Joe Stump-Neo- Classical Shredfest Number IV from the record The Dark Lord Rises

[@faculaya]

such an underated guitar player. I follow him since i am a teenager. one of the best not only because of speed and technique but i actually love his music!

[@jeffrowson8974]

Damn right !!! Try malmstein too! Joe sat eric johnson!!🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸.kids these days dont know good music!!

[@disintegrate]

I used to think so. Until one day I realized I can easily tell it's Joe and not Yngwie at all, while listening to mixed playlists involving both. Sure, Yngwie must have inspired Joe big time. But I'd say Joe managed to distinguish his style from a very dominant legend's. Not an expert myself at all, yet to me Joe sounds less complicated and more melodic with better defined switches between parts. Which I enjoy a lot. Thank you for all the good sounds you created, sir Stump@@johncash5940

[@MBA380Aviation]

He's definitely the better Malmsteen because a more precise playing.

[@gamingwithfalco17]

My guitar teacher had Joe Stump as a teacher at berklee. He said that “Mr Stumps fingers looked like they were floating” because of how good and fast he is

[@rhodeisland92]

After watching this I feel like either I should never pick up a guitar again, or never put it down.

[@scottwaszak698]

The best I've ever heard at this style. Simply astounding!!

[@TheKyros79]

That melody is pure fire.

[@adampaxton1937]

Just found this dude been binge watching his stuff. Dude literally shreds🤘🤘

[@doughall7973]

Me too. Shred rules.

[@ballbloo]

Absolutely fantastic, thanks Joe.

[@joestump1443]

Thanks aton I really appreciate it

[@squiddad1528]

Man, I so wish I could get even one lesson from him. I just heard of him actually and went through his entire discography in one day. I can't get enough!!!

[@enrath4078]

I’m actually his student and have been for a while. Dude is an AMAZING teacher. If you get the chance to, learn from him for sure!

[@RotterStudios]

@@enrath4078 can we online?

[@enrath4078]

@@RotterStudios You for sure can if you are a Berklee student. I'm not certain otherwise. I would email him and find out. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to you!

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Joe is a great guitar player with his own unique style and sound

[@IvanRx76]

I was looking for neoclassical guitarists some time ago and I found Mr. Stump...great discovery!!! Love his playing!!!

[@joestump1443]

Thanks a ton Ivan I really appreciate it

[@raskolnikov1873]

Joe is an amazing player. Very inspiring. His book on picking, called Chop Shop, is easily the best book on the subject. It's like my Bible for picking. His new book on sweep picking is just as good. Hope he does a tab book for one of his albums some day.

[@joestump1443]

Thanks a ton man - glad to hear the books are working out and you're finding them helpful

[@JagoAlessi.]

Joe, you're a really outstanding player. It was really inspiring to hear your beautiful execution of this piece. Love it.

[@frankv5819]

that riff at 4:46, fantastic! Best music for driving home after a long day! :-)

[@congorianso]

I've been playing guitar for over 50 years and I am amazed at your ability!

[@vitalygolub1937]

I love that Joe is a metalhead despite being a virtuoso neoclassical shredder. Its the whole song including the riffs, the main solos, and the in between solo breaks. Absolutely great stuff. Great example of Joe's overall capabilities in this one.

[@joestump1443]

Thanks so much for the nice comments I really appreciate it and yes I am a massive metal head

[@vanguard4065]

LEGENDARY SHRED MASTER!!!

[@mayorrodgers7446]

It's perfect playing

[@Matecrash]

This track is awesome.

[@WheresCloudy]

Holy fucking shit. Imagine setting up a camera, shredding 5+ minutes straight just casually, like this fucking guy. Oh my fucking god you are good, JOE. GOALS ASF.

[@TruthSurge]

Golden Buzzer! oh wait... it's not the Voice. But if it was The Guitar... it'd be a golden buzzer moment! hahah That was really satisfying to watch. The leg cross was so casual it was badass.

[@mrbobjrsrv]

Probably the only video where I watched his right hand more than his left hand. That picking technique is a work of art

[@andrewwilkes4714]

Joe Stump you will always be amazing,.I'm watching that young kid Max Osteo next...checkem' out Joe.😂😂😂😂

[@rickyjones7282]

Why isn't this guy more famous than what he is!!? Joe Stump is f#£king incredible!!!!

[@Kasper911band]

Ricky Jones timing is everything, it’s been done before, so, even though he’s great, no one cares who comes in 2nd place in the race. 😳

[@androidgameplays4every13]

@@Kasper911band People is missing a great composer, Stump is not a YJM clone, Joe have composed some original and awesome songs.

[@Kasper911band]

AndroidGameplays4Every1 I’m not saying he hasn’t, my point is it’s 2020,he’s probably in his 50s, and Yngwie did everything he’s trying to do now in his 20s! That’s what I mean about timing, doesn’t mean he’s not great, he just was first, now 36 years later, it’s not as impressive because like I said, it’s been done before,the world has changed since 1984

J' adore ! Merci !

[@juanmanuelavecilla7621]

My Idol . Ídolo!!

[@seanhunter5894]

Joe you're definitely one of the underappreciated all time greats! Love all your albums, but I gotta give you a special thanks for your sweep picking book - the best, bar none. Been working through it for a year and I just got to the excerpt for this song and I had to give you a shoutout.

[@seanhunter5894]

P.S. Everyone who says Joe's a Yngwie clone doesn't know what they're talking about. Yngwie's (obviously) amazing, but (to my ears anyway) Joe has a much more "rock and roll" rhythmic sensibility than Yngwie does. Can definitely hear the Blackmore/Uli Jon Roth influence in all your playing.

[@TheBrokenLeon]

Yeah! All the reazon

[@fabriceregnaut3540]

Superb , I think Yngwie is in the shade after this . The pickup selector is having a hard time though :-)

[@stephenhensley5631]

Why have I not heard of this guy and Max Ostro and I have followed guitarist since the 60s and I'm a player ??

[@minkorrh]

You weren't into Alcatrazz in the day. Seriously underrated player.

[@imlijc7588]

Phew...Good heavens.,...the guy is a beast also love the bluesy nc shreds in between...

Great playing Joe, from a fellow New Yorker. Saw you at BB Kings in Times Sqaure about 6 or so years ago when you joined Uli Jon Roth on stage but you blew your Marshall out pretty early and couldn’t finish the set. Thanks for all you do in the way of instructional books and videos. You rock dude!

Thanks Ewan , I really appreciate man , of course Yngwie is one of heroes and there's quite a bit of his influence on this particular track .

Joe's tone is the best ... The first time I heard 'that sound' was from Dmitry Varshavskiy of Russian band "Чёрный Кофе" (Black Coffee). I was given the LP album "Переступи порог" back in 1988 and now I've discovered Joe Stump who I really like.
