Michael Angelo Batio. I really need to tell you that you my friend are one of my favourite guitarists and you are among the three guitarists that have inspired me to try to convince my mum to buy me a pre-owned Crafter Cruiser. You, Dimebag and Kirk Hammett have inspired me. All I'm trying to say is thank you so much. Love from Australia.

[@ipademail6974]

I'm gonna be watching that tribute to Dime my friend.

I love Michael's teaching style, this video is really fun and gives us a great picture of his ideas. In Japanese martial arts there is a concept known as Shoshin or 'beginner's mind', the idea is that you have to maintain the mindset of being a beginner, a willingness to try things, to have an open mind, that techniques are just techniques, each with their purpose. This is sooo similar to what Michael is talking about. Man I would have loved to be a student of Michael Angelo Batio! you rock man, cheers from Canada

[@royrockerfeller]

Michael Angelo is the real deal. I actually had the privilege of attending one of your guitar clinics here in Malaysia in 2013 and got to see him play live with a double handed guitar. No camera tricks, just pure insane talent. I also got him to sign my Ibanez guitar and I remember him saying to me right before we took a picture, "I am endorsed by Dean guitars so you might want to cover up the Ibanez logo on your guitar when we take the picture". LOL. He is definitely one of the most influential guitarist to everyone out there who has ever held a guitar. Keep the great lessons coming.\m/

[@EricBourassa]

he is supremely underrated as a songwriter too

[@ssdravidian]

should i be doing both economy picking AND alternate ?

Thanks Michael, from another michael. LOL.

Mike was cordial and considerate and even went to the guys channel and left a nice comment. I could tell the “gentleman” learned the piece from bad tablature and not from using his ears and in fact it sounded wrong. Of course Mike praised what good he saw in the guy’s playing and was nice.

The emphasis on doing short loops to build speed and accuracy is the best advice I have heard lately. I’ve been trying that out on some things and it seems to work. I used to think going all the way across the neck was the supreme way. But, little did I know, it just slowed me down.

Michael, I'm a noise rocker who went from Vai to Ginn (Black Flag) back in the 80s and really didn't like florid guitar playing - however, I always liked you because I felt you went over the top into something beyond most "twiddle wizards". Now, I've mastered my "noise" guitar technique - and while I'm pretty good, I'm not bringing anything new to the table. So I come to you, in hopes that I can add some of your magic to my own and go beyond what I was capable of before. Thank you!

[@saibur7798]

Michael, thank you for this! When you're talking about how you hold the pick (38:00), you mention that you're left handed - and yet I can see that you're playing a 'right-handed' guitar. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! I've never heard anybody talk about this-ever. Lefty guitars feel absolutely alien to me. Righty guitars correspond with my hands and brain in a way that feels natural. I've been thinking this whole time that I'm either uniquely advantaged OR disadvantaged because I fret with my dominant hand, which is what most players use to pick. Would love it if you could talk about this some more.

[@JoeR203]

I don't always watch my picking hand, but when I do, I feel like I do it so that I'll know which strings the fretting hand needs to get to. I never liked watching players who stare at their fretting hand while they play. I don't need to look when tapping a harmonic. I don't need to look when changing chords. You should know where the hand needs to be to get the sound you want.

[@gregkunkel8704]

Thanks × infinity, after the last vid I tried to do the 1,2,1,3,1,4,etc differently inverted doing alt pick pull offs down to 1st str then sweep back hammer ons. I didn't realize I need to keep up the exercise always, not just a stepping stone

[@Greg_Chase]

You mentioned "Speed Kills" - I saw your playing first on Star Licks back when that first came out. At the time, legato was far more common; alternate picking was rare. I had seen Yngwie's band "Alcatraz" in Phoenix when I was a kid around 1982 or so; Graham Bonnet, a short-haired lead singer, and Yngwei, at a club in Phoenix. It was their first U.S. tour. At that time, "The Schoolboys" were the big band in Phoenix, and Rob Halford of Judas Priest, who lived in Phoenix at the time, would show up on stage periodically with The Schoolboys. "Breakin' the Chains" by Dokken came out at that time too, as did Helix' "No Rest for the Wicked", and Ratt's "Out of the Cellar." Anyway, me and my friends were right next to the stage in the small club where Alcatraz played. Yngwie's sweeps were new to us. But when I heard the Michelangelo Star Licks VCR tape (bought at the local music store), there was no comparison. George Lynch did a very decent alternate picking job on the live version of "Paris is Burning", the instrumental leading up to that song. But MAB's playing on that Star Licks teaching video. My goodness. You have to see astonishingly good players to know WHAT IS POSSIBLE. It was a blessing to recognize there was a deep well of future possibilities with the guitar. "Speed Kills" was good. But that Star Licks video was the first look, and I'll never forget it. Thank you for all the inspiration and great music!
