The first time i saw this i was like "lol ok, clearly sped up." Then i saw him live and i was like "lol ok, hes clearly sped up in real life too"

I can't even imagine how fast his left hand would be without the 20 pound watch

I flunked out of high school for practicing guitar basically non stop and I’m still not even in the same galaxy as this guy. If I had known Jason Richardson was gonna exist I would’ve just paid attention and did my school work 🤣

It’s difficult to even comprehend how Jason’s mind works. I’m an older dude who has played for over 3 decades and I absolutely recognize Jason’s greatness. He’s totally more than just world class technique; He’s got loads of feel and soul in his playing. Gonna be fun continuing to hear what Jason creates in the coming years.

40 years listening to rock and metal guitarists and Jason Richardson has left me speechless. Awesome..

People keep wondering if he sped the video up at 2:48, but fail to notice he repeats the same sequence a second time not even 15 seconds later at the same exact speed without the video ever changing pace. Just accept the fact that he’s mastered the art of shreddy fingers. As for the track itself, bet half of the critics would be in awe and baffled, should it be transposed onto a piano and they’d revere it as a true display of classical composition taken to new heights. Let the man reap the rewards and respect he deserves for all his hard work and effort. This track was a masterpiece.

You are the best evolution of John Petrucci.
I can hear his influence in your way of you are adding some unique magical notes.
You are with no doubt one of the greatest around today.

Watching Jason play reminds me how important it is to practice guitar standing up. There's no use being a proficient couch musician unless you're a studio artist. Adding this to my pre-practice inspiration playlist.

Notice how his left hand move. When he sweep, he avoid barring the chords...It mean that when we play that major chord where were barring the B-G-D string. Jason will play with fingers 2-1-2 instead of 2-2-2. This is just unreal how this guy is amazing. OMG

To everyone who says he can't write a song:
Write down the song structure, analyze it. Watch and listen to the riffs and placement of licks. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's garbage.
Dismissing beautiful, emotional songs like this is arrogant and narrow-minded. I pity whoever doesn't see this type of music as wonderful and valuable.

That just caused a rip in the space time continuum

I can understand why a lot of people think that this is just speed. But the same way people who aren't metal heads call metal noise, no matter what metal it is, sometimes people just don't understand this kind of music. There's a lot of musicians out there that are just soulless speed, this guy is not one of those people. There's just, so much power and rage in there.

When I’m able to buy a new guitar 🎸 again oneday I plan on learning all your solo music stuff and I’m gonna go high action on my guitar and play it at the best of my ability!
Been away from guitar due to my mental health and head trauma and amnesia I suffered back in 2018! I’m all better now 2016 was last time I played and I plan on getting back into it soon just one day at a time.

I could do this, I just don't wanna. /s

This guy sweeps like a Janitor with 75 years of experience.

Had chills down my spine the whole song. What a song.
