A friend of mind is a big fan of Batio and we were talking music, etc. He's a metalhead, while I'm not. He said lemme show you something, and it was an instructional vid by Batio. I have to say I was very impressed. Not only by his musicianship, but his ability to explain what he was doing. I guess I was pre-judging him from a few youtube vids I've seen of him, and didn't happen to like what I saw. So I have to take back what I said about him. Not that I'm gonna run out and buy a cd by him. But to say the least, I was very impressed.
