Megadeth - Set The World Afire (cover)

[tanofnder]

AAHHH ... por fin encontre un cover digno!... te felicito man te salio de maravilla :)

[bluelightx17]

you should make a close up lesson of this with tabs. not enough of them up there and you played it really good , i like your version sounds like the real one probly is. nice tail too man mines down under my back but not as long as yours i cant wait till mine gets there. nice playing man please teach

[SwedishBerzerker]

@bluelightx17 I don't know, I'm kind of busy right now. Maybe later. Cool! :)

[J0SlAH]

With better equipment you'd have an insane sound, nice work

[metalguitarZomg2]

Chris Broderick look alike!!!!

[zokoproko159]

Same tune like on album.

Great

[theexpendable11]

is the low E in drop D or no?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@theexpendable11 Megadeth used standard E on all records of the old days except for "Peace Sells", but that one was downtuned 1/4 of a step. So yeah, it's in standard E.

[MacStinglc]

@SwedishBerzerker and killing is my business

[BitchPleaseMETAL]

@SwedishBerzerker kimb is also 1/4 step, correct me if im wrong :p

[SwedishBerzerker]

@BitchPleaseMETAL That's right! :)

[killakerb]

could you possibly do tutorials on these

[Mofran56]

Awesome fuckin cover dude, basically spot on. Just the tone was a bit off :/ good job though :D just constructive criticism .

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Mofran56 Thanks! I never aim to duplicate the tone. What's the point? It's impossible to get the same tone unless you have the same amplifier or an amplifier with the same tubes and cabinet.

[tejedaAlex]

Hello me, it's me again, nice cover dude!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@tejedaAlex Thanks!

[TinyMustaine]

Can you put up a tutorial how to play this? You're awesome!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@TinyMustaine Thanks! Any specific part?

[TinyMustaine]

@SwedishBerzerker The solo, please :P just because I cant find any tabs of it online.

But all of it would also be nice, you're too good to catch up with. I've been pausing and counting the frets! xD

[SwedishBerzerker]

@TinyMustaine Oh, check out the description, there's a really good tab right there :)

[TinyMustaine]

@SwedishBerzerker Oh, thanks! Although I will admit I grow rather tired of tabs. If you put up a tutorial on the solo it'd be fantastic.

Or maybe the heavier part after the first riff. I seem to be having trouble there. I was actually having trouble with the tabs completely before I saw this video. It helped a lot too.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@TinyMustaine Alright, I can put a webcam tutorial for you. Not today but sometime next week if I remember it. :)

[TinyMustaine]

@SwedishBerzerker Alright thanks. :P

[shtdcte]

how long have you been playing guitar when you recorded this video?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@shtdcte Four years maybe. Perhaps three years of regular practice.

[dza264]

fuckin outstanding!

[GodsRodoG92]

Awsome cover man \m/ !!! The entire song is genius but 4:14 always drives me nuts ! lol

[UnknownDemoTapes]

awesome dude! do you have tabs?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@UnknownDemoTapes Please, as a habit, always check the description ;)

[cartersacc]

What a thorough cover. Amazing, man, great job.

[Erie685]

Good shit again bro

[GengarGang]

Wow! Yeah thats an amazing track from an amazing album, but I'm kinda Hooked on In My Darkest Hour, it's such a beautiful piece of Thrash Metal history ;3 keep it up please.

[DeathStroke32]

good shit man r u palm muting the intro

[SwedishBerzerker]

@DeathStroke32 Thanks! Yup, slightly.

[BossDarty]

good cover, wat amp are you using?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@BossDarty Thanks! Description ->

[MISAandLIGHTyagami]

What Font Is That?! o:

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MISAandLIGHTyagami It's the Megadeth font from cooltextdotcom ;)

[MISAandLIGHTyagami]

@SwedishBerzerker

Awwh(: Thank you!!!!! Imma go find it and blow up my MicrosoftPaint pictures ....& i draw an EPIC vic rattlehead...Time to scan and edit!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU FORVER FOR THIS!!!!!!! :D

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MISAandLIGHTyagami No problem! It's the "Chrome Two" logo style :)

[MISAandLIGHTyagami]

@SwedishBerzerker

YAY! I Gots it :D Thanks I Subbed!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MISAandLIGHTyagami Thanks :)

[MISAandLIGHTyagami]

@SwedishBerzerker

Hmm. It didn't look right. So I got it off MegadethDOTcom...(: Thanks Anyway :D You are STILL awesome. \m/

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MISAandLIGHTyagami Didn't look right? Are you referring to the space problem? The font is prone to uneven spaces between letters, so I sometimes have to re-edit it in Fireworks.

