Seeing old videos of Richardson in his bedroom jamming Petrucci solos and him now on stage shredding with John himself makes me extremely happy!

Exactly what I am thinking!!! He is playing with his God... I am so Happy for him, he worked his ass off for this! He deserve every second of It!!!!

Tony kills on guitar AND keyboards! His keyboard chops are remarkable. He's ou of this world!

@@PhilosophyofGuitar I don't know why, but many say Steve Vai is way more technical than Tony Macalpine. I love Steve's chops, but I think I have to disagree on that

Nice to see Jason’s improvisation improving. Watching this dude grow since his Born of Osiris days is a joy to see.

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

Ambiguous Fox he listened to the critics. This is what makes a real musician! He knew his weakness were improv but he learned from it. You have to if you're with phenoms that can play slow emotional songs or super fast licks! Looks like rust was trash this time.

[@mrtalkative91]

I have a friend that actually went to a guitar camp with Jason years ago. if you search "jason richardson trivium solo", you can find a video titled "trivium solo" and its my friend playing with Jason back when they were like 15 or 16

[@jacobogden6710]

Funny enough, he used his solo from the polyphia song he was featured in to end his improvised solo. The last 15-20 seconds was the exact same solo as that.

[@arcadedomination8006]

When you thought these players had soul... Rusty comes along and reaffirms it tenfold by playing absolutely soullesly, making the others look even better by comparison.

[@sultanmamat7661]

All the players displayed their prowess and proficiency on their guitars of choice. Rusty perhaps was nervous..maybe.. since he's sharing the stage with all those other great players especially Tony MacAlpine and John Petrucci etc. I bet anybody would be nervous probably. Imagine your guitar heroes invited you all of a sudden to do an impromptu jam onstage..and they're some of the guitar heroes that you look up to..definitely you'd be excited..and nervous as hell at the same time once you set foot on that stage. I respect them all in this vid. Because each one of them has something to offer in terms of playing styles and so on etc. Love them all! 😎🤘🤘🤘❤

LOL The end of Jason's solo is from his solo off Polyphia's 'Nasty'! Incredible xD

[@girishverma6582]

The more fascinating thing is.....nasty is in a different scale than what they played in the video....so Jason had to arrange notes he played in nasty solo in the scale used in the video...amazing innit

[@jacobogden6710]

Girish Verma, same scale, different key, so the fret spacing is the same but the placement on the fretboard is different.

[@an_38kitkashyap]

@@girishverma6582 it's not super hard if you're familiar with the scale played here. After learning Far Beyond The Sun, I tried playing it in the key of a minor. It worked perfectly.

I can't find anyone better than John Petrucci itself to be honest in the begging to there was a soul taking birth but suddenly it started to fade ... This is why John Petrucci stands still outstanding for making music. And rest of those guys were totally .... IDK ... Except bassist no one really didn't anything big or soulful.

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

Lol be lucky Al di Moela was just a guest and had to leave! The dude makes Vai, satriani, and malmsteem sweat! Patrucci is magnificent but he's nowhere near Al di Moela!

[@RealDeathMetalLover]

Dude Tony MacAlpine has done a lot of music, he's one of the most respected guitarists and composers out there, he has a ton of solo albums (Maximum Security being one of the best), has been in many bands like Planet X and PSMS. His Solo was very good here and you can tell the guy is a monster improvising and has tasty phrasing, Petrucci is awesome but I prefer Tony a lot more!

Hang on a second!! Did Jason just tease Nasty by Polyphia here? 10:07 - 10:40. If i am correct i think he is playing exactly the same solo as the one from Nasty, just in a different key pherhaps. Seriously go listen and tell me what you think o.o
