New video LIVE (Top 5 Most Eccentric Shredders) :: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafbqqVvlKuae9E

[@GabAssbreaker]

Everyone always praise Michael Romeo for his soloing skills, but the thing that i love the most about the guy are his molten metal riffs, Symphony X is so damn heavy.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Romeo writes the sickest riffs. Plus he is the #1 metal shredder.

[@bcbitchkkv]

And his beautiful clean guitar sections! The Edge of Forever alone, man... but Candlelight Fantasia, Divine Wings, Accolade, Communion, Lady of the Snow, A Winter's Dream, the man writes just as beautiful clean guitar riffs as Petrucci while writing arguably some of the best metal riffs ever, let alone his melodic motifs.

[@PabloJ1968]

I was about to write the same.

[@supermahmoud]

You're absolutely right, plus, he's the master composer of the band, almost all of what we hear from Symphony X is his craft, he composes everything from drums to keyboard sections and most importantly All the orchestration!

[@alexcruba4928]

It's exactly the same reason why I think Jørn Viggo Lofstad (Pagan's Mind) is so brilliant. ;)

[@Lee-mp3pk]

None of these guys are underrated, they're just not mainstream. Anyone who loves guitar playing rates these guys highly!

[@rubenbarni2977]

El mejor comentario... Comparto y opino exactamente lo mismo q tu. Un saludo... 👍🇦🇷

[@paulpaid]

The concept is that thay are underrated by the general public, not guitar players.

[@indi__]

"Shawn Lane, the most terrifying guy of all time." - Paul Gilbert.

[@ghostwriter1415]

Chris Impellitteri - Speed Soloing.

[@GoatMee]

Truth

[@IbrahimAhmed-zi5bw]

Ahhh Shawn. What a class act. R.I.P. Maestro.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Since I finally stumbled on Roy Marchbank, there is another.

[@u.v.s.5583]

@guitarszen Many players did. Holdsworth was a great one.

[@flame-sky7148]

I saw Shawn play live, and met him. What a sweet guy he was. It’s criminal how he was virtually unknown. I used to give away his cds to people who didn’t know him. This was before social media. They guy could play on keyboards what he played on guitar. Genius.

[@FLOURISHFAMILYENT]

Yea Shawn Lane was not human. A true legend

[@dagoelius]

Tony MacAlpine in another one. His chops on piano are just as formidable as his guitar playing.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Oh yes. I find his music extremely tasty.

[@dougcronkhite2113]

He's actually a better piano player than guitarist.. Tony is an amazing musical talent, and a SUPER nice guy.

[@Lee-mp3pk]

Good shout!

[@linoruggero]

Tony MacAlpine Is the Maestro

[@ricowhoo1313]

And Nili

[@zedddddful]

Michael Romeo has it all sick solo's and face melting vicious riffage and an awesome composer to boot.

[@CrebleStar]

Michael Romeo is not only one of the best shredders of our time, but he can also pull out some of the heaviest riffs with a Dime-esque tone that gives the more heavy nature of Symphony X. Always loved his playing

[@TheCyberMantis]

Romeo is like Dimebag, Yngwie, Jason Becker, and Randy Rhoads all rolled into one. Romeo is #1.

[@VynxeVainglory]

He also writes most of the genius music in Symphony X.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@VynxeVainglory That is true.

[@Kytchos]

That guy is out of this world

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

@@TheCyberMantis not even close, no one is in the same league as Buckethead.

[@Matthew-le1eq]

Got to see Symphony X recently,and I was amazed ! Michael Romeo is “The Maestro!”

[@debuhokontra2006]

What seperates shawnlane with other shredder is playing the notes with so much emotion, its always story telling

[@cellulose6322]

Phrasing makes all the difference

[@albertodesantis739]

I know, right!! Would you say he was better than Guthrie Govan? Or Matteo Mancuso?

[@thatsamazin-]

@@albertodesantis739 At that level, there really is no “better”. They are all very different so the only “best” is the one that’s your favorite. Mine is Max Ostro. People love to point to “busier” guitarists and assume they are better because they are more “active”. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Max is the perfect guitarist for my ears because he doesn’t overplay. When he plays lots of notes, it has purpose and direction. It rarely sounds like noodling exercises or mindless shred. It’s meaningful and memorable. He doesn’t have an overly aggressive attack like so many others, imo. It’s subtle, smooth, and tasteful.

[@MrClassicmetal]

Greg Howe is a beast! And he plays with other great musicians like Dennis Chambers, Tetsuo Sakurai, and Victor Wooten. The man is versatile.

