like those are the only countries in the word that had any sort of death metal, grindcore, speed metal. Maybe it's a blessing... the Japanese scene won't be flooded.
@@cookiemobers5650 Yes. Japanese Metal/Rock scene is so underrated. I would place Galneryus, Lovebites above any other current metal band from the West.
+GCKelloch I made a similar comment about Teru and Hizaki in different video (which I think it is more reasonable to compare them, rather than with Syu, that if you should really compare between two godlike artists). But, I think Masashi is a good bassist too..
Hizaki is like Syu's little brother. While Hizaki is a great guitar player, Syu is a master not only in technique but also in composition. Hizaki easily wins the wardrobe competition!
Dude Syu has the prowess of a japanese malmsteen....guy is genius...listen to songs like Whisper in the red sky and almost everysong from the first three albums....
HaGGim carlos Nah dude...you cant compare leda to Syu...Syu has a masterful play style...Ive been listening to Galneryus since their first music video aired in the states back when the original MTV was still around...Dude every time I listen to Syu play and an amazing riff comes along...the passion and soul he puts into it makes me want to scream its so good....Malmsteen, Steve Vai, and Batio were Gods in the last generation, as you can call Syu in this generation...
+TonyRedgrave1 Actually Takayoshi Ohmura is a better player. His picking technique is flawless. And he's an even more technical and faster player than Syu.
I like guitarists like steve vai, petrucci, dimebag, jason becker, buckethead etc ... But damn, Syu is just so unique, creative, clean, his guitar skills are incomparable
@@neoclassicalfanatic8416 Agreed 100% Petrucci is a great player but it kinda gets boring after awhile. Syu on the other hand has a good mix of catchy melodic lines and shred
@@oyc7946 yes,syu never gets boring tbh.He knows how to write shred guitar patterns without feeling boring. The way he blends melodic lines with well planned shred lines is mind boggling
@@neoclassicalfanatic8416 dumbest statement I've seen in a while. Syu's icon is JP and can't even touch his feet. JP is known by guitar god dumbo. His speed, technique, precision, and improvising all together are incomparable to all. Only Guthrie Govan is better in jazzy improvising.
more "Arpeggios" in a guitar lick make the shred sound a lot more beautiful in ears. hizaki has his own type of style that you can recognize immediately when you heard one.
+Andie Helmi I really like hide, he was a great guitarist, but i think Syu's more skilled, that's my own opinion, so its subjective, they're all great guitarist, but yes, to me Syu's just a beast. If we speak about charism, i'll choose hide eyes closed.
Syu is more skilled but Hizaki's style is more passionate and original. I have to say that personally Hizaki wins every time even though Syu is the better guitarist in a technical sense. Syu's playing is cleaner for sure, but Hizaki still has a little something extra that makes up for it. That said both are amazingly talented guitarists!!
Its a tough one. I think both are great when it comes to speed and melody. Both are very technical. I think Hizaki's execution is more dramatic . Syu's articulation is definitely pushing it to the next level. So, I go with SYU.
I'm a [eletric] guitar player and big fan of Versailles, I have almost all their discography and until a while ago I did not know very well Galneryus. I'm hearing on TH-cam in recent days and I'm stumped. Not because I am a fan of another band I'll stop talking for the reason. Hizaki is a great guitarist, but Syu is ridiculously absurd.
Four years later and it is STILL Hizaki. BUT what I love about Japanese rock, heavy rock and heavy metal is they STILL love GUITAR GODS whereas we in the West seem to have forgotten it is more than just Death metal shredding but true guitar talent. Thank the stars Japan picked up where we got lost in the West when that crap grunge showed up and then pop music rules the airwaves and you can only listen to the same 50 songs on rock radio OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Thanks the gods as well for sound systems where you can download must YOU like as I have with 7 days nonstop and never hear the same song twice. AND most of the music is JAPANESE ROCK!!!
Sin duda Hizaki transmite mas sentimiento en su música y tiene un estilo único, sin dejar atras a Syu que es un gran guitarrista de Power Matal Melodico con mucha más técnica que Hizaki.
Dude, if you wanna see Hizaki's shreds, you should've included Ascendead Master or some Jupiter's videos. Hizaki can shred, but he prefers melodic plays. Syu, on the other hand, is a fulltime shredder, day in day out, although he can be melodic as well, just like in Angel of Salvation.
