  • Jani...

    Maybe you never gonna read my comment, but I loved Sonata with you, and it's hard to love it without you.

    Get a band... Make a band. You are, for me and many other guitarist, one of the best electric guitarist in the world. Some years ago, I had a dream, I wished to see Sonata arctica, but this dream faded when you had to leave the band.

    Come back, you'r metal, you have great ideas (remember "My Selene" !) and a huge guitar skill.

    - From France.

  • @Ymer40 He formed Cain's Offering. I mean it's kind of old news, but yeah, there you have it. Hopefully he does more stuff too.

  • 1:05 black diamond????

  • tab please???

  • I Tabbed the exercise B on guitar pro! Just send me a message if you want it!

  • his tone is great

  • bravissimo, molto pulito

  • This exercises works wonders for your pinky. I've gotten alot of strength in my pinky after practising this.

  • yay scales. That's the real way to play, just play your scales up and down the neck and don't come up with anything creative at all. Any 12 year old malmsteem copycat will think this is awesome. Hard to see how these guys are making instructional videos when they themselves suck.

  • @EpictheEpicest ust something i need to say. every solo is worked around a scale or a mixture of 2,3,4 or maybe even 5 scales. if scales arn't learnt your guitaring will be allright at best. Jani is a pheonominal guitarist, he can solo like mad, if you listen to his other stuff its very very creative. and plus in terms of mamlsten he himself is creative considerin he composes EVERYTHING you hear in his music not just the guitar parts. so erm yea.....fuck off

  • Just listen and find the notes..aim not that good..and i nailed it..but i played my fingers off..its quite hard technically..and i cant play as fast as he can..but eventally i can with a hell of a practise..this is not easy..but as i said listen and there you go!use this as a practise to listen and catch the notes..with ears... sorry my bad english

  • Who Ask For Tabs, ARE GAY, xD

  • those are really good excercices and really easy ones ( if u pay attention to the SLO-MO, and by listening to it!)

    it gets easy and really fun to play!

  • whats the technique called for ex-B???

  • @faazhaa It's only alternate picking with a pedal note. Practice it slowly and you will get it :)

  • Observen que le cuesta 2352323423523 veces mas hacerlo mas lento que hacerlo rapido XD

  • thats just so very very sexy

  • WOw COOL

  • where can i get backing track for this song?

  • i need those excercies TnT please can someone tell me where can i find them?

  • I can't believe people are asking for tabs! He slows it down for you AND they zoom in on his hand!

  • Where can i found the tabs?!

  • he has so good and fast fingers! If you can see he can put them over 3-4 frets from the fret, he's playing on.

  • pedal point \o/

  • He's a Fucking GOD

  • no he is not but i'd love to see how does god play guitar)))))))))))

  • great vid ... jani is awesome .... please can anyone give me a link for the tab of Ex-A and Ex-B?

  • Exercise B sounds like Black Diamond when played slow...

  • sooo agreed!

  • excersise two and three sound like black diamond by Stratovarius when played slow

  • Guys, you don't need a fucking tab. I've played for 2 years and I can play this. Just look at how he's playing, and use YOUR EARS. Ears are there for a reason.

  • @MagusGod  i now if u need tabs to play they probably cant play it

  • @MagusGod i can agree ive only been playing for 1 year and i got this almost instantly

  • @MagusGod well said

  • @loboDX182 Thanks. Although this was a long time ago and now I regret my harshness lol.

  • @MagusGod 2 years is alot bro, and its about 3 now lol but anyways yeah just watch the video when he slows down

  • TAB?

  • Probably prestige, look the pickups, there reads v7 on neck.. So probably japanese prestige, some like 5xx,6xx--1000-25xxx , dont know for sure.

  • Yeah it's just a prestige. I think he only has 2 LACS Ibanez's both of which have the sonata arctica logo on the 1st fret one is a custom RG and the other is a 7 string destroyer with a quilt maple top THAT I WANT SO BAD, it' for sale right now but it's like 4500 euros.

  • we want the freaking tab!

    we want the freaking tab!

    we want the freaking tab!

    we want the freaking tab!

    WHATS THE NAME OF THE GUITAR HE IS USING?

  • i tabbed the 2 first exercices ...when i tab the rest i will upload it...

  • @soadilias hey do u have the tabs..could u send to me..pls ill aprreciate it thanks!

  • usually he uses ibanez, so this is quite likely somelike that.