[@facemelters]

100% - his stints in Howe II and Maragold were my favourites, got to love Jump Start as well. Thanks for watching!

[@scottwaszak698]

And Richie Kotzen 🙃

[@gun_toting_lefty]

@@facemelters OMG! I would love to have a Maragold follow up. His playing along with Kraus' vocals? What a match.

[@shadownet_nft]

Love Greg Howe! Feel baby ❤️

[@asegal4677]

For me, one of the most artistic players in his genre.

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

Shawn is in a class of his own

[@mykuntstynx9463]

​ Allen couldn't pick like Shawn

[@danicaraballo]

Ron and Shawn, clearly are beings from another planet :)

[@FlecheDeFer]

Romeo is basically Malmsteen but with a good heart

[@mirokratmusic5526]

Greg Howe is a giant of guitarism! Love him and his inspiring music!

[@facemelters]

Amen to that!

[@geraldsantanaleitner6890]

Also underrated and great musician is Vinnie Moore for me. But Matteo Mancuso is the new part of music history for my taste.

[@geraldsantanaleitner6890]

Also surprised for me a New EVH his name is Jacob Deraps. Great musician on guitar.

[@matttucker4269]

I think Vito Bratta and Chris Poland are really underated.. my favourite two guitarists...

[@43captrexkramer]

Especially Chris, Return to Metalopolis is epic.

[@aaronkristo858]

Vito is generally regarded as one of the best guitarists from his era. I wouldn't call him underrated.

[@BURNOUT3272]

I love both those guys, but they are well known compared to these players

[@susanglthonger5184]

I pray vito come back one more time

[@asuperstraightpureblood]

Mine too, I'll put Chris first, and add reb beach after vito

[@ChicagoRob2]

Matteo Mancuso - gifted beyond words.

[@facemelters]

Wow, indeed! Similar to Andre Nieri with the finger style playing. Thanks for pointing him out to us.

[@scottwaszak698]

Yes! Greatest technique I've ever seen.

[@mohammadal-yatama122]

Agree. That picking style and his approach to using it is nothing short of pioneering a new frontier too. Its as big a step in a new direction as the invention of tapping or tremolo arm dives. I believe it will in the long term have a dramatic effect in how virtuoso players approach the instrument.

[@tusotusin]

@@facemelters Mancuso and Nieri are beasts! But not underrated at all imo

[@Laurikiwi]

His right hand technique is among the best ever already imo

[@tcollier5460]

Criss Oliva from Savatage was very underrated

[@dougcameron6609]

Cause….. Savatage

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

100%!!!

[@icemike874]

True That☝💯🎯

[@Metallian81]

Criss was a master guitarist and musician! May he. R.I.P. 😔

[@SkylineBilip]

Michael Romeo is objectively one of the greatest of all time. Everything he does is perfection and its scary.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

I'd never heard of him (Romeo) until seeing this, but he's phenomenal! I hear a bit of Malmsteen and Michael Angelo influence in his playing.

[@chilepeulla]

@@Dave-nm3xc funny you say that, I remember Batio saying that Michael Romeo followed his speed kills instructional videos back in the day

[@herehere3139]

When I need "that" lightening fast and scary mean guitar inspiration, I will typically go to a Michael Romeo video and watch and analyze his patterns. I agree. Craaaaaazy amazing

[@herehere3139]

And to add lol he seriously writes himself the hardest most technical and melodic solos for himself, it's like every solo he pushes it as hard as he can, like to challenge himself even, but then on top of that, he burns it into his muscle memory so it's then automatic for him. All within the exact context of the songs details. Just perfection to my ear

[@Green-Bean1]

Shawn Lane and Holdsworth are better.

[@juancarlosbernabeaviles]

Michael Romeo is a Monster.

[@Cestariarts]

He's widely known. I think Mattias IA should be on his place instead

[@HoofHearted6]

War of the Worlds Pt.2!!!!!!!

[@matthewarms3786]

I see Shawn Lane and Michael Romeo, I hit thumbs up. And of course the legato solo from Sea of Lies would be featured.

[@datsovtsvetan]

Michael Romeo - underrated??? The man is a GOD of the guitar and the music generally! Much respect and appreciation!

[@guidoh9391]

Very good choice, I enjoyed every second. Thanks for that video. 🤗 Mattias IA Eklund is a phenomenal guy, that I would add to the list 🎸

[@dillinger209]

Freak Guitar is phenomenal .

[@eleazarlaggui9739]

Shawn Lane is the true king of shred guitar.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

Guitar in general. He could play almost any style better than almost anyone

[@Brutalgruve]

I saw someone said Tony McAlpine and Vinnie Moore, needed to be said again.

