This guy... WTF?

[Sascha Franck]

No idea whether he's really legit, but it defenitely seems like. Guys like Satriani and John5 commenting speaks in favour of the dude, too.
Anyhow, he's just completely insane. And I'm not into shredding usually, but this is absolutely incredible - total command of every aspect of the instrument. Boss level.

“He's definitely trying to push what a guitar could be”: Misha Mansoor joins Tim Henson and Tosin Abasi in praising this emerging virtuoso – who’s changing the landscape of progressive guitar

Shred’s finest new talent can add another name to the list of guitar heroes who have singled him out for praise

Yeah he's definitely making the rounds

Wow hand't heard of him - Spiro Dussias

Not usually my cup of tea, but good grief. That guy is insane!

Defenitely not my COT either, but you gotta be stunned by his command of really everything. And even if it's quite far away from the stuff I usually like, it's fairly easy to attest incredible musicality as well.

Indeed. Mind blowing in the same way the first time I heard/saw Matteo Mancuso.

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

Very impressive chops

 

[FuzzyAce]

Yeah, not familiar with him either. Amazing technique. Will keep an eye out for him now.

 

[Whizzinby]

That Neural demo is a little too much RitalinCore for me, but it’s unbelievable how precise and economical his playing is. Looks effortless. Dudes a beast.

 

[Sascha Franck]

You need to watch his Instagram stuff. He's doing crazy things like exploring and fighting latency - in some weird ways. The guy is obsessing on each and every detail, as it seems. Possibly in a good way even.

I remember when I first heard Igor Paspalj. Effortlessly playing Malmsteen stuff faster.

That's not even remotely comparable IMO. It's just fast and nothing else. Ultimately boring, too.

I guess tastes are different lol.

This is a real treat for my taste.

That is good! I can finally hear some melody. But what I first heard on Instagram by randomly picking about 10 clips was just insane BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

EDIT: wait! Igor Paspal and spirodussias are different guys? The BRRRR! I was referring to was the Instagram of Spiro from the OP

Sure, he's a great technician. But he's bringing exactly zero new things to the table. Have heard that stuff a gazillion times already.

 

[GuitarVST]

OK, I'm watching this video and I see zero new things on the table. Plus, it is not melodic.

Pretty bad example. Watch the guy's Instagram channel.

Huge meh, no fire like Yngwie has.

Now if he can do it live like this... :)

Add to that, Yngwie was likely shitfaced during this performance.
