[@serginhodapeixeira4129]

Compared to MAB, Vai is a mere apprentice.

[@disco.lemonade]

What a source for that quote?

[@gsxerwhite]

john smith if I remember correctly it was a Vai video where he shows off his guitar collection and he had that three neck heart guitar with opposing necks and he talks briefly about MAB’s ability to play left and right handed.

[@innnews6299]

Panama, Eruption, Ain’t Talkin’ ‘bout Love, Jump, Unchained, and back to Panama, Runnin’ With The Devil, and Eruption to close. One word: Epic.

[@stuforty2]

yes he played it all so well too truly epic 😬

[@pabslondon]

I love the way the intro suggest hw is about to play Running with the Devil but he goes straight into Panama.. well played!

[@irmasil3]

If you ever wondered, THIS is how it feels to be able to play ANYTHING you want...like ANYTHING.. MAB doesn't only have high technical ability....He has ALL the ability anyone would ever want on the instrument. Literally, all of it. So he can do exactly what he wants with it. No more, no less. "No boundaries" makes absolute sense here.

For those who didn't notice, he is actually playing a much more difficult version of a lot of these licks PLUS his signature overhand style. MAB is a BEAST. hes the most under-appreciated guitarist in history. MAB should be a household name right up there with Hendrix

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Thank you!!

[@jmichelzzzboy]

Not only that..but he is a genuine great guy...you can tell how much passion he has when he is in a group setting teaching...everything he says is poetry to a guitarist. Check out the classical guitar composition he posted not too long ago...its mind boggling. This guy plays fast but he has total command of the instrument... beast is an understatement...keep it up MAB !!

[@scottishross91]

@ Hendrix has inspired far more guitarists than Johnson, regardless of "who's better". Hendrix innovated and his rhythm playing is absolutely killer. Johnson is a great guitarist and should be revered, but play the general public a Hendrix song vs a Johnson song, and most people who prefer Hendrix. He just has this feel and groove that few can compete with. That being said, this is all opinion.

[@wahwahgaboor]

Bear in mind Jimi changed the game in the early rock days plus wrote some pretty flipping outstanding tunes...plus he was a black man and dropped when the white boys were populising the blues to white audiences...a lot different to the shred legends of the 80's even those as mad as MAB :)

[@serginhodapeixeira4129]

Actually Hendrix is nothing near mab.

[@arififtianto8465]

He is

[@Chretze]

Met him live about 9 years ago. Absolutely amazing guy. He traveled without bringing his guitar or amp, he performed all his clinics in music stores that had his Dean Guitars MAB 1 in store and some Marshall amp and he just used that. He only had to bring one of his double guitars. Needless to say, absolutely amazing performance. AND he signed my guitar.

@@wwattanapanich271 Guitar God really? He’s incredible and amazing, up there with a 100 other great players. Why do we need the hero worship? What’s he’s playing is not that difficult. It’s all about practicing and execution. Why subject everyone and MAB to that indoctrination? Remember that forced indoctrination renders cognitive ability inoperative whenever their god delusion is challenged. You will get nowhere. If theists were influenced by fact, 
evidence, reason, logic and reality, 
there would be no theists.

[@cooleddown5150]

I think the reason why he us not under G3 so far is because Mike aint that known for live improvisation and G3 has a good 40% of the show about that. Nothing about being a lonewolf in your craft!

[@BenjaminWoods]

This is a fantastic arrangement! And I love how you managed to do all the EVH parts complete justice whilst simultaneously injecting your signature MAB-ness into everything.

I was fortunate enough to see MAB on tour with Nitro and got to meet him after the show. This guy is the most humble, down-to-earth guy ever. I stood in awe watching him play. I was in my 20s at the time and had been playing guitar for a few years. Watching and talking to him was such an inspiration that I was determined to take my playing to the next level. My “holy” trinity when it comes to players has always been Eddie, Vai, and MAB! Such a shame Eddie has left us but MAB has honored him time and time again with these videos. This dude should be a household name. God bless you MAB!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Mike6StringsIn]

In 1978, I opened up this album from this new band and put it on my turntable to play. My jaw hit the floor. You're performance here was stellar. Walks away from the computer screen with jaw dragging on the floor. I don't know if people realized this when watching you but, you just do not get to see guitarist of your caliber up close where you can watch each and every detail of their playing, fretting and picking, like this.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Thanks Michael.

[@jmichelzzzboy]

This is incredible on so many levels..... i cant even get my head around how he composed the seamless backing track.... and then there is composing the whole lead and vocal parts on guitar!! I am sure even Eddie would be impressed by this; but there is a flavor that i picked up on in the eruption part.... he also incorporates the style of randy rhoads.... which is remarkable: also the sweep picking part during the keyboards in jump....incredible; this guy is such a humble guy too.

[@michaelkeiffer5934]

I don't care for his playing, but I'll admit he did bring shredding to the masses. Everybody knows what a guitar shredder is regardless of what they listen to and they all know the name Eddie Van Halen. My thing is just that he always played the exact same way with the exact same upbeat, pop phrasing. He and Randy Rhoads were the first true shredders and both developed tapping at the same time completely on their own. Eddie did it with his middle finger and randy more rapidly with the edge of his pick. Randy was better and his playing over a few years showed more musical ability and equal if not better technical ability. He never got to live a full life having died at 22 years old. If he would have lived he would have developed and grown constantly as a guitarist. Never playing the same thing twice. Eddie Van Halen stopped developing the second they blew up and has just played the same shit for 40 years. Still does. He has been addicted to drugs at times where he couldn't pick up a guitar and play a single lick. He and randy are like a model and an athlete. They both look like the pinnacle of performance, but only one actually is

That is incredible! Electric guitar playing has come a long way to give the guitar and its music individual identities to stand head to head to other conventional solo instruments like violin; this could not be possible without talent, devotion and passion of masters like Michael A Batio, EVH, Al Di Meola, John Mac Laughlin, Eric Johnson and many others that evolved improvised based formless rock music into academic music entity. Funny thy, when I watched MAB instructional VHS tape, years ago, at first I thought video tape was copied in higher speed, took some time to realize that that was really happening in front of the camera! I completely blew away by his incredible precision in high such speed picking and synced hands techniques. I'm so glad to see him still up there where he was even in this era.and yes, he is one of the most underappreciated guitar players of all time but I am pretty sure he doesn't care, and that's good. Cheers!
