Scar Symmetry - Ghost Prototype 1 Solo

[iamrichlol]

how come you have this guitar twice, but one with the maple fretboard? just curious.

[LiamENGL]

@iamrichlol It's the same guitar I just swapped the rosewood neck with a maple one.

[iamrichlol]

@LiamENGL oh that's interesting, I definitely prefer it with the maple. was that hard/expensive to find a maple Caparison neck or did you have to get it made custom?

[LiamENGL]

@iamrichlol The neck itself was part of a limited run in 2007 and unfortunately there were only 10 made so it's very difficult to get hold of now. You can still get the regular maple horus, but they have the clock inlays which in my personal opinion don't look great against the maple (too light!)

[KvltBlkMetal]

What gauge strings do you use? :o

[DionysLucifer]

FUCK YEAH!

[scotty688]

Nice 5150!!!!! I so badly want one or a 6505. Which is better?

[auron2301]

@scotty688 it's the same amp :)

[UseTheNukeQuick]

very easy - easy - normal - hard - very hard - are you fucking insane - Liamengl

[sbomnipotent]

Dude your tone a phrasing is spot on....awesome job!!!

[ZenBailar]

That was just sick! Gave me chills..

[Rapterr15]

Damn bro, that was amazing. Per Nilsson has easily become my favorite lead guitarist.

[metalbloodshed]

I'm going to be that guy and ask for tabs.. that was sick.

[FullJarre]

Better than LickLibrary!!!

[Mrfuckinguseless]

awesome solo! how long have you been playing?

[Niamorg1007]

" Attempt " ?!

[bubbleabee]

Can you please do a lesson on this?

[Xiacro]

wish i could slow down the tapping part at the end so i could finish learning this solo >_<

[AMartins92]

Perfect job well done!

[TheColon3Face]

this is perfect, great job man!! got any tabs?

[GrunesMannchen]

nice 5150

[HollandandJasper]

This is not an attempt. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!

[TheEndOfTheSand]

What's your bridge and neck pickup?

[alex29bass]

@TheEndOfTheSand judging from the looks of 'em, i'd say a crunch lab in the bridge position and either an air norton s or a tone zone s on the neck. i might be wrong though. they're all dimarzio branded btw.

[libanez]

very nice

plz u have tab this solo?

make me ty s2!!!!

[sampe50]

Impressive for sure. Nicely done

[mrbullseye]

I've problaby commented this before. But I just have to say it again. Awesome work covering this incredible solo. Per is a guitar player out of this world and you nailed it.

This song also has one of the coolest verse riffs I've ever heard.

[mylifeaskyle]

at 0:38 do your frets light up? or am i still trippin

[kalmahman48]

PLEASE do a cover of the "inhumanity" solo by mors principium est!

[dimebagalways]

@kalmahman48 fucking hench solo, good choice the sweeping is a bitch lol

[kalmahman48]

@dimebagalways hahaha  good ol' MPE

[superpiratepants]

haha whenever i need guitar inspiration i come to your channel (usually to this video haha) youre a BEAST!

[wownerdism]

no homo

[wownerdism]

i wonder if his hand can jerk me???

[BadProphecyOfficial]

Perfect solo cover !!!

[kscoble12345]

does anyone know what the song is in the intro?

[Whamesl0l]

@kscoble12345 Breach The Void - Digital Structure.....glad I helped :)

[BamPew]

this is how I play on bad days

[DaMetalBeast]

monster!

[Peridioicism]

I got extremely sad watching this video. You are awesome. Fucking congratulations, man!

[ChristianAlvestamFan]

how come ive sent so many messages regarding tabs, and you haven't sent them to me....

[ObviouslyPliskin]

Awesome playing, man! That's one of my favorite solos ever and you fuckin' nailed it! Keep it up!

[nismoboy29]

Wow, all your covers are amazing, even on your former profile, but this one is fucking huge. That Horus really has a cool tone too ! How did you get the guitar ?

[barbinhadicabra]

Fuck. That was flawless.

[righteousfury1]

you got the touch , man.

