Great playing. Although, a little criticism. There is an awful lot of shredding, and I think you should save the shredding for that "zing" moment as Jeff stated. It seems to be very fast, almost all the time. Agreed; a show like that will not focus solely on the fact that you can play that fast, nor will it take you very far. Anyone who watches that can recognize you can play; but you should work to find a way to where you can work in your chops into a manner that appeals to the ears of not just guitarists, or fans of the guitar. Hopefully this makes sense. Your playing is great, and I am always a fan of MJ renditions. Peep out this cover of Smooth Criminal by ALIEN ANT FARM. I am sure you have heard this, but I feel they did it justice.
