Wouldn't be a stretch to say the level of guitar over the years has certainly increased due to the advancement of technology and increase in world population. But I think judging the level of young kids by just this video, or any video you see on youtube for that matter is extremely misleading. Of course the playing is good, otherwise, why would you upload it? And obviously, not everyone who plays guitar, uploads stuff on the internet.
Dude I come back to this solo all the time, gotta be the most perfect phrasing ever in a song. It's like when you hear a note you weren't really anticipating and you're like " OOOHH FUCK" thats this whole solo lol
It was not my intention to copy Talisson Cristino Since the backing track for this competition has similar chord progression as the Kiesel competition 2020 I ended up hearing Talisson Cristino's line and played it without knowing. Talisson Cristino is one of the guitarists that I have really admired for a long time and also have tried to study his phrasing and lines. 🙏🏻 If I had realized that I played the same line as him, I would have definitely changed my solo before I put it out. On the other hand, I feel like I am proud that the line that what i played ended up being the same as him since it means that I have learned to hear similar things with a guitarist that I admire. Everything I played, I genuinely heard them in my head, wrote them and record them in my own way. (Still, if i end up playing the same line as othes people, I still play it in my own way and use them differently) Sincerely, Unda Alunda
Bro completely understand you, sometimes myself included, thought I wrote a great licks but ended up discovering it's the same lick I heard years ago.... Even though you're a lot better than me
Don't worry about it my man. Haters are going to hate - you are too nasty at guitar to let it slow you down. John Mayer's best blues licks are all stolen from SRV, and most of SRV's licks are stolen from his heroes. Nobody in their right mind would accuse Stevie Ray of being inauthentic because he borrowed some licks from Muddy Waters. It's paying homage! Keep up the good work.
When i was in college I came up with the best chord progression I ever had thought of. I started playing and it just game to me. I was so excited I showed my friends and they loved it too. Later that week i was on a drive and heard an old favorite... my "original" chord progression turned out to be Hotel California! I have never learned that song, but I did figure it out by accident that day. Just keep cranking out tunes, my man. your leads are awesome!
@@flipf615 I can't explain, but I feel the same. Sometimes is about audacity of keeping the "shred level" low. Also it's kind os a signature move of his, as you can hear similar on another solo competition th-cam.com/video/KVQvcPbo_XU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=UndaAlunda 0:22
Very few guitarists really get that touch with the way they play very few like this guy just got "IT" since this is a competition you can compare a lot of guitarists to him and you'll easily know his signature sound and in a blind test know it's HIM. This dude could easily release an album out there and create actual music without sounding similar to the shit-ton of periphery wannabes and elitist prog dudes out there. The 1st guitarist in 2021 that really impressed me similar to the greats i would never forget this dude's sound. Some are just forgettable like most modern guitarist but this guy oh this is just like discovering Van Halen and Plini again.
The taste on your notes and figures choice is impolute, dude I feel like something pulling from my heart out when I see/listen to this stuff. Not a single note or line left to luck, you're right there on every and each move so present
@@mindset1768 you say that... this is just my opinion: his playing is very smooth, do you really think when you play that fluidly you‘re going to have any trouble coming up with licks? I don‘t I reckon he can come up with licks himself no problem, so if he‘s internalised something he‘s heard and it‘s coming out here I‘m absolutely inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt - because he doesn’t need to copy, why would he?
@@mountainman8775 You say that but here's reality: Besides a couple of competitions, what has he done? Yet, nothing. Didn't even know this guy if it wasn't for an ad. Same thing with a bunch of copy paste guitar "shredders" who won't amount to nothing. There's your proof, besides this they won't do or accomplish anything else. I can see it, people who know this stuff see it clearly, you don't because you are nothing more than a clapping person, an cheerful ignorant who pays the ticket for this modern circus.
@@mindset1768 it‘s true what you say, I‘m just another clapping person. Apart from a very occasional fusion album, however, I‘m not paying any tickets for anything.... because people expect music for free these days, I don‘t think it‘s even the goal for a player like this one to make it big, the point is being excellent at your craft for art‘s own sake. Consider this: very arguably Holdsworth is the best player there‘s ever been, at least the best improviser - he struggles to make any money most of his life and dies finally in fairly poor circumstances. Yet he‘s adored and his musical significance has a long life for years to come. I think that‘s the goal of young players like this, perhaps winning “a couple of competitions” whilst they train their skills, but when they go on to make albums and further promote the instrument, imo they have achieved a lot.
Funny how everytime you play your own song regardless the backing track, but still manage somehow to go on the top 3 because of your really different vision of tonality that's so different that absurdely makes sense.
I have to say both you and Matteo Mancuso have a very similar musical approach, both melodic, technically exciting and very enjoyable to listen and watch. Bravo.
How about saving some 1st or 2nd place spots in guitar competitions for the rest of us? Lol. You're one melodic beast of a player, with great technique as well ;)
Wow, your phrasing and musicality is so good. Ofc your technique amazing as well. Could you perhaps explain what technique and how you play the lick at 00:50? Maybe tabs or a video?
Wow, this is musically extremely fulfilling. Awesome job and congrats on the first place! Well deserved! I also love the sound, what amp/program did you use?
Dude I think you're my new hero. I used to have one of these Revstars and I'm sorry I got rid of it. Of course i couldn't get it to do what yours does. Killin' it bro.
Who keeps coming back to listen to this?
2024 ...
Technically excellent but musically this is on a whole different level.
Young kids are so much better at guitar these days. Like when I was growing up, all anyone could play was a zeppelin riff or two

