JavanShred Maniac

Here's my take on Mr Batio I met him a couple of times and he is an extremely nice guy. Technically he is probably one of the most advanced guitarists on the planet. His background and music training are unmatched. The dude knows his stuff. I am a much better guitarist because of him and no on else. And trust me I've seen many. Shredding is his thing. One of the fastest guys on earth. Speed metal extraordinaire. So if your into lightning fast riffs this is your guy. I happen to enjoy speed picking and I'm almost as fast because I follow his techniques. He can play just about every style of music but he prefers the fast stuff. But if you enjoy melodic Beatles type stuff as I do ..than yes It does get old. He can seem pretentious in his YouTube vids about his travels to 50,000 countries etc. (so if your readings this Mike you might want to lay off about how knowledgeable and worldly you are because it can put people off and is irritating to hear in almost all your vids.) Just so you know. All in all he is a cool dude and very funny with his alter egos Robert (his subdued right hand) and Joey (his evil and outspoken left hand)
