This song(15 years later) still has kick ass technique and skills I've yet to see even famous musicians perform. Just outstanding. I'll keep listening through the next 50 years still.
I've been watching this guy for over 10 years ago, and nothing up to date has come close to this. I still keep remembering and watching this video. So much technique, energy, and feel put into it... Perfect track this is.
i'd say its a one shot recording (probably one of many tries), which makes it even better. the guitar went slightly out of tune during playing i think that wouldnt happen when recording in sections. i'd guess he's extremely talented and cant efford expensive recording equipment - even the instrument seems to be pretty cheap (which doesnt mean bad) all in all it reminds me on shwan lane - great musician and doesnt care about fame. the world needs more people like that. eventhough it became calm around his name after guitar idol i hope he's still playing.
+rotze2007 I had hoped that after all these years, he would be a part of something big. Bands like Dream Theater or Symphony X are good examples of musical gods.

i fear the times are gone where you get on stage by music only. success, in fame or financial way, needs concepts and probably money or connections. many peoply jump on that train to enable them making music, shawn did not and i 'd say its the same with fernando - i think thats fine in the art point of view. anyhow, yes it'd be exorbitantly great to see some more of this guy, even if its just do know he's still fine.
It's amazing how some people can simply be such a loser like that by saying he's fake! I've know this guy since I was 17.... way back to 1994 (he started taking guitar lessons in 1990), although we are not in touch nowadays. I remember he used to play all day long. In fact, his mom always brought his meals to his room and he put the guitar aside, right on one of his legs and the plate of food on another one. He wont't drop his guitar even for 1 sec, while I tried to set his old computer in order for us to play Need for Speed (the very first) and Full Throttle. He watched me playing after all. Good times! He simply rocks and still he is one of the most modest guy I know. Eat your hearts out, losers! this guy is a true genius!
He's brazilian and japanese according to his name, since brazil has welcomed the largest immigrated population from Japan Why accrediting this to a nation tho, pretty sure he learnt a lot from tons tabs made by various guitarists from various countries
Back in 2008 this video was one of the most watched guitar solo videos on UA-cam, together with Canon Rock by JerryC and Andy Mckee's Drifting. Amazing times.
I haven't seen this in such a long time. Just as great as I remembered! And think alot of people who showcase their talents on UA-cam are prepared for the legions of 13 year old trolls. He knows he's great and the thirty or so negative comments I just read through are so ridiculous, I don't think a single one would make him pause and get upset. Side note, these comments are actually much better than they used to be. I guess trolls are finding it harder to be heard
2:29 to 2:51 is too much for me ... and immediately followed by the coolest finale in 50 years he will be teaching angels how to shred and throwing their harps away
+ThePoetech oops and yes, I'd bet he could I saw Dragonforce live 10ish years ago and they were making mistakes soooo many mistakes I think I read somewhere that they would get drunk before shows
It's 2020 and I still keep coming back to this video. Damn this is when YT was good and filled with nice original content. I really hope this guy is successful with his music making.
First time seeing this. I read the vid title, and was like: "Yeah right, this had better be Insane". Clicked the play button and then.... all smiles. Truly insane!
Greg White I first saw this soon after it was posted. I think of it occasionally still and here I am. I have always been impressed by the wide variety of techniques in use. Each one requires time and discipline to master. Still impressed over a decade later
I found this in my old accounts favorites playlist and wondered why i would even favorite something like this, only to uncover a memory i didnt even realize i had
First time seeing it in June 2020. This is just brilliant. I haven't played in 10 or so years, but this makes me want my old purple sparkly Epiphone LP back. Not that I could ever play even a 20th of this, but it's inspiring, man.
Boku Shiranai I had my account from 7 years ago. I had my old email. I really wanted to set it back up again so I can show off to everyone that I have a 7 year old account.. but + shattered all my dreams :(. It just transformed into Google plus with the creation day :Today.
Ten years later and I still get chills and goosebumps. I love you!!! I would love to hear something recent!!!! Even if not fast. I love your feel!! Maybe this was your masterpiece =)
Glad to see that sooo many years later i can google "amazing guitar solo" and this still comes up, and the first hit btw... You are the man! Thank you sir.
