Think ya need to build those cords into horns. Wrap tape and paint. Incredible stuff and ya share it the man is not greedy with spreading his how to. Famous quote by one of my favorites is " I'm going to give you the keys to the Lambo" MAB N has been mesmerizing ever since I heard that. Keep at it I will watch everyone I find.

He's still got the keys to the Lamborghini ❤

After seeing MAB at a guitar clinic 10 years ago, the thing I remember most is his genuine kindness. Absolute gem.

[@williamriley462]

I have to agree with this 100%. Went to a clinic about 4 yrs ago and he really took the time with people after his clinic. Got a few pics with him.

[@davidcarroll8401]

i ordered some MAB merch and it was not at his event Mr. Batio personally came up to me got my address and a few days later i got my stuff along with a hand written thank you letter he is the most kind and down to earth musician i have ever met

[@Gerrys-Channel]

I also went to one a few years ago. Not just a great player, but a great guy.

[@dadkingcoffey8333]

I met him when I was 15 and had a completely different experience. He was a arrogant ass maby he didn't like kids or hers gotten more humble in his old age . Super munition though

[@mikef3855]

Very kind and all around great human being. That said, one of the most talented guitarists ever.

[@Redcattledog]

MAB, the only guy on the planet who could pull this off live in concert, and perfect!!

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Haha, thank you! The double guitar gets awfully heavy on my neck, but what can I say... I love to play!

[@Rwko.]

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial Imagine that being the problem, lol

[@randybeidelschies]

I saw Steve Vai play his double-neck 'heart' guitar live on stage when he was with David Lee Roth in San Diego back in '85 or '86. Can't say if he was 'perfect', but he kicked ass and was very impressive.

[@kasperchristensen8416]

I went to a concert with MAB back in 2009, and although he was shredding from start to finish he quite literally didn't make ONE mistake during the whole show!

[@soundzznetwork]

​@@randybeidelschiesWhy bring up another player on someone else's video?

[@yoitsmegabe]

I'm equally impressed at the playing and ability of his back holding up that thing for an entire song.

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

To be totally honest, the guitar is very heavy! Haha!

[@constantstudies]

@@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial as a silver lining i have to imagine stretching backwards against the pull of the weight to straighten your spine is really good for posture, pretty interesting. never thought abt that but that guitar does look super heavy! i play sitting down, it'd take me at least a decade to play this double guitar at a proficient level edit: wow at 5:17, some serious strength / forearm composure here

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Forget the skill, the dexterity, the coordinations, the thought process of coming up with, and composing this combination of sonic treats, key changes and time signatures, I just don’t believe my brain could ever work this hard to even think about/dream about doing this. There can only by one, double, mad axman! His name is Michael Angelo Batio.

[@SKRUBL0RD]

If anyone ever tried suing MAB for copyright infringement he can just say "yea but they only played that melody with 1 guitar"

[@ericchavez9168]

They should have had this guy on The Gong Show

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

What a beast...still releasing after all this time. Damn Michael, amazing shieet!

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Yes, there is much more music to be made!

[@fk9277]

I loved the mozart but i LOVED the trooper. The trooper is very special to me. I FREAKING LOVE MAB!

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

All amazing pieces of music that have inspired me!

[@ericchavez9168]

Cover songs aren’t inspiration. That’s called mimicry. I can do impressions of The Simpsons and Family Guy characters. Copying somebody else’s work is exactly that.

[@GhostifiedGhoulishness]

@ericchavez9168 Hate to break this to ya, but tons of artists are inspired by the music of artists besides themselves. Ghost got nominated for a Grammy for a cover of Iron Maiden's Phantom of the Opera. It is a really good cover, too. I mean, Phantomime only had 5 songs on it, but that Maiden cover stood out. Disturbed did an amazing cover of Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence. Maybe "liberate your mind" a bit.

[@Gregorypeckory]

​@@ericchavez9168What a brilliant insight; nobody has ever thought of putting down artists for playing covers before; so original and smart of you. Too bad you weren't around when Jimi Hendrix covered Hey Joe, All Along The Watchtower, and The Star Spangled Banner, or when Stevie Ray Vaughan covered Little Wing; if only your brilliant insight had been available to them at the time, it would have saved them the trouble and embarrassment of releasing those terrible cover songs; lowly mimicry. 🙄😁😜 Dummy.

