[Canadianspunge]

I really love your version, unfortunately I was looking for a video to help me learn it =P

[dnsbram]

badasss!

[superknuto]

Excelent 

[icemelt1]

I Do Agree That The Picking Version Is Better But This Tapping Version Is Quite Inventive . Good Job .

[tayron27]

Looking at this vid again,its obvious that you can play to a degree.But,please please get rid of the tapping sequence and go the proper route.Trust me bud,this will sound so much better,this just sounds really poor and amateur-ish.

[MrEndynem]

nice man you are N1

[dnsbram]

i like it!

[shariotoflove]

i think if you did the sweep instead, which i think youre more than capable of doing, id say you have the best tone and probably one of the best covers on youtube.

[Scorch1494]

Awesome tapping :D

[XxfanderammsteinxX]

Great Guitar =) Vigier are great guitars =) The blue is beatifull, and the pickguard to =) (sorry I'm french)

[VHWarshawski]

It's wrong! no tapping it's sweeps these guys think they're good when all your doing is butchering it.

[figaz555]

@VHWarshawski

A sweep is an arpeggio you fucking idiot.



[shariotoflove]

@VHWarshawski i wouldnt say he butchered it...

[alfonsominnella]

[sstteevvaann1]

Nice guitar ! :D

[commanderbly4657]

@sstteevvaann1 I Totally agree

[ohyeahoOvV]

Legal cara, ficou muito bom apesar de não ser igual a original, acho que foi isso que deixou legal, pelo fato de você ter tocado de um jeito diferente. :)

[raveleando]

not the same

[b4rf3r]

it could be tapped, as long as you do it in the same tempo, this guy didnt. 2 stars. it would be okay if he say it was his version of it.

[hockey14822]

Nice playing style, I think it sounds better tapped.

[Dynatech77]

Cara , como vc é baiano!!! Vc toca muito mal !!! Com esse sampler michuruca e essa guitarra do ximbinha vc não passa de um ridículo!!! :)

[Willkbelo]

Tirando o taping que uma meia dúzia insiste em fazer e ainda faz errado, o resto até que tá certo vai. rs

[Fayukyvan]

asi si es......

[4Chicago4]

Awesome tapping!

Only 4*? : O

[jackalarf95]

[Smartskaft2]

Well, I think it sounds good anyway :p

[Deathm3t4l95]

@Smartskaft2

[Deathm3t4l95]

[younme17]

Eres bueno, no hay mas que decir!!!

[Mrflashdrive]

[XMitsuhideX]

Nice Vigier!

[yeti60]

Nice, very smooth. Sounded good.

[cowboyfan14]

awesome.

5/5. i love the way you played, your style, the smiling, showing you had fun. and most of all, your BEAUTIFUL guitar.

[parroun]

[bbpll]

super 5/5

[burningligerx]

love the hammer ons

[rowley1112]

AWESOME!!!!

[pocketfreak1234]

nice guitar what is for?

[Riogh3]

u're not supposed to tap at the start...

[mickhannon3]

does it matter once its sounds right?

[tazp123]

Riogh3 is right... dunno why you thumb him down... It doesn't sound right, it's not meant to be tapped. I'd put it more down to laziness than individual interpretation..

[BrunBacken]

There is acctually no tapping done in this solo.. the sequence is low = lower tone mid middle and high highest tone. low - mid - high - mid - high.. this u pick.

[Andrexthor]

Your cover is really good, you changed the part of the tapping and it sounded good. Check out my cover of this same solo if you can and tell me what you think about it!

[LouSophstar]

wow! i love your guitar!!

[TheUnknownPerson011]

wow pro i can play like only a little bit of dat part

[PPsh5]

nice

[xaninha132]

vc toca bem.... =D

[gedp1213]

eso esta mal tu eres de puerto rico verdd

[ImagineLeyenda]

asqueroso

[SVBarnard]

I dont like the finger tapping you should play the whole thing with a pick.

[abysslord16]

its called sweeping

[sonicspader]

no its just picking

[abysslord16]

i realized that after i learned it, it looked like sweeping but it wasnt, i know

[WFR]

Lol no its not :D

[abysslord16]

im talking about the original guitarist who plays it

[trigardonAQ]

@SVBarnard it is played this way, he just fucked the rhythm up

[tayron27]

@trigardonAQ

Wrong!!! Norum didnt tap a single note in this solo.Its either done via sweep or speed picking.The tapping mates this sound a bit wrong,but the other parts were ok.

[trigardonAQ]

@tayron27 sure the other parts were okay, but I learned the solo from the official tab book, and it's tabbed as tapping there

[tayron27]

@trigardonAQ A lot of 'OFFICIAL' tab books are not official,trust me:) Watch how Norum plays it back in the day,and also now.You can tell just by listening to the song on CD/Vinyl that it isnt tapped.Norum isnt a player who uses tapping too much.However,the guy is an absolute genius in my eyes.

[trigardonAQ]

@tayron27 point taken. I doubt most guitar players even write their songs down ^^ and this is a masterpiece either way anyways :)

[bqpetrucci]

@SVBarnard yeah picking version is better

[JacobxMarley]

@SVBarnard i agree you will get the rhythm right if you pick the notes, which was a bit off due to tapping them instead, rest sounded fine though

[saddyy54]

awesome dude

[MAC95productions]

AWESOME!!!

[darkn3ssjohn]

nice video

your guitar is just perfect

[Understikoppen]

what is the tabs for that taping?

