Does it come with or is it possible to get Tabs Mike?

[@davidallen346]

Thia is the best sounding and playing guitar out of your entire collection

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

Dimebag used this in Domination

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

He studied this video. He told me so when I first met him. It was an influence on him. Thanks!

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

Michael Angelo Batio HOLY LAMBORGHINI!

[@dimedmn5302]

Michael Angelo Batio OMG!!!

[@fredrios1402]

MAB is absolutely amazing!!!... PERIOD...!!!

[@jaidinpineda9312]

My father Greg Pineda was elemental in the creation of this video! I remember you Michael sitting around the studio trying to get this off the ground. We would sit and talk metal together. Because my father wasn't a fan, but saw the value in the video series creation. Do you remember those days in Video Effects Group in Westlake Village?

_Sir, YOUR AMP IS ON FIRE !_ 🔥🎸

[@alexojideagu]

Paul Gilbert's picking style was clearly influenced by practicing Van Halen's Spanish Fly and Michael Angelo's Star licks. Paul's picking patterns are so similar to Spanish Fly it's almost identical.

[@breakingthelaw7974]

alex ojideagu and a lot of his style is influenced by Randy Rhoads playing

[@iganpparamarta8813]

He did mention it many times how much he was influenced by EVH. The picking-pull offs licks to be precise. While his trademark alternate picking from ‘intense rock I’ was from Al Dimeola which he also did mention in an interview. All of those are in youtube.

[@Kriegter]

It's most apparentl in frenzy and the extreme live solo

[@EM-zj1xm]

0:46 painkiller! Ok, not exactly painkiller, but that part in the Mr. Tipton' solo sounds damn similar to this lick. MAB inspired licks from 80's are all over the place now (same with other first great shredders)

[@timbutler6447]

I thought the same thing!!!

[@ODPTV1]

Lick definitely comes up in the solo in Throes of Rejection as well.

[@GremlinGatbuger]

MAB you are an absolute monster at guitar. I enjoyed every second of this tutorial! Thx for sharing

[@nicolasdelorenzini8222]

youre incredible and a very inspiring musician mr batio! i hope someday you come to argentina! my most sincere respect for you!

[@TheVintage1935]

Love that tone! Pick attack is ripping!

[@andyisalwaysanxious8599]

Very cool. You give us so much information in so little time. You're a very valued guitarist, man. Love learning from you.

[@alal6964]

Cool....great old videos...inspired me a lot🙏

[@daveparker4209]

Dude! I love this! I like how Michael say " this is lick #5" then bam! 500 notes in just a few seconds. Lol. He does an excellent job explaining afterward. Micheal you rock brother.

[@conpappas1066]

Great guitarist. Good teacher!

[@carminelombardi9575]

Holy Moley, you are amazing! ... thank you for being so kind as to help instruct us on how to train to play like you, even if i get half way there, it's a great place to be.

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

Mike please tell me you still have this beautiful MKI Ironbird.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Unfortunately, no. It was stolen a few years after this video was filmed. It was a great guitar!

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial That is just a tragedy, they are so rare, especially with the large headstock which they put on the Class Axe Platinum series.

[@alexojideagu]

3:48 Shawn Lane did a ton of these style licks. Would be interesting if this video influenced Shawn at all or he came up with it all himself. There are clips of him doing it at a very young age though. His powers of 10 Album came out in 1992.

[@stevewiseman8733]

ahhhh I used to get the tapes and tab in the mail!!!! Good Times!!! METAL METHOD!!!!

[@beedomguitars]

Love these old vids. Remember when I first heard no boundaries for the first time and it’s still my favourite guitar track ever. I still watch it all the time. Michael do you have any idea if you will ever be coming to the uk 🇬🇧. I’d love to see you play live. Hope your keeping well and keep up the live streams etc. There great.

[@user-ih8yt9mx8c]

WOW!! AMAZING

Here before 100 views!!!! Rock on my fellow guitarists!!!!!!

Only a true master could pull off that hair style. Seriously though, great lesson.

No doubt! :-))

Cara, tive que me inscrever no seu canal kkkkk. Eu não toco guitarra, mas já fiz algumas aulas e consigo apreciar boas técnicas. Obrigado por compartilhar seus vídeos!

