Thanks, Creepy, I was actually looking for that! It used to be linked from the Dean site. Mike had to mod that song a bit (the Deans he was using on this clip are 22 & 24 frets - the earlier clip featured a 27 (or was it 29?) fret Ritz - BTW I think that guitar is pretty cool looking - Mike seems to love that Bolted Steel motif!

Also he only did one short "reverse sweep" this time around.

I met Mike back in '90 at a clinic of his. It was the first time I'd ever seen him play, I was in complete awe. After watching the old vid then the new one, you can see how much more polished his playing is after about 10 years. Some good editing helps too. If my sweeps were 1/4 that clean, I'd be cheesin [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I found out two days late that Michael Angelo did a clinic less than 3 hours from where I live. I would have made the trip to see it. As far as him being a tool, I don't know, I've never met him. All I meant was that his sense of humor was a little different. But that is coming from me, who has a very different sense of humor than most of society. I have heard people say that he was kind of pompous, expecting you to get his autograph after a clinic. Did I read that here? Anyway, he is an amazing player, I would love to pick his brain.

Wow, on that later video he is so fast that he can even change guitars without missing a beat. I gotta work on that!!
