  • this is one of the greatest solo´s in history (yeah,not just metal,i mean it)...and this motherfucker plays it so clean like it was nothing...hail to jari mäenpää!!!!!i´d love to be objective,but there´s no fucking choice:jari mänpää is the best fucking guitarist of our time!!!!!!!

  • what a cool ass song

  • i'd kill to be able to play like him o.o he's a fuckin' god descended down to earth to show us that we are not worthy

  • Comment removed

  • 0:00 To 1:22 is the most awesome part!!!!!

  • i feel so bad for the guy that comes after Jari lol

  • WOOOOO!! JARI.

  • Wait what tuning does Jari use in this video?In GPtabs I've seen 2whole steps down from standard and in standard. The only problem with standard is there is one note after the acoustic part (C2 I think) that can't be played in standard, on a 6string anyways.

  • @JoseAAmezquita Jari uses standard in his songs

  • @Musicfrommitchell actually wintersuns tuned to D standard and drop C, not E. the tabs for this song r wrong. its all in d standard not E. notice hes playing in g minor, but using an a minor position.

  • Woah, Jari uses a PG model o.o I never knew that lol

  • Comment removed

  • there arn't enough fps to capture all of his finger movement

  • Jari is my GOD!!!

  • probably one of the greatest solos of all time

  • he's such a good player!!!!! finland give us a lot of great guitar player

  • 11 emo's have seen this video

  • kalmah ((((antti koko))) is best....

  • @Kanine11 haha xD CoB's new album isn't really better than their former ones.. hate to say it but I don't like it.. but let's wait for Time and then make 1 ultra-headbang that lasts for the entire album..

  • @Kanine11 true.. it will affect metal as it is now..

  • @Kanine11

    haha agreed, if the only the rest of youtube could understand their godlyness and these new 'metal' bands like winds of plague and white chapel will fuck off and die

  • I wish they would release a new album sometime. ;(

  • Just unfriended my uncle on facebook cause he said Steve Vai > Jari Maenpaa, and Jari's vocals are trash.... Thumbs up you think it was justified! ;)

  • how the fuck does he play that awesome? x_X he must have activated cheats or something

  • 1. Alexi Laiho

    1. Jari Mäenpää

    1. Roope Latvala

    Best three guitarists from Finland! ^^

  • @Tuominen98 you got that wrong, Jari is like a million times the guitarist Laiho is. Laiho is alright but blooddrunk was rubbish, and Roope? nnahhhh lol

  • @misanthrope011 Yeah. But u know that when u run out of ideas, and stuff.. Alexi is faster, but Jari sweeps cleaner than Alexi. But I would say that Roope is better than those to, because he's older than those other guys and he has learned more, and when Jari and Alexi were young, they listened to other thrash, speed and heavy metal bands, and one of them was Finnish, it was Roope Latvala's band, and it was Stone.

  • @Tuominen98 alexi faster then jari? noo wayy. alexi is good but lacks passion and beauty, i know its his style is melodic but it doesnt have the prettyness jari puts in his solos. alexi's seems like a straight forward attack at the scale hes using at the time while Jaris solo's seem like a pursuit towards perfection in all aspects of it. better composed. and his understanding of music dwarfs laihos as is present in this song, its pure beauty

  • @misanthrope011 But wait a sec. I'm just a six grader from Finland, and if u wanna know what this means, translate it. :D

    ''Jari jankkaa kokoajan samanlaista juttua, aivan niinkun entisessä bändissään, Ensiferumissa. Lahjakas ja hyvä kitaristi on todellakin, kaiken lisäksi vielä itseoppinut, mutta Alexi on nopeempi. Alexi on päässyt suosion keskipisteeseen metallimusiikissa näinä vuosina, ja Alexi on ollut kilpailussa suomen parhaimmasta kitaristi -tittelistä, ja voitti kyseisen tittelin.''

  • @Tuominen98 Alexi Laiho sucks balls

  • @kane480 That's just gross

  • @sonicslaughter I know, but a true-ism nonetheless lol

  • @kane480 Alexi Laiho is a good guitarist.

