How to Livestream a Shred Legend: Michael Angelo Batio 2017 Live Interview
I've been a fan of Troy Grady's Cracking the Code lessons for years at this point. When I heard that Troy was sitting down with Michael Angelo Batio, I was excited to see what the shred legend had to say.
I got on so early and contacted their producers that I was able to ask Michael a question about hand synchronization. He gave me some great tips, talked about his career, and answered other questions as well. He seemed like a really nice guy, and he's a beast on the guitar.

This post from Guitar World has a video of the entire live stream, and also has Troy breaking down how he actually got the live stream going (which was a feat in itself!)
