Not only is Batio one hell of a guitarist he is also one of the nicest guys ever. My dad opened for him and I got to meet him, I asked if he had an extra pick and he went to his equipment and got me 3 picks. I’ll never forget that because he didn’t have to do that and that fact he did means the world to me

[@ulissdeau7045]

I saw him in a music brands event here in Mexico (2007 I think) and I'm agree with you, he's a really nice guy in love with music. We were really nervous but he was so nice with us and signed our Dean guitars catalog 😂😂😂

[@eassgermany4267]

MAB is really friendliest and nicest guy. He has also really deep knowledge in music theory (not only guitar) and he likes to share his knowledge to people and he can also explain very well.

[@StarvingMorlock]

During years I skipped his videos just because his appearance, I wrongly thought he was a little out of his senses, huge mistake!!! He's a living music encyclopedia, very smart and down to earth guy. His videos are among the best in the whole internet, I regret the time I wasted skipping his videos.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I used to work at a music store, and we hosted MAB clinics twice. Dude’s a total goofball and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He’s got so many stories and the way he tells them is mesmerizing cause you never know when he’s gonna suddenly go off in a goofy voice about some antics he got into on tour with *fill in the blank here*. And yes, he REALLY is that fast, cameras don’t shoot enough FPS so his hands often look like they’re standing still or look choppy and “fake”. Also, the keys to the Lamborghini? Practice practice practice! He tells the story of when he was first learning guitar, he would obsessively play licks over and over and over to make them “his”, nearly every waking hour when he wasn’t at school. This dude would play his guitar until his fingers literally bled, then keep going. He is dedicated to his art like nobody else I’ve ever seen.

[@larrypage1204]

So happy to see MAB get the respect he earned. He gets so much shit from people, like he's a gimmick. This guy is extremely skilled. Extremely. Well deserved praise

He got overshadowed by Malmsteen, like Prince got overshadowed by Michael Jackson. It's a shame tho, I think Batio has made better music than Yngwie over the years and I really like Yngwie's work up to the early 2000s

That's what makes Herman Li like the greatest ever personality wise. He is so self-deprecating and humble. I love him.

[@pmtazekiel]

@@jrgilbert I think Herman could keep up with MAB, speed wise... but MAB has such an immense amount of knowledge in music theory, that he could easily leave Herman in the dust by transitioning to some really crazy phrasing or modal forms

[@jrgilbert]

@@pmtazekiel Since Herman Li is so humble it is hard to know his theory knowledge, but not that that matters much by now. Herman does what he does perfectly awesome so regardless it doesn't matter. Batio is really a great player, but there is a reason he never quite hit the big time in some capacity. Its hard to say exactly why. Maybe it's his melodic playing, maybe it's his composing or just bad luck, but there is a reason he is known only to the most hardcore. Seems like a good guy though.

I remember watching one of his shred videos and we were like totally speechless. We also laughed alot,you know,when something is so ridiculously good that you have to laugh. Then a few months later he came to our city and did a clinic. We said we must go see this guy live. He hardly played all that shredding stuff and swept us all away with incredible,emotional melodic playing. Some of us had actual tears in our eyes. It was an amazing night. So to all you idiots who disrespect him and say, " Oh he might be fast but he plays without feeling etc". Shut the hell up and stop talking nonsense. Any great guitarist knows that a guitarist like Batio can pretty much do anything. Never judge a guitarist by one shredding video. Hermin Li knows this Im sure.

Nah. One of his secrets to playing so clean is actually an absurd amount of gain, but on an amp that can handle it. Because the attack of each note is so powerful, the noise gate shuts out the previous note. It's how his technique works without palm muting at all.

[@ZachIzBeast]

@@ThinWhiteAxe I play both bass and piano. Guitar is harder to get a proper sound out of but there's far more finesse in how you strike piano keys. Look at preeeetty much any classical piece, they're not just clanging away at 1 volume and sound. Plus, being able to make the correct sound is a pretty rudimentary guitar skill.

Wait what? Michael has a wig? "I'm suprised!"

[@CharlesHrodric]

Lol Herman. You need to see his video with the quad guitar! If you thought that was incredible, you need to see him play Freight Train when he was in Nitro. This OG Metal god still have some lessons to teach you

[@stringking77]

I just seen this so I can't wait to see the jam together❤ just two players bouncing ideas off each other

[@crusinHH]

When Herman Li is speechless, you know Batio is doing something right...lol

[@Marc-uk5kr]

MAB: plays the hardest parts with inverted hands, then proceeds to play the slow part normally

[@joesubel]

What a flex honestly lmao

[@Marc-uk5kr]

Wojciech Szeler MAB is left handed

[@Marc-uk5kr]

Wojciech Szeler I actually didn’t find that out until just recently. He had mentioned that he was left handed in an interview like 11 years ago and explained that he had to learn right handed because they didn’t make left handed guitars at the time when he started learning. So I would assume that’s where is ambidextrous nature comes from.

Michael A. B. is a very humble and generous person who loves sharing his art with everyone. I have great admiration for this unique man.
