I envy your hands

[dinoman89]

damn! What arpeggios did you use there?

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

Fantastic execution!

[DimaSkates123]

How do u get such a clean sound, I can sweep pretty good but I can't get a clean sound

[MelodicRazor]

Sick, im working on that intro its pretty difficult. \m/

[DanielSanHBA]

sweet! awesome job!! most players on here got jack shit on you. Simply cause you play tight flawless and very smooth!! Keep it up!!

[probassistNOT]

I love the sound of your guitar,very clean,good job :) it also looks nice :)

[jrn2b]

I love Wintersun. They are my favoret Extreme Majestic Technical Epic Melodic Metal band.

[VancoldGH]

Sounds nice.

Backingtrack is a little bit too loud, but i think you have some nice sweeps.

Btw... WINTERSUN ftw :D

[dominic508]

you just got it perfect man! and +1 for wintersun shirt 1 =p

[TheKush93]

good job man, just make sure not to rush... you're getting a little ahead of the beat there :P

[friskyisfat]

fucking spider fingers

[Nhagrok]

Wait... How many fingers do you have ?

Realy nive cover.

[Ranitoboy]

D= !! it sounds very clean.... I hate seep picking.... because I can't play them very clean =/

[phabi0]

You sound pretty clean, good skills! Just pay attention to the second-to-last note of each arpeggio, it seems the legato on the first string is coming too soon and "eating up" the note.

[Instantpotatos117]

hey which axe is that jackson soloist?

[robvk6]

@Instantpotatos117 ...slsmg soloist

[p4ulg1lb3rt]

[munehiroyamakawa]

Impressive. really impressive. Very clean, very precise, very everything.

[maidenicarus06]

Some of the cleanest sweeps ive ever heard nice job bro...

[PiercingTruth]

nice skills, must be an elf

[rromano4444]

I wish I had a guitar

[BlackOsker]

holy shit, now that's clean sweeping

[SNiPeZzzzZzz]

your playing is so smooth and clean !!

what guitar are you using???

I know its a jackson

[deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaath]

Its a Jackson slmg

[eareshel]

Not bad at all! I concider myself a fairly proficient guitar player, but sweeping is one of the techniques I don't really have the patience to master right now. Pretty hard to get it right, but I guess I'll just sit my ass down one day and play untill it bleeds...

[rexatar]

thats what i did :)

[Tb0neZ5]

where the fuck did you get that wintersun shirt?!?!

[escapinyw]

very good!!

[prawn87]

nice sweeping, nice jackson, nice t shirt.

[bojketic]

jeeeeaaaaaa!

[Didier147]

Very nice!!!

[Eggzotic88]

It's always weird to see people sweeping from their shoulder, but you def make it work. Nice job. :D

[skezness]

damn, i'm tryig to get that down for guitar lessons and i'm sounding like a mess, even slowly

[shredftw]

turn it up a little~

[thrashmakeup]

i must say this is amazing

symphony x is a kick ass band

[parquar]

thats the last time I trust  IcedOysterSymphony lol

[IcedOysterSymphony]

HOLY SHIT! *****

[phait08]

i wouldnt exactly call this an "intro guitar "solo"" more like just an intro..

nice tone btw

[Erithlon]

nice!!

(wintersun ftw)

[johnpeluco]

nice but i think u wanted to go the fastest so u had a little problem with rhythm

[parquar]

what is that a wintersun shirt or something?

[IcedOysterSymphony]

No, Symphony X.

Wintersun is sweet though.

[parquar]

really, it looks like a win as the first letters of it

[WinterMadness141]

It's a Wintersun shirt =]

[jonnitti]

epic tone

[vidzaratm]

your hand is like spider xD nice playing !

[GimbobSquarepants]

OH MY GOD that was AMAZING :D

[R0OPE]

hey man how did that bridge cost you and what brand is it i need to change mine on my slsmg

[SwallowedByTheTide]

DUDE.

That was fucking sick.

What kind of guitar is that?

[R0OPE]

its a jackson soloist slsmg

[SwallowedByTheTide]

is the jackson soloist slsmg thinner than the ibanez S series guitars?

[rexatar]

yes, much

[johnp1983]

Fantastic playing!!

[StevenMalmsteen]

Neat shirt :)

[Vansaligh]

5/5

excellent playing dude

[HOOKY1THE1CRIPPLE]

goddamn is that awesome, very nice sweeps u make it look simple

[oron1000]

i got da same guitar

[Dazsturbed]

Man those arpeggios are hard and you did them so clean

[brush200400]

good job not too many youtubers can sweep cleanly, unlike myself, and apparently you

[Letstakethemic]

that is amazing.. seriously amazing.. ;)

[BigAZChicken]

what effects do you use to get that sound?

[WinterMadness141]

I don't use effects. On this video it's just my Jackson SLSMG going through my Roland Cube 20X. I'm just using a high gain setting with a touch of reverb. The p.u. in the neck on my Jackson is an EMG 89, unlike the 85 that comes as standard in the SLSMG.

Thanks for watching =]

[HellRider111]

Cool

[stratman687]

nice job man, i got a question: when you pick up three notes on the same fret but going up three strings, do you bar them or move ur fingers on those notes?

[WinterMadness141]

I bar them, but I roll my finger so it doesn't play it as a chord. =]

[n3r3m4c]

Haha I have the same guitar but your bridge is gold. Was that on there when you got it or did you put it on? Great sweeps by the way, very clean.

[WinterMadness141]

It was on there when I got it, as was the EMG 89 in the neck position and all the gold hardware. The guy I bought it off put it on himself.

[RabidxPanda]

ive been spending tonight learning this...the arpeggios are all the same shape right?

[WinterMadness141]

No, there are actually a few different shapes in it. Keep trying, though...!

[RabidxPanda]

thank you ^_^ ya i found it was like the minor shape up and hten the major shape down (yes im a noob and i dont know my jargon) for most of it cept for the end

[evilskin]

O.O

my hat is off to you.cause i think i just shat myself.

[carson123987]

awesome job. Youre right hand control is perfect

[varador]

out fucking standing. well done.

[MetalCoreDevistation]

i want your shirt

[calientangeleshot90]

man u rock! youre great!

[Luxpalloris]

perfect playing dude, very clean sweeping. i also like your sound. keep up the practice. 5 stars from me.

check out my version of smoke and mirrors and please rate

[fayssal21]

very good playing

plz how do you can play this ??:)

[Cizzie888]

Wow, great sweeping!

[TreborJanessIII]

Well played!!! How long did it take you to learn that? I'm just starting! lol

[WinterMadness141]

Thanks man! It didn't take too long to learn, however it did take a few months to be able to sweep at that speed accurately. Once you can sweep pick, however, you'll be able to tackle something like this with relative ease..! =]

[wyldskyfire]

i've never attempted to learn sweep picking, you just inspired me bro! nice guitar btw ;)

[illegalkid2]

You look like the dude I went to ACM with ....

[TrollAcademy]

good playing and nice sound,

michael romeo is great,

[warlock91]

that was so cleanly done...fucking amazing

[zargathis]