[MISAandLIGHTyagami]

@SwedishBerzerker

O, ha yeah. But its all cool. The font I got has the shadow and glow effects that it has on the album covers. Even the one from their new album, Th1rt3en! So it's cool. :D

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MISAandLIGHTyagami Ok, sweet :)

[gossage74]

holy shit you rip man good job!! awesome guitar work!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@gossage74 Thanks!

[chronofusion]

GOD DAMN.THAT WAS GREAT! long live the RAW RAGE METAL of megadeth and those who strive to achieve it. looking forward to their new album soon " Thirteen" or " 13 " i forgot if it is worded or numbered.

\m/

[SwedishBerzerker]

@chronofusion Thanks man! I hope "13" turns out better than "Endgame" because it just didn't feel as aggressive as their older stuff, except for a couple of songs.

[chronofusion]

@SwedishBerzerker i feel ya. For me..it was the same feeling as United Abominations. Sleep walker and Washington is Next..were about the only ones I listened to. to me, Killing is my business, So far..so good..SO WHAT, Peace Sells were the best so far. Then again I suppose to a reasonable extent us humans get spoiled to a certain ( sound) that these great bands have towards their beginnings and dont want them to change it even 10% let alone how craptallica did from black album onward

[SwedishBerzerker]

@chronofusion Yeah, and modern Mustaine's melodies seem a little forced.

[KicKassidy38]

@chronofusion its TH1RT3EN

[Sk8tboard123]

Väldigt rolig låt med många många riff!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Sk8tboard123 Jepp, det ska vara progressivt med mycket variation! \m/

[Ronzem2]

awesome

[billyslayer91171]

You Fuckin owned that Brother!!!!!.......GOOD SHIT!!!!!

[JasonRobertAnderson]

you are awesome!

[legojunk53]

Might wanna learn a spider chord, makes this a whole lot easier

[coleeo23]

hahaha great choice for guitar. You probably set the guitar on fire your were playing so fast. 0:58 is my favorite riff on this song.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@coleeo23 Thanks! It's definitely 2:30 for me, love that heavy part.

[dimebagdarrellftw]

@TheOzzybrass what the fuck are you supposed to do during a video? HUH? fucking stare the person watching the video? it's just gives you something to do and look occupied during the video

[facialwhiplash]

Dude... epic... that is all i can say... i don't know if they are really you're style of music, but you should do a cover of Bullet for my Valentine's song Dignity

[SwedishBerzerker]

@facialwhiplash Thanks! I don't listen to them, they're ok, but I've so much to do. I've got a solo album to compose and Megadeth covers to make! :P

[facialwhiplash]

@SwedishBerzerker yeah i can understand, it was just a suggestion cus that songs got some nice riffs

[joestalin327]

dude, nice.  don't listen to the haters.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@joestalin327 That jerk has been putting comments like that on several of my videos, but he lost his credibility the moment he touched his keyboard. Thanks bro.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@TheOzzybrass And that's coming from you? I know where the strings are, I look at the fretboard because they switch positions a lot. Blaming the camera? You're going to have to refresh my memory a bit. Are you saying it's entertaining to watch me play? Isn't that part of the whole purpose? You're so full of bullshit, man.

[CARVCAMUZ]

good shirt dude, where so u find it ??

[SwedishBerzerker]

@CARVCAMUZ I bought it after a concert, but there are many dedicated rock/metal t-shirt shops in Stockholm.

[CARVCAMUZ]

@SwedishBerzerker got it bro, i hace a megadeth shirt too, but i never saw your desing...

[Yossupdude91]

U are so fucking imba!!!!!!!!

