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.
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

I dont give a mierda about your life, perra. no tengo ganas de ver el video repetidas veces, eso me tomaria tiempo, asi que prefiero que alguien me pase la partitura y listo. Igual ya me la pasaron. And if you didnt understand anything I said.......cagate por boludo.............perra
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.
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.
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..
"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."
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.
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...
Jani...

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

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
