is there even...

[jani92jani]

Is there even thing as "easyest mab song " ?

[xavierf]

To me No Boundaries is Mike's easiest song.

[jani92jani]

I can pick fast enough(alternative parts) but its freaking sloppy. tough i feel that i am much better on sweeping than on normal alternative piking parts.

[Dr. Cloud]

Tribute to Randy isn't too bad. Just the solo.

'Prog' is the easiest one for me to play. It's fun too because you can play whatever you want during the F# phrygian groove parts, I love to improv. I just got the backing tracks CD so that'll be fun to jam to.

[raddy]

[Dr. Cloud]

I've been learning China and it isn't brutally difficult.

Are you even kidding!! or maybe you were refferring his hardest song.
Anyways the easiest song to play of Michael Angelo is Don't go(Nitro) or if u are a bit more of a linear player then heaven's just a heartbeat away(nitro)

[M7GT]

Maybe Johnny Died On Christmas

[blackorchidx]

lol some crazy picks on here,

prog and no boundaries easy? i'd like to see that

[S-H]

There has to be, by definition, an "easiest" MAB song (or songs), but that song will change from player to player because players between "beginner" and "high-intermediate" levels are, as a general rule, more proficient at 1 or 2 aspect(s) of technique than the others.

No-one on here, that I've heard, is anything above high-intermediate so I'll be shocked if people are equally in control across all the different mechanical aspects of technique, let alone the musical elements!

Having said that, "Prog" and "No Boundaries" will not be in the 2 easiest MAB tracks regardless of how good you are. Even if your sweep-picking is god-like, playing "No Boundaries" (the whole song) cleanly will take some playing. Frank Gambale wouldn't find it easy.

exactly, there is a lot of self glorification in learning a piece of music that is a high standard, but...
sometimes the notes themselves are not enough

if prog or no boundaries are easy, i'd like to hear it, theres probably at least half a dozen flaws from the opening passages.

I think there's a boundary (despite its title lol) as no one can play 100% clean all the time, not even Mike.

It's certainly not easy to play it at a sufficiently clean level.

Oddly enough, while "Don't Go" is probably Mike's easiest song to play, it's probably also the song of his that would reach highest on the Billboard charts if you could choose for any one of his songs to have the opportunity be re-released next week and to be played on the radio in what I believe the radio programmers refer to as "heavy rotation" (a song that gets played lots of times every day on that station).

As for the question of what his hardest song to play is I would guess either Time Traveller or Science Fiction. I think Time Traveller probably has the most difficult guitar solo of any of his songs. I'd be interested in knowing if some of the really fast repeating licks in the Time Traveller solo were played using some economy picking or if they were all strictly alternate picked (excluding any obviously sweep picked arpeggios of course).

I actually believe that may be true but I think Nitro's best song is "Heaven's Just A Heartbeat Away" on their Gunnin For Glory album, followed by "Don't Go" and "Johnny Died On Christmas" in third. Also those are Michael's three easiest songs to play.

[Jason]

I personally think "Dial in that frequency" is the easiest to play but that's just me.
