Dave Murray I feel is a very under appreciated guitarist. It's nice to see him getting the respect and recognition he deserves by artists like Faulkner...

[SpinalAlloy]

Definitely one of my favorite guitarists!! I wish I could have someone like him in my band!!

[SteveMahoney]

Hey Tommy! Good to see you doing these. Keep rockin. Oh, Richie is cool, too.

Thanks Richie, Dave Murray is not a guitarist like Vai Satriani etc but he is one of the great 80s and 90s guitarists of heavy metal.

FOR SURE don't look like an emo teenager when you are 47 years old.

[EricWW]

Honest Opinion.

EMG should just make another channel for these "lessons"

[ruiplas]

And u can tell that old emo dude definitely have no idea who Schenker is

[Locoandchooch]

Hahahaha who gives a shit what people look like? I didn't know I was sharing vids with perfect human specimens.

[kennyken]

Is he ashamed of his SLASH influence?
I'm fucking dead sure that 33 percent of his phrasing came from SLASH...great player though, his improv skills is flawless
