      @@joshmuz9018 wow, we must both have a lot of spare time. HEHEHE yeah, I like Shawn and Troy's vids are very interesting. Yngwie always amazed me for his speed and clean sounding picking. So many great players. I'm just a little above average, I think. Not a Shawn or Malmsteen. I think I can outplay Clapton, though. :) Or Gary Richrath. Oh, especially Kirk Hammet. hahaha well, Kirk is okay but not great at all. Gary Moore, Holdsworth, Gambale, Joe Pass, Tommy Emmanuel.... I'd say those guys are great. For his time, Hendrix was great. Beck was pretty great but more in an odd creative, musical way. Not technical so much, imo. Eddie was great for the time/genre. Guthrie Govan is pretty amazing. Eric Johnson is great. I'd say Brian May is great in a certain way. But for technique and musical knowledge, Holdsworth and Gambale are insane. Too many to even hear in a lifetime, I think.

      How many days and hours did it take to be able to put it all together? I'm more impressed that you could remember every little part than to actually be able to play it. There are some pretty big stretches in there too though, and it looks like you are comfortable with them. For me, unfortunately I was not blessed with that.

    This is kind of song you listen to on the plane, sitting at the window seat of the plane looking out your window, seeing the sun and cloudy blue skies. It's like a plane tour guide rock solo music "Please sit back and enjoy the ride!" haha.

    If you watch this on a slower speed, like .75, you can really get a feel for how accurate it is as a cover. It’s actually incredibly impressive. A lot of covers just hit the main notes but this is probably the best/most accurate cover of this song note for note. I don’t think even Eric Johnson is this accurate when he plays it live (no disrespect the man is a legend, he wrote this masterpiece)
