What's really cool about this is he is obviously playing along with his own created MMO type of background music. I don't want to sound like him. However I like the effects of those fast riffs he does and want to incorporate those types of effects into my playing. I already have, but now I'm going to really polish it and make my playing a lot more impeccable.
These particular fast types of riffs don't go too well with New Flamenco music. Mainly because there is not much place for distorted guitar sounds in New Flamenco music. They do up to a point. Beyond that point they don't fit. So I'll be working on developing a style that embraces heavy metal, Classical and New Flamenco. I usually turn the treble all the way off when I play along
with Spanish music. Unfortunately, the very fast riffs get somewhat buried when there is not enough treble on the guitar. This is the "woman tone" that Eric Clapton made
famous in the old days of Cream. It works best when I play slide. If people are to comment I want people to say that I sound MUCH BETTER than Malmsteen. Let's face it, the guy is not very wholesome and his way of life is obviously tearing him apart. He doesn't look so young and beautiful anymore. Selling your soul to the devil obviously eventually takes a 'hell' of a toll on your complexion.
Yes, much, much better and more beautifully wholesome than Malmsteen is the goal for me. Better in all wonderful ways.
