Finally! I've been waiting for the final part of this interview. And I remember those days back in the 80s all of us talking about Chris, Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Etc. Those were fun times.
So cool seeing Chris rip during the interview - it was so cool to hear him give credit to his good friend Jimi Bell - that was so great to hear - again, just another example of what a great person Chris is - and thank you so much for this awesome 3 part interview Max ! Great job man!
I have one of those Charvel Legacy strat's Chris is playing here and it is just like the old originals from 1981. Grover and the rest of the Charvel crew did a amazing job at cloning the old feel and tone of the 1981 Charvels. The neck on these is one of the best Strat necks ever!
So that's how Chris sort of fell under the radar: he didn't want this 'competition' vibe... And I can definitely understand that. Al DiMeola never got into that "let's just play faster!!!" thing either, but rather went the opposite way. So did Gary Moore and (another mostly unsung hero) Frank Marino... It just got too silly. I think Chris also felt a bit more akin to George Lynch, considering their more 'metal'-based approach. Excellent interview!!! Happy to see Chris is doing well 👍😎🙏
Magnificent interview. It was really just a conversation with input and response as if you were not being recorded. Excellent interview skills on display Max.
Awesome interview! Chris impellitteri was the first VHS guitar solo tutorial I ever bought. I was so amazed at the style of playing it influence me into wanting to be a lead guitar player, and I never forget my influences even from the beginning 🤘
Awesome interview Max!!! So cool to see Chris open up ....he is a phenomenal guitarist! I could tell he was very relaxed around you... that definitely helped him open up for the interview. I bet the neck on his guitar felt smooth as butter.
@@lelandgaunt7130 you can ask some of these little fucktards that refuse to sub to my channel because one time or another i was critical toward their playing or other times ive only liked their channel so go figure.. So ego is a big factor on youtube and in the guitar community i hate to reveal.
Great stuff but here we are in 2023 and have all these great small portable amps and Chris is playing unplugged where we cannot barley hear him? A small Katana amp or one similar would have been a real plus for this!
He one of the guy that made my jaw dropped in my early guitar learning, maybe to early lol. Amazing tone, powerful technique, precision, dat palm mute shred ❤, havent talk about speed yet lol.
My whole life changed when I heard between nothingness and eternity or by the mahavishnu orchestra and that sent me down a spiral descent into hell lol, But I also remember when I heard stand in line from impelliteri and I was just blown away by the technique. And I said I have to try to do that. I was moderately successful but it came at a price nerve damage in my fretting hand So you kids out there know your limitations and don't play through pain. I was actually always a bass player really, but I think that Chris's underestimated for his compositional prowess too. And his chicken picking stuff is just amazing I mean it's amazing. But when I first saw that v HS tape his speed soloing thing I just couldn't even believe it
Chris is so underrated. His chicken picking and string skipping might be the best ever honestly....Im not gonna even talk about speed which is simply ridiculous....Had 4-5 records, but once "Beast" came out it was instant buy. I just had to have them all.
LOVE Chris !!! IMO, and I know this sounds stupidlyness, but if he used a different band name, he may be far more recognized for the genius he is. No, really... been a fan for 30 years and no one I tell about him can recall his name, or let alone, how to friggin' spell it. Never thought he sounded anything like YJM.
Jimmy never played anything like Malmsteen. He's literally just a great guitarist who went nowhere in life nor music likely due to his 'amazing personality'.
dude that circular picking is the shit. i noticed a long time ago i was doing it for the mechanix and it blew my mind lol. i suck, but it helped me improve a lot with the finger flying stuff

Not to forget Jason Becker and Marty Friedman (= Cacophony), Tony McAlpine, Ritchie Kotzen - all these Shrapnel Guys..
GREAT IMPELLITERI!!!! great guitar player...great composer too! a true legend...
Ilve him so much. He just wants to play.
He is one of the greatest alive, hands down.
I'm a huge Gary Moore fan and I still discover after all these year how he influenced so many people...
simply fantastic. Love his music.

Awesome interview Max!! All three segments of this has been amazing. Chris is an amazing guitarist. 🎸🎸👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome interview Max! Chris seems like the nicest guy! Very cool to see! Nice shoutout for Ronni LeTekro there too!