  • @sonicslaughter He's got some talent but he doesn't do that well live and he's very overrated.

  • @kane480 I suppose I can agree with that, though I haven't seen much live footage. Judging from the videos I've seen, Maenpaa really brings it live in terms of accuracy and technique compared to a lot of other guitarists.

  • @kane480 you kidding me? he played amazingly live. he would sound 10 times better then most of the pros if he was using a 6k guitar with a 10k amp and had a professional recorder.

  • @2020jonnybravo Well welcome to a 3 month old conversation but you do realize I said Alexi Laiho doesn't do well live and I wasn't talking about Jari, cuz Jari nails everything live and kicks so much ass that he just can't be a mortal man, but, if you were referring to Alexi it's not his sound that's lacking, it's his ability to hit all the notes live.

    P.S. I like your name, Jonny Bravo (if you're referring to the cartoon character) is awesome.

  • @kane480 Lol yes that was the show! Sorry i thought you meant jari with your comment. But i love alexi as well, saw him a few months ago. front row and got filmed for the new video. but no1s perfect i guess. i wish i could see a video of Alexi playing some I spit on your grave from sinergy

  • @kane480 You're right, Alexi needs to throw the bottle away!

  • @FuckTechno66 Haha, yeah definitely!

  • @Tuominen98 Jani Liimatainen is pretty good too.

  • Fucking sexy solo!

    JARI IS GOD!!!

  • That solo was like a big fuck you to every guitar player out there.

  • he is the reincarnation of jason becker... deathmetalished!!!

  • @cohone86 he never died...

  • @misanthrope011 i know, but i mean being active, with possibility of playing right now

  • Comment removed

  • i love when teemu jus appears smiling

  • mäenpää is better as laiho.... /,,/,

  • creating this song makes him my personal hero.

  • jari is for metal what michael jackson was for pop

  • seems like he's not using his pinky very often, kinda sick...

  • Comment removed

  • only the best guitar for jari....

  • and al this perfectly on time:D

  • I CAME AT 0:46

  • Holy shit, he's so awesome.

  • Jari is just an amaizing dude he has a genuis mind to create this kind of music and blast it our ears with is epic guitarwork!! :D

  • @Metal1Hed

    Avenged Sevenfold is crap.

  • @walshy0001 they are great!

  • @Metal1Hed

    nope.

  • @walshy0001 Buy a new brain. Avenged Chrush these guys . lol

  • @Jarle1510

    I honestly have never actually checked out Wintersun, I don't remember how I got to this video. but based on this video and others I've seen of this guy playing, he kicks Synyster Gates ass. Synyster has one of the sloppiest sweeps I've ever heard. Hell, his playing in general is sloppy. It doesn't help that he likes to play on the harshest tone that can come out of a bridge pick up...damn. switch to neck at least for gods sake

  • @Jarle1510

    I really hope that was a joke. one of the best things to happen to music? They are generic as fuck with NOOOO originality. They sound just like all those other bullshit bands like trivium and shit. Synyster gates is fucking sloppy and sucks ass. You obviously don't even know the definition of virtuosity. Jason Becker, Tosin Abasi, Jeff Loomis, Rusty Cooley, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert (these are pretty well known guitarists, don't even get me started on unknown) kick his ass

  • @Jarle1510

    >.<

  • @Jarle1510 Haha in what universe? Oo Come on guys...A7X have songs to sing along with but technically no way^^

  • @Death91Rider

    So does Wintersun! Chorus of "Battle Against Time" ahah!

    And you never know what the new album will hold!

  • @Death91Rider

    You clearly havent heard Battle Against Time. Ignorant. 

  • @TheWargasmic Dude...I just wanted to say that the songs of A7X are more mainstream. Nothing else. And of course I have heard Battle against time. So stop bitching.

  • @Death91Rider

    You mad kid?

  • @TheWargasmic don't know. what's ur problem man -.-'

  • @Death91Rider

    your existence is the problem scrub.

