on a side note, ive read into his signature "satch screams" and vaguely how to do them, but i saw the lead guitarist of dragonforce ripping them up even cooler when i saw them live a few weeks ago. he does like a pinch harmonic, then lifts his guitar up by the whammy bar and dives it using the weight of the guitar. its soo rad, and yea... i tried to do it the day after. not even gonna happen.