[slipknot361]

Why is this guy not in solwork or scar symmetry !! Sign him the fuck up lol He is unbelievable !!

[Burnyoursins]

@slipknot361 Because Soilwork and Scar Symmetry both have the guitar positions filled? As he is obviously playing a solo written by another guitarist, haha. But again, an incredible rendition. I have honestly not found a cleaner, more perfect cover of this, or any other Scar Symmetry solos, on all of Youtube. Not one single one.

[CheeseCakeee]

Super-duper-amazing.

[leviatan1001]

sublime



[dylan96unearth]

That was fucking amazing :O

[Darriok]

I'd cut off a toe for your secret to picking so smoothly.

[E7uber9000]

dude you are fucking insane!!! what was the song u used for your intro? that was badass but not as badass as you lol

[LiamENGL]

@E7uber9000 Haha thanks man! it's Breach the Void - Digital Structure, check them out they dominate!

[METALLICA6547]

@LiamENGL somehow i missed this on your channel,your playing here is off the charts good,you are the youtube master at scar covers,none better,peace

[sidedead92]

Fucking amazing !

[jr240891]

What was that track in the beginning?

[BaseballGod710]

...Scar Symmetry...With a Soilwork Shirt....Jesus???

[tristanmarmont]

you have ridiculous control... I'm jealous :(

[Woupme]

Effing sweet, man!

[zebaxtiantd]

Holy SHIT

[Legatomusic]

Nice man did u mic this one up with an sm57?

[LiamENGL]

@Legatomusic Nah this one was just a Line 6 pod X3 (which I sold to Chimp Spanner). Great piece of gear I highly recommend it!

[Legatomusic]

@LiamENGL Dude really do you remember your settings? man I love the tone

[hiladelphia]

@LiamENGL You should remove, crap, sloppy and bad from the search tags

[MorganRNReid]

@LiamENGL dude you play SS perfectly and you know chimp spanner.... WTF are you in a band? if not wanna form an internet band LOL (only 23% kidding)

[WinterMadness05]

@LiamENGL Do you still remember what amp you used for the Pod or effects per se?

[shredfella]

i'd rather be able to play like this (95% speed but 100% spot on) than the other way around.

[tomtom99887]

love that solo :)

[damaffa]

do you play in a band? if not you should really think about it!

[bodommadnath]

send tabs pleaseeee

axelroxas666@live.co.uk

thansssss xDD

[musicmanpiezo]

How about an instructional video? Love the solo, and you made a damn good job!

[arnartg]

Nice. A little bit slower than the original though, hmm.. don't you think? ;)

[XZzGothixZzX]

@arnartg just a tad. :P But still badass

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

@arnartg Probably becuase it's at 95% speed....

[njones1091]

Lol btw I love the tags for this. you tag it as sloppy, crap, and bad when the video is like spot on the solo.

[NuiS4ncE]

WTF MAN :DDD that was so good I felt it in my balls!

[zahlenpilz]

I am more fascinated by the fact that you can play this about the fact somebody other wrote this and I heard it about 50 times while i was listening to this song. Now, as I see this incredible work with my own eyes.... simply amazing.

And now: I'll watch it again. Absolutely brilliant.

[paynexkillerAOTF]

Fucking sick Soilwork top to boot!

[kalmahman48]

holy shit. this is by far the best cover of this solo on youtube, you did a good job at replicating the sound because its pretty hard to do. there might be other people on youtube who cover this solo with the same skill as you but you actually make it sound good.

[VegasPoker]

amazing!

[njones1091]

This is really darn close man i like :)

definitely good job by ear for sure. Travis Montgomery has a more accurate cover but he also looked at tabs so XD whatever you are both awesome

[DaveARCHahnil]

@njones1091 Haha that's funny because Travis posted on the John Petrucci forum that he used LiamENGLs tab for his video.

I've not seen anyone get things as accurate as he does, fuckin insane ear!

[njones1091]

@DaveARCHahnil First of all, two people can use the same tabs to play a song and it will sound differently. I dont know which songs Travis uses liam tabs for, but on multiple occasions people ask him on youtube if uses liam tabs and the only response ive seen from him was no and he used another source like guitar.com or something (i forgot which source).