  • The guitar Jani is using on this video is an Ibanez RG2120XTB. As for tabs you can find them on ultimate-guitar but they are in guitar pro format.

  • his tone is kind of annoying

    and these exercises would be easier to figure out if he had inlays :P

  • Ex-B !

  • anyone got tabs for this lesson?

  • vous avez pas une tablature a me filer de cet exo la les gens ?

  • Tu peux regarder les doigts quand il joue au ralenti, ça passe nickel.

  • the Ex-B is awesome!!

  • fuck ur right!!!!

  • what son is he playing in ex 1?

  • I think he plays no song, just a part of the demo....

  • Man this is great for practicing... Great Guitarist.

  • Jani Liimatainen !!! the best !!! this video is awsome !!! I would like play mi guitar like him !!!

  • Y he left SA?

  • Because he didn't join the army, when he was younger... That's so fucked up.

  • That means that he will join SA again, right?

  • I have no idea... Hopefully!

  • he won't...go read some recent interviews...you'll find out

  • he was arrested and went to prison for a while until he agreed to complete the manditory service.

    can't be n a band if ur in prison for a month

  • cause he is sissy girl.

  • Like you mom...

    There are rumors of he not replying to tony kakos text messages but its all a lie.. They are friends and there were no personal problems in the band.. He may not return to sonata due to his wife and his son... Personaly, I wish he'd come back..

  • He's married????!!!

  • Lol wrong again idiots.

    "As many already know, our guitarist Jani Liimatainen has been absent from the lineup this spring and summer. The reason was his messing around with his compulsory military/civil/prison duty, or rather, complete failure to take care of it."

  • What son? what are you talking about.. you are makin that up jani doesn't have a son.. or does he?

  • I NOT making anything up! I'm just saying rumors I heard, not saying that I'm shure about it..

    But he does have a son, and that on his hand is his weding ring you know?

    If you dont know if he has a son or not how do you know I'm lieing? Just dont EVER call me a liar again! I Really hate that..

  • Liar...

  • Grow up...

  • ....liar

  • Grow up..

  • For those of us that don't have internet at home, I've downloaded this with keepvid com and loaded them onto my usb key, so I can take the exercizes home and practice :) just a tip.

  • lol are you serious? it has similarities to the fugue in d-minor, but surely it's not the same piece?

  • Sorry, I meant that's why they are similar to each other, Black Diamond and this demo. Because they are both inspired by Bach.

  • I guess your comment makes more sense now then

  • not similiar in any way. in the fugue you have a lot of repetition of the same note every other note, here, it's completely different

  • nevermind, i'm an idiot. LMAO!

  • if you were forced to use a shitty line six your tone would suck too, his live tone is remarkable

  • Jani we will miss you in Sonata too bad you left the band but good luck with your career you are amazing in these videos.

  • @benitinho7 he NEVER left the band, the band kick him out without tell him, that's even worse!! >:(

  • Que necesidad tienen de hablar español?

    Tabbing these would be easier if Jani didn't have only the 12th fret painted.

  • just look at it like four times and you should already memorize it at least half way.

  • I still can't figure out the last 2 notes he taps on the 6th string on the EX-C

  • Jippijaieij!!! I know have every one of these exercises on paper :D I don't know if i can make an tab cos my cpu broke a while ago. I'm gonna get a new one but after i've gotten my new rg so it is gonna take a while to get the tabs to u guys :(

  • j'ai essayé de faire le B ya quelques semaines (loin d'être a la meme rapidité) mais cest que maintenant que jai constaté que cest son PETIT doigt quil utilise...à une vitesse assez terrible...

  • Where can i find these tabs??

  • idk but there may be a demo tab on ultimate guitar.  if u find them though, could you please forward them to me?

  • up ur ass

  • Je viens de tabber l'exercice A et B. J'ai un petit doute sur la "montée" de l'exercice B mais c'est a 95% correct.

    Vraiment fluide p'tit con de Liimatainen!

  • he makes it look so easy lol

  • damn i cant get enough of ex-C!<3<3<3<3

  • exercise C was good but my favorite was exercise B its so intense.

  • Yes, sorry that Evil has take your place.

  • Im crying.....Beautyful!! Jani your a genius!!!

  • why didn't he play some of his own things?! :D

    Black Diamond is a good song, but too old. :/

  • this isn't black diamond :B

  • Though it sure sounds like it :(. Especially Ex.B instantly reminded me of Black Diamond. Still, awesome stuff Jani!
