Hey Mike!! In 1995 when I was 18 I saw an ad in a guitar magazine for your Speed Kills on VHS. I then stole my dad’s credit card and ordered it from the magazine and also ordered your No Boundaries, Planet Gemini, Nitro OFR and HWDWS, on CD! I basically was waiting for that day when my dad would confront me about the incident but I guess he never noticed it! Poor old man, that’s what he gets for getting his son hooked on rock n roll! Been obsessed with your playing ever since. God bless! The old man is still around and doing well!

[@speed_metal3449]

Can you make a video of this one? or you didn't make it ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6HUqX17g9-Cmtk

[@trjb1767]

You are a gifted teacher

[@elderberry-hamster]

Could you imagine Michael playing Jack Black's role in School of Rock. Those kids would have gone ballistic with Michael's energy, chops and attitude!! He's the best at what he does and highly addictive!!

[@CalebePriester]

lol

[@vapporiesat3125]

i did the a-minor exercise during the length of this video and am now considerably fast. i went from no sweeping to medium sweeping in one hour. thanks micheal

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

That's great! I'm glad my lessons help you! There are many more on my channel and many more free lessons to come!

[@daverdz7348]

6:06 *My first arpeggio was like this... But you know what that was too kind, too gentle.... I MetAaAAaaAL!!!* Master MAB thank you for sharing with us, Is really nice just to watch you talk about what you love: GUITAR! You have such great energy and positive vibes. Keep rocking!!! 🤟🎸🎹

[@benny2899]

your one of the greatest guitarists i’ve ever seen, thank you for helping us out, much appreciated!🤘

[@symphonyofspeed3896]

I enjoy listening to him talk as much as I do listening to him play. What a legend!

[@ironchef2000]

Im 55 and you taught me more then anyone else has

[@riffdigger2133]

Extremely entertaining and informative. To give a dissertation over an hour LIVE, streaming consciousness, life stories blended with humor and wit, while playing guitar as well is impressive to say the least. Many a life lesson included with humility and sincerity. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed this. And benefited. A man of music, and the GUITAR.

[@denispolyanskiy9369]

Thank you, Michael, for your priceless lessons! I wish I can stay as active and full of energy as you are when I'm gonna be in you age!!!

[@dsennack7792]

Hey I just saw a reference to you in borderlands 3. There is a weapon called the shreddifier and its only description is ,,Speed Kills! "

[@Mike6StringsIn]

And yes, finally a sweep picking lesson I truly understand. I've watched others but they seem to want to give you a little information but demonstrate so as just to keep it out of reach. I'm not a pro, I'm someone who just enjoys learning and playing guitar and lessons that still have me searching in the end really aren't lessons. Thank you for having it all there to learn from.

[@rocko882]

Mr. Batio ! I thank you for the lessons . You truly are the man. My uncle was wright. He said lesson to nitro the band. Michael Angelo plays in it . I'm glad I did since 1986. I had my first lesson from Terry Peterson at guitar center in Kenosha wi. In 1987 . The rest of the story is all you. Thank you. Got to get that Saw tooth!

[@ChrisSnyderGuitar]

"It's 1.3 millimeters.... of death." Love this guy lol.

[@r.xstudios2391]

You have one of the most entertaining lessons ever! Thanks so much for helping us through quarantine with these lessons!

[@unsurprisingly]

Hello brother and once again we are blessed with you and your shred , much love from Huntington WV thanks again

[@SpiralDream]

These videos are giving me the motivation to keep practicing again.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

I hope I can motivate you to push yourself to reach new heights with playing! Shred on 🤘🏻

[@gonicjon]

It's really nice to see and hear you just being your real self, and freely sharing your time, knowledge and experience...we all appreciate it.!

[@roniemonte7120]

staysafe uncle batio keep rock in 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@davidcooke1972]

I'm 60 years old and can play quite fast with dreadful technique. Watching you has totally rejuvenated me. I feel almost born again. I wish I knew you decades ago. Much love. :)

[@glaurung8644]

To be honest even if I can't do any of this sweeps yet, even looking at you holding the guitar motivates me to grab mine and practice.

[@terrygrady7683]

Time well spent with the Master.

[@lopezarredondo7020]

Thank You for the master class angelo

[@beaupapin9305]

First time learning sweep picking... Thank you

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

I'm glad it helped you.

[@kempguitar6235]

You love guitar and speak about it, and we love you Mick

[@DanteBlack]

17:10 This is a sweep, this isn't Master of Puppets 😂😂😂😂 You're great Batio. Thank you for the techniques and making me laugh so hard, you Rock.

[@DanteBlack]

@Paul Murphy thanks mate. It's been months since I watched this lesson. Gosh, time flies. Maybe he edited the video and cut some part, making the length shorter and my "mark" wrong.

[@Dave2kool4skool]

I really hope someone joined the Livestream at 15:22 with no pretext and just left. No disrespect to Batio, amazing tutorial. Just thought that was funny.

[@NostalgicPerson11]

Dave2kool4skool your name killed it

[@Dave2kool4skool]

@@NostalgicPerson11 Plot twist, I'm in a Master's program.

[@lifeinlondon144]

mr batio thanks for the wisdom

[@MrGiorgioud]

I must say this musician is amazing! I have been playing guitar for 41 years and I am no slouch. I am usually not attracted by super-fast guitar (exception made for the pioneers like Alvin Lee, Eddie Van Halen, Allan Holdsworth,, Malmsteen, etc.). But Mr. Batio has a musicianship that is difficult to ignore. And he is such an amazing teacher as well. Musicians are really sensitive to the tone of voice. I claim that one can learn what kind of person one is just by hearing the tone of voice. And Michael Angelo‘s tone tells me he is e generous, humble, intelligent and giving man, almost to a fault. A great musician and a great person all around! I have just a silly question: is he wearing a wig or is this his real hair? Nothing wrong with wigs, you understand. Good enough for Phil Spector, good enough for anyone! His hair look just too thick and shiny for a 60-year-old, that is all....even if he was not predisposed genetically to baldness...

