You're Better Off Dead

[funfreak24]

you made it sound like dragon force ,,!,/

[gibsonz0]

now how does alexi sing and play that?

[funfreak24]

@gibsonz0 when the rythm is absolutely different between the guitar and the text he uses different tabs, and maybe the second guitals some parts from the lead guitar

[Twenty4YoomboFrets]

lol stupid firetrucks

always ruining my solos

[SerratedAMG]

Nice improvising you did in there.

[bloodyrockfire]

badass cover man;great fucking job\m/

[4spida2fingaz0]

u changed the first 'mini solo' cuz ur weak sauce. 13 yrs my ass

[matt8the8man]

that intro is amazingly hard to play

[VivalaErzi]

I have nothing to say. You did it perfect.

[gameartist111]

why dont you form a band...lol

[RedSGShredder]

Well I'm not really interested in playing in a band these days. It takes a lot of time and commitment and I'd rather just record my own stuff at my home studio.

[Gamescare]

how long have you been playing?

[RedSGShredder]

About 13 years? Somewhere around there.

[4spida2fingaz0]

@RedSGShredder ive been playin 8 months n i can ply this song way better than u

[Br1ngH1mTheHor1zon]

0:03 

:o

[Sany789]

Everytime when im watching your Videos, i wonder about your nice Melodic Parts, keep it up Vafa ;-)

[dancingwithscissors]

finnaly got my new amp just wanted to inform you on that thanks for your recomendation

[RedSGShredder]

I used a Marshall amp, no pedals.

[Tramaparifas]

its not alike other 's playing.....:P

[Punkxgoesxdevan]

this song is pretty technical, I'll give you that.

But if you wanna hear/play some reeeal technical shit, play Polaris by The Human Abstract.

Then you'll really understand the meaning of technical. lol

[dancingwithscissors]

wats up with the water at 1:49 was it hot in there?

[RedSGShredder]

Yes.

[Hawkon33]

some mistakes, but really good!

[muzeki223]

what tuning is this in?

[alextrando]

D standard.

[Cronovian]

And also I like you singing on the first chorus.

[Cronovian]

Thordendal impression!

[atreiu686]

Most likely, it's Vodka in in the water bottle.

[ShajrinPoedi123]

your pinch harmonics hurt in my ears.....and thats good =D

[13Skitzafrenik13]

it was tight but u busted out tha old auquafina bottle and my opinion kinda died, u shoulda busted out like a monster or rockstar

[asutera45]

whatever happened to simply eating food to get energy?

[alextrando]

Food doesn't give much hydration.

[blackenedsun666]

damn

[HondaRider150r]

it was alright, defanitly not ur best cover

[CoBandBmx4life]

you dont play the solo in the refrain

[RedSGShredder]

[skjekk]

NICE PLAYING!

[gonXay]

I like your tone. What do you use?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks! All of my equipment is listed on my profile page.

[cataclysmichael]

look who turned up when I searched fredrik thordendal! Haven't seen this... was that singing in there? haha!

btw, your impression at the end really sucked! ^^

[RedSGShredder]

Yeah, a little bit, heheh. Well shit dude, that's what I get for screwing around at the end and putting that in my video description. I suppose I should remove it!

[Hawkon33]

fuck him, you did great dude! x)

[Hawkon33]

well, the comment above was ment to come under catalystmichiael's comment. what a shithead.

[cataclysmichael]

Wheres catalystmichiael? Can't see him anywhere here... Relax, Vafa is my buddy ;)

[Hawkon33]

^^ :D

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

you play some sick meshuggah covers man. respect.

[SlavesShallServe6]

haha that's what happened to me too dude, but this guy's pretty sweet too, so it's all good.

[33vai33]

lol fredrik doesn't do "pinch squeals" or wanky bends.

[lahnaclannb]

haha wipes the sweat off in between amazing playing

[freakguitar1]

thordendal? :P

[TMA2]

haha, great energy you got there, as well as playing.

[Firequacker]

He has teh pinky syndromez, just like meh :3

[tresdave33]

wats the pinky syndrome

[Firequacker]

It's when a guitarist stays away from using their pinky when soloing.

It's pretty natural for most people, but it's advisable to break that habit.

[romiepissdrunx]

3.30 onwards....are freaking awesome!!! keep shredding

[Sammerick]

Fucking sweet second solo mate.

[lucasriggi]

check out my cob vid on my channel

[tooldrums1000]

Damn I thought I had this song down but i guess not!

[MetalJody1990]

I hate it when I forget to hit 'record'. damn stupid ass firetruck. you're playing makes me look horrible. hahaha. I always wanted to play that chorus like that but I think I got my head all wrong.

