Go download Guitar pro and dl the tab.
The first 90 or so bars are approachable, after that it's difficult. I just played a 2 1/2 years.

pretty hard to play. He does some sweep picking which is pretty hard in of itself.

Most of it is pretty simple, then he starts throwing in high-speed picking, right hand tapping and sweep-picked arpeggios. Aside from those things, a mid-level guitarist could learn most of that piece without a problem.

I used to teach a little until I've quickly realized it was bad business. (try doing business when your customers are broke poor musicians..)

First part is pretty easy, once he really starts rocking out it's really tough. Not at first, he's just playing power chords, but a few minutes in is when it gets hard. JeryC's version was even crazier; he had some really sick sweep picked stuff.

the only difficult part is the sweep picking.

If you want to see ****** that will blow your mind, Michael Angelo Batio. FTW

most of that rendition he did I think i could learn in a day, nevertheless, good job by the kid in the video.

I could play most of that if I practiced it, with the exception of the sweep picking. I just can't seem to master sweep picking. I'm a semi-competent guitarist, I guess.

There really isn't much sweeping in this if any. I hear some hammered arpeggios though.

Maybe I can make an instructional vid on the harder parts of this if I get enough interests....
