Yeah, that's been floating around for a while. A true prodigy. RIP man.
this is the first time !!! Cool and thanks a prodigy indeed
Alright for 18, but all legato. Cheatting speed. Unimpressed.
Shoot, I wasn't even playing air guitar yet when I was 18. His solo is obviously influenced by Randy Rhoads.

Cheating speed ????
He's using to try to play faster than he can pick obviously. He's not using it for a stylistic legato application.

yeah i agree... he cant alternate pick at all.. although dime is one of my favorite guitarists, im not that impressed.. im 17 and i could do much better then that.. and thats not saying much.. and his pitch is awfull.. i guess he just had to mature as a musician for that part..

example?
A little too much delay for my taste. Kind of cool to see someone in the early years like that
Great find. Impressive he was back then too. :)
Keep in mind that it's 1984 when he's playing like that. Before Yngwie or Paul Gilbert or any of the real fast pickers hit the scene.
yeah... not fair... sucks when you see people yonger than you whore better, but then it is dime.. best of the best
whore better lol???...... i think you ment who are
Agreed w/ Stretcher7. This is back in '84, before there was an internet with thousands of refined online lessons teaching how to alternate pick like Yngwie with 3 weeks practice. Pretty good shredding at the time, esp. for an 18 yr. old.

Still, I bet if DD were still alive, he'd want this clip obliterated from the web. ;)