[mynamesedson]

I love the twist you made on the chorus after the solo its my favorite part *****

[bloodpleez]

is the heat strke the cause of the fire?

[RedSGShredder]

Heh, no man, it was just really hot that day. I recorded this video months before the wildfires.

[Mellotronen]

[XnepoX]

how do you do those single note squeals?

ive never learned how

[RedSGShredder]

It's a pinch harmonic. Just hit the string with your pick and your thumb at the same time.

[XnepoX]

thumb and pick on the right hand?

[RedSGShredder]

Yeah dude, that's right. I'm going to make an instructional video, but that might not be for a while.

[KitRae]

Well you could do that now, I mean at the moment there are no COB songs for you to cover :D

[Shylerr]

yea man wher did u get these tabs xD

[RedSGShredder]

You should try checking out ultimate guitar.

[thedood101]

WHERE DID U GET THIS TAB!?!?! I NNED IT!!! :p LOL

[RedSGShredder]

Hey man, you should try ultimate guitar.

[thedood101]

that tab is good?

sweet

thanks

[RedSGShredder]

Well, it's not perfect, but it's a good start.

[thedood101]

cool. i'll start right now!

thanks

[cutewhenyouscream96]

wow, you are fast xD

[urmq]

oh my god...

fucking good! how do you make that sound? which effector are you using?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. I don't use any effects, it's just my amp distortion.

[Niklas059]

Holy shit. . . . :O

You're fast ^^ Do u play in a band? You should man, you're fucking good!

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude, no, I don't play in a band.

[drakekill]

Very good. Again.

[LordFinland]

Strange that CoB haven't played never so much this song. This is damn good song but some of CoB fans don't like it...strange.

[MrAssBag]

Really fucking nice, Great Job!

[Sirskala666]

Grat^^ I love that, You're Awesome^^

[littleredguitars1]

crazy vids. just subscribed

[H0RA]

awesome job man! keep it up

[KiraQC]

I meant Base, not bast >.> Sorry for the double post. Thanks again :P

[KiraQC]

Heya man!

I have a question to ask you. It been one year and 5 days that I play guitar, and I would like to tune it up a little. My guitar is a Godin Detour I bought at October 14th 2006, and I want to continue playing some Children Of Bodom. Can you tell me what I should put on my guitar first? ^^ Thanks!

Between, GREAT Video! Its AWESOME! Good Job

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. Congratulations on your achievement. I have never heard of that guitar before though. You might consider upgrading to a new guitar altogether if you feel like you have outgrown it. Good luck man.

[KiraQC]

Heya Back Man!

Just something, I love the bast of my guitar, and I think its all I like on my guitar lol. All the company's parts are kinda weird. The Pick-Up, The Paint, The Chords, it will cost less if I change all the thing I need. If you don't know what is a Godin Detour '06, just look at one of my videos, even if they're shity lol, but I'll post soon as I get new pick-ups! Thanks for your Advice man!

[Ironmanevo]

Holy shit bro nice job... one question. What pickup are you using at the bridge?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks man. It's a Seymour Duncan Screamin' Demon.

[jefff192]

did you have to tune your guitar different?

[RedSGShredder]

It's in D standard, so all strings down one step.

[jefff192]

man, i LOVE that last solo! lots of practice?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude! I do too. Yeah, it did take a while.

[tyyppi666]

very nice!?

[alexil83]

very very very niiiiicee!!!!

[RolfAnnern]

temporaryguy he's just playin and havin fun he don't want advices from nerds like you! This is fuckin awsome playing you're just jelous cuz you can't play that good. 5/5

[temporaryguy]

Alright. You're sloppy - slow down and play with a metronome for a while. You're trying to cram too much in for yourself right now, and you're losing the beat from time to time, and messing stuff up.

[Costomgura]

hehe love the comment in the end "yeah...!" great playing you are a masterpiece! :D

[aznjelly]

this would be a great ad for the waterbottle company in which he drank. haha

RedSgShredder is the Biggest poser that i have ever seen. His Videos Suck Living ass. and if you are reading this comment right now i suggest that you should go and kill yourself for even seeing how much of a piece of shit this guy is a guitar!!!!!

[divalentin]

[Sammyman7]

Maturity at it's best.

I think someone's jealous? You should be. You can't fucking identify a skilled musician when it punches you in the face.

Stop posting useless shit, there's not one person who agrees with you here.

[ChodeChompCharlie]

RedSgShredder is the Biggest poser that i have ever seen. His Videos Suck Living ass. and if you are reading this comment right now i suggest that you should go and kill yourself for even seeing how much of a piece fo shit this guy is a guitar!!!!!
