The ease with which he plays like this, just amazing.
Mesmerising.
Yeah, that's what I've always noticed about MR. He makes it look soooo easy.
That comes from years and years of playing and hard work imho
There is no better guitar player than MR..he is No.1 in rock world...
Thanks for transcribing this, can't wait to give it a try! Romeo is a great dude. I went to his place with a mutual friend once. He was cleaning his pool, so we hung outside for a bit and talked. He told me about the time he met Yngwie and a bit about touring with Dream Theater. He took us into his studio where he had 4 cabs set up. One, maybe two were Engls but I can't recall the others. After casually playing something sick, he let us play one of his Caparisons! He was graciously tolerant of my playing, and mercifully gave me a chops compliment. I'm glad to see him tearing it up!
awww man! That's super cool! I've never met him :(
whats up bro? I was reading this and just realized that I was the mutual friend in your story. I will look at these arps. gerry
@@gerardcolavito8174 Hey man! I'm glad you saw it! Maybe Mike will complete the circle.
What did Michael say about his meeting with Yngwie and touring with DT?
@@0ptriX I too would like to know this 🧐
Man, Michael Romeo is so underrated and underground that it's sad. I wish more people knew about him and Symphony X.
underrated???
underground??????
yes Mio, underrated. When was the last time you saw him on the cover of a magazine?
@@LeviClaypril 2022 (Aardschock). But I think he should have a column in every guitar mag. BTW, amazing transcription!
@@LeviClay he's been on a lot. I saw them live. Dave Mustaine needs to do Gigantour again. Megadeth, Symphony X, Dream Theater and Nevermore we're just part of that show w many others. It was fucking awesome. I have a backstage pic with myself, Romeo, Loomis, Petrucci and Broderick.
Dude's not underrated, it's just that his time in the spotlight has come and gone.
Thanks, Levi! Michael Romeo is an incredible lead guitarist, and doesn't get anywhere NEAR the amount of attention that he truly deserves.
Killer stuff. Romeo is a beast and i've always thought his leads are well composed. Thanks for the tab!
I got to hang out on the Symphony X tour bus last year until 3 in the morning. Romeo is such a cool and humble guy. We chatted about all kinds of guitar and music stuff.
One of my absolute favorite players and writers ever!!
Can’t tell you how jealous I am. Despite covering them relentlessly for years… I’ve not got a sniff
@@LeviClay to be fair Romeo doesn’t do social media at all. I doubt he’s watched many videos people have made about him.
I only got to hang with them because I have a friend who’s friends with them and I weaseled my way onto the bus haha.
Also Russell Allen might be the funniest person I’ve ever met. The charisma he has on stage is just his normal personality.
@@TheProgSchool Truth. Russ is a joker. Romeo is pretty chill. All those dudes are wizard level. Romeo is #1.
He’s so clean, one of the only people I hear double tracking solos
Yes very accurate for sure.
that is short delay
His picking hand is so smooth its like not even trying
He picks less than I do, and I'm a master procrastinator.
His technique is amazing - so fluid and clean!
Absolutly love that you have done so much Romeo stuff. Trying to find anything other than the Young guitar videos when I was a kid was impossible.
This song is also an absolute banger. The solo just caps it off amazingly.
He has such a melodic playing and not just this shredding. Only he has this mystic and ancient sound ... love this dude.
what a virtuoso he is. It must be such a buzz to play that well, to have such mastery. Incredible.
Yes it is. 😁
Yeah it’s tough bro - real tough
Damn seems in am about 9 days late for April fools 😂
Thank you so much for these. All of the work you do is appreciated so much. Hope life is treating you well.
I couldn't figure out the tapping part before the solo in my cover. Awesome Job as always Levi!
And such a great solo
+1 comment on the Sy X lads being super cool and approachable. My band and I made the trek to Sydney Australia to see them on the Underworld tour. Amazing show. After the show we were heading back to our hotel and saw a few of them out the back. We politely asked if they minded if we came up to say hi, and Russel Allen came and gave us all a (big sweaty) hug, and the rest of the lads hung out for a bit and shook our hands and did photos and just chatted for a while.
Absolute rockstars on stage, chill down to earth dudes as soon as they come off. 10/10.
Also thanks for all your transcriptions, Levi. Legend.
I feel extremely lucky to be alive during Michael Romeo's musical journey, he's my favorite guitarist & songwriter ever, I never take for granted when I get to hear something new from him, man do I hope we get a new Symphony X soon!!!
Sensational work mate. He's an amazing guitarist and very inspirational. The whole album is killer.
