I never realized it until I just listened...and there you have it. It just shows you that the best musicians are heavily influenced by all sorts of music, and not just one or two genres. I guess that would be given in this case; Michael's "neo-classical" chops are out of this world and couldn't really come from just studying "classic rock" or whatnot. Stravinsky was a master...no doubt about that  |

If you want a fine example of Michael's work that's not shred and reflects his broad range of style, listen to Holiday Strings, or any of Michael's jazz progressions.
His control, feel and tone is so precise that no matter what genre he's playing, he has mastered it.
I'm often in awe of how he can restrain from shredding like a maniac in the middle of the traditional "Silent Night". ;D

I would say that Stravinsky is not the first "mentor" of Michael Angelo!
Indeed I noticed that some medolies look like "Paganini" melodies. Paganini was a wonderful italian violin player.
So I think (hey Mike, we guessed!!) Paganini is one of the mentors of Michael Angelo!!!

Correct, but michael is also influcend by many other players Yeah I guess! For instance Bach for melodies with the "bourdon"? how do you say in English? It is a note that remains the same (for instance a D) and you play other notes in between : ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ---12--0--9--0--7--0--9--0--5-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- How do you call the "D" in that example? In France we say the "bourdon"... |

The finish line is a rock n roll improvisation . I dont think he did it on purpose . Besides i have never read Mike listing Alvin lee as one of his influences

the repeated bourdoun or whatever you call it in french is called a pedal tone or a phrase using pedal point on the D or something like that. Using classical materials is catching on very quickly in the Jazz world. Especially that of 20th century composers like Stravinsky.

We call the repeated d a "pedal tone" in english. It derives from the organ days when they used pedals for sustaining through bars.