  • @TheWargasmic You like Wintersun?

  • @Death91Rider There is no point to be good technically if it sounds like crap :p

  • @walshy0001 wow you fucking ass fuck. this band sucks if anything, a7x is one of the best things to happen in music

  • @walshy0001 You are a crap

  • @fedekpo100pre

    Cool

  • @walshy0001 you sir are a faggot

  • @zanserockdeath2

    I'm sorry you have a shitty taste in music

  • @walshy0001 wintersun is an abomination they suck so much dick theyr guitar is always out of tune and they miss notes like a retarded kid on expert

  • @zanserockdeath2

    as I've stated many times before, I don't listen to wintersun AT ALL, so those jokes are meaningless to me. I just happened to find this video somehow surfing through youtube vids, saw that comment, and replied "Avenged Sevenfold is crap." which they are. now stfu.

  • @walshy0001 i will RAPPPEE YOUUUUUUU

  • @walshy0001 they're not terrible... obviously nowhere near the best, but they're not complete crap

  • @Metallum29 they are. period

  • @Metal1Hed

    Rofl. Fuck off

  • @Metal1Hed are you joking? the afterlife solo? vs this?!

  • @Robbiesrk im not saying this solo is bad tho

  • @Metal1Hed hahahaha shame on you!

  • @Metal1Hed man.. shut up

  • @Metal1Hed a7x sucks!! that fuking punk guitarrist needs to take lessons to learn sweeping. hes that sloppy!

  • @Metal1Hed afterlife solo is piss easy to play and nothing even close this... have you actually listened to the studio version of this solo? try playing winter madness solo or battle against time solo and say a7x is better... if you had an ounce of music theory knowledge you wouldn't write a dumbass comment like that

  • He's no Michaelangelo Batio, but he's pretty damn sick.

  • @Jinxerz010792 hes much more creative than michael angelo, and writes better music in my opinion

  • @Jinxerz010792 Batio is wicked fast and skilled, but Jari has an amazing feel/style that is unmatched. His music is just.....beautiful! =3

  • @Metal1Hed Lol you must be like 11-14?

  • @Metal1Hed trollin haha

  • only the real musician

  • wow i feel bad for tht guy who comes up after jari's solo

  • Its DragonForce that sucks....why put Herman Li in middle of the fire....he is one of the most brilliant guitarist....just in bad company...he certainly deserves better than DragonForce

  • @skylord081 i though he was the one that couldn't play his shit live well

  • @XxazidxX that was one of their earlier concerts where due to some technical glitch the whole event messed up.....they explained it later....their sound was lagging or something on the stage amps...and people formed their perception from it......no doubt DragonForce is pathetic but Herman is brilliant and plays well live also...

  • Dragonforce is shit.

  • Jari pays his respects to one of the real pioneers of shredding here with that Paul GIlbert Signature.

  • stop comparing guys!!! dragonforce is different and wintersun is different!!

  • i believe that both yari and alexi can sweep and they are both professional guitarists but yari composed all of them so thats why he is playing them.he is both singer and 1st guitar.does anybody knows whats going on with the new album?

  • @marinoswtftw

    comes out sometime in the next decade

  • @cjgone2 this really helped a lot:P

  • @marinoswtftw The Time album is not gonna be out really soon, but you can check the official Wintersun website for more info. What Jari says on his website is that he is a poor bastard (he used those words) and that it's very hard for him to work without money. He also said that he had about 10 albums worth of good music, but he doesn't want to release crappy quality CDs. (I'd still want to hear that).

  • This video motivates me to practice any day, everyday!

  • I love the riff in this song. It must have been influenced by something from classical maybe? The rythm is very melodic and pleasing to my ear which makes me feel that it should have been found a long time ago for such a good line. :o

  • Perfectly Beautiful

  • This song has an extremely catchy riff.

  • OMFG HE HAS A PGM TOO??! I THINK I AM IN LOVE!!! JARI MARRY MEEEEEE! Okay I'm done with my rant. Sort of,

  • hes soo fucking good!

