Michael Angelo Batio: Speed Lives

[@thenimblerider]

people coming back to this even in 2024 are the true fans….

[@yangoose]

🤘

[@dbassir87]

MAB is not just the speed king. He’s a good guy.

[@marcoangelocuasay2357]

YEAH

[@piocco7]

true.

[@JCrashB]

Jup.

I remember watching this video the first time around 2001 on my Pentium II PC, I found it in a CD of random rare videos in an era where Internet was not for everybody, I watched it and rewatched it and rererererewatched it for a countless number of times. Priceless era and video.

[@SOGNAMETAL]

@Antonio Riccelli The new generation can NEVER understand you and me, we spent some priceless times:-)

[@kydalchemy]

Lol I remember that era very well!!! I bought this from Metal Method for 56 bucks lol I applied for a credit card just to order it. But not online!!! Out of a Guitar World magazine! You got the DVD and one copy of the TAB 😂 My parents wouldn’t give me their credit card because if you remember in that era you speak of, online purchases were a sure fire way to get scammed lol. I waited 3.5 weeks and when it finally came I didn’t stop playing guitar for weeks. Skipped school didn’t go out, and I only learned it up to the neo classical section. I was also kind of bummed because I didn’t have a 24 fret guitar at the time so I couldn’t play exactly the same. Still was lot of fun!

[@Alejandro_87]

I first saw it in 2004-2005 in a cd-rom that came with a guitar world magazine

[@darthhater3989]

Same my friend.

[@alexojideagu]

I downloaded it from file sharing apps around 2003.

[@cocaccount1914]

that bend at 2:54 still gives me goosebumps after almost 2 decades

[@abhinavsingh1698]

fair nuff

[@jyl7081]

@3:21 also

[@yoelcapoful]

the most normal bend ever wtf

[@prakhar8]

​@@yoelcapoful exactly

[@JuhaniPaasikangas]

​@@yoelcapofulSometimes in music something just 'hits you' and feels good. Might be little things.

[@Bielanski-bandzior]

Number one guitar shredder of all time. No doubts.

[@jskypercussion]

He blows Yngwie and Petrucci away.

[@Brian-ti7xm]

He's a legend, but no one's number one at guitar. Today's living legends are incredible in drastically different ways. Check out Charles Caswell, Lucas Mann

[@marioburku-drummer]

His left hand work looks like E.Hondas hit combo from super street fighter 2

[@kennydunk]

Lmao

[@MinhAnhFromEarth]

Damn he's too fast I can't even see him switching guitars

[@jefferyo488]

Thanks for the laugh lol, I needed that.

[@nubinshred]

I second the previous reply. This comment made me laugh out loud

[@georgemonteiro1512]

Hope you play better than him for such a comment....

[@jimfromMaine]

Welp, this video conclusively proves once and for all who the world's best guitarist is. Way to go Michael!!

[@Uthrak]

This is one of the best lesson you can watch here ! His speed is legendary no words strong enough to describe it...

[@davidrae2716]

I appreciate this man to instructional videos on guitar lessons there's not many out there who can give them quite as good as he

[@metalhammer5]

I didn't know Nigel Tufnel got this good!!

[@DanielVerberne]

00:44 - Batio's picking technique ... man, where do you start? Firstly, his particular hand position, shape and economy of movement mean that it almost looks like he's gently scrubbing up and down the guitar strings. As for actual pick movement, it's seriously hard to see and that's testament (partly to the low-res video HA!) to his awesome technique. You know what I love the most about this piece and this particular rendition? Those blues moments with his pinched harmonics. Tasty.

[@rottenroth]

Batio is up there by the top shredders and has always been, broke alot of boundaries (pun intended also).

[@crazytrain639-cg8uh]

Clocking in at 216-220 BPM... has been recorded playing up to 275 BPM in a studio with Joey Demaio the Manowar front man.

[@allnostalgia7192]

One of my Hero.He is lightning fast and more to alternate than economic pickers.

[@wurzlgaming]

oh man , i always wanted this red /black dean guitar ... it looks so aweseome..still want it

[@zedddddful]

MAB isn't all speed he's also got a great ear for melody and a nice tone.

