[hunter]

It's not getting any better, he keeps demoralising me

 

[Qweklain]

Damn, that kid has a LOT of talent!!

 

[JTyson]

Thats AMAZING....... I quit...

 

[gbsmusic]

Amazing is about the only word to describe that, for me depressing is very high on the list of words!!!!!!

 

[cyndicate]

Damn his playing is CLEAN!

 

[loudgtr]

Damn!! My fretting hand pinky went into spazms just watching that...and my picking hand just gave me the finger.

 

[jcj]

Bob Savage and I were in that room when they were filming. The kid RIPS

 

[jcj]

Very cool. He flat out rips...makes me want to quit. I dont care for the tone though and I am assuming the shrill sound is due to the camera?

Sort of......

 

[Valtiel]

I can make my left hand *look* like that, can make any promises about the sound coming out though.

They mention how hes influenced by Paul Gilbert, I imagine he tries to emulate his tone as well, hence the pickups being in parallel since that is also something that PG did quite often.
