Ever since Rhoads died (1982), I just didn't have the heart to play. So, I basically missed all the great guitarists that have come along since then. I especially never heard of MAB. I got so intrigued after watching the promo, that I followed the links to www.metalmethod.com and bought everything (ah, its good to have money!). But I'm not gullible, and I know that its not the videos that are gonna make me better, its, as Pavel puts it, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! But still its good to have inspiration wherever it comes from, so I'm really looking forward to them. Now, two questions if I may. First, is it just me, or his hand movements on the DVD don't correspond to the speed the sound suggests they should be moving at. Either his fingers are moving so fast that at thirty frames per second the video is not fast enough and it aliases, or something else entirely is wrong (I shudder to think what that may be). Second, whats up with the right hand? He looks like he is picking with his thumb and index fingers moving only. I actually started playing like that, and thought it was very natural and comfortable. Then everyone told me I should be using my wrist. I had to retrain my hand (took a while too), to do that. Did I get bad advice? This is a really great thread, btw. Lots of great links to digest, thanks. Boris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It hardly looks like hes moving his hand at all! ? As of now at 2:30 in the morning I updated the thread. - John You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Michael Angelo Batio - Double Guitar Solo 100% real, no joking, he can do that, its absolutely insane! He plays left and right naded and harmonized his own licks, and at the end where he lifts the guitar over his head, damn thats gotta be hard, it must weight a good 25-35 pounds!

I played that way for a year after that i could not move from the deadspot. I did improved to a certain speed but than it all stopped. And i switched to "wrist" kind of picking. The MAB's picking just doesn't work for me. It's a mix of thumb/index picking with wrist picking. If you watch it close it looks like he is using the whole wrist but fixed with 3 fingers on the pickguard. Strange picking but he found his way to it and it works for him. I better stick to wrist picking. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

And remember, were talking about the guy who can play left and right handed....at the same time, on a double neck guitar, playing two different rythms, harmonizing his own stuff, while playing that guitar upside down above his head....