[JoJamGuitar]

Amazing like always

[MrSteelers7391]

You said this is your favorite song from that album, well this my favoite Megadeth song period. great job

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MrSteelers7391 It's a pretty epic song, but I still think Megadeth's most intense songs are Black Friday and Loved To Deth. Seriously, you've got to check Loved to Deth out, it's a shame they never play it live. Truly an underrated gem. R.I.P. Gar.

[guitaraddct94]

@SwedishBerzerker I agree Dude Dave's like a wild animal in Loved To Deth.It sounds really angry and intense!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@guitaraddct94 Yeah man, and Gar is just bashing those drums like a maniac!

[OmriSama]

Damn dude how did you record the video and audio separately and do such a good job of syncing both of them up so well? And this was such a beast cover. I wish I could shred as well as you do!

Actually you recorded using camera

Mic... I record directly to comp lol. But you did an excellent job with the video editing.

This song has confusing rhythms

[SwedishBerzerker]

@OmriSama It's hard because my camera is fucked up and records at a speed a bit faster than reality. So if I don't resync it every minute (in the editiing program), it'll be VERY unsynced after a while. I record the audio separately with my mp3-player because the camera mic sucks (and makes some crackling sounds when I play higher frequencies like in solos). The beginning is complex, but the rest isn't too bad. Thanks!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@420megadeth Thanks! Loved to Deth is my favourite KIMBABIG song so that's a no-brainer, but Chosen Ones is also very interesting and Looking Down The Cross is pretty epic. They're all on my list!

[dudemcrude]

Excellent job. The Jeff Young part wasn't perfect, but a lot better than what I can do.  The rest of the song was dead on.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@420megadeth Yeah.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@420megadeth Pretty much like In My Darkest Hour.

[XxZero97531xX]

huh... i have that same shirt, and same model guitar, just minus the awesome paint job, and plus a trem. bridge.

[DimitriVHefley]

You're doing the beginning wrong, it's: 0 0 0 5 6 7 0 0 0 then the e chord. Other than that good. Also Dave does ALL his chords up stroked.

[Sparks424]

In the opening you don't have to always go back to E chord I saw a vid of Dave playing and he didn't use the E in the beginning 5 stars still

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Sparks424 I just did what sounded right to me, thanks!

[Sparks424]

@SwedishBerzerker All preference. this is the vid that actually thought me to play this song thanks to how clear your camera is .

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Sparks424 Yeah it's not just some shitty webcam, it's a shitty digital cam ;)

[Sparks424]

@SwedishBerzerker Haha aint to shitty if i learned to play just by watching your finger movements lol . What Kind of Guitar is that ?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Sparks424 I guess not :P It's all in the description, it's a Washburn something something.

[IgetHIwithTowlie]

Let me just say great cover bro

[IgetHIwithTowlie]

Hey swedishbezerker how hard would you say the solo is cus I'm learning the song and I just got to it

[cidiose]

Congrats,and thanks for bringing up my favorite megadeth song!!!

[dylanmart93]

Awesome cover man!

How much time are you playing in the video?

[Maidenize666]

You didn't use the spider chord ...Y ? it wud hav made ur cover better .... WHat r the amp settings dude ?? [Love ur shirt too ;-) ]

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Maidenize666 Because there's absolutely no need for it. It's all in the description. Thanks!

[MONKEYWONDER2000]

rock on!!

[MrJohnnz]

damn your fast picking is awesome!!!!! :(

[gri4t]

Dude you rip ass btw dude you read sheet music?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@gri4t Thanks! I usually stick to tabs but when I compose my own stuff in Power Tab I use the sheet to make out the rhythm. It's a good way to quickly see what it's going to sound like. I used to play piano so I know how to read it, I'm just not very fast at it.

[Megadeth6561]

After you download power tab editor what do you do

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Megadeth6561 I don't quite remember but probably there'll be a setup.exe-file or something like that. Use it to install the program. First you might need to extract the folder if it's zipped.

[Megadeth6561]

@SwedishBerzerker is that how you get the tab for the song

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Megadeth6561 No, that's just how you install the program. After you've done that you can download powertabs from any site. I recommend ultimate-guitar because it's very reliable.