I think you are exactly right. Its a matter of taste. If you want full-time shred, then yeah, Syu; but if you want melody and composition with the shred, then Hizaki, hands down. Just on technical skill on frets, I think the slight edge is Syu, incredibly beautiful finger skills, but a total work of art is its composure and there, Hizaki is the King's Queen!
I have to say Syu and maybe it's because I've been listening to Galneryus/Spinalcord for almost 10 years, but I think Syu is more technical although he's not known for it. Syu is definitely a more balanced player in terms of style from the videos you showed us. SYU - my number one guitarist!
Syu has a vibe of Uli Jon Roth I noticed it the first time I heard the band, than I realized he had an extended scale guitar and scalloped fretboard at the last frets, he sounds very proficient in his playing with great feel that reverberate through and through, Hizaki is a very good player who seem to play by ear like myself and sometimes doesn't make it to the pitch more raw of a player I'd say, but it also makes him sound more genuine, we all love raw players don't we? Hendrix Page Blackmore and more.
In terms of skill Syu is just on a totally different level, also I find his playing to sound clearer. But it's just a matter of personal taste, also it's different styles so there's no point in comparing them. Btw, half of this video are just terrible examples of both of them, there's way better performances of them.
He is very technical but also falls into the same trap a lot of technical players seem to find themselves in: He is technical and skilled but there is just not the same level emotion that is conveyed in their playing.
@@blaynegreiner9365 How? If you see, Syu has more facial expression than Hizaki when they're in action. He's pure plays with soul & emotion not just shred.
Technically, to me, its evidently Syu - more technical versatility. Though I like Versailles & Jupiter much more than Galneryus and prefer Hizaki's solos hence.
I love both guitarist, but Syu has been playing at a whole different level the last 5 years. I have to give him the edge, but that in no way takes away from Hizaki. You're going to get something wonderful with either guitarist.
That's the thing that amazes me with Syu. There are so many guitarists that have their peak and then fall off skill wise. But with Syu... he just keeps improving. The older he gets the better he gets.
Syu is a technical monster, but Hizaki is a composition genius AND a hard skilled guitarist aswell... I mean, c'mon, have you seen Hizaki sweep ? I could watch him sweep picking all day long
Both have their Strengths and weakness, 'None of it being Weak!' It's like they Approach and deliver the Goods, awesome Dynamic Metal Riffs, Lead licks and an melodic ensemble that makes them "Who" they are! This is Good to Hear! Love the Talent and Exuberance! These guys don't Compete "They play their Asses Off!" Good Stuff! =D
I love hizaki and I'm going for him but syu is so nasty with it especially how he expresses his body and face with the music... the crowd was flowing with him it was awesome... still, hizaki!!!!!!!
Yeah I agree Syu all the way. I love both Galneryus and Versailles/Jupiter but strictly going off of ability/technique, Syu is one of the very best in the world. Hizaki is also a world class guitarist in his own right but almost no one can play at Syu's level. As far as musicality in terms of composition goes they are too different to compare directly. Both are the primary songwriters of truly one-of-a-kind epic bands but, as you said, Syu is only getting better with every album Galneryus puts out. Vetelgyus is fucking awesome. The History of Genesis is also fucking awesome, and I was glad that Jupiter started branching out a little more on this album. A lot of the songs on the album are very different stylistically from what Versailles/Jupiter has done before. Darkness from this album along with Forever With You from Classical Element are two of my favorite Versailles/Jupiter songs. So it's not that their band isn't also improving as a whole, it's just that Ganeryus's improvement is much more noticable. I would like to point out that I'm not dissing Hizaki in any way; both him and Syu live on top of the Mount Olympus of the guitar world, shooting lightning bolts out of the end of their instruments raining destruction down on the land below. In correlation to their guitar prowess Hizaki may be Hercules, but Syu is fucking Zues. If they had a true guitar duel and swapped solos until one admitted defeat, Syu would beat Hizaki like Ralph Macchio beat Steve Vai in Crossroads.
I can't agree no one, paul gilberts old ass can play at syus level and one of the only few that can... paul gilbert is a guitar god. But I love both Syu and Hizakis playing I wont choose between these 2
Aahh vaya, dificultades para decidir entre uno pero lo que me gustó más pese al estilo visual que lleva en el escenari, son las melodías que crea con la guitarra hablo de Hizaki me gustó mucho su estilo. Sin más palabras..
they are a incredible neoclassical metal guitarists, but the big difference is that Syu represents the 60% of power of Galneryus and they are very focused on him, and the case of Hizaki, he is simply another part of his band because the other members are very talented like him.
