Speed Kills 2 - Rain Forest by Michael Angelo Batio

Michael Angelo Batio performed Rain Forest on his 2006 DVD instructional video Speed Kills 2.

Speed Kills 2 is the follow-up to Speed Kills, the most popular guitar technique video of all time.

People are amazed by Michael's extreme shredding performances but they don't really understand what's happening in these videos. This piece is over six minutes long and what you see and hear is what you get. This was a three-camera shoot, which allowed us to cut between cameras to make the video more visually appealing. As everybody knows, when you cut to a different camera it could be from another take. Not here. We turned all three cameras on and let them roll for twenty-four minutes. During that period of time Michael performed the piece from beginning to end three times. This video is the third take.
