I like that you didn't just play one type of genre in this video, you covered many more techniques with this than you would've with one style. Beyond that, this is amazing simply as a piece of music, beautifully done.

[@joelcoool]

1. Economy picking 2. Slide guitar 3. 8 finger tapping (both hands over the top of the neck, watch herman li or synyster gates master class solo) 4. Divebomb 5. Killswitch 6. That thing where you strum all the strings but they're all muted except for one, it sounds cool 7. Bending behind the nut 8. Amp feedback 9. Sweep up - tap - sweep down 10. Tap the pickups with your pick 11. Thumb over the top to mute or play a note 12. Tap with pick 13. Neck bending 14. Hammer on and pull off constantly, but between fret and open e.g. unholy confessions end riff, watch it live to see 15. Lick the strings I didn't do this to say 'oh yeah, 40 isn't enough' or 'you're shit' or whatever, I just thought of a few that I wanted to mention. In fact, you're one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. Bonus: 17. Burn your guitar on stage

IMO sweeps aren't even worth the time to learn. Its a cool technique, but whenever they're in a song for more than a few seconds it quickly gets boring. I'll Paypal $10 to whoever can name a truly classic song with more than a few seconds of sweeps. And don't say Children of Bodom or some dumb shit like that.

HOW CAN 972 NOT LIKE THIS EPIC LESSON!? BTW ANYONE KNOW HOW HE CAN ACHIVE THAT NICE SUSTAINING SOUND. I DO'T MEAN PLAYING WISE. I THINK I KNOW THAT. LIKE WHAT KIND OF GEAR/EFFECTS HE'S USING?

[@gmcguitar]

Marugeist Nivelo Hi Marugeist - check out this full lesson which features listing of gear used by Sinisa in this video: www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/40-Techniques-Solo/ ....Sustain is usually a combination of technique with well setup guitar. Technique wise it is important to keep the right amount of pressure on the vibrating string and not touch the vibrating string in any way unintentionally after it has been picked as that will stop the vibration and note will loose sustain. Sometimes it is also needed to add a bit of vibrato to notes in order to keep the sustain. Effects wise, a bit of gain (overdrive/distortion) certainly helps keep the notes ringing longer. --Bogdan

[@JDNS6]

gmcguitar Will definitely do right now. Thanks for sharing!

[@arturfil]

Marugeist Nivelo also he probably was using a delay pedal maybe? but sounds like that could help

[@youtubkeeper]

I can hear a lot of chorus and he uses overdrive for parts. A small amount of reverb can help to give more body to a note.
