Just wow.

Love his smile at the end. “Nailed it.”

I'm sitting here with earphones in the iPad with such a huge grin on my face right now. One of the finest solo guitar pieces I've ever heard

It was a stroke of luck someone was there to record it.........Mesmerising

I can't see that there was any luck involved. A crew were paid to record it.....

Sorry @merlin I was being facetious.... I did realise it was a pre-planned recording

I did wonder.

Very impressive, wonderful arrangement and playing
Sadly, his vibrato puts me off a little, personal preference I assume

Probably not as interesting to non-guitarists?

Kebabkid

That was fab.

There's another one doing the rounds (live performance) with Nuno, Zakk Wylde and Steve Vai but this tops that!

Perdix

That is awesome and he's only using an ibanez. How good would he be with a Fender or Gibson?

proggy

That boy can play. I've never heard of him before!

The Andy Timmons or Ibanez nerds amongst you may note that he is playing a prototype Ibanez sig, which is based on the AZ series and is much less pointy than his #1 AT-100 guitar.

'Ossum ! Truly remarkable !

And a different pickup configuration - they look like 3 Dimarzio Cruisers, which are actually humbuckers but impart more single-coil type sounds when he backs of the volume control.

Maybe, although I'd suggest playing a recognisable/ hummable choon makes it a lot more accessible to non guitarists than any amount of high speed widdle. The Shadows, for example, obviously sold to plenty of non guitarists.

Fabulous, loved it. He is a superb guitarist, I love his instrumental cover of the whole Sgt Peppers album.

FelineGuitars

Absolutely beautiful

Also as a bit of an old school Queen Fan it was really nice to hear a bit of "You take my breath away" (on Day At The Races album for those who want to look it up - stunning beautiful song)

smigeon

Yes, that was great!

I love the following as well - quite a bit different, but quite a bit good as well!
