    Michael Romeo in my opinion is the best guitarist/songwritter i've ever heard in my life so far and i've heard hell of a lot...just the way he thinks and progresses with his themes i consider to be unnautral...a pure genius , i can only hope and wait to hear at least 10 more albums from him

    Excellent video Paul !
    The things that I really love about Michael Romeo is how easy he make it look when he plays live, the guy is a magician !

    This man is the most underrated guitar player ever. Is a TOTAL GENIUS: Technique, control, feeling, speed, originality... He deserves more

    Micheal Romeo is one of the best guitarists of all time.
    And in my opinion he is simply the best.

    you have definitely inspired e to downtune my guitar and learn some MicheAL ROMEO! I've always considered Symphony X one of my favorite bands but never got around to learning his stuff mainly because I have been studying John Petrucci's playing for last 2 and a half years but also I don't wanna put my guitar a whole step down. But all the being said I am going to tackle Nevermore!

    Great job Paul !
    Totally agree , you choosed all my favorite riffs of the maestro !
    I play now more in jazz , soul and funk band but still study and play agressive solos with harmonic minor , phrygian dominant tapping ....etc
    Thx again and hi from Paris !

    You are braver man than I for attempting Seven. That song sets my hand on fire.
    MJR is hands down my biggest influence next to Alexi Laiho (RIP). His playing is just so clean. If you have seen the video of him playing the Fear of the Unknown solo, you can see how little effort he seems to be putting into everything. A true master in riffs and leads.

    • @PaulOuzounov

      I still practise Seven every day basically!!! Yeah Michael also seems to have no tension in his hands when he plays which is extremely impressive to me.

      You can find literally anything in tablature in Japan. There are legions of 12 year old girls who can play Symphony X note for note over in Japan. You can find books of tablature from even the most obscure metal bands in Japan. It's crazy.

    Excellent video! I really like this idea for a serie, and hope for more bands. As a constructive suggestions, I would like to see some chord progressions or harmonies that are common in the band, if possible. It just an opinion. But the concept itself of the video is great!

      Paradise lost is also my fav, a perfect mix of technique and feelings, maybe less prog than past albums but the songwriting here it's exceptional, also the mixing is top notch.

  • @lhzx

    My favorites are the first 3albums. More classical element and molodies than the later ones. It would be wonderful if Michael do more lessons and workshops.

    My number 1,Its great to see someone else who loves his work as much as me.Im 42 and old now lol but you mentioned about dark times etc,well about 18 months ago I had exactly that but I literally fell asleep with my guitar and woke up and off I went again,I've never done that but it was watching him and my personal favourite performances are on the 2005 Gigantour (I've lost the disk with Symphony X and Nevermore and dream theatre) I'm guessing its copyright and Dave Mustaine banning it because I cant find it at all,He inspired me to go from a player that had a great ear and patience but zero idea what I was doing to someone who dares to improvise live and sweep and all that nonsense,but I have to thank people like him to have that certain something that's special!......great playing by the way, seven looks ridiculous man. Lol.if you ain't seen it the Gigantour disks 2005 its seriously worth it!dream theatre play the glass prison and panic attack and they are the best I've ever seen them play. It's a shame it's not available on RUclips because dream theatres performances are not available. Anyway cheers man.
