Man I would love to have this guy's chop!

youtube allows us to see SO many incredible guitarists that would remain otherwise unknown/unheard from most of the public!

Pretty sweet sounding but nothing overly difficult. Just a YJM fan boy.

Nice, something I've been really watching is how different players hold their picking hand. This guy fits into what I call the 'claw', fingers curled up under the palm(one of the best examples of this is Marty Friedman).

I do that. My professor in college taught me it. It makes it easier to do hybrid picking. It also makes it easier to pass the pick off to my middle finger from my first when I am about to start tapping with my index finger.

Serious chops!
...and his facial expression tells me he could play that in his sleep.

Plays way better than I do, but I have friend who could shred YJM like that all day back in the 80's... so nothing really new to see, IMO. Just another dude pulling off a good Yngwie impersonation.

Guy is great I wish I were that good. Here's another piece by him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud-coFQi8_E

One thing I noticed is his picking hand is going crazy fast but when Yngwie plays it looks like hes picking effortlessly and relaxed.

Yea, he's definitely, got great chops...well....hes got great "YJM chops"..that is. Which is cool, don't get me wrong, but if you search youtube, there's a TON of players that can pull this off...I don't think we should take away anything from this dude....He can shred like a mothafucka.....and it sounds mint.

Personally though, I have grown tired of spitting other peoples shit out..

I highly doubt that I could ever get my picking hand that fast and in synch with my fretting hand to play that clean.

sure you can...it's just a matter of practice and repetition...check out youtube for a paul gilbert video...he shows a simple four note pattern that will sync up your hands...it's not awe inspiring or musical but it works...d.m.

The guy a great guitarist but just like Yngwie the guy is an asshole. He's also ripped off people on this board