Both styles are insanely good. Syu Is more technical, and can make you cry in high speed sequences while making legendary hymns. Hizaki Is more melodic, and takes his movements and his postures as a form of expression, while Is playing melodies that can touch your heart very easily, the classical style Is more than evident here.
Both area good, BUT......Hizaki at the most the time have Teru playing guitar with him and Syu is a only Guitarist on the band and carry with the all harmonic sound of the guitar.
Syu is an amalgamation of all the metal from Scandinavia paired with the essence of Malmsteen. But the soul he puts into it is unmatched. Megadeth solos are sweet, but you don't feel the same emotion as you would with Syu. I'd say that the only guitarist really comparable to the solos that Syu pumps out would he John Petrucci. But even then, Syu clears because of how many solos that he has that are pure fire.
Tecnicamente ñ da para comparar por q são dois monstros. Pra mim como compositor o Hizaki ganha fácil, o Syu é bastante repetitivo e são poucos solos que se nota algo diferente. Essa comparação é meio fail por que o estilo dos dois são bem diferentes, daria para comparar o Syu com o Ohmura, Yokozeki, Norifumi Shima e até o Teru.
There's no doubt that Syu is the technical master of it's genre, probably more experienced, simply brilliant and i listen to him and his music regularly... I've listened to ALOT of power, neoclasical, opera, heavy, progressive, black, death metal bands, and i like them all and they have place in my heart and they bring nostalgia BUT Versailles... for me it's like the kind of music that could come only from my wildest dreams, in some songs, everything, to the tiniest detail is 100 % as i would like, even the faults and roughness. The apparent "in-human" lack of emotion on faces that in contrast goes perfectly with emotional bomb that is visual, choreographic and musical style combined ... it's sort of like rebellion to standards that i've got so accustomed to. In short, from my perspective i listen Syu, (and Malmsteen and others) to be in awe and jump around, but Versailles when i need dreams, inspiration and food for my soul... if that makes any sense to you?? xD
From watching them live and their Vids you can tell they have different styles and patterns in their riffs, tempo, harmony, etc. Both are skillful but different in artistry, showmanship, styles and genre in their music. So both are incomparable. Its like comparing Apples to Oranges. So this is a Dumb Down question! People love comparing things that are different they always forgot that each and everyone are unique in their very own way. That's how stupid and idiotic most people are.
Here's how I look at it. Hizaki focuses more on actually playing, and playing damn good. While syu, is focusing on having more fun with it, and feeling the music. I mean both are amazing guitarist and the epitome of power metal. But hizaki is definitely more focused on just playing and shredding, and syu is seen closing his eyes, and getting into it, and having fun with his playing.
Syu is far better. He has better feeling, speed and technics. Syu play guitar like it was a part of his body, nothing seems to be impossible to him, Hizaki is less natural when he play, he seems to be concentrated to play even when the level is under Syu's one. It's like comparing an Audi TT with a Lamborghini Veneno. The two are excellent, but one is far better :)
Galneryus does have some really beautiful cool songs like Across the Rainbow and Angel of Salvation the lives are really cool Very cool and beautiful guitar solos❤
Am I the only one that actually likes Teru more than Hizaki? In the majority of their more technical songs (Ascendead Master, Faith & Decision, Silent Knight, Love From a Dead Orchestra, etc) Teru is one that always shined the most to me. I feel that Hizaki is MUCH better at creating riffs, but in terms of soloing Teru has him beat.
+Vanegaku Honestly, I think Hizaki is more popular simply because he looks like a woman. Hizaki reuses a lot of the same phrases/licks in a lot his solos, whereas Teru seems to be much more diverse. Watch "DESTINY" live to see how diverse Teru's playing is compared to Hizaki.
I just listened to "Ascendead Master" because of your remark, and you're right. He's way better. But still both can't compete with Syu. (I have to admit that I have never heard any of them before. And stylistically they all aren't my cup of tea.)
This is a comparison of two different sub-genre of power metal, both in composicion and passing. I believe both musicians are farely talented and capable of prowes while improvising there solos, but what changes is how much freedom does de composition of each song is giving them. Usually melodic power metal with progressive variation gives more room to experimentation, although not a riggid genre, symphonic metal maybe less flexible, also they are doing their theatricals which tales more work and energy.
Es muy difícil, hizaki es más veloz y su sonido es bastante bueno, pero syu es más agresivo y preciso. Está muy complicado, quizá me quedaría con hizaki. Muchas gracias x él vídeo.
