Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/ryanssynthwaveguitar I have plans for movie soundtracks, game soundtracks, and things I cannot post here. First 100 Synthwave Warriors will get a handwritten postcard from me.

They always said, the best guitar player in the world is not in some band.. is not famous in any way.. it's some guy sitting at home and just jamming out passionately

[@RyansSynthwaveGuitar]

Wow, I'm speechless....Thank you so much mate! :D Edit: Just to state the obvious, I'm definitely not the best player in the world and still have much to learn on guitar. I just love making music and having fun playing the instrument. Thank you all for the kind words :D

[@davewaveradio390]

Easy pal, he’s good and it’s a solid tone but his delay is doing a lot of the lifting here

[@Nivomandasrail]

That's a very nice thing to say and I don't want to be rude here, but I really hope you weren't trying to say this guy is the best guitar player in the world. That would be absolutely absurd and disrespectful to the people who have actually mastered this instrument. This guy is good don't get me wrong, he's much better than I am, but he's simply improvising over a pre-recorded song that someone else wrote. He's doing a great job but it's clear he has nowhere near mastered this scale let alone the entire instrument. I'm 100% sure he would admit this himself as well. He just didn't want to shut down your compliment because it was a very flattering and nice thing to say.

Good Freaking Lord....I have one word to describe this performance....P-A-S-S-I-O-N!!! That was, by far, the absolute best performance you have ever done in my opinion. So much passion, so much energy, it took your breath away as well as mine. OMG that was beyond awesome. If I could smash the like button more than once, it would be smashed every second every day for the rest of my life!

This one of the best things I have ever come across and a huge impact on my style of sound. I came across this video a few months ago and since then I have been obsessed in trying to mimic this kind of guitar style. So for that, I thank you my dude. This is truly an inspiration to the way I play guitar these days.

This was a good damn cover, with the sound of the guitar blending in quite well and almost perfect with the song. Amazing work man! Keep it up! And long live Retrowave!

[@RyansSynthwaveGuitar]

Thanks dude, if im honest, my mixing wasnt the best here and I should've let the sax ring out by itself haha. Feel free to check out my latest videos. I just put up another FM-84 improv 😊 I think ive learned to blend my guitar better.

[@samy29987]

@@RyansSynthwaveGuitar I see your point though; the sax solos are indeed what make The Midnight songs stand out from the rest of Synthwave bands and artists and letting it breathe on its own or with very subtle contributions with your guitar would have been more appropriate. But I still think your guitar blended in very very well with the song early on. I still think you put in a lot of passion into your playing too, wich shows that you really love Retrowave and the whole genre which I respect. Keep it up man!