You're welcome!

[@fuzzcous]

Awesome

[@StratsRUs]

Mighty Batio !

[@BA99253]

This one got me I was like I have to learn this. Upon downloading it holy crap Micheal how long did it take you to tab that? Lol I can tell you put some time into that.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Yes. I actually transcribed the booklet by hand. I learned music notation in High School (more in College) and at the time of this video, there were no software programs available for TAB. No software for pretty much anything! I was the only Artist that transcribed their own exercises and riffs for the booklet.

[@chrisellenback6210]

These videos are great!! Is there any way to still buy them?? VHS/ DVD??

Paul Gilbert used this in his song, “The Gargoyle”. I like to tell myself it was a tribute to you, Mikey! 😁

[@ΙδομενεύςΚαλιφόρνιος]

Do you ever use visualisation techniques to practice in your mind?

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Yes. All of the time. Not just on guitar, but in life as well. Thanks!

[@Abhi-ff2cr]

1:35 very good advice

[@tykit9230]

I had one of those Iron Birds in white

[@ayshortier]

Mike, I watch your videos on ocassion although I hit a plateau, but you should have Sawtooth Commercials on your playing videos, not the competitor.

[@ErikFrancisPereira]

👍👏👏👏

[@JustAnother_Irishman]

Mike when you stayed home all day and practiced the alternating lick did you use a metronome? Thanks for the inspiration.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

No. I didn't use a metronome to practice speed in the tradional way. I used a drum machine to practice timin, both rhythms and lead's, to beats. Much better and more fun!

[@JustAnother_Irishman]

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial Thank you kind sir. I think I may have the door to the Lamborghini open. Next step is to get her running. I hope some day you come to Ireland I would love to do a master class.

[@daverdz7348]

Genio!!

[@fireheart_7]

Michael Angelo, serious question, how does a professional player with so much theory knowledge keeps their sense of wonder playing guitar? For example, when an intermediate player improvises, they may stumble into a 'magic note' and that makes their day. A pro may just know to 'go for the 6th of the xwz mode' or whatever.

[@danielhorton9929]

How old were you in this video Mike?! You still have such great skill!!!

[@hjekr8]

30-31

[@exposedition6999]

Mr Batio every time I try tapping the sounds do not come out like the way yours did in this video, I have my overdrive on and volume up but the tapping isn't sounding like a solo

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

I didn't use any kind of string dampener or fret mute and I had an over drive pedal on when I played this. Try playing it very slow and use both of your hands to attempt to block the extra string noise. Thanks.

[@chrisellenback6210]

Can I buy this video anywhere??

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Yes. It’s my “Star Licks” video, available at www.metalmethod.com Thanks’

[@mayquelgil78]

Me recordó a Shawn lane

[@garetz2011]

He is a genius. I tried for a few years to play guitar but I was 100% talentless. I tried... hours and hours for months. He has talent.

Yes, it got stolen shortly after this video so I no longer have it.

Yes. I wrote that in the description of this exercise. Thanks for noticing!

More god than anything else!!! Sorry to hear that guitar was stolen. Still looking for the bastard that took the quad guitar to kick his ass.

[@srncet]

From 12th fret to 20 ... Insane stretch.... We would have to go hospital if we try this .... Dave mustaine will like this so would dimebag Darrel

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

12 to 19. Index is on 12 middle is on 15 and pinky is going to 19. Dimebag used this technique as well. It’s pretty damn easy actually.

[@srncet]

@@MrBiggysmalls87 yeah same one dimebag used in cowboys from hell solo in the mid section of the solo moving up the these frets ....

[@srncet]

@@MrBiggysmalls87 Melvin the Mop Boy yeah there is a slide from 19th to 20 and slide back back to 19th on every string so it becomes 12 15 20 and cones back to 11 14 19

Why...oh why... do all of these instructional videos have tons of delay/reverb/echo/what the fuck so ever...? /Rhetorical question/

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Can you hear every note? Are the explanations easy to understand? Is it entertaining? Back to your question. They don't have "tons" of anything on them. Listen to my solo albums as well - very minimal fx. If I like the sound and it's clear to me, I use it. Thanks.