[SixStringNick]

I'm trying learn this song now anyway you can send me tabs?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@SixStringNick It's in the descripition now.

[SixStringNick]

@SwedishBerzerker Thanks

[MrEive]

I have been working on this song in a long time now, and i haven't learnd the whole song yet.

I have used your video to hear the speed on this song and stuff.

I just wondering how long time you used to learn this song?

Anyway, awsome cover :P

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MrEive It usually takes about three days (1h/day) to learn a Megadeth song. Hangar 18 took a little longer however :P

I learned some of the solos by ear, the sweep and Mustaine's first solo for example, because there were no good tabs for them, so this one also took a little while longer. Thanks!

[IronFabianSteel]

dang u rokk. long live ]V[EGADET]-[ FUKK METALLICA[

[vitorcunha]

@SwedishBerzerker That arpeggio at 02:39 is breath taking, specially cuz u added a real nice distortion with that tooby sound. Great work!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@vitorcunha Thanks man! It's pretty muc the only time I've used my wahwah-pedal on any of my covers :P

[danomanno747]

Just one question....what isn it with Metal and Sweden? Something in the water?

The amount of sheer metal genius coming out of sweden is mindboggling.

Awesome cover, my fingers will never move that fast on a fretboard.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@danomanno747 Hehe I don't know. Both Sweden and Finland have the highest famous metal bands per capita it seems. Thanks!

[michael3700]

Very very good cover.

Although you should try to make jeff's solo more fluent

[neasjrrn]

im talking about after you play all the open e's then you hop over to the next two strings and play on the 8 and 10 frets. Those are palm muted? That's what I was wondering how you strum so freely and don't hit the e. On that part.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@neasjrrn Oh, well no, that's not palm muting... I am palm muting the E string however.

[neasjrrn]

Ok I see. So when u are playing on the 10 and 8 frets you are palm muting? I don't see how you do that and strum so freely

[neasjrrn]

No problem man. Are u just not strumming the e? It's hard for me to do that

[SwedishBerzerker]

@neasjrrn It's palm muting.

[zodiacxkiller]

Epic cover. Still would like to see your attempts at Rattlehead, Skull Beneath The Skin and Killing Is My Business.

That would be golden

[SwedishBerzerker]

@zodiacxkiller I'm off to them soon!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Mons0nify True, I always think of some vast, desolate landscape. There's something about this recording that just sounds like the apocalypse, there's a lot of reverb and everything sounds mighty. In fact, I was listening a lot to this album when I was on Iceland. I've never played Fallout 3, but I'm a huge fan of Bethesda's other game series - The Elder Scrolls. :P

[neasjrrn]

Hey, in the beginning when you freely strum the chords are you muting the E string with your first finger?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@neasjrrn Sorry for the late reply, I missed it somehow... Anyway - no, I never mute with my fretting hand.

[indicat33]

Hey berzerker...great job bro, I'm learning it up to speed as we speak. Your video helped. Fuck the stupid hater comments as these pricks can't even play. =)

[SwedishBerzerker]

@indicat33 Alright, thanks!

[ChoppaHed760]

You get taught how to play by a manicken. Ive seen turtles with more life than you. btw try standing up and not looking at the guitar the whole time. Its like i'm the only one who knows what their talking about in here

[SwedishBerzerker]

@ChoppaHed760 This is a documentation, I'm only trying to play as cleanly as I can. If you want to see me perform, come see me live. I highly doubt Megadeth themselves focused on performing when they were recording.

[ChoppaHed760]

@SwedishBerzerker ITs not supposed to sound clean note for note bro thats the beauty of metal.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@ChoppaHed760 Not on YouTube, except for you maybe. If I'd headbang and look up all the time, and miss a few chords here and there, people would complain. Believe me, people react to even the smallest details.

[indicat33]

@ChoppaHed760 You know how fucking stupid you are?? Learn how to spell before you try talking shit to anyone -idiot

[81x85x]

nice cover, but u should use spider chords man.

[TheARMYMETAL]

you cant play the spider chords ??

