1. His Technique Is Superb

Love his tone, too.
Love his ultra-subtle use of the whammy.
Solo starts fugue-like then becomes very linear. I favor that string muting he does, especially on the lower pitch strings. I do that a lot.
The song seems like prog-metal.

4. Too Bluesy For Me

Sorry. I'm good with deep roots acoustic blues, but I can take or leave electric blues.
I'm sure he's good, but I have a hard time listening to a whole tune.

Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER

The second guitarist that’s part of the touring band is great too.

5. The Guitar Is An Ibanez RGD

Elements of the JS series & the JEM, but has a 1" longer scale, intended to be down tuned (commonly D, with a drop C 6th string).
I played one at Chicago Music Exchange a couple years ago. Feels weird at first. He sure looks like he got very used to it.
Nice looking guitars, except for one model I don't like. The Custom he's using is probably over 3 grand. For him, that's money well spent.
You're right about the other guy.