[@scotthahn6666]

I met Michael Angelo Batio 30 years ago, in Erlanger Kentucky, at a Washburn Guitar Clinic. I got His autograph. He was intelligent, informative, honest, down to earth, and above all Kind! My 16 year old self, became a life long fan. My left arm got smashed in 2005, in Iraq U.S.M.C. I do not play so well these days, with permanent nerve damage. Thank You Michael Angelo Batio for being so real!

[@arthurblackhistoric]

This is the most incredible guitar-related thing I have ever seen in my 70 years of life, by a country mile! Michael you are one in a generation, no doubt about it!

[@barryhaynes103]

[@freethinkradio]

I remember showing a MAB vid to one of my lefty friends back in the very early 2000's. And they were like "Anyone can tap yo, this aint nothing special.." so i was like ok, DO IT.. So after we managed to pretty much tape my strat to an easel in a way that was solid and accessible enough for them to give it a solid go.They managed to go a full MINUTE or so before conceding "noman, thats nuts, your brain doesn't work like that...dudes got some skills.."

[@repentnow1720]

My brother and I were the first guys in at the NITRO "Blondies" gig in Detroit (HWDWS tour) - hung out w MAB and Jim for a while - they both signed by bother's "Z-Rock" T-shirt - He still has it! Good times! : )

[@mushroomlasers7470]

Not that the rest isn't, but when he goes left handed it's insane.

that criss-cross applesauce junk was insane!

Flipping and lifting it takes a ton of strength. That was the part that made me be like 😯 my arms were sore just watching it lol

Hey Michael... I will never forget meeting you back in I think 93ish Bedford UK... You held a masterclass in the upstairs of the pub .. awesome display of talent... I still play occasionally.. purely for leisure. Living your work dude ..

[@chrislawson7983]

Right brain left brain,training to do that is epic. Thanks, Michael and the band. Great work. I love what you do.

[@ArielBlackmore622]

I am left-brained, but I got used to playing right-handed guitar and now it is more difficult for me to play left-handed guitar, I am somewhat of an ambidextrous guitarist.

[@immanuelkuhrt8508]

After playing for 15+ years, I tried playing a left handed guitar. I was literally starting from scratch. My picking/rhythm hand had no fretting skills and my fretting hand had no skills in the movements for playing rhythm guitar, though I had also played various percussion instruments for years. Doing what you did there takes more dedication than most people probably realise.

[@Laurgal5]

YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!! Love that guitar, Mike! 🤘💪🔥🎸

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@zerovalon6243]

Michael Angelo Batio, " I am The Pick of Destiny!!" Also that capo switch up was amazing.

[@fordsrestorations970]

All my life I grew up with people that could do tricks , but I said "if Michael can play classical that would be the proof " ..sure enough he blew my mind with his excellent skills on acoustic. ☝

Thank you! I studied music in college and am forever a student to the craft. There is always more to learn about music & the guitar!

[@thoughtsbeforesleep]

You should check out his course on jazz progressions. Some of those chords tie my fingers in knots! MAB definitely has skills extending far beyond lead guitar shredding...

[@AhtuMondello]

I've been recording acoustic guitar tracks all day. Needed this. My brain just melted, and I felt whole once more, yet better than whole. Better than better. Thank you

[@baraharonovich2926]

What a man! Say what you want about the stage “antics” but the man knows more about guitar and music than 99% of the people in the business. A true master. Also he may not show it too much here but he’s exceptionally musical on his solo albums and other recordings he’s done.

[@osmaneker6015]

I am pretty sure, he can the play the piano perfectly. That's the only explanation for that left/right hand independence!! Such an amazing talent !

[@jurgenkalowski1442]

Yes he can, but he is a leftie so playing left is more natural to him than most people. I myself played classical music on piano for 7 years but playing a leftie guitar is just whole different universe, it's like starting to play guitar from 0, I tried it myself...