That solo is absolutely insane. Thank you for the transcription. Awesome work Levi!
That note at the end is awesome
No body in this world is this good....unreal
If you put the video in 0,5x is sick how clean he plays EVERYTHING
yesss, M
Romeo is great! only somebody who plays the guitar,can imagine how unbelievably good he is.
Yes, please transcribe all the old video stuff!
He's fucking great and criminally underrated. You almost never hear his name brought up when people are talking about guitar greats unless a rogue Symphony X fan enters the chat, even though he definitely deserves to be included in those discussions.
He is my favorite guitar player as well... He composes and plays as he inveted all the notes
Michael is beyond superb player. Been simping at him since late '90s. The 'Mythology Suite' is an absolute masterpiece in Progressive Metal.
To be honest, Symphony X is a very underrated band in my opinion. I'm a Dream Theater fan since their early days but i always listened to Symphony X as well. They deserve more credit...
I love Michael Romeo and Symphony X! Paradise Lost is one of my favorite albums.
Ok that was killer! So clean
And that's a bet you'd easily win friend, excellent job on the video. Thanks again for these wonderful videos, I've discovered new artists and learned a few things about playing guitar watching your videos. You're greatly appreciated.
So clean and (apparently) effortless!
The most underrated living guitarist in the world
I've been a big fan ever since hearing of him and Symphony X on Harmony Central forums in the 2000's. Fantastic rhythm and lead player. 8)
What an absolute beast of a player
We love you michael Romeo I remember the first time I heard seas of lies solo in the 90s 🧠 wow, greeting from Dubai and the Arab world thank u for making the best music ever
👏👏👏👏👏👏Thank you!’m listening to much this Michael Romeo album!Where did you buy those books?Thank you so much!👍🙏
I love his playing. Amazing.
I bet I can 😉. Another great transcription Levi. You're spoiling us with all the fun licks right now
romeo is a guitar god. period. proud fan of symphony x since a decade
Romeo may be the best guitarist alive. I've never seen anybody play like him. And Please transcribe anything by Romeo that you can.
He really is an all time great. Doesn't get near the recognition he deserves. Not even close.
Man this is amazing! 🤘
I absolutely love uncle MJR's work... he is just such a stellar musician (let alone devastating technician).
Thanks for transcribing this solo. I had the arpeggios pinned down (on paper - wayyy too far from getting the final arpeggios up to speed. I cannot crack the movement yet), but the beginning of the solo was throwing me off. I had the quintuplets figured out, but couldn't make sense of the 11:8 and the 7s later on.
I have a sneaky suspicion MJR picks EVERY damn note at that last arpeggio passage, without any Hammer-ons/Pull-offs. I guess I will have to use H/P's, my wrist just does not to want to change direction that fast.
😂 "Levi can't shred anymore kids" I'm a 58 yr old brought up on yngwie, etc. I resemble that remark ! Playing more bluegrass, country type gigs these days, but you never forget where you came from. Thanks for the shredding videos Levi !
Steady, Romeo is only 3 years younger than you! 😊
Thanks fam
I'd love to learn how to play this solo...I am just not sure if I have enough lifetime to make it to the end. Bloody hell he is just on another level of omnipotence😳.
Thank you so much for doing this! I couldn't quite figure out that ascending tapping lick myself. Would love to see you do more Romeo stuff. Perhaps the Metamorphosis solo, which he did a similar video for?
Hey Levi, I have bought your three in one country guitar lessons👍🤗
You should have kept that Caparison MR! Would love one.
Caparison Guitars are so hard to get in the UK. Always fancied one but would want to play first as very expensive!
I can't find some of those tab books at sh*thappens... are they official? Can they be bought somewhere? How good are they?
Anything you transcribe from Romeo is extremely well accepted!
Hey great job man. One question if you don’t mind, who is the editor/ publisher of the symphony x tab books you show at the beginning of the video ? Never been able to find any of them ( but I’ m really interesting as you can guess because I m a huge fan too) . So do you mind sharing the name of the publisher of those score books ? Thanks and looking forward to seeing other videos on your channel ! Best
this is the first time I ever heard sweep picking and it actually sounded good
I feel a connection to space when I hear his solos.
Have you heard Dawn of a Million souls?
Defo want that guitar chapter transcription 🤩👍
All solos are on my channel already
@@LeviClay hero
You're right about Becker's sweep patterns. However, on the low strings he would do a triad hammer and pull-off thing, which to my ears sounds like a nicer way to get some mileage out of the low register.