@@MrThepopopopo never said it wasn't true
I just think the Internet brings them closer. I would have never heard of this kid 40 years ago.

Pround on you bro.
0:36 - 0:42 I've been playing guitar for 8 years now and I've never heard something like that. I love the guitar community. What a FASCINATING sound!
then you need to expand what you listen to, nontheless the solo is good
It tooks a pair of listens to understand this part. But know I love it.
Guthrie Govan does it a lot
what exactly is so impressive about it?

keep coming back to this. THE BEND! OMG. its like the opposite of a boomer bend haha! Prog rocks!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is the most original piece I've ever heard!
The slides into a bend were👌👌👌
You're carrying the torch from Petrucci, this is one of the best sets of lines I've heard since late 90s DT stuff.
Petrucci's taste and emotional depth not on the level of this kid tbh, no pun intended.
I skipped back like eight times watching this. Then watched it another ten times. Excellent my dude.
Youcube please ban this guy from joining any guitar conpetition!, he must always have won any competition he sign in 😱😱😱
Nice good job🔥🔥🔥
the beginning of the solo is pretty awesome but after the bending at 0:30 u just blew my mind until the end
Damn kid. You can seriously play. Keep going and don't ever let the darkside get near you. Respek
The taste on your notes and figures choice is impolute, dude I feel like something pulling from my heart out when I see/listen to this stuff. Not a single note or line left to luck, you're right there on every and each move so present
Beasht playin man. Shredded, but kept that musicality and interest in there thats so sought after. Well done!
A player that knows exactly what he‘s doing
Exactly, someone who knows well from what JTC dvd he's repeating and copying "licks" in "his own special unique way" hahaha

