    virtuosity constantly plays at the limit of overplaying

    Yeah, and that’s the thing. There are virtuoso players out there who know when to pull back and not just go blasting every time. I get that the video was a showcase so he was definitely trying to show his chops. His take on Animals As Leaders’ The Woven Web was actually better. Not surprising because it’s a prog metal song, but you’d think he’d be playing his ass off on that song instead.

      Yeah, fair. IMHO, he’s just really prone to overplaying in general, but it’s also expected in the genre he plays, and what I expect of him most of the time, I guess.