Al Di Meola, Shawn Lane & Michael Romeo. That is the absolute pinnacle of Guitar playing for humans, almost alienish...
ive seen them all live, and talked to shawn a bit. Danny Gatton could out shred them all but you would never know it from his recorded stuff, you had to see him live (when he was live) and all the guitar gods used to flock to see him on the DC circuit because they knew...
@@alienguitarabduction Danny Gatton was amazing, let's get that clear but to say that he could "out-shred" Al Di Meola, Shawn Lane or Michael Romeo is going way too far and you know it...
he is the true machine, amazing.
i wish that i could sweep like him lol
Wow....just.....wow
Michael is God tier.
It would be fun to watch you have a go at transcribing the Hybrids solos from the same album.
The best solo has been found
does a sloppy version count? Thanx for the excellent tab, great job once again!
First time I've heard the name... I have to say I'm a fan.
Yeah right - those sweeps played on the lower strings are deceptively difficult
I know what I am doing today
Cheers Levi ❤
One of these days I'm going to try to learn how to play one of these transcribed solos, one day, ADHD be damned.... Until then, please, PLEASE consider doing "Bruce's Solo" from Racer X some day in the future, when you have time. Mr Bouillet is a MONSTER shredder who easily holds his own with his fellow bandmate, Paul GIlbert.
He is ridiculous. He doesn't come up in enough "best guitarist" conversations.
OK, that was badass. I get it.
I think you and I are BFFs now. I’ve been one of the biggest fans of there’s since almost the beginning. I am member #17 in the fan club, and have seen them live 3 times. I would love to see the instructional transcription, but above all else, I would love to see all 3 of Michaels solo albums transcribed, yes including Guitar Chapter.
Woah, damn, thanks
I can play that upside down at twice tempo while simultaneously playing a Chopin Piano Etude with my toes. :)
Hi Levi, amazing as always, I wanted to ask you about the books, where did you find them, those aren't official, (V, Damnation Game, Divine Wings) I'd like to know, if they are accurate, and maybe where I can buy them in case, I have the ones from Sheet Happens, but I found 2 or 3 mistakes already...
What about those songbooks? divine wings of tragedy and V? are those japanese releases or something? Did you transcribe them?
Levi probably should have mentioned palm muted extremely well in the title too.
Where did buy find the DWoT tab book? MJR: in top 3 of my all time faves!
Insanely good 😱
He is my idol 🙌
Metal's finest 🤘
So after this, we hope to see the old jewels of this master xd
Can you please release Jessy Bullet and ethan brosh sentimetal mood.
Wow... Name of this song?
Yup... insane
great video as usual. A few years back I convinced Mike to give me a few lessons and sell me one of his guitars. I have a song for you!! For some reason you never hear about this song. Gary Moore - Only fool in town. two crazy solos. I'm curious to find out what you think and if you would consider tackling it.
Can you convince him to email me? 😂
Thanks so much for this - is there a place where I can buy all or some of your transcriptions?
everything goes on Patreon
Levi, could you tell me where you got those tab books, i only recognize the sheet happens ones, if i'm not mistaken, Michael Romeo is also my favorite metal guitarist
They’re bootlegs
Sir, how can i buy michael romoero book,
Excellent
Hi, everybody! I'm looking for the song
Yes he plays very good, but he use a B ton over a G minor chord?Or is it a springton ?Or chromatic tone? B in G minor scale,?
I don’t hear any Bs over Gm
wow
Steve vai jemini distortion pedal solo, it's amazing, please. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico
Hey Levi I've been working on their work album and as you may know there's no any book for that one, Anyways, I having big struggles with Shades of Gray solo ( tapping section) is there any chance you might have tried it? I am not asking you to transcribe of course hahah but i'd suggest you to check it if you like this dude's stuff!
Is he getting better with age? Holy cow he is so amazing!
Hey Levi, I'm not sure but i think Michael Romeo worked in a song for the prologue of a Castlevania Game called Symphony of the Night... Remember the first time i played the Game and listen to the song and think, wait i think that's Romeo playing guitar!
Wait. Symphony X published transcriptions?!?!? Why am I just learning this?
dunno
Insane
To answer the headline , I wouldn’t try it 😂.
soooooo cleeeaaaaaaannn
Where did you get the Guitar Scores for the older albums? 😯 Cant find even a trace of them with google.
Hint: find the transcriptions for his solo albums on YT (you will see the book in the video and audio samples of the transcriptions) wink wink
Replaying this with halfspeed next....
Michael's use of tapping across multiple strings gives me more trouble than sweeping. I practiced sweeping a lot back in the day and can do EVH one string tapping til the cows come home but for some reason multi string taps seem harder for me.