[jfkdjfd]

I just want to set Emo's worlds on fire, the lovley view as theirs burns.

[FabioDaButterMan]

2:39 was sick!

Favorite song out of this album too.

Overall,amazing as always.

[bengativo6]

have you ever considered turning in an aplication into the arsenal of megadeth?i think  you should!! this guy has what it takes to be in megadeth...

[SkullsAndCandy]

@bengativo6 too bad they have a solid lineup now

[deathskelet0n]

fav part of song is guitar solo at 1:46

[joakogro]

1:38 Mustaine dont play that, he play that other form, sr my english. Look the "that one night" This song, he play other form that song.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@joakogro €I've heard that a few times now.. thanks though.

[HenTheKing]

Third time i've stumbled onto your vids! Awesome playing! Wish i was nearly as awesome!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@HenTheKing Hehe thanks man! I'll be hoping for more stumbling! :P

[sonnic1995]

best cover on youtube!!

[sonnic1995]

2:39 Sweep picking? do you have the tab for that, i was triying to play that by ear but i got a different way and sound terrible

pd: my english sucks

[SwedishBerzerker]

@sonnic1995 I've no idea, I just played a minor sweep because it suits the song but I can't hear what they're actually playing. It's a sweep though.

[KillzoneV3]

woo nice guitar there man! fits with the song :P and awesome playing :)

[arise212]

Awesome cover

[Eliezerx13]

nice cover

[magichile]

wow!

keep finding more of your stuff

keep going and post some more plz

[play9boy2]

You're awesome dude!!what great skills!!!\m/ go on and never stop...wish that one day you'll be in megadeth!!!\m/hihi

[BTbattalionMember94]

Dude your a beast on those solo,but you where kinda slow on the 3rd one,just saying.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MegaLDeth Thanks! I only used an Ibanez WD7 during the sweeping thing.

[brandontylerkaiser]

have you read his book yet? fucking genious i got it signed :D

[SwedishBerzerker]

@brandontylerkaiser No not yet, but I will! Gz man! :)

[brandontylerkaiser]

It really is great what happened to that band. Rehab 14 times ahaha just great. you will love it!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@brandontylerkaiser Haha 14 times? xD I bet that's more like a novel than a biography :P

[MaizatulAmirah]

very cool cover.. u got great talent dude!!

[blackvein511]

dude fucking great run your freaking great love this song and iv acctually wanted to learn it for a while but icant find the right tabs for it can you help me out a bit plz? once again great run congrats

[SwedishBerzerker]

@blackvein511 Check out ultimate-guitar for a powertab. Download Powertab Editor from downloaddotcom

[ChoppaHed760]

@blackvein511 LEARN BY EAR IT IS THE ONLY WAY

[SwedishBerzerker]

@ChoppaHed760 Learning from tabs is good if you're not so familiar around the neck, or if you don't have time to do it by ear.

[EddieVH666]

shit the solo that jeff young plays at the end is one of the hardest things I've ever seen

[minimetalmike101]

I wont get a virus or anything if I download the PowerTab Editor will I?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@minimetalmike101 Of course I can't guarantee anything, but I've downloaded LOADS of stuff from downloaddotcom (which is a very popular and safe site), including PowerTab Editor, and I've never gotten any viruses. So it should be safe.

[DannyDeth2]

nice man

do you have any tabs?

if you do can you send them to me? thanks

[SwedishBerzerker]

@DannyDeth2 Download PowerTab Editor from downloaddotcom, then the highest rated Set the World Afire tab from ultimate-guitardotcom. There might also be a comment from "VikingMEtalhead" - that's me.

[DannyDeth2]

@SwedishBerzerker thanks

[torsrizzo69]

first off i love your name, i too am a fellow berserker. ur a fuckin animal man! keep that shit comin its fuckin wild!

[SwedishBerzerker]

@torsrizzo69 Haha you're the first one to say that! Thanks a lot! \m/

[seaman1737]

where do you get you tabs man? and nice cover 5*

[SwedishBerzerker]

@seaman1737 They're powertabs from ultimate-guitardotcom. You can download PowerTab Editor from downloaddotcom.
