Awesome

[@aayushshrivastava8216]

Sir can you please teach us about your muting technique. I have been struggling with unwanted noise while bending the strings. Many tutorials on KZbin suggest to cover the strings while bend with my index finger, but they themselves don't do it. Thank you it would really help me out.

[@DEATHXn]

Your are the best guitariste ever. 🤘

[@cankoral8417]

yes sure!!! Coolllll!!!

[@ToneD5150]

Thanks for this post! Well done...!!!

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Let me tell you about the time I met the one and only Dimebag. My guitar tech said to me “Hey Mike, you gotta check out this new band.” And so I asked him “what’re they called?” “Pantera” he replied. “What the heck’s a Pantera?” I was very confused! “Bro, just come with me” he said. We ended up going to a local rock club to watch this unknown group. There was virtually no one there except for us. As I was watching the band, in awe of the awesome riffage that Pantera has to offer, Dime stops and exclaims “is that Michael Angelo? Bro, I’ve got your instructional video! You are like my guitar teacher dude!” Dime was an amazing guitar player but even more than that, he was an amazing guy, and that’s why the legacy of Dime exists. Not only was he an amazing player, but everyone liked him. He was one of the nicest people on the planet. This one goes out to my friend, Dime.

[@MonkeyWrenching]

Thank you for sharing this story, dime is my guitar hero and just seeing you’re doing a tribute to him brought a tear to my eye. Excited for this!!!

MAB, I'm so happy to hear this story. I always heard Dime studied your Star Licks tape, maybe there are recordings of him playing your tape somewhere in the Abbott vaults.

[@HivernaalChannel]

What a great story !

Dime was the complete package , but like yourself he was a very humble guy.

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial I was so disappointed back in 2012 when you went to Pearl Harbor and did a performance. I was on deployment and got back the following week. I was like I'm probably the only person on this base that even follows shred style players. Lol Awesome Video Brother! Dime would be honored.

The number of notes he played in his life is already greater than the stars in the universe 😂😂

thats a long time from now but he is the chuck norris of guitar,yes i went there

[@chrisbarnes7367]

I met Mr. Batio at NAMM in 2016, and he was easily one of the kindest, most approachable people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was cheerful and happy to talk. It was like running into an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Insanely talented dude, and extremely humble too.

Hey Garrett, tell your friend thanks for spreading the word! Dime was a friend of mine, it's unfortunate he was taken so young, but his legacy will live on forever!

[@iwatchtheanime279]

It sure will, i bought all of their records. Uncle was a HUGE metal fan, dad wasnt so fond of it thought. So i listened to pantera since a very young age, never got tired of any of their songs, Or his solos. Never got to see him live because i was born the year after he died, also a VERY big inspiration for my playing. Its really refreshing to see a living legend pay tribute to someone who had such a huge part in my life personally. Thank you, mr. Michael

You are truly something else to watch. I don't normally stop and watch guitarist on u tube but I came across one of your videos yrs back and thought, this guy has put some blood sweat and tears into what he's doing. Saying that, I'm glad that u put your time into this " Dimebag" video. I'm 56 yrs old, metal head sense day one and it still get my blood flowing hearing a good METAL guitar, thanks for the JAM.

[@RainStickland]

You're doing a seriously decent thing with all these videos. Thank you. I'm sorry you lost your friend. I'm also sorry about your sister. You've talked about her a couple of times, and you mentioned it was the anniversary recently, so my condolences, Mr. Batio. I know what it's like to lose everyone around you. The foundation disappears and it takes a while to come back. But you never stop grieving. Spending time with your nephew probably helps a lot, because I'm sure you see a lot of your sister in him.