0:30 the control is AMAZING
simply on another level
Is he better than Jack Thammarat yet?
Guthrie’ish style, nice, love those neat clean notes.
Amazing, reminds me Roy Ziv at the beginning, love your signature licks and picking dynamic
th-cam.com/video/1h3fNp5RIMo/w-d-xo.html
no listen to the first lick
@@paulgilbert3139 ohh the same!
i love melody combined with technic the best style!
beautiful melody, and amazing technique. loved the tapping arpeggio line. I have no words really... congrats !
My favourite thing about the way you play is the way you jump to grab those high notes; it sounds amazing and really makes those notes sound dramatic!
Why did every youtubers that use yamaha revstar guitar was so incredible? This guitar must've been really amazing
I've seen phil x use this my god he's a monster as well.
@@Electrowasabi Yeah, matteo mancusso also use this and he is also a freakin fusion monster
Dude no wonder you're the winner, the musical complexity of this solo is fucking impressive! So good to listen to!
this is really sick. I felt too much soul inside this play
amazing dude ! beautiful playing. i learned to play in the 60's and things are on a whole different level these days.
What a tasteful incorporation of some typical "shred" with , well something else. And that controlled bend is Guthrie Govan level controlled
I really can't stop listening to your bends and this thing as a whole. You're awesome :)
This guy is unstoppable.
Congratulations dude you deserve more 🔥
You will be one of the most guitarist in the world. I love every note that you play
I guess you meant 'best' lol...yea
Definitely deserved it. Nice job dude. Phrasing, melodic, interesting techniques.....who wouldn't give it first place?
Uau que maneiro... Ouço licks do gênio brasileiro Talisson Cristino, muito legal ver ele sendo reconhecido!
ouvi a mesma coisa, mano!!!
Got some Owane vibes on this one. Man, you're 1 hell of a player!
Those where the best bends i've ever heard, amazing
Geez, that was amazing !
Tallison Cristino Kiesel Contest 2020's licks detected 😀👍🙏
Exatamente! Sabia que já tinha ouvido isto antes. 😂😂😂😂 Malandro
Tallison was using alunda lick as well for his vola competition 2024 entry (Vola 2024 = 0:40) 😂
Beyond my comprehension. This is truly the next level musicality
Funny how everytime you play your own song regardless the backing track, but still manage somehow to go on the top 3 because of your really different vision of tonality that's so different that absurdely makes sense.
Watched this 5x back to back. What a statement
Winning competitions left and right 🙌🙌🙌
Beautiful. Music so beautiful, you must be a beautiful soul.
What is this tone? It's tickling all the good parts of my brain, man
Purely Magical!!! Technical Genius you are. AKA = Gifted 😊
This guys phrasing is on another level!!
I have to say both you and Matteo Mancuso have a very similar musical approach, both melodic, technically exciting and very enjoyable to listen and watch. Bravo.
Andre nieri is one level above Matteo, and Matteo is one level above this guy
Beautiful Monster ! Great idea and play
i hear some talisson cristino licks, amazing
Yeah from 0:05 this is 100% copy of Talisson's composition
Those bends... 0:28
incredible
ขนลุก ชอบนายเล่นมากเลย ตามมานานแล้ววว ขอให้ไปได้ไกลๆสุดๆๆๆไปเลยครบ
ขอบคุณมากๆเลยนะครับบ 😃🙏🏻
absolutely astounding
Some tasty shredding there boss, I can see why you got 1st place!!!
Absolutely insane!
Future guitar hero
How about saving some 1st or 2nd place spots in guitar competitions for the rest of us? Lol. You're one melodic beast of a player, with great technique as well ;)
God damn! I became an instant fan on that first bend!
God damn, now THAT is a fucking solo!!
Amazing! I love this guy!
Incredible lines, perfect notes and a dramatic vibe that simply makes this solo unique. 👏👏👏👏
Simultaneously beautiful and ferocious
ซาวด์ติดหูและเก่งมากครับ ชื่นชม
Beautiful use of tone. Satriani would def be proud!!
Man, this is beautiful
I wasn't fully into your solos on your 2 other contest entry, but this one is truly a gem
This is together with Mile zero by Wes Hauch probably my favorite guitar solo of all time.
It's only a competition if the others stand a chance. Damn dude, that's amazing.
this is free of any cliche that could be, literally the most original solo ive ever heard.
Cool, congratulations ! Glad to see a Revstar 😎
That was killer! I got Alan Holdsworth vibes
subbed immediately after the bend at 0:30
its cool that a few others have commented on that note @:30. It was simply amazing!
Kid's got a voice! Keep up the good work.
That note bend @:30 is perfection. Excellent job!
you look like the strongest soldier of humanity
P.D. I love ur solos
Great phrasing, wonderful ideas, and beautiful sound! High level guitar and beauty! Keep it up bro!
It's unfair. U r too good bro. Goodjob and congrats 👏👏

Wow, your phrasing and musicality is so good. Ofc your technique amazing as well.

That last bend...I've never heard anything like that before. 🤯
Dude I think you're my new hero. I used to have one of these Revstars and I'm sorry I got rid of it. Of course i couldn't get it to do what yours does. Killin' it bro.
