Attention to all haters! This guy is totally real. I saw him in the early 90's. He was in a band call Nitro. It was in a club in Cleveland, Peabody's I think, anyway you know the crowd, the first 30 rows of people all dudes standing there with the arms folded with the Im better than you attitude. Then this guy comes on and starts cutting heads, oh it was bloody, this guy killed everyone, I just stood there in amazement, this guy is a freak of a guitar player. Best live guitarist I've seen live. Period. BTW the bass player was also the best Ive seen live. His name is T.J. Racer and he should be known far and wide. Im a guitar player and I bought a black precision bass because of him.

[@Juggy113]

Dude you added more to his legend with that story.

[@GrantH]

Racer was a good bass player? I never would've guessed, he was totally buried on the first Nitro record, it's like he wasn't playing at all.

[@GrantH]

***** They were formed with the intention of being completely outrageous. Clearly the fact that the band was never meant to be taken that seriously passed over your head completely.

[@jims3666]

he sounded like someone was strangling a cat.....sorry, sorry, sorry I couldn't resist that. That's my standard answer about singers. Gillette was a monster. Prowled the stage tons of high range screams and badass singing in the normal ranges as well. The deal with these guys is they were all headcutters. I cant think of anyone I saw live who were better than these guys. It was an hour and a half of the most intense ass kicking music possible an onslaught of wizardry and bombast.

[@TheLightweaver777]

The vocalist for Nitro is/was a dude named Jim Gillette. His vocal training videos are also produced by Metal Method (or they used to be, and I can't be bothered verifying that at the moment), and his Halford-esque scream is amazing. Also, Jim's married to Lita Ford.

He mastered what every speed obsessed guitarist in history has attempted: economy of motion. His muscle memory via repetition has likely never been equaled in the guitar discipline.

[@bstnlcge2662]

You really need to go check some technical death metal guitarists. Christian Muenzner for example. MAB is obviously a master of fast and clean playing with great economy of motion, but this is far less impressive nowadays than it was before. He's sadly always lacked the skill of creating great melodic lines.

Michael is a well known musician don’t get me wrong but he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. People have no idea how many hours you have to put in every day for many years to play this fast cleanly and on time. We’re talking 8 hours a day for 15 years and all the other time free time you have is studying music theory. When I was really practicing guitar and in bands I spent an average of 4 hours per day for a few years and I never got anywhere near his playing. Even though I practiced 4 hours per day it was amazing how long it still took to get better at any one thing. I put in hours each day for months trying to get my sweep picking skills up I did get much better but I couldn’t get the speed up fast enough it wasn’t until I learned a better technique from some random guy on KZbin who doesn’t even have many views and within a week I doubled my speed. I spent tons of hours going through youtube watching sweep picking videos and taking lessons from different teachers but non of them taught this and I think it’s because most people don’t even realize they do this. All it was is after you sweep one string you don’t take your finger off that string you just take some pressure off it’s just like rolling your finger on one fret to pick 3 different notes and that’s what the trick to playing fast and clean. The only reason I say this is the amount of time and dedication it takes. Rock on Michael

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

MAB has a degree in music theory.

[@mrmacfuc]

Shred sure is a form of art - play smart, not necessarily as hard. Self-awareness saves some time yet experience is always welcome. As you said, many of the pros can't necessarily convey their skills to the masses proficiently enough as they just "do their thing". Mike said someplace that he had his picking figured out in "couple of" years at the age of 15 or so (ball park). Undisputable though that it takes hard practice and "talent". What counts most of the phrases here is the economic (efficient) motion of your picking hand and awareness of the pick position. Left hand stuff is important as well but most people are limited by their picking hand as they can play decent legato. To conclude, yeah, this is definitely extreme level of brute force picking, and I do appreciate the sound of it over legato. Comes to preference. Mike sure is a living legend as you stated! Rock on, dude!

[@peanutbutterisfu]

@@mrmacfuc well said.

[@alcesarloqueesdelcesar1236]

ta bien

[@lt7114]

This is absolutely not true. I mean, yes you have to practice diligently, but with persistence you could probably learn how to shred fairly well over the summer. Really, MAB is mostly about picking speed and fairly easy sweeping technique - not that difficult to learn. Someone like Michael Romeo or Jason Becker style of playing, that's going to be a lot more effort and finesse. Music theory? What's that? No, you don't need to know jack shit about music theory. Just pick up and play and after a while you should be able to figure most stuff out by ear.

[@amirpers]

To all the people that say that he doesn't play with any feeling or there is no point in being this fast, you are probably not musically trained. If you are used to listening to fast music you are actually able to distinguish the notes that he is playing even in his fast mode. Not only he is incredibly fast but also there is subtlety and sophistication in the melody and the notes he plays. The passages themselves are extremely diverse and span different styles. Most people cannot distinguish between notes at that speed so they just deem it without feel. I mean it is okay to not understand this style or like it but when you put your subjective opinion as an objective fact and criticize nonsensically, you are just making a fool of yourself

[@amirpers]

@@jerbear97 I like the fact that the only thing you payed attention to was the choice of my words and not the actual meaning of what I said. It is exactly like listening to this music and only noting on the fact that it was fast without paying attention to the melody

[@reynaerd9741]

[@mrinanis1976]

Great lesson easy to follow.