2024 and this is still the best solo I’ve ever seen and heard. I saw this when it was uploaded many years ago and it’s just so damn impressive. It just sings so perfectly. How can you not be in awe.
This is the first time I've seen this video in over a decade and it's even more impressive now than it was back then. A touch Noodly in parts but well composed and perfectly executed. That two-handed tapping bit is brilliant.
2024, Still burning hot!!! There's music, and then there's music with a message. That's when it transcends to art. There is a message in this masterpiece of sound
I been listening to this for years. Probably one of the most unique style I have ever heard and I can name more shred guitarest then I can family and friends. Thanks for giving this to us
Definitely an unforgettable solo I watched it like 12 years ago for the first time and have continued to come back to it time and time again. He is a Badass
Fuccc. The first riff awakened so many memories I forgot I had. Looking at the timestamp, He was definitely an inspiration for me to get into guitar. It's mindblowing that I can actually rewatch this and decipher what he's doing rather than staring in awe. Yup, he's still great.
I watched this as a kid, thinking I would never be this good. I played for hours on end everyday, nonstop. I am glad to say that, I still can't play any of that shit- this dude is a monster among monsters. This will always be my favorite guitar solo of all time.
This is one of the most legendary shreds ever. I listen to this like once a year, and I remember like 40-50% of it. I can listen to other shreds like 50 times and not remember anything the person played 2 minutes later.
God, I miss the old UA-cam days. Content was raw and meant something. Nowadays the algorithm wants your soul, most channels are clickbait and shamelessly relentless ad-marketing.
all the jealous people say about him on youtube pisses me off. "He's fake!" "He's fat!" "He doesn't have a life!" This guy is gifted and some people just can't handle it.
This is one of the first guitar videos I ever saw on UA-cam along with funtwo. I watched them in the same night and was forever changed. I started wanting to take shred guitar seriously. I couldn’t even comprehend the notes and finger placement. Didn’t think it was real. 13 years later and I totally get it now. Crazy how your mind can progress
JordanManSamuel Then you should rethink your comments. You read it wrong. Perhaps you should check yourself for dyslexia. I've been playing for 6 years and I damn well know what's fake and what's not.
I remember giving this video 5 stars back in the days. Still watching his solos several times a year and I'm pretty sure my jaw is never gonna stop dropping. What a talent!!!!!
Wow! Haven't listened to this in about seven or eight years. Still one of the best guitar performances ever put on UA-cam. Completely amazing technique. A true virtuoso. Still blows me away today. I see a lot of the comments down below me and yeah you're right. God bless you all! Peace!
It's 2021 guys. And this solo is still gold.
Fuck no this shit is platinum son
Can't believe this is still going, love this solo. 16m views as of 2021. Well done lad
Glad i found it. Stayed in my mind since day i see heard it first.
Yea ! I was like ... wow 15 years and I still love it !
One of the first videos I ever watched on UA-cam. This vid will never die
this guy is done learning guitar, the guitar is now learning him
Ok John, you’ve figured me out. Now it is time for me to do the same.
This comment makes me giggle every time
😅facts
I saw this 17 years ago! And it’s still one of the top fire solos I’ve ever heard. 🔥🔥🔥 and it’s 2023 lol
Check him out on Jared Dines Shred Collab for this year
@@SKATVonD420 Just saw it. He wasn't there. Are you sure it wasn't another video?
@@MagnusGoGo I'll have to rewatch it, I thought I saw him, and his name come up. I may very well be mistaken though
It's 2024 now and I agree
He used every single technic ever created for guitars. I'm simply in shock
I don't see no fretted harmonics
No sLaP! 👋
Me too and I've played ummm 40 yrs?
This song(15 years later) still has kick ass technique and skills I've yet to see even famous musicians perform. Just outstanding. I'll keep listening through the next 50 years still.
You apparently don't listen to metal and more extreme genres of music...
Go on then. What techniques in this video are unique and don't famous musicians use. I want specifics.
@@BeardyGit89 Well
What did you have in mind?
@@azmanabdula what? My point is that there aren't any.
@@BeardyGit89 No I meant who can do what this bloke does?
Im into technical death metal and few do this
I've watched this countless times in the past 13 years. This is probably my favorite guitar solo ever. I consider this virtually untouchable.
Definitely a favorite
Yeah this is otherworldly. Such a catchy rhythm theme, too.