There is no comparison. Generally, Syu is a more technical, speedy fingers, energy booster. On the other hand, Hizaki aims to deliver emotions with body expressions, good harmonies, and elegance. Anyways, I love them both uwu

Hizaki is also a world class guitarist in his own right but almost no one can play at Syu's level. As far as musicality in terms of composition goes they are too different to compare directly. Both are the primary songwriters of truly one-of-a-kind epic bands but, as you said, Syu is only getting better with every album Galneryus puts out. Vetelgyus is fucking awesome. The History of Genesis is also fucking awesome, and I was glad that Jupiter started branching out a little more on this album. A lot of the songs on the album are very different stylistically from what Versailles/Jupiter has done before. Darkness from this album along with Forever With You from Classical Element are two of my favorite Versailles/Jupiter songs. So it's not that their band isn't also improving as a whole, it's just that Ganeryus's improvement is much more noticable. I would like to point out that I'm not dissing Hizaki in any way; both him and Syu live on top of the Mount Olympus of the guitar world, shooting lightning bolts out of the end of their instruments raining destruction down on the land below. In correlation to their guitar prowess Hizaki may be Hercules, but Syu is fucking Zues. If they had a true guitar duel and swapped solos until one admitted defeat, Syu would beat Hizaki like Ralph Macchio beat Steve Vai in Crossroads.
Chris Cannon Finally! Someone who knows their shit!
I can't agree no one, paul gilberts old ass can play at syus level and one of the only few that can... paul gilbert is a guitar god. But I love both Syu and Hizakis playing I wont choose between these 2
Jose Andujar Why is Paul Gilbert's "Old Ass" in the discussion? You could've have said Paul Gilbert only.
Both of these guitarist are the best of the best!
syu better than slash
papa .jo What kind of comparison is that? Syu is neoclassical and Slash is glam rock, makes no sense to compare them.

Yeray Nuñez If you use emoji’s your opinion doesn’t count.
Aahh vaya, dificultades para decidir entre uno pero lo que me gustó más pese al estilo visual que lleva en el escenari, son las melodías que crea con la guitarra hablo de Hizaki me gustó mucho su estilo. Sin más palabras..
No compares syo,(Mozart)🎸🎻🎧😎con hizaki (bethoben) quien se lo lleva es syo sin palabras
I love Hisaki, but Syu is better!
Son dos guitarristas de gran talla y tienen diferentes estilos no me aburro nunca de escucharlos
比べるものじゃないと思った
いい音出す天才の動画ですね。いつまでも聴いていられます
they are a incredible neoclassical metal guitarists, but the big difference is that Syu represents the 60% of power of Galneryus and they are very focused on him, and the case of Hizaki, he is simply another part of his band because the other members are very talented like him.
have u ever listen to the force of courage by galneryus? they r all talented
Bro te olvidaste de Yhuki en los teclados Taka en el bajo y cualquiera de los bateristas que han pasado por la banda
The others are as Skilled like him
Music is a very good way to connect with people.

@@はる-n2y3m この動画の選曲なのかも知れませんが個人的に似てるなっと思っただけです。2名ともめちゃめちゃすごいプレイだと思います(^ ^)
Both styles are insanely good. Syu Is more technical, and can make you cry in high speed sequences while making legendary hymns. Hizaki Is more melodic, and takes his movements and his postures as a form of expression, while Is playing melodies that can touch your heart very easily, the classical style Is more than evident here.
Both area good, BUT......Hizaki at the most the time have Teru playing guitar with him and Syu is a only Guitarist on the band and carry with the all harmonic sound of the guitar.
Syu is an amalgamation of all the metal from Scandinavia paired with the essence of Malmsteen. But the soul he puts into it is unmatched. Megadeth solos are sweet, but you don't feel the same emotion as you would with Syu.
I'd say that the only guitarist really comparable to the solos that Syu pumps out would he John Petrucci.
But even then, Syu clears because of how many solos that he has that are pure fire.
Tecnicamente ñ da para comparar por q são dois monstros. Pra mim como compositor o Hizaki ganha fácil, o Syu é bastante repetitivo e são poucos solos que se nota algo diferente. Essa comparação é meio fail por que o estilo dos dois são bem diferentes, daria para comparar o Syu com o Ohmura, Yokozeki, Norifumi Shima e até o Teru.
Visualism Kei concordo.
São estilos diferentes.
