I find his fretting hand memorizeing and fun to follow. Playing so clean and you can follow it really good at 60fps.
No idea where to post this, just saw it n wanted to share

Cool cool. Great guitarist and a great picker looks like a Marty Friedman style picking technique but I’m probably wrong 
. I wonder if its tabbed anywhere, I guess not but I like the melodies and modes he using be interested to see.

I think his right hand is more a Frank Gambale style.
His left to me seems so relaxed on the fretboard, and his fingers seem quite flat on the strings, opposed to more curved like most players.
He’s got some vids when Young shredding, so no doubt his fluid playing is from a lot of experience, I think that flat style using the underside of the fingers rather that just the tips comes about as you hand adapts to the guitar more over the decades. I have found myself using more and more of the finger rather than just the tips as I progress.
Edit: that was a relatively drunk assumption, Though I do think there is something to the flat fingering, lets you mute a lot better and is really economical
Interesting about the fingers you’re right he does have a very light touch I can’t say I’ve ever noticed that flat contact thing myself but I have had some big breaks in playing over 30 years so maybe I just never put the time in to develop it.
Seems like it could be a variation of harmonic minor also I see a couple of trademark yngwie phrases in there especially the 4s run down he does around the 2 minute mark. 626 views is poor I bet if he was skinny with long blond hair it would be a lot more I’m half joking 
Some great picking and index finger and middle finger tapping in this one this guys a legend !

Thats a pretty awesome composition, I didn’t see that one. The playing and camera work is so easy on the eyes, it’s great watching him shred.
David Wallimann just did a vid on that flat finger idea. He’s a great teacher and I think there must be something to it if he’s willing to put a video out on it. I’ve found it to be something to be aware of as you advance in your playing.
It’s not black n white, there is a gradient. But that flatish angle lets your hand relax in a way thats not possible using all fingertip.
Interesting yes, I will give it a try later see how well I can adapt to slight flatness. Might help with my finger joint problems too.

I find a few beers helps 
Though thats my degenerate nature coming out 
Seriously though, the added dopamine gives you that extra feeling in the hands. I think thats a bit of an issue tho as sober you are typically quite cold or numb and that can be a wall to overcome. I think there is a reason a lot of artists die young. Drug use/abuse…
