Mercenary - My Secret Window Solo

[UseTheNukeQuick]

6 wors:HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

[Iskate2metal]

how do you tap like that? Whenever I try to tap something, When i take my finger off to go to a different string, the string makes the sound and blocks out the rest of the tapping

[XaWeSoMeGuItArZx]

Just love that EPIC solo!

[TheSilvaJackson]

Every video I have seen you in you are always playing a Caparison. I have been thinking about the Horus but not sure yet. Your tone is amazing. I love my Rhoads but not sure if I should sell it in order to put down for a Caparison. Would you recommend it or just purchase a Horus? Stuck in the pickle here.

[bcg12188992]

[bcg12188992]

[villarez]

Amazing solo dude...

Congrats...

[shadowmark27]

[Malikuniversotomb]

What is the song in the introduction?

[eiohd]

you are great you can give me advice how to get faster fingers



[CheeseCakeee]

nailed it.

[Forveller]

As always a graet cover of a great song :)

Can you tell me what song you used for the intro?

[grievous56]

@Forveller

That would be Thoroughly at Home by Animals As Leaders. Amazing band.

[Forveller]

@grievous56

thanks :)

[schecter707]

time to start practicing again

[Totentanzvolta]

I Love your Tune dude :D!

[CobHatecrewNor]

"attempt " is an understatement.

[rustedkatana]

Dude you are a total badass!!!

[ShowNoMercy502]

Good stuff man, I really hate most of the 'LOOK WHAT I CAN PLAY' videos on Youtube because honestly, it's usually very sloppy or in poor quality. But this is crystal clear, and perfect note-for-note. I was hoping to find a good live video of Mercenary playing this song themselves because it's my favorite by them, but I can say this definitely satisfied me and that's saying a lot considering how much I hate cover videos on youtube. Kudos!!

Also you nailed the tone just as well as the solo itself

[Wowthatsfreaked]

A-fucking-mazing!

[hospitalhunting]

whats the bridge PU? Crunch lab or D-Sonic?

[samarzijadado]

Wow,that's a cool solo,i might look up Mercenary :D

[deathtristania123]

i need your tabs where can take it?

[deathtristania123]

u are the best

[deathtristania123]

awesome

[edguyrocks]

Did Mercenary call it quits? I think someone told me that.

[bshelbytw]

@edguyrocks not quite, the singer, bassist, drummer, and keys player left... they guitar players and bass player/singer are still carrying on and are currently in the studio recording w/ the new drummer and a guest keyboard player

[CobHatecrewNor]

Holy shit that was good, and DAMN that Horus looks so amazing. DAMN!!

Are you a member of the caparison forum btw? :)

[youngcristian]

i respond this video!

[NovembersDooom]

Fuckin beast mode!

[Painkiller86]

Liam, when you figure out solos, do you ever slow them down in something like Sound Forge? Or can you just hear em in real time and whip em out?

[Koujinkamu]

@Painkiller86 I can't speak for Liam, but I play the mp3 in VLC player, where you can put the speed anywhere between 25% and 400%... listening off the notes usually happens around 40% for me - but maybe Liam can do it in real time, I don't know how good he is. Sorry about butting in.

[Shyuum]

What is the intro song?

And by the way, How old are you? You look younger than me Haha!

[a7xfan1632]

in what tuning do they play?

awesome cover dude,keep rocking!

[vector222]

@a7xfan1632- i believe they play on 7 strings

[Tehevilpie]

Whats the intro song in the vid? Great solo btw.. :)

[stoutmeister91]

Where did you get that Soilwork shirt from man, I can't find it anywhere on the net and been dying to find it 'cuz NBC is my all time fav from Soilwork. And that my friend, was a beautiful solo and Mercenary is one of my other favs.

[NapalmNewt]

That tapping part is soooo awesome.

[WinternightTragedies]

Caparison, Soilwork, Mercenary? 5 Stars!

[drumfisch]

thank you so much, taht solo is pure emotion, honest metal man, thx

[frenchxtoastx87]

fricken great!!

[Wattyb2]

This is one of my favorite songs by them...

Such a simple song overall, and then he just busts out this insane solo that fits so well.

Great cover of it, you nailed the tone and phrasing.

You getting all of that from the POD X3, I'm thinking of picking one up, and if they can do that....

[Arktoxus]

Its funny how you always end up covering the songs i personaly wanna cover as well :P Good job on the solo mate!! and animals as leaders at the intro was a nice touch aslo :P

Stay brutal

[demonofkhorne]

[dbage46]

AWESOME. Great band to cover!

[themartinman307]

Hey Liam, I've watched this vid a few times over cause it's so sick...especially your tapping from 0:47 to 0:57. You definitely make it look easy man. Im still wondering what track is playing when your name pops up at the beginning. What the hell is it???? I wanna listen to it!!!!!!!!

[erenoi]

animals as leaders - thoroughly at home

:)

[Eudae55]

great work. i just got goosebumps all over my body just watching that skill right there

[papegojaz]

can one have a sweeter shirt?

[Jesushobo]

Yes can't believe you covered this! Best album of 06' this was.

To all those who don't have this album BUY IT!

One of the greatest melodeath releases in my collection.

[egetaskuun]

Yoda.

[glassprisoner417]

[themartinman307]

Fuck yeah!! Nicely done....666 stars.!

[DriftingInFlames]

Holy Hot dicks from Hell...

Liam man holy shit that was imensse, When I heared you playing that i ordered the album after watching it like 6 times, you are imo the best musician on youtube, with top fucking notch playing skills, and your taste in music is fucking awesome to say the least. 5 stars. And any chance you could send me the tab for this? i figured out some of it but getting abit stuck :/, i think youve still got my email address but if not could you give me a shout please. Thanks man

[Koujinkamu]

[gromanjr]

[2doormassacre]

........... OUTSTANDING

[Asphyx123]

You're right, it's the "hours that remain" =). I bet it's a late-night-video-editing typo, hehe.

Anyway. Great job. I love Mercenary. I remember when their 11 Dreams album was released it was my favorite for a long time and I still listen to it quite often.

[level8]

Isn't it called "The Hours that Remain" or have I had that wrong all this time?

Anyway, awesome stuff! 5 stars

[InsanityInManyForms3]

[AnthonyParalikas]

GREAT FUCKING INTRO SONG!

You my friend, have the best taste of music on youtube.

[mrp5150]

Awesome job man. One of my favorite Mercenary songs. That solo definitely has a Peter Wichers vibe to it.

[DrAter000]

Holy....Shit.

[erinxrawrx]

You're pretty good :]

Dreams can come true.

CHEESY SONG.

[shadowbot09]

'yeah you know, being as good as John Petrucci is sooo easy, but unfortunately I don't have the time to practice'

[viperabs]

Man I wish I had all the time on my hands to learn these solos. The playing part would be easy ;)

[LiamENGL]

I can send you a tab so you don't have to figure it out if you'd like. I'd love to see a vid you of playing it if it's so easy for you.

[viperabs]

Like I said, if I had the time. I focused my free-time years of guitar getting technical ability. Its just idling until I can settle into some time. I'm following your videos because you've shown a distinctly similar taste as I have, and then shown me bands (such as this one). Keep posting!

[billyanderson19]

@LiamENGL  please send me a tab this solo is epic!

[Overture2152]

@LiamENGL man if i could learn tapping like that -_- fucking short ass fingers...

[XaWeSoMeGuItArZx]

[SigroTh]
