@jasper426 It was not. Two reasons: 1) Michael Played a purple ESP M II, which he used since 2000... I have seen 2 live performances from 1998 and he still used his white one... 2) Not sure if this was a VHS Tape or DVD, but I strongly believe this was actually still a VHS tape, therefore the quality is what it is. Plus on the cover of the guitar chapter tape ( only picture I could find blog.live4guitar.com/article/interview-with-michael-romeo-symphony-x ) is a date 2000.7.26, so I would strongly believe this is the date of manufacture or production at least... :) cheers, have a nice day :)
@@jrocker027 I find that a bit strong "sloppy " I'm pretty sure he was classically trained for a while and I think that's the first thing that's taught posture.....and as for his playing..... well that's not what ide call sloppy.....ide question these peoples credentials I really would......also there is a direct connection between ability and positive feedback and humility (in my humble opinion lol) this type of playing isn't for everyone......I keep trying to get friends to like his band and other similar types but people like what people like....but at the end of the day this guy has left his mark on the world of music and just seeing this and other examples of his technique and composition made me finally really turn it up a notch and I for one am truly grateful to him.
@shredd5705 you're completely missing the point. Doing an overhand harmonic is indeed not a hard thing, but knowing when to put it in this hell of a solo and executing it perfectly with a tone that has this little gain is a completely different level. I would also really like to a see a video of you doing it in the middle of one of your solos like this, armchair warrior.
Whammy bar harmonics; you pluck the string either with your finger or pick, dip with the tremolo and then, while letting the pitch raise, you touch the string somewhere where you can get a natural harmonic. In this case, Romeo did it at about 3rd fret.
Michael Romeo absolutely blows the lid off of any modern "virtuosos". Effortless, without any goofy schizophrenic crap.
What do you even mean by schizophrenic crap lol

This kind of video is what I call "The Relic". Understanders will understand.

Explain pls 🙏
@@martinopinto6323 The Relic is another song from Symphony X
Simply amazing how he can play all of that slowly.
I watched this for the first time like 17 years ago and am still as blown away by it now as i was back then.
Same, except now I thought maybe I could play it.
Except slow mode needs to be slower....
The intro has pure classical vibe. Because it is classic. Perfection.
7/4
his technique and neck position are flawless!
Some twats on forums say he's sloppy. This guy was and is so underrated.

Their mothers like it sloppy
MR is one of the greatest ever !!
the king
Thank you for making me quit to play this song....
Michael Romeo is a monster player
The hand over neck harmonic is heaven
@shredd5705 Post a video of you playing this song at speed and doing the hand over neck harmonic pls.
All talk, no walk
Post a video mate.
@shredd5705 Still no vid I see. Not even one of your regressive band. Talk is cheap.

"Do you want to shred like this?" instructional VHS casette
Freaking AWESOME!
Great chops.
I wanted to buy the same guitar as him but then it was worth €3.3k...
Moss same bro, but there is also a cheaper versione but without the logo of Michael Romeo
Music hero
I think he was in another dimension.
Brutal! Seguramente yngwie deve de estar orgulloso de un legado tan bestial como este guitarrista qué juega a tocar la guitarra tan genialmente loco!
No sabia que mi tia tocaba asi de bien.
how to do that at @03：40

He makes it look so easy but it’s hard to play
Level: monster.
Looks ridicously easy when he plays it, lol
Где же фредгитарист?)