Secondly I said he played it incredibly by ear, Travis plays it better but he looked at the tabs for it. idk which tabs.

[Beauthegreat1]

is there anywhere I could find his gear setup?

[Whamesl0l]

this is the best cover on youtube, its so amazing, if i didnt know any better, id accuse it of being faked, thats how good it is!

[sephirothloko]

Awesome (y)... but... what's the song in the intro? ;P

[SuperBongomann]

good job dude (: btw, what song is that in the beginning?

[marknjames91]

@SuperBongomann Breach the Void- Digital Structure. There's a cover done by him too. =D

[TheDisturbedOne961]

y does he use a 6 string for this song?

[Caerulianswe]

Hey Liam! love your videos :) Where did you get that Soilwork t-shirt? It looks amazing, im from Sweden

[METALBEAST888]

awesome job dude, wish one day i could play like you......

just one question i knew this song was played with a 7 string guitar and you are playing it on a 6 string..... so what tunning are u usisng¿¿¿¿

anyways your rock!!!

[Mjyocca]

Dude so sick. if you can send me the tabs thatll be great. mjyocca@me.com

[MilminimanSwimwamly]

Oh wow, wow, well done dude.

[distortedtempo]

god l love this solo

[Idn42]

this isnt a guy named liam. this is a god named Per Nilsson. thumbs up if you agree?

Per Nilsson = guitarist fur scar symmetry (in case you know not.)

[AfterShock777]

SOLID. Impressive bro.

[Whamesl0l]

well done dude, thanks alot, now theres brain all over my wall, see what happens when you shred too hard? you blow my mind, thats what happens!

[Selaromjl]

nice playing, very smooth. I'm trying that solo to expand my knowledge.

[minomane]

Pretty sure you make your neighbours house values triple, just for the chance to hear you playing live.

[johnodude01]

dude your tone is awsome! and rad playing

[MAllenProductions]

whats the name of the opening credits song?

[Darriok]

Wow.. Not even one mistake...I should assassinate you for pwning so hard.

[kinaesthesis]

dude what is the song that plays in the intro?

[kurukq]

after watching this i tuned my guitar to F U C K M E

[dimebagalways]

@kurukq lmao

[jonzothegreat]

[demodeiowa]

WOA i'm stunned

[FreepowerUG]

Perfect! :D

[dudeuninstallthegame]

[braof]

[monkeybone444]

Fuck buddy must be rich

[VanillaVizz]

OMG....i love you.....SRSLY I LOVE YOU!Oo

[bojorquez1234]

what is the song at the beginning???

[psychostew911]

@bojorquez1234 Ghost Prototype 1 ....haha, it's the part of the song before the solo.

[WidekMusic]

Fantastic solo ;)

[xizombiex]

yo wut r ur 5150 settings i have the same setup n cant get to sound good at all

[VAI666]

wow... amazing tone !!

[taiyang93]

Great job :) I love this song, but I think the guitar solo (which is awesome) is a bit drowned by the other instruments so it's nice to listen to the solo only. I am really delighted about your guitar skills. Keep up the good work, it sounds great :D I'm learning to play the guitar as well, but I'm a far cry from playing solos although I've begun practicing improvisation with backing tracks , so videos like this are a good inspiration.

[Validly]

How'd you do that really high pitched sound at ~ 0:30?

[rasmusandre]

@Validly It's a pinch harmonic.

[thejuicyness]

AMAZING! fucking flawless, wish I had chops remotely close to you.

[msirocksFOREVA]

dude, this is insperational, your a guitar god!

[iamsmeej]

very VERY nice job! and I'm very critical of scar symmetry covers. excellent work my friend, keep it up!

[Death88X]

Dude would u mind telling me what guitar is that? I'm afraid i'm madly in love with the it! XD

[Slashbag69]

Man, you must have a beast of a job to be able to afford all that amazing gear :| Where do u work?