  • Dude its weird seeing Jari with out his telecaster that ive became soo accustomed too lol no matter Ibanez makes a mean axe in their own right!

  • Why! did 10 people down thumb this video. I think they are jealous because Jari is better than there favorite guitarist by far.

  • My favorite guitarist and a personal inspiration, but goddamnit Jari, youre not supposed to wear your own bands merchandise.........EVER

  • @Splintercell256

    Why can't he weair his own bands merchandise? Maybe he's also a fan

  • Awesome job

    Wish the recording was for the full song

  • Amazing!

  • Jari is the man ^^ This solo is hard as hell, amazing how he plays it so close to perfect at a live performance. Is it just me or is he trying to avoid using his pinky, hard to tell from the vid but looks like it o.O

    Made a video cover of all guitar parts of this one, check it out ;)

  • lol guitarmaster using guitargods guitar :)

  • Man, I would be so happy if they ever came to the USA...heck I live in Florida but I'll fly out anywhere in the states just to see em! I hope "Time" will come out this year!

  • dis is real music

  • Epic.

  • It's just too bad bands like Wintersun don't get as much support as other suck-ass commercial bands.

  • damn i thought jari was god but the other guitarist is pretty good too!

  • Teemu Mantysaari.

  • god the part where theyre both sweeping and harmonizing and shit fuck so amazing

  • Jaris a good

  • what kind of pickup does he have in the bridge position?

  • DImarzio Evolution

  • *solos*.... "a slow storm".. haha!

  • snow*

  • haha!.. tthanx for that.

  • Thanks for this video , quality rock !

  • This solo is fucking crisp as fuck, Nice work jari.

  • one of my favorite solos ever..

  • king

  • AWESOME SOLO

  • Yeah right!

    thats a fucking Paul Gilbert Ibanez!!

    Beautiful guitar!!

  • Boah.. der spielt genauso gut wie auf CD!!

  • none can play like him

  • keep dreaming

  • haha one day dude.... one day.

  • Comment removed

  • yes they can

  • Damn, Jari's a fucking machine. People like to compare him to other guitarists a lot by playing recordings of him and the other guy playing guitar, I think if they did it with live footage there would be VERY few guitarists that could match Jari's perfect playing.

  • Fecking right, love the PGM

  • @followthereaper12345 PGM300 right?

  • Maybe, there are a lot of similar models. It just depends on what year, really. the 300 is a good bet though

  • Well, if it has the trem taken out it's a 301.

  • nice guitar ;P

  • PGM ftw

  • beautiful solo and most importantly, beautiful live playing, i've seen lots of guitarists that sound great on albums but when it comes to playing those solos live ( especially the ones with lots of sweeps) they play em slightly sloppy, awesome precision.

  • @ClassZeroCommando yeah, some guitarists sound reaaly bad live, like that guitarist called Alexi La.... (wait, there's groupies all around this place, id better shut up)

  • @DunkleFlugel Alexi is just a drunk lol, hence why he's been getting worse live throughout the years lol

  • I thought he'd play on the tele for wintersun songs...

  • pgms are sweet. coming from paul gilbert, it kinda has to be.

  • W00t Jari has the same guitar as meeeeeee

  • Yay I just got a new ibanez today! ^^ Nothing fancy though. But its still fucking awsome!

  • \m/ love this song

  • Even Jari Mäenpää loves this song, look he's got a Wintersun's T-shirt. XD

  • guess this guitar works better for him live than the JEM guitar since he doesn´t seem to use the tremolo very often. Though the JEM is a lot prettier to look at.

  • Jari god with a Guitar i love that solo also it was so clean like no mistakes what so ever! can't wait till Time

  • wich ibanez is he using here?

  • I believe he's using the Paul Gilbert Signature.

  • its a PGM from ibañez

  • Amazing

  • PGM!!!

  • I have that Guitar =)

  • and i bet you still cant play 1/9th as good as gilbert or jari hahaha :)
