A good player but really he's just a super vai/satch fanboy who has absolutely no origionality in his playing...

Guitar players can be so damned hard on other guitar players. The guy is good, very good. Even if he wears his influences on his sleeve.

Re: Have you guys seen this Dude!


yep, I watched a lot of his vids a couple of days ago, like others have said, the guy is a superb player who also has a lot of influence from Yngvie...

If I could play like that I would stick two fingers up to those who questioned my originality and ask "can you play it?"

he made me want to sell all my guitars and give up - my favourite vid was of him playing the baby guitar

Re: Have you guys seen this Dude!


I never said theres anything wrong with it. I'm only comparing him to other newer players like Bumble, Mattias, Guthrie Govan, Bob Zabek,Balducci and other players. So when you do that, he's just another cookie cutter bedroom shredder fanboy, of which theres tons on youtube.

I just call it like I see it...

Re: Have you guys seen this Dude!


I thought he was awesome, and I particularly liked the video of him and Paul Gilbert sharing the stage. I have no delusions of being the next Vai or Satch, but it sure would be nice to at least imitate them.

Turn your metronome on.
The majority of people who always say they can't play like this or that player(not talking about you)don't study even 1 hour a day.
They think they will fall asleep and in the morning they'll play like their idols.
Gustavo is an awesome player but a terrible composer cause you all can see he not only uses other players licks as he uses the same modulations and stuff.
Nothing wrong about SOMETIMES sounding like our idols but all the time?
Come on if you like any other guitarist lick,learn it then change it and create something different.It's not that difficult cause music theory is the same to everybody.
Just the other day a guy from other forum asked me how I play sweep arpeggios so clean?
I said=lock your bedroom's door,disconnect the phone and turn your metronome on.
No God or any magical creature will give it to you,you have to study.
Still Gustavo is an awesome Player and a cool guy.

NOTHING wrong with that either!

I've never been a songwriter. I don't enjoy writing songs. I don't really want to.

I do enjoy being able to play everything Satch has recorded note for note. That's why I play guitar these days

ivan said it best, the guy looks like he's having fun and that should be the most important part of playing guitar for anybody.

(unless you're doing it strictly for the money, then you might as well work in Starbucks or be a lawyer)

Completely agreed perhaps he uses what all other guitarists created in HIS own songs.He's not playing other guitarists songs like you said you do(I do enjoy being able to play everything Satch has recorded note for note),he's playing his own songs made by copying and glueing other guitarists licks.
I do enjoy playing Satch,Vai,Malmsteen note for note too in my bedroom,they're roots for everybody,but at the stage I like to show my music and it cannot be a copy of something somebody did.
And saying he's having fun is very naive,he's doing those faces just to put some emotion into notes,he doesn't do those faces in his bedroom or when he's alone.
We're in 2009 and still there are people who believes in ACTING.
He's not having fun he's making money making videos to sell his stuff,nothing wrong about it but that's ACTING.Alone he doesn't do those faces.Neither Vai or any other.
I bet Vai doesn't lick his guitars when he's alone.It's acting.
There are players who doesn't make those faces and people say they don't play with their souls !!!!!
So the smartest ones make faces to people say hey he plays with his heart and soul,look at his face he's having fun!
Oh man LOL