What lesson? Where?

[@MoonGables]

the algorithm wants us all to see this shred lol

[@songokulul]

They want to give you the keys to the Lamborghini

[@Martin1519]

I've seen this video a million times and it still blows my mind every time. this is one of the best all time guitar solos is HISTORY in my opinion!

[@jomngail6176]

Him: im going to give u the key to lambo My guitar : please no

[@BenjaminLemons]

Please yes

[@mikedixon6452]

Why are all the comments from like an hour ago on a 12 year old video?

[@AzNpowangeFTW]

youtube algorithms are very interesting, everyone sees the same stuff? prolly

[@toddlerwipes]

I actually searched this to see if I would get my keys.

[@ojusnarawane]

For some reason this video opened for me too with newest comments first, you can change the sort order

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I never got it in mine, though I watched the video many years ago so maybe it skipped me for that reason.

[@afroafroguy]

Still waiting for those lambo keys Michael...

[@aidanbrooks771]

arent we all lol

[@Luginiguitars]

I bet all the haters played or Tried playing some of his stuff to say negative comments about him, MAB is so complex and very hard to at least play some of his licks. one of the greatest, the very best at what he does, and Yes he does offer the keys to the Lambo....

[@frozendivots1564]

The most talented guitarist ever. Plus, he’s a great person.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

I got to meet him at a guitar clinic back in the early 90's and yeah-super funny and kind guy wuith zero ego. He loves to teach and encourage people, too. He spent more time asking people to come up and play and helping them with their technique than he did showing off his stuff. Just a really good dude.

[@noboru5138]

Most metal guitarist are very chill especially syn for me

[@SudipBishwakarma]

I haven't still found the keys to the Lamborghini!!

[@roadtonever]

He's a fine guitarist. Haters gonna hate.

[@lethayle3388]

Yes he is incredibly fast and a technical player. He lacks emotion however which is much more important to enjoy music.

[@roadtonever]

@@lethayle3388 Maybe for you. I'm more impressed by individual style and discipline.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Good guitarist, fucking weird ass persona though.

How many people who bought these lessons, actually had a guitar with enough frets to play the lessons in this video??? aka nobody. MAB is a genius and a GOAT shredder!!

[@BattousaiX333]

Along with Paul Gilbert, Yngwe, and Satrioni

[@bassprofishe1549]

I watched this vid in like early 07 for the first time. And I just noticed today that guitar has 29 god dam frets

Ive been waiting 25 years for my keys.

[@crackedsystem2158]

This isn't a guitar, it's a fucking weapon

[@gulthepilot]

Lmao...

[@gweschuck]

Having seen this clip many times over the decades and just now realizing that is a 29 fret guitar. I guess I was too mesmerized by the insane speed. Its hard to see the details when the lambo is going by at 280bpm.

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

Everyone loves a guitar that has two octaves on the fretboard that you have to intonate for. What an asswhip that would be to tune, intonate at 12, and intonate at 24. I’m guessing that he doesn’t even give half a shit about intonation between 24 and 29 because no one would ever be able to tell it’s not since he does 34 notes per string every half second.

[@Crunchifyable2]

Damn KZbin video that's 16 years old. Pretty soon it'll be old enough to drive

[@kenjicarlos8402]

It is 😭

[@johnnorcross6256]

It may have been uploaded to YT 16 years ago, but the original video came out in 1991... it's about to go through a midlife crisis...

[@TimTranGuitar]

What Happen to the Comment section now?! I revisit this video just to find how toxic everyone has become!?!? MAB is a great player, with Pro-level mastery over all techniques on guitar, speed is not his only attribute, for his sense of rhythm, melody and also harmony arrangement is top notch too, (I held a Bachelor degree in Songwriting/Composing and Music Production so I know what I'm saying). Besides it is a Heavy Metal genre, You can't expect SVR's Laney type melody here.

[@kunoichirecords]

@Khalez cap, i'm heavily into math rock and midwest japanese shit, the people here either don't play guitar or are jealous as hell because MAB is legendary. trying to shit on this dude is just clown behaviour

[@elguero933]

LOL best comment ever, so true

[@kronictonic]

Yeah I noticed the toxic comments too, I don't understand it. I came back here after seeing him on Rob scallions channel and he's such a lovely guy with it

[@moonsmonsters]

Ten years later, I still don't have the keys to the Lamborghini

[@The_Black_Vegeta]

its been 15 years since i first saw this. It still blows my mind. and, I still suck at guitar

As Michael says... practice, practice, practice.

"I give you the keys to the Lamborghini...but they are locked inside a safe, hanging on a lake of fire, surrounded by dragons, with hundreds of snipers all around the lake. Good luck in taking them."

[@AlexanderTheGreek]

Ha ha , nice

[@Madman6505]

Haha! He might give you the keys to the Lambo, but you still have to pay for it! With a bazillion hours of practice, that is. Dude is amazing.
