I took guitar lessons 51 years ago and I never got much better , congratulations

[@arturogardunoguitar]

Time really flies. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@ikarooz]

Shhhhhh.... To the crowd trying to keep up. Your riffs are great. Can you play an entire song, with a live band?

[@arturogardunoguitar]

@@ikarooz Yeah probably. I practice with a metronome and backing tracks a lot. I’d love to preform with an actual band but with all the COVID stuff I haven’t been able to.

[@BlueGoat682]

@Gene Yuss Gamma = great band. Gamma 3 is one of my favorite albums especially with songs like "Whats gone is gone".

[@ExtremeRecluse]

The other contestants listen to him and accept the fact that this guy has spent hundreds of hours locked in his bedroom practicing scales and arpeggios. They recognize the pure talent through self sacrifice. Just hard work. Just like studying for hours to have an exam. But this guy gives pleasure to all of his audience. An algebra test just ain't the same.

[@arturogardunoguitar]

Thank you so much! All of what you said is completely true. For almost 8 years now, I’ve locked myself up in my room practicing until I nail what I try to practice. Which does sound depressing now that I think about it, but I was willing to choose passion over friendship. I knew if I fully dedicated myself to music, I knew that it would affect my social skills, making friends and even keeping friends. After all of this amazing support, I don’t regret any second of it!

[@readein]

@@arturogardunoguitar I think it's awesome that you have such amazing drive and passion for music. However I think you should also keep maintaining relationships as a priority. Please don't take this as me hating on you, or telling you to give up your dreams because that's genuinely not what I'm saying. I think you're a beast at guitar and you should never underestimate your talent. Just don't let it keep you from socializing and creating memories/relationships with people. I promise there's room for both. All that said this performance was killer and I think you're extremely talented. Never stop doing what you love!

[@pbosche]

Yes. Let that be a lesson. “Impressive” riffs WILL impress guitarists. Catchy Riffs will captivate the masses and make you money. I heard it for the first time not long ago… Imagine the 12th fret and above.. That’s the high register area. Now imagine everything from the nut to the 7th fret…that’s the CASH register.

But screamed at crazy train 😂😂😂🤦 Edit: you absolutely KILLED it! Don’t ever give up playing guitar, I wish I could meet up with you and we could make some music happen!

[@arturogardunoguitar]

Thank you so much! Yeah my mindset was to play the simple popular stuff that would help secure the win. But I knew I’d have to step it up to make it go big so I played Big Sur Moon first.

[@karmicselling4252]

Eddie Van Halen was the last of the original Guitar Heroes. He's probably looking down at you with a big grin on his face. But he's also probably thinking, "C'mon young fella ... take it to the next level". Stay true to his legacy, take what he gave us and use it as inspiration to create something new. We all stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us so that we can see a little further than they could. Best Wishes to you from the Land Down Under :)

[@karmicselling4252]

@@val13c59 I said "ORIGINAL" Guitar Heroes. There are dozens of guitar greats even to this day. Guys who followed EVH, like Satriani and Vai are incredible musicians. But they like most guitar greats are more evolutionary rather than revolutionary imho.
