The other contestants listen to him and accept the fact that this guy has spent hundreds of hours locked in his bedroom practicing scales and arpeggios. They recognize the pure talent through self sacrifice. Just hard work. Just like studying for hours to have an exam. But this guy gives pleasure to all of his audience. An algebra test just ain't the same.

Thank you so much! All of what you said is completely true. For almost 8 years now, I’ve locked myself up in my room practicing until I nail what I try to practice. Which does sound depressing now that I think about it, but I was willing to choose passion over friendship. I knew if I fully dedicated myself to music, I knew that it would affect my social skills, making friends and even keeping friends. After all of this amazing support, I don’t regret any second of it!

Please don't take this as me hating on you, or telling you to give up your dreams because that's genuinely not what I'm saying. I think you're a beast at guitar and you should never underestimate your talent. Just don't let it keep you from socializing and creating memories/relationships with people. I promise there's room for both. All that said this performance was killer and I think you're extremely talented. Never stop doing what you love!

Eddie Van Halen was the last of the original Guitar Heroes. He's probably looking down at you with a big grin on his face. But he's also probably thinking, "C'mon young fella ... take it to the next level". Stay true to his legacy, take what he gave us and use it as inspiration to create something new. We all stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us so that we can see a little further than they could. Best Wishes to you from the Land Down Under :)

That big sur moon was astounding, its sad to see that no one knew it but then again Buckethead is basically unknown to most people.

Dude killed big Sur moon, Buckethead would be proud 🤘

You can tell the first section was his favorite part of the performance to play. My favorite to listen to.

Every guitar master "up above" is looking down and saying "damn, son, play it hard & let the devil take the hindmost!!!!".😃 YOU DIDN'T JUST KILL IT ~ YOU SLAUGHTERED IT!!!!

1:40 : (Girls in the audience start to go crazy, screaming, whooping and he got mobbed after his performance) Arturo: "Being such a shredmaster takes up a lot of my time ladies so form an orderly queue" 😄 Stellar performance Arturo keep practising those different styles you'll be a better musician for it and you're already well on your way. You obviously have a lot of discipline and dedication to your craft and in the words of ACDC for those about to rock, I salute you!