Thank you for this great interview with one of my earliest influences. To have been in a band with one of his is strange to say the least.
Did I miss the Blackmore part....?? Anyways, killer interview & it's great to see him still out there kicking ass. Keep up the good work.
Unplugged he sounds jaw dropping

Great interview!!! I really enjoyed the parts of it. Maybe Micheal Romeo can be next??
I always loved chris's playing and tunes!
Great guitarist. I think what I like about him more than the likes of Malmsteen is that Chris is such a humble guy.
That interview rocked!!! Chris really seems nice and down to earth guy :)
It's an interview from the musician to musicians asking questions we'd like to ask. Great job, man. Greetings from São Paulo / BRAZIL.
Great interview Max!!
Impelliteri. Love it.
Maravilhosa entrevista com meu ídolo Chris Impellitteri! Muito legal ver que ele, Chris, é um cara muito legal!!
I found a copy of what I think might have been the first Impellitteri EP in my first semester in college in 1989. The ENTIRE dorm had to listen to it.
Absolutely great video. Another technique yes please! Thanks Max! And Chris
Great techniques
Awesome interview! Chris impellitteri was the first VHS guitar solo tutorial I ever bought.

Good job, Max! Very good interview. Let’s see some more of these!
Chris Impellitteri just a regular guy who does not seem to have a huge Ego like most great guitarists
Why do you care about ego or personality? Are you listening to the music or writing an in depth "gossip" piece for a cheap magazine? ??
@@lelandgaunt7130 you can ask some of these little fucktards that refuse to sub to my channel because one time or another i was critical toward their playing or other times ive only liked their channel so go figure.. So ego is a big factor on youtube and in the guitar community i hate to reveal.
Many if not most truly great musicians are quite humble. The music or one’s instrument tends to do that to you.
This was outstanding. Thank you.
Someone give that dog a Milkbone or something! 😂
🐕🦴 ...🤣

A small Katana amp or one similar would have been a real plus for this!
Awesome interview with the fabulous axeman Mr. Impellitteri. Please, do an interview with a shred guitar pioneer Mr. David T. Chastain too. 🤘
Great interview Max. Chris is unique.

I know this is out of context, but I love that room you guys are in. It’s refreshing to see you in a dinning room, Rey classy
Class act . anything from Gary Moore is playing guitar with feeling
Chris is so underrated. His chicken picking and string skipping might be the best ever honestly....Im not gonna even talk about speed which is simply ridiculous....Had 4-5 records, but once "Beast" came out it was instant buy. I just had to have them all.
"I'm doing it slowly..." I wish I could play anything that "slowly"!
Great interview!
What is the name of the guitar player Chris mentions, Jimmy Balen or smth I can`t figure it out...?
Jimi Bell. 🤘😎🤘
I would say the song "Secret Lover." It rips from start to finish.
respect to BELL...nice
I think his techniques are more like Paul Gilbert than other guys his mentioned during interview
Dude why you didnt ask him about his forearm picking movement?
What is your daily practice routine; and how to do listen to yourself what you need to practice?
This guy's pick attack is unmatched
👌
the stereo is reversed
LOVE Chris !!! IMO, and I know this sounds stupidlyness, but if he used a different band name, he may be far more recognized for the genius he is. No, really... been a fan for 30 years and no one I tell about him can recall his name, or let alone, how to friggin' spell it.
Never thought he sounded anything like YJM.
Jimmi Bell Plays how Jimmy Hendrix would... if he wanted to shred and play metal.
being handed a guitar by chris would have it for me.
1st comment!
smoking "H" helps to play fast....!!
Jimmy never played anything like Malmsteen. He's literally just a great guitarist who went nowhere in life nor music likely due to his 'amazing personality'.
@@ShredDead Jimmy LOVES the limelight! He could only be the big fish in a small pond due to his ego.
No offense guys but that yapping little dog in the background completely ruins these videos! Hard to enjoy
CHRIS SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING GTR SO MUCH DURING AN INTERVIEW
Shredding is just noise. Give me a good solo that I can humm like the solo in the Beatle’s “Something” or “Since I’ve been loving you”
you know there ts a thing called an amplifier you can plug that guitar into so you can here it! what a joke!
i meant hear it.
🙌🏼
🎼🎻
dude that circular picking is the shit. i noticed a long time ago i was doing it for the mechanix and it blew my mind lol. i suck, but it helped me improve a lot with the finger flying stuff

May the guitar gods be with you
Chris Impelliterri..."Fast fingers with a slow burn"!