Me too found this when I played guitar hero 3
Agreed
It's 2021, and this is still one of the greatest solos of all time.
I've been watching this since it came out and I still come back to it. So good.
Seriously
100%
Legit
14 years later and this is still insane...
agreed...very little touches it
I've been watching this guy for over 10 years ago, and nothing up to date has come close to this. I still keep remembering and watching this video. So much technique, energy, and feel put into it... Perfect track this is.
This is pretty close i would say ua-cam.com/video/pXLGg39Pt6w/v-deo.html
I remember 2008. When everyone was arguing that this was fake.
+anthemlog me too!!! the guy is sooo good that they thought he had a cheat code for guitar playing or something
Hahaha yes
i'd say its a one shot recording (probably one of many tries), which makes it even better.
the guitar went slightly out of tune during playing i think that wouldnt happen when recording in sections.
i'd guess he's extremely talented and cant efford expensive recording equipment - even the instrument seems to be pretty cheap (which doesnt mean bad)
all in all it reminds me on shwan lane - great musician and doesnt care about fame. the world needs more people like that.
eventhough it became calm around his name after guitar idol i hope he's still playing.
+rotze2007 I had hoped that after all these years, he would be a part of something big. Bands like Dream Theater or Symphony X are good examples of musical gods. They put so much into their music (sometimes) and I think it would be so awesome to see him up front on stage, with a full band around

anyhow, yes it'd be exorbitantly great to see some more of this guy, even if its just do know he's still fine.
I watched this 10 years ago... Still one of the best performances!
Agreed! Was just saying i saw the live version but nothing tops this!
Same here. Me too
Fernando miyata. What a player 🙌
Someone asks me "Oh, you play guitar?"
This video flashes in my head, and I kick the case out of sight.
"No, no I don't."
Your comment made me burst out laughing!!! That was so good lol!!!!!!!
I feel you bro
Hysterical. 😂
this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my entire 30 years on this planet

so a guy plays guitar as good as buckethead and 99% better than most and all anyone will do is shit on him? Jealousy is a disease...

Alex Giron where’s your proof it’s fake? Anyone who plays the guitar can tell it’s not just by watching what he does.
@@tomt-c9610 its not check it up
Christian Hurlburt I literally said it’s not fake lol
Somewhere in Japan, there's a 4 year old saying "I've been playing like that for the past 5 years.".
The members of Babymetal?
Lol
Japan sucks
@@georgebush_4202 so does your mom, the whole neighborhood knows
He's brazilian and japanese according to his name, since brazil has welcomed the largest immigrated population from Japan
Why accrediting this to a nation tho, pretty sure he learnt a lot from tons tabs made by various guitarists from various countries
Back in 2008 this video was one of the most watched guitar solo videos on UA-cam, together with Canon Rock by JerryC and Andy Mckee's Drifting. Amazing times.
I also remembered Mattrach from that times ...old good times
Take me back
@@carlossandoval6940Dude yes Mattrach!
I haven't seen this in such a long time. Just as great as I remembered!
And think alot of people who showcase their talents on UA-cam are prepared for the legions of 13 year old trolls. He knows he's great and the thirty or so negative comments I just read through are so ridiculous, I don't think a single one would make him pause and get upset.
Side note, these comments are actually much better than they used to be. I guess trolls are finding it harder to be heard
also I got goosebumps right before the 2:50 to 3:06 bit. My body remembered how seven or eight years ago I used to replay those licks endlessly!
2:29 to 2:51 is too much for me ...
and immediately followed by the coolest finale
in 50 years he will be teaching angels how to shred and throwing their harps away
+ThePoetech oops and yes, I'd bet he could
I saw Dragonforce live 10ish years ago and they were making mistakes
soooo many mistakes
I think I read somewhere that they would get drunk before shows
Just jealous little trolls ...great playing!
It's 2020 and I still keep coming back to this video. Damn this is when YT was good and filled with nice original content. I really hope this guy is successful with his music making.
1:01 to 1:10 is possibly my favourite guitar playing ever, even after all these years, specifically that lick at 1:05. Blows me away every time.
Yeaaaah. I love that part. It's legendary.
16 yrs and I still come back to this. This is one of the best demonstrations of guitar skill out there.
