[mad00002]

Thanks! The guitar is ESP LTD JH-600.

[Kodra]

Dude, you made it look so damn easy! keep it up!

[mad00002]

Some parts of this one are easy, yeah. Then again, this is the easiest part of the song. =) Thanks!

[mad00002]

:DDD

I know who he is. I just asked who jpob5 thought looked like Mustaine.

[jpob5]

its dave mustaine lol, but anyways good work

[mad00002]

Who´s Dave Mustaine? Or you mean I look like him? o_O

[mad00002]

Thanks! :D Yeah, timing´s a bitch with most of SX-songs. The good thing is, learning lots of SX songs makes timing with everything else easy.

[LordBeia]

Hey! This wasn`t to bad..some things though..your vibrato isn`t good..it isn`t in synch with the song, if you understand..work on that..and as said before, work a bit on your timing..this is one of the songs that sounds easy to play, but it is one of the hardest! many notes and some odd timing..very fun to play..keep on practising dude! after nailing the hole song, the satisfaction will be bigger than any other song in the world!!

[mad00002]

Thanks! I agree, the timing is very difficult in some parts. I have actually practised the whole song already. Haven´t gotten the solos up to speed yet, though.

Btw, could you upload your version for us to learn from?

[LordBeia]

Hey! My critisism was meant in a constructive way, I`m happy you understood. I do not have a camera, so uploading could be a problem.XD.. All respect for you for been able to play the hole song. That`s not easy!! Michael Romeo makes sure of that! If I get camera, this is the first song I will upload!

[mad00002]

Alright! If and when that happens, be sure to tell me first! I´m always looking for new Symphony X videos to learn from, especially the Odyssey ones.

[weenersaurus]

yay XD

[mad00002]

Yay! ^o^

[jensbjoern]

"Iinjoy" XD No offence though... Great cover! Is that an ltd esp? Looks like mine ltd kh-202, but yours without the skulls..

[mad00002]

Yep, ESP LTD JH-600.

[retard89]

I thought you played it pretty well, I just have one problem. Your hair! Shave it! Please for the sake of mankind, the parting, the parting... noooooo get it away! Yeah please get rid or I shall find you and do it myself. Thanks (Y)

[mad00002]

It shall groooow and groooow till it reaches China! :O

[Anirbanghost]

Don't take this the wrong way, just a bit of constructive criticism. For the second half of the Overture, you need to watch your timing. You tended to speed up the playing. But I really liked your guitar tone and you hit all the notes cleanly. Great job overall.

[mad00002]

Thanks! I´m always open to constructive criticism. You are right, there are some mistakes. Timing is difficult with lots of notes in this piece.

[xrazzletazzlex]

My god, you are brilliant!

[mad00002]

Thank you! :D

[DC2394]

Well...it's good, good as it can be anyway. Not exactly the technical masterpiece that smoke and mirrors was but I have to say I know it's coming, it is Michael Romeo after all!

[mad00002]

Oh yes, just listen to the song! No SX song has tapping and picking licks more difficult that The Odyssey. ;)

[c0xb0x]

Cool!

How's the wrist by the way?

[mad00002]

Thanks! It´s not bad at the moment, or the other one for that matter. I´m practising the finger picking part that comes next at the moment, which gives me a break from the usual picking stuff.
