He's good but the volume of the guitar is really less and the reason the guitar doesn't ring out at the end is because he turns the volume down you can see him do it just a few seconds before he hits all the open strings
@MedinasGuitar yes many guitarist can play fast, but herman play with the soul of slash and the speed of michael angelo batio, if you don´t belive me watch his face ;) li you rule
@ArranHumphreys Bro, not only is that so repetitive since a bazillion people said it already, but for that, it's extremely old. In other words, you're not funny.
@UnknownSect333 Yeah I have seen him alot on Betcha Can't play this. But c'mon he's not that insane all the time.......Herman's like this ALL THE TIME in all of DFs songs. I mean just look at the TTFATF's solo.......you can't even keep up with those......those....things moving on the guitar.
@TekkenElite It only sounds faster because of all the editing and effects. He is playing fast, but not as fast as he seems to be. But listen to War of the Angels by Rusty Cooley, and it'll make TTFAF look easy!
@UnknownSect333 What effects are you talking about? I've heard them play live and its the same as that in the studio.......They make their own effects on the go while playing.....editing would only mean they could never play Live the way they way they play in the studio.
@TekkenElite The effects they use in the studio, the most notable one being that Staccato-like thing. And every live video I've heard of them sounds diminished or just... Off... Everyone edits their studio versions of their songs, but Dragonforce seems to go a bit overboard with it. It is a huge risk to do such a thing though, so I'll give em that.
@UnknownSect333 Well everyone sounds a little "off" playing live. I dunno, I like all the effects they put in between their already superfast paced songs. I mean sure MOST of their songs sound the same if not highly similar but its the different tones and effects they use in them and all of their solos is what keeps me hooked making every song unique. And yes all songs have a unique effect in them. I stand by it though, Harman is probably one of the greatest ever *_*
@TekkenElite True. Well, if it's what you like, it's fine by me. I just prefer full quality guitar playing like Vinnie Moore or Tony MacAlpine. Now they're unique! And um... It's "Herman" lol
@goldberg611 mate when you stop playing you turn the volume down like he did.. it's not unplugged. The funny thing is how the hell does the switch makes more noise that the strings? This must be some really old strings I suppose..
y do ppl always put danny jonhson herman li or anyone with the ablety to move there fingers super fast say they finger a girl then she dies i dont care its bullshit to say that. dambass's
@mousecheese5 I have tons of respect for this guys technical abilities, no doubt, but there just is. Sorry to offend, it was just a passing observation
Dragonforce are Heroes Of Our Time they have truly brought metal to the
Flame of Youth, which gives us reasons to live. As im writing this as we prepare for war, i hope to survive the scars of yesterday and make my last journey home.
But if i dont make it i know that my spirit will go on.
@MetaIIica93 that "someone" is Herman Li... the guy in the video and she "died" because his fingers were too fast for her that she ended up having so many multiple orgasms that she couldn't catch her breath...
yeah, i think he needs to work on the string bends and which scales to use when. there were moments in thus when i was like "really, you chose the chose the pentatonic scale?" his tone could use some work too, it was very dull. that arpeggiated part at 0:48 to 0:54 was wicked awesome though. not many people can pull of arpeggios like that on improv like that so i give him massive props for doing something that cool during an improv.
@Fluffypopcicle Dude seriously, i don't understand how you are trying to tell a guitarist from Dragonforce to touch up on his guitar skills.. seriously wtf?
nobody is perfect on guitar, i was just criticizing him because i have the right to do so and there were some problems with his playing. i'll criticize anybody. the only person i wouldn't ever criticize is shawn lane because he is um... well, perfect.
most of it isn't his music. from what i understand, sam totman writes most of the music in dragonforce. from my experience, a dragonforce song is either freaking amazing or some of the worst crap you will ever hear.
@holland28100 fail? mate, after one glance at your channel and seeing you've favourited a gay pride campaign, i'm sure now we both have differing ideas on what the real fail here is. hint, its not herman li