[@mikecarson7769]

Shawn Lane (RIP) created some of the world's most incredible music, maybe difficult to find most of his work, but you should be able to access "Power of Ten"

[@ricowhoo1313]

And Allen was not as boring as Sean

[@cellulose6322]

Lane's phrasing is more musical, less awkward than Holdsworth@guitarszen

[@arkteosss]

Shawn Lane was not underrated. He made a living playing the guitar. He had a following. I’m underrated!

[@smiljanicn]

Yes, yes! Shawn Lane, one and only! Romeo - eats Yngwie for breakfast. I would add Mattias IA Enklundh, and magnificent Per Nilsson!

[@tommartling2473]

Great stuff. Love them all. Shawn still my fav.

[@sylvestre.rawminey]

I had the privilege to hear Shawn Lane for Vigier guitars demo in '98. I'm still shocked ! What a GREAT musician !!!

[@taradead]

Brett Garsed is world class, too. His shredding is very musical...doesn't become tiresome to the ear, like some other shredders.

[@cerveshred]

My favorite player along with Holdsworth

[@JohnWahlers]

Couldn't agree more-criminally underrated

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Robot narration is ironic especially considering some of the “artistry weedly wee except Greg and Shawn

[@CesarClouds]

Agreed.

[@asegal4677]

Brett created some amazing, sophisticated music.

[@marcblum5348]

Greg Howe playing "Sunny". Great pick.

[@edwargo]

Great list. Over the years I’ve listened more to Greg Howe than the other guys but this was a nice trip down memory lane.

[@anachromancer7005]

Worth mentioning that Michael Romeo has cited Shawn Lane as one of his influences. Terrifying players and musicians.

[@Crussman499]

Shawn is at the top.

[@eouroshopper4423]

I've been following Shawn for quite some time now and it's really satisfying seeing all the deserved attention he's getting. But besides his incredible guitar virtuosity. He's also made some collaborations with some big names like willie Nelson and Ringo starr etc. He was also a monster on piano. I really don't like throwing around the term "musical mastermind" because there's no wrong or right answer when it comes to music. But if i had to pick one. It' must be Shawn. I don't think people has realized it yet but Shawn (to me at least)was litterally like a Beethoven for our Generation. Talent like that only appears once per 1000 years or so

[@DenkendeMystik-ll8oi]

If you ever watch him playing the piano... You are so right!

[@mikepoirier2492]

All true.A once in a lifetime musician!

[@mikepoirier2492]

@guitarszen Shawn Lane copied no one. Open your ears.

[@wavetech_]

@guitarszen what a truly ignorant comment. Stop fanboying and actually listen. Shawn was a monster, and truly incomparable in MANY ways. As was Alan. Inspired? Yes. Copycat??? Absolutely not hahahah not even close. They played WAY differently.

[@NguyenHoang-bt5hv]

@guitarszen and you think you actually understand Allan and Shawn? hahaha

[@vbros7]

LOVE that Kiesel Greg's playing - looks like he's got another one in the back. I'm predicting they're the next Suhr...

[@greekfreak1980]

Simone Mularoni is not only a monster shredder but also a talented producer/songwriter. He wrote/produced/ played guitars on a great solo album for Geoff Tate, couple of years ago. Oh and DGM are awesome.

[@richardmitchell8213]

Greg Howe is the greatest player of this group in my opinion. And what puts him over the top is his creativity. Listen to his entire discography, it’s simply amazing.

[@swagmoneyboi69]

He doesn’t hold up when compared to Shawn Lane. No one in this list does

[@STgauss3268]

I agree, Greg is the Dad of guitarists like Guthrie.

[@biscobisco1882]

​@swagmoneyboi69 What exactly do you mean by that? Because there are several legato passages from Greg on the Introspection album that rank as some of the most insane speeds I've ever heard achieved on an electric guitar.

[@klystermeister9134]

Good to see Greg getting praise, so underrated.

[@chrisgregory1160]

very good- thank you, especially for the clips at the end of each section

[@CoolHand.]

I enjoy Howe a lot. Not over distorted, and he could play chords! Imagine that!

[@rikcleary1680]

[@ericnaylorguitar]

some cool clips I hadn't seen before thanks for posting 👍

[@facemelters]

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching !

[@jeffreyterwilliger3089]

Shawn Lane, Michael Romeo, Ron Thal and Greg Howe I have heard. But that guy in DGM was entirely off my radar until now. Thank You!