[@Ibaneddie76]

Thank you MAB, you've given some amazing lessons lately and I really appreciate it. I'll be buying one of your signature guitars when they are released.

[@ultrahighgain412]

Always a class act and a top notch guitar instructor. Thank you sir for what you do.

[@twoputt5]

Love the passion!

[@alexgherghina4081]

Michael, you really are, in my opinion, the best guitar player. And I also love your way of explaining things, very accurate

[@铁头娃-v5t]

thank u，love your lesson，love your music。

[@justino-pessoal]

It's always the best time of the day when I watch your lessons. Greetings from Portugal

[@Rajinish09]

One of the greatest guitarists..🤘🤘

[@imienazvvisko]

You're full of energy now as much as i remember you when you gave me keys to Lamborghini (which i pronounced wrong way before i got Speed Kills). Love you MAB.

[@CharlesEBusa]

Regarding the string dampener, I ordered two when GoDPS would still ship abroad (not to blame them. Shipping abroad can be a pain sometimes). Love them! Especially when playing live. No matter how clean and slow I practice arps, I noticed that I could still hear natural harmonics ring out whenever I lift my fingers off the 12th fret. This tends to happen with AP too. I think this is just what you get and have to get over when playing guitar with a decent amount of gain. I'm currently working muting a bit more with my fingertips whenever I play the string above, but I still get natural harmonics when I play string skipping licks that have notes on the 12th fret as my picking hand basically floats over my back pickup--kinda like sarod style--when I alternate pick, pretty much like yours. What amazed me is that I couldn't hear any natural harmonics ring out in your No Boundaries playthrough yesterday, and you didn't even have a string dampener on! Hopefully I'll get there someday too! Thanks again!

[@politicaloutsider413]

Mr. Batio is the coolest ever 🎸

[@MikeLozanoGuitar]

Thank you Mr. Batio, you are an inspiration!

[@Murphy_R9]

First time i ever heard MAB was back in 1982 on US Metal Volume II. He played a solo called "The Haunted house" To this day i love that intro and that entire solo! Hard to believe this many years have passed!

[@SoundingSix]

Thanks for hanging out with us during this quarantine! I bet there will be quite a few, future virtuosi in the making on the other side of the craziness. You rock MAB!

[@genesiskeglar6372]

dude u make me smile so much :D and im always learning

[@ericsalinas98]

🤘🤘🤘 keep on rocking

[@rcjward]

1:50-1:53 💙🤘👍 Michael, does sweeping “work” on acoustic guitar or without any amp overdrive/sustain?

[@KentRoads]

A lot quieter though...

[@unleashthefury111]

Hey Michael, can you PLEASE start using a different color guitar for these videos? The white is absolutely blinding! It's only really visible when you stand close to the camera. Thank you!

[@gaetanmottin1703]

buy a HD webcam please we can't see clearly , thank you for sharing

[@michaelblack5030]

What should I be looking for on the picking hand

[@cankoral8417]

Dear Michael, thank you very much. I appreciate it. That was very useful and enjoyable at the same time. I am looking forward for the upcoming lessons... The guitar you used for the video, is that the "classic alder body ES 60 series" or the basic "ES series"? I would like to know if the guitar is just straight out of the box or some extra work is done on the guitar like fret leveling, crowning and so on?

[@riclee8825]

Good morning, ran across some of your videos coupla weeks ago on KZbin, & have gotten hooked. I want to thank you for reviving my interest & 'fire'for playing. A question-:- do you, or have you ever played slide? Either straight or open tuning. If so, it would be extremely fascinating to see/ hear the mixture of your techniques combined w slide. Thank you again for the continued inspiration.

[@tommyfunk693]

When sweeping do you dig in2 the strings, or does the tip of the pick hits light on the strings with a tight hold of the pick?

[@bossdamol7348]

Hello my sensei.. keep safe love from thailand

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Hello Darius! Thank you, and I hope you stay safe as well!

[@bossdamol7348]

Yes we are safe here. I am going to practice sweep picking 1000x today on the G minor scale. ❤️ Iam your number 1 fan. I hope i can get a hold of one of your guitar lol that will be one of the happiest moment in my Life ❤️😂

[@orionsfire2000]

Hi Michael. I attended your clinic in Birmingham at the nick this year. I have a question: I remember you talking about picking hard but do you let the your fingers loosen a little when sweep picking so that the pick slides across or is it a really firm grip? I tend to hold my pick really hard most of the time but it seems like a little play works better when I practice sweeps. Or is that entirely controlled by your hand angle. I'm not per se moving my fingers just loosening grip a little. I'm still working on my thousand repetitions of the a minor arpeggios, but I have trouble cleaning up the descending portion of the lick.

[@DeadShred9]

I haven't tried to learn Sweeping yet but I'm guessing starting with 2 or 3 string Sweeps at a time would help build solid Technic ??

[@DeadShred9]

@Aaron Wells Thanks have 35 yrs playing but just for some reason never sat and decided I want to learn that until now . Thanks fr the advice ! Never to late or in my case old to learn something new to add to my style ..

[@lordlucifer]

29:43 lol, did a sweep hurt you....hahaha!

[@DeadShred9]

I went on the Official SawTooth website wanting to buy the Guitar MAB is holding ! It wasn't on there couldn't find it and didn't see but one other that interested me. But it didn't come with a Maple fret board which is my preference ??

[@Jets0105]

[@ScottfromBaltimore]

The string damper looks kinda like part of a piano.
