The first 6 minutes may seem easy, with just some fingerpicking built on chords, but they involve really evil righthand tremolo picking and very tricky left-hand stretches, IT IS NOT EASY

paul gilbert doesnt speew he does string skipping and its not the same thing. steve morse is extremely versitile i think people should comment about the person in the vid. surely this is the point of commenting. steve morse an amazing guitarist!!

not that i don't agree with people that say vai, satriani, petrucci or gilbert are some of the greatest players ever, but they always seem to forget steve morse. well there are much more good guitarists then the ones i just named, but i mean look at his perfect technique (especially alternate picking arpeggios). its just godlike:P.

GENIALER TYP..geniale fingertechnik..nich nurDeep Purple wurden seinerzeit bereichert!WILL BLACKMORE NICH ABWERTEN,aber der kerl hört sich einfach besser an!!

I still prefer Ritchie Blackmore. Morse just doesn't fit it Deep Purple, in my opinion.

keep in mind malmsteen is playing his acoustic straight up to a mic and not directly through with added delay/reverb/chorus, etc.. which might explain the raw sound.

in my opinion each guitarist is best at what they're known for.. imo, evh? i mean, come on.. tapping. its his thing, his trademark so to say.. gilbert, fucking badass when it comes to alternate string skipping arpeggios.friedman,... good at.. uhh, you know, that eastern sounding shit or whatever that he does. lol. ya get my drift?? everybody has weaknesses but also strengths in their playing, its a just a natural human trait i think.. lol
