This guitar stole my heart I can't wait for the day I'd buy one
Great job Elmo thanks for the video

[@catch_this_mirage6564]

Bravo 👏😀

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks!

[@benjaminbabu8770]

Hi Elmo, can you review the new boss katana 50 Gen3? Would love to know your take on it!

[@chocolatecookie8571]

But why?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Why not? 😀

[@yngwerhappen]

You are a better Vai than Malmsteen. ;-) This yellow JEM Jr. is sold out. I have seen a comparing video to the RG 550 and there is not a really big difference. The sounds comes from the finger and not how expensive your gear is or what technique you play ;-)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks man 😊

[@christiantaylor4027]

I usually play this with my eyes closed and standing on one foot. with one hand tied behind my back while saying the alphabet backwards walking a tightrope on fire. but that's only if I want to show off a bit. But this is good too. I'll have to try it. And have someone spot me cause I might lose my balance. Good job Elmo. I thought you played cool and that's what really matters. Rock on!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cheers!

[@RulgertGhostalker]

Elmo,
do you have any suggestions to treat aching carpels ? .... EDIT: all kinds of stuff on it here, just figured you would know.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Sorry, no suggestions.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

@@MrPolevaulter nothing worked ... that's the answer, nothing .... you just stop playing for a bit.

[@wasichu66]

Yes, yes...but can you play Wonderwall? didn't think so. hehehe

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha 🤣

[@philnicol8072]

Sweep picking, legato, and slight whammy bar vibrato.
All first class.
Get yourself in the Steve Vai band as a backing rhythm and lead guitarist.
You've got the goods. 🎸 👍

[@juanlosquino5581]

Brutal, I want to play like a blinded Elmo!!!!!

[@gitarzero111]

That's what youtube is for! Absolutelly brilliant. It's incredible to do this without cheating. And anyway. I respect you bro!!!

[@daniellarson3068]

So I had the radio on in the car the other day. I heard this advertisement to sell tickets to "Australian Pink Floyd." I thought that was cool. Apparently, they are one of these tribute bands. There have been tribute bands for the people who were famous when I was a little kid like the Beatles and the Doors. There's a lot of people out there who would have liked to have seen these bands but, of course, can't. Elmo is a very good musician. This video shows that he is a showman. I just had the thought that maybe he could be the "Finnish Malmsteen." or something. I suspect Yngwie Malmsteen isn't touring all that much these days. Do they do the tribute band thing in Europe? It's just a thought. Thanks for the video.

[@scottnoricsson2023]

this is much better than Vai's rendition, has all the inflections et al, but there are more sequences , picking, legato, combined, and tapping... yep, like this a lot