O Syu é mais rápido, mas as melodias do Hizaki são melhores

Both are my favorites
both are excellent. definitely a honorable draw between two Grandmasters of shred guitar

HIZAKIのJupiterの新譜ヤバイぞ！ヴォーカル変えて大化けしてんだよ！
There's no doubt that Syu is the technical master of it's genre, probably more experienced, simply brilliant and i listen to him and his music regularly... I've listened to ALOT of power, neoclasical, opera, heavy, progressive, black, death metal bands, and i like them all and they have place in my heart and they bring nostalgia
BUT Versailles...
for me it's like the kind of music that could come only from my wildest dreams, in some songs, everything, to the tiniest detail is 100 % as i would like, even the faults and roughness. The apparent "in-human" lack of emotion on faces that in contrast goes perfectly with emotional bomb that is visual, choreographic and musical style combined ... it's sort of like rebellion to standards that i've got so accustomed to.
In short, from my perspective i listen Syu, (and Malmsteen and others) to be in awe and jump around, but Versailles when i need dreams, inspiration and food for my soul...
if that makes any sense to you?? xD
Syu has a much superior technical ability but Hizaki has more memorable melodies
Hizaky is the best
From watching them live and their Vids you can tell they have different styles and patterns in their riffs, tempo, harmony, etc. Both are skillful but different in artistry, showmanship, styles and genre in their music. So both are incomparable. Its like comparing Apples to Oranges. So this is a Dumb Down question! People love comparing things that are different they always forgot that each and everyone are unique in their very own way. That's how stupid and idiotic most people are.
Here's how I look at it. Hizaki focuses more on actually playing, and playing damn good. While syu, is focusing on having more fun with it, and feeling the music. I mean both are amazing guitarist and the epitome of power metal. But hizaki is definitely more focused on just playing and shredding, and syu is seen closing his eyes, and getting into it, and having fun with his playing.
Syu is far better. He has better feeling, speed and technics. Syu play guitar like it was a part of his body, nothing seems to be impossible to him, Hizaki is less natural when he play, he seems to be concentrated to play even when the level is under Syu's one. It's like comparing an Audi TT with a Lamborghini Veneno. The two are excellent, but one is far better :)
Sorry to ask you this but what about a Eva Vergilova vs Juliette Valduriez guitar battle video? Who do you think would win it?
Galneryus does have some really beautiful cool songs like Across the Rainbow and Angel of Salvation the lives are really cool Very cool and beautiful guitar solos❤

Why comparing 2 different genre who would know who is best here
Que duelo extraordinário entre dois guitarristas 🌹🌹
HizakiかわいいけどSyuに一票！心が動かされるギターです。知名度で高崎に及ばないけど、プレイ、曲は凌駕しています。
Am I the only one that actually likes Teru more than Hizaki? In the majority of their more technical songs (Ascendead Master, Faith & Decision, Silent Knight, Love From a Dead Orchestra, etc) Teru is one that always shined the most to me.
I feel that Hizaki is MUCH better at creating riffs, but in terms of soloing Teru has him beat.
teru is my fav haha
+Vanegaku
Honestly, I think Hizaki is more popular simply because he looks like a woman. Hizaki reuses a lot of the same phrases/licks in a lot his solos, whereas Teru seems to be much more diverse. Watch "DESTINY" live to see how diverse Teru's playing is compared to Hizaki.
+Wheelio I really like a video called Teru the super guitarrist, they're playing Revenant choir in that One. I'll watch destiny :)
I just listened to "Ascendead Master" because of your remark, and you're right. He's way better. But still both can't compete with Syu. (I have to admit that I have never heard any of them before. And stylistically they all aren't my cup of tea.)
This is a comparison of two different sub-genre of power metal, both in composicion and passing.
I believe both musicians are farely talented and capable of prowes while improvising there solos, but what changes is how much freedom does de composition of each song is giving them.
Usually melodic power metal with progressive variation gives more room to experimentation, although not a riggid genre, symphonic metal maybe less flexible, also they are doing their theatricals which tales more work and energy.
I think that Hizaki is more "melodic power metal with progressive variation" and Syu is "symphonic metal",that is right?
Only Syu ! Maestro
Es muy difícil, hizaki es más veloz y su sonido es bastante bueno, pero syu es más agresivo y preciso. Está muy complicado, quizá me quedaría con hizaki. Muchas gracias x él vídeo.
最初のソロ、曲調がXのsilent jealousyみたい
Both absolutely amazing
