Insanely good! He's possibly the most complete and flawless metal guitarist ever. He truly excels at every aspect - awesome rhythm playing, incredible accuracy of touch and timing, blistering speed, great expression and melody, textbook technique with superbly economical and flawless movement and perfect relaxation. He has no weakness! And he also looks like he's a very humble, almost shy guy in this video. Huge respect.
I think his playing works great because he's not a one-trick pony. The guitar is a versatile instrument and he does it all -- alternate picking, legato, tapping, sweep arpeggios, slides, bends, etc. etc. He doesn't get stuck beating the same scales or techniques to death.
i cant believe people dislike this. no one understands at all what it takes to get this good.... way harder then blues guitarists repetitive bs. ive been playing for a few yrs and its just incredible how good this guy is.
Romeo is sick with licks!!!Just discovered him, yeah I been hiding under rocks the last ten years..What a Player, just love the Classical influence!!! You know it looks like he has little hands,but they will light that ass up!! Thanx for the post..
Absolutely love Michael!! Easily one of my top guitarists!! Back when I started to get really good at playing, watching these really helped me build my style. Now my own improvised shred style sounds like a mix of Buckethead and Michael Romeo. Why does it seem nobody gives a shit about talent these days??
His solo’s style and technic are simply amazing ! All he does between the ends of the fretboard is fantastic. I just go crazy while listening his songs.
The Romeo facial expressions of " Oh jesus that was so awesome it makes me sick" rule... lmao. Looks like sometimes he's just utterly disgusted with how awesome he is, the sea of lies face right before the tapping is a prime example lollll. So awesomeeee
I've been playing guitar 11 years and Michael Romeo is the only guitarist that I listen to now that actually makes me feel like shit. It's a disgusting feeling but it makes me practice like fuck so thank you for making my car rides full of pain but my practice full of productivity. [=
almost every famous guitar player started playing when they where about 4-6 years old but michael romeo started to play seriously when he was about 18 and i think he is much better than the other like: satriani, gilbert, petrucci, buckethead, malmsteen, and more...
He certainly is underrated!! as I said I just discovered him,very impressive to say the least..I'm a big shred head so he has been getting some of my attention..Solid tone as well..It's very easy for me to like Cats like this because of the Classical influence..He is a Monster!!
I'm with you on that - I feel like most guitarists don't vary too much with their left-hand techniques, so I usually find myself focusing more on their picking hands anyway, and man is Romeo's flawless \m/
I have seen this video a million times... but it still amazes me. DT is my favorite band but... wow... it is hard to admit it but I prefer Michael Romeo´s playing than that of Petrucci´s, all the classical embellishments (mordentes, thrills, etc..) are well put in his style. I am not saying I can play better than any of them right now... but this Michael Romeo is amazing; even if Romeo and Petrucci play different styles or genres of music; I must agree with those who say Romeo is better.
quote from the movie Paul: 'it's not fat it's power' Michael Romeo is simply badass and had a great guitar clinic in Santa Barbara 2 years ago really gave some good pointers on a relaxed picking hand and I got to jam to Sea Of Lies with him, me playing bass of course, but it was awesome to learn the tips and tricks
Este hombre de symphony x es verdaderamente un profesional, y yo lo admiro por su destreza y habilidad, mas que nada tecnica que el usa, verdaderamente rompe esquemas musicales.

Also the theatrical scenery with lighting, cool af gothic esthetic, and the medieval shirt. Theatrical genius!
Flawless and extremely innovative. Michael Romeo has a great sense of composition and phrasing.

lmao would you dare 15 years later elaborate on those stuck scales and techiques?
i cant believe people dislike this. no one understands at all what it takes to get this good.... way harder then blues guitarists repetitive bs. ive been playing for a few yrs and its just incredible how good this guy is.
He does the impossible with an air of effortlessness, comfort and humility.
Truly one of the best who has ever lived. He was a fucking kid when he did this video, early twenties at most.
Michael is one of the best guitarists around!! The guy can play his ass off!!
He's great guitarist and I think he's So Under-rated , and he must be categorized among the guitar gods world wide ...
i guess people often watch his left hand technique, but take care of his right hand.... it's so perfect. Michael Romeo is, and will alwas be my God
Phenomenal compositions
Michael Romeo is nuts!!! and so good at every aspect, while being strikingly original and creative!

Romeo is sick with licks!!!Just discovered him, yeah I been hiding under rocks the last ten years..What a Player, just love the Classical influence!!! You know it looks like he has little hands,but they will light that ass up!! Thanx for the post..

Can`t just find words to express my admiration for his talent. He`s just amazing!