[@facemelters]

Our pleasure 🙏

[@UR_Right24]

Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, and Jason Becker were just in a different universe of playing. I think Steffen Shackinger and Jack Thammarat deserve much more attention and recognition than they have received and are surely underrated, but even they are not in the same stratosphere as the first 3 guys I mentioned. Guthrie Goven is right there with those first 3 guys but he certainly has been showered with much recognition and attention over the last 15 years, and very deservedly. I think you can be a virtuoso without being able to play wickedly fast. I am more impressed with WHAT notes a guitar player plays, than how FAST he plays them. What you express melodically and with what tone, is more important to me than just showing off a particular skillset that you practiced a million times until you got it just perfect and it's now very robotic. Just being a shredder does not necessarily make you a virtuoso, while not being a shredder does not necessarily omit you from being a virtuoso either. I'd rather in most cases a guitar player actually slow down a little from how fast he can play, to ring out each note more and articulate them more. To each their own though. Just my opinion.

[@philphilou6452]

" I am more impressed with WHAT notes a guitar player plays, than how FAST he plays them " I LOVE THIS COMMENT....👌👌👌👍 And i love Guthrie Govan 🎸

[@asegal4677]

Good points.

[@gun_toting_lefty]

Greg Howe! Yes! Love that guy. Wish he'd come out to the east coast.

[@askthecomputershop]

Shredding with heart and feeling!!!

[@YaoEspirito]

He has super-human skills.

[@PsyphaX09]

Romeo is easily the most underrated. I've been listening to his music for 20 years now.

SHAWN LANE is the greatest guitarist of all time😎😕 missing him R.I.P

[@jduncanm3golf]

Reb Beach, Pat Thrall, Bill Connors ... 3 that come to mind

[@dontwan4266]

Greg Howe "Pay as you go" is my favorite.

[@Yngsatchvai]

That and Direct Injection are flat out amazing!!

[@jimmykonsta]

Great list, although imho Howe is in another league nowadays and not so underrated. And Vinnie Moore is definitely missing 😂 his sense of melody and songwriting combined with impeccable technique should have made it. Btw Simone played a guest solo in my band's latest album, "We are legend - Fallen Angel. Cheers man!

[@kreuzzer2845]

[@paper_panda]

Pristine list! I'll throw in Scott Mishoe, who is a great guitar player not enough people know about.

[@eckg7592]

Alex Skolnick was part of my unholy triumvirate along with Warren Demartini and Vivian Campbell. First time Eerie Inhabitants played on my turntable I was hooked on Testament. Epic band. Instrumentation tighter than a camels arse in a sandstorm, and the intricate play between Skolnick and Peterson puts them easily on the same legendary podium as KK n' Glen, Dave n' Adrian or even the lads from the Eagles. I'd also nominate Omar Rodriguez. He's no widdler but rather more like what would result if Jimmy Page and Carlos Santana were shot towards each other around the LHC. Extremely unconventional, boldly experimental and a million miles from ever being generic.

[@PsyphaX09]

I love Alex, another underrated guy. Thrash til death! 🤘

[@Hhhlll7778]

Absolutely

[@othusa]

Matteo Mancuso impresses me the most of the “new” players. Steve Vai states he is “the evolution of guitar.” He is the only player IMO that stands up to Holdsworth. He is so musical with his playing, and plays many styles with equal proficiency. Genius. You still have a great list, with Shawn Lane and Michael Romeo as my Top 2.

[@gordiannot77]

The Memphis Monster♥️..

[@FemalePersuasion]

Forrest McDonald is a criminally underrated guitarist. He’s best known for his guitar solo for Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock & Roll but honestly he’s the most insanely amazing guitarist overall I’ve ever heard. First time I saw this one 😳 *serious chills* ⬇️ “Forrest McDonald Blues Solo Texas from the award winning CD Spirit of the Blues”. Found out the CD won the JPF Blues CD of the Year award as well as two Song of the Year awards. Ridiculously underrated 🎸😎👏 #forrestmcdonald

[@dannyhood8857]

Bob Seger must be one biggest selling artist of all time. Night moves everything after was huge. Probably before that. I'm sure forest McDonald is great guitarist, as Roy Buchanan is great and Stevie ray Vaughan. Not being sarcastic either. The only way I can explain is 'Once upon time in the west) Shawn lane. Melts

[@jerryhorton5708]

I’m not a shred fan in general, but Shawn Lane was one of those who captured the ear and imagination for his melodic sensibility. And Greg Howe never really received his just due.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Agreed

[@mikestroud9969]

Got to say #3 is s probably my favorite. Like his phrasing and licks. Reminds me of Queensrhyce 👍👋💯🎸🎸 Simone Mularoni Band sounds great 😊😊