[XxMG42gunnerxX]

I think it sounds a little better slowed down at the speed you played it at anyway

[njsexy]

insanely precise and good work. Wow :)

What is the song in the intro, btw?

[njsexy]

Breach The Void - Digital Structure

That's the song in the intro :)

[OscarNilsson910806]

well done mate! Scar Symmetry for life!

[andimhip]

Best. Cover Guitarist. EVAR!

[ddods14]

pff not sure why "bad" "crap" or "sloppy" is a tag, that was really really good!

[bouncygangsta]

subbed , holyfooock

[Mordred38]

'can't stop watching this vid ! Perfect !

[jazzman1703]

Ey man, this is fucking awesome!!!!!!

It doesn't matter that you have played it at 95% speed cause this guitar solo is extremely difficult and a work of art.

10 points my friend! =)

[senorcastro]

Absolutely incredible skill! This inspires me everyday, keep it up!

[samarzijadado]

Great cover,but is it just me or it looks like your picking comes partially from your elbow ? xDD

But anyways,awesome awesome :))

[nikhilbk1]

Brilliant!!! \m/

[mdfk667]

Dude, remove the "sloppy", "crap" and "bad" tags, you played it great! Plus, you probably can play this at 100% normal speed now.

[RrGiSi]

dude you mudered that song 

[senorcastro]

superb!

[clownpipe]

lol solo only?? dude, the rhythm is sweet too, you clowns know like 5 songs and sit at home for like a year practicing 3 solos b/c you want to be cool

[redxangel50]

this solo is just so insane! Nice work man!

[ChaoSoulCover]

One of my fav song from SS, awesome job !

[RownbearXbox360]

Awesome! really well done.

[ruckusamukus]

great job! that's my favorite solo on the record.

[farilapatrioten]

Awesome! And I like your Soilwork shirt too. The colours of it are the best ;)

[kirk45hammett]

Have you ever tried posted something, uh, simple? Haha, everything you do is uber compicated. Just gotta show off don't cha? ;) Haha you're amazing though.

[gotihc4355]

how do you do 1:21 ?

[metaladdict24]

honestly man,you have a real talent and if youre not in a band you should be,i'm sure there wont be anyone who wouldnt want to see you play live,you should give tornado of souls a try,or if i could fly from the great satch! :D

[jclp81]

sick bro

[syndemon]

Wow fucking awesome!

[esparcia7]

oh man.. the sweep at 25 seconds is killing me, NO idea how to do that (especially on the lower strings) >_>

[good783]

[AeonsOfFrost]

Badass.

[GUITAR34578]

Can you send the tab to my youtube email? That would be great, thank you

[Reff86]

[DDRazorback07]

haha dude, your like, my hero. There is not really anything i can't play song wise, but i'm not much of a soloist. but my goodness you have a fabulous set of hands. care to swap? :D haha :)

[LiamENGL]

@DDRazorback07 Sure dude, you can have my tendonitis too! have fun! hahaha

[hiladelphia]

@LiamENGL fuck i want a seven string

[ExceriusGuitar]

@LiamENGL Ah, that explains why you (probably) practice playing guitar so much. :p I am of course saying this out of utmost jealousy. Keep up the great work man. I love your video's. Some of the best covers on Youtube for as far as I'm concerned.

On a sidenote, I did a few vocal covers of Scar Symmetry. Maybe you'll like them?

[biglu30]

thanks for your honesty about the speed. shows just how confident you are. and besides, SHIT THATS GOOD

[notdacoolest]

air norton pickup?....and wats the other one?...awesome vro....no mistakes for the first five times i heard the cover....i only only heard it 5 times...but yes a lil slower than original....

[TheRockOutProduction]

ive been working on this fo ra while, rock out man, keep up the good work

[FlashNumba3]

Whoever gave this a Thumbs Down deserves to have their thumbs cut off! Incredible work!!!

[rbcrazyriderrb]

@FlashNumba3 did you you every think maybe it was an accident or maybe they didnt like this solo either way who cares there are only 3 dislikes its not the end of the world

[wankerextrodinaire]

@FlashNumba3 amen brother !