[@markmoore8197]

Man has no limits

[@kozuke1742]

i have to admit, i have played guitar for 5 years, looking at slash, zakk wylde, vai, malmsteen, ... i never watched him , i think i should x)

[@yika-xy]

Yup. I feel like I've discovered about M. Batio 20 years too late.

[@stojko7268]

Check jason becker

[@darksoulmusic6042]

this dude inspired me to give up on the guitar :)

[@NotTylerT]

2:38 - 3:30 best section

[@stephenwilcox1597]

His technique is legendary and good god i love the tone of a dean guitar

[@dieromance4752]

I play with speed 2x...is amazing

[@oliveiras6995]

hahaha

[@trashaccount8859]

Even in 0,25× it sounds fast

[@ryner5171]

By watching ths ...man m stoping my guitar plyng ..done

[@simonrandolf81]

Never give up. Remember its lots of practice and dedication and commitment. Thats the secrete of playing like him. Think of how many hours a day he did and I bet you anything he felt like giving up many a time.

[@TutorialesDANIPG]

2:16❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@eneapojani932]

thats my favorite part

[@PsmithNick]

@@eneapojani932 sounds like Castlevania

[@ManuelRivera-zi2il]

@@PsmithNick I think it's part of a Paganini Caprice or a Vivaldi song according to what I read

[@TheRick517]

How can he not be chosen the world's best guitar player?

[@channelkids8390]

He is one my best guitarist ever guys, he is from heaven

[@xbehemothx]

Nothing's even close. Alone in its tier, A Quadrillion quasars exploding don't top this song.

[@zademaaytah8100]

2:13 ughhhh man!!!

[@Tkbltkresor]

Siempre 💪🎸😎🤘

[@stevebelcher295]

Mr batio if you read this can you give info on first guitar you played here dean has no record of it and i have one it is exceptional this is the only other one ive seen

[@ahura_7000]

My god

[@vincent112233445566]

My man's just had a eargasm at 2:46 lmao

[@kurtjames9487]

I think his ears filled with fluid.

[@MZ99698]

I had an eargasm and an orgasm simultaneously

[@starlodear2987]

Is there any other guitarist that can play two guitars at once? And what about the reverse finger tapping?

[@SwedishMeattball]

Sure many a 8yo does on here its really not hard if you practice its not music either

[@stephenwilcox1597]

The reverse sweep arpeggios he does is insane

[@joshbrz8902]

I didnt notice he switched guitars until i saw the floyd rose

[@angkari7244]

is he improvising or reciting something he prepared a little earlier?

[@catherineearnshawheathclif866]

He is a terminator

[@jeffreyklaproth7794]

I like this dude but this is youtube so you have to rip on it. lol. The timing is off from the overdub and that hand slipping crap looks silly. He has some awesome guitar speed teaching videos that’s a must for any lead guitar player and totally worth buying. He gives you the keys to the Lamborghini. 🤩

Switching guitars faster than Ray Vaughan himself 😨😨😨

Chuck norris for guitr

[@cristianaranda1102]

😶

[@ImBryanCurtis]

is that bright red one a les paul?

[@scottwill19]

no. les pauls dont have that pointy tail by the fretboard. it seems to be a cross between a les paul and an ibanez destroy that dean created. weirdly enough they slapped the dimebag darrell style headstock on it for some reason which is weird.

[@coltsrule5150]

Not really. Looks like a mix between an Iceman and a Les Paul.

[@elijahkelley7616]

It's still badass, though.

[@ryanmaggard6548]

That is a lesser known model called the Dean Cadillac

[@tyorbs3680]

I like MAB but I hate Nitro

[@bobbylowery363]

Your wasting your time doing that hand slapping shit. Your good enough bro.

[@axlanzarrell9087]

1:41 Damn He Too Fast...I Cant Even See Him Switching Guitars...

[@sheepdavis]

1:55 is so obviously sped up

[@nixadventures3938]

Papa Disco watch his hair shake. His hands are capable man hahahaha

[@Wormweed]

lol. sped up... the guy is just crazy good. hes played it live countless times

[@ReizokoRyu]

You really are a sheep!

[@SwedishMeattball]

He can barely play his own song now he fucks up alot here if you know guitar