[thedreamsersakin]

Are you sick?? :O

[DummHans]

BEST VERSION!

and finally someone who did it with tapping;)!

[AvengeJoker]

but thats not right, norum plays it with the sweep thing and this is a completely other rythm :P

[gibsonlespaul2]

@AvengeJoker Not close to sweeps, More along the lines of Arpegio's.

[zoidskitty]

@AvengeJoker

despite what he play is not different to the song

but he is still have his style.

i think he do a great job~

[21otakugirl]

@AvengeJoker there's no sweep picking in the solo, it's this shred type thing called triads, and I'd like to see you play it better than him

[piszczek1987]

nice move :)

[crisbragado09]

im not speaking inglish...but, the version with teaping is very good!! bye bye...ARGENTINA

[galinette9]

very good job m8 ;)

[SrRockCafe]

pinches caras de mamones dan risa jajaa todos lo putos que hacen requintos tienen una cara ...jaja huuuu..

[gatorzil]

dude you're friken awesome but you make funny faces when u play lol.

[edddiux]

your video is awesome because you make your own version and don´t sounds like playback

[Viddiz]

I liked the taping ;) sounds nice

[rickdafrog]

So what if he wants to tap it? that's the beauty of NOT being Norum. You can play the way you want to and only Norum will make it sound the way it's supposed to, if there's such a thing.

He still nailed it. Personally, I prefer the non-tapping but good job anyway man!

[wednzday]

the tapping part doesn't sound right... your hands seem fast enough, why not try playing it with hammer-ons / pull-offs... nice looking guitar by the way :)

[lalobarrera99]

Well.. It does not hear as the original, but still been cool...

And your guitar is cool man!! Where do you get that mirror nail protection???

[CowardKiller]

He is playing it wrong - and I don't just mean by tapping it.

The repeated arpeggios are 16th notes interspersed with 32nd notes. Meaning it's actually faster than what he plays and also syncopated. And that also makes it harder to pull off.

[jglll]

you're right, but i think it was intentionnal

[UltimateGuitarist17]

No shit shurlok

[linkfan69]

yea your right

[damallooo]

dude!! you said the same thing on the other video too!!! LMAO XD

[CowardKiller]

Yup. Because what I am saying is true and none of these muppets can play the fucking guitar.

[jglll]

nice job

this solo seems very easy for you

i don't like the tapping part, i prefer the original stuff

you seem to have small hands for your guitar, but they move fast (lol)

good luck!!!

[cdnor]

where did you find those tabs

[78885andy]

its called learning by ear

[zegitro]

nice tapping version!try my on zegitro

[gidarrnmatze]

yeah that was great! i enjoyed it so much

listen to my version :-)

[millencolin1750]

can you play it without tapping? Play it in hammer on's/pull off's

[xdvx9]

Hey friend could u send me your tab?

[andrusblack]

Excellent...

[FTleader15]

i don't see what the big deal is, he plays it a different way than Europe's lead guitarist does, so what it still sounds good, i like the tapping better anyway

[adamantane1985]

I like your tapping)

[shittyfuck]

what is ur guitar ? is it fender ?

[zelto]

it's a Vigier excalibur

[zestCC]

nice, and pretty guitar as well

[dannazionemega]

3 month i study for the intro solo...too easy whit tapping...

[oO0GuitarBoi0Oo]

Who cares if its wrong, its nearly as the freaking solo, I dont think he posted it to make he seem like a pro without flaws.. Give him a break.

[duddu1111]

well, its a quite easy solo but good job

[markdaman99]

dang good song

[aaron8989]

A vigier excaliber.

[havalyousef]

excellent

[MO4B]

lol what a dork, who are you laughing at, an imaginary friend?

[BoneMarrowAH]

You look like mario

[Shakster321]

do you realize that the actual way to play the solo is not with tapping. you actually pick the arpeggio out. and its not triplets either. the rhythm the guitarist picks has quadruplets over every 3 16th notes.

[doomsk8er]

interesting. oh and may i ask what kind of fender that is? never seen a floyd rose in a strat.. nice vid btw

[freaakstyle]

you are hugly

[dan3066]

Super solo!!!!

[itto44]

awesoooome guitar

[rautavaari]

nice tap improvisation=DD

[fanacdcetmaiden]

can you explain how to play it please ?

[jomie999]

nice dude:D but not tapping

[thepottyfan1]

best version on you tube dude

[dannazionemega]

bravo,now tou play the original...too easy how you play the intro..i stai to the solo by 2 moth only for intro...

[GuitarMetalHead666]

YOU=WIN

[markysimp]

smooth stuff, great job. like the tapping style!

[accurist94]

is that a fender?

i dont think so but i dont no

[SilentBob008]

Vigier

[pepsicolaman1]

Badass guitar

[sportsportsport]

awesome guitar `!

[JWFcrazedguitarman]

good job

[davidrodriguez18]

muy bueno

[andrewho18]

when i first heard the solo i thought it was supposed to be done with double tap like wat he did but i just saw how the original guy played the legato way..i think ur style sounds nicer..reminds me of the power rangers solo..

[CvistMuvtkkk]

o m f g..this was perfect

[fifthof]

Hi,"I am so cool" Steven.LOL at your rancid dribble.Anyone who suggests touching kids has probably been touched themselves,you sad twat.

[Bookstop1337]

Right.. ignoring the crazy flame war going on around me.. Great job on the solo, I thought it was neat how you reinterpreted the beginning and tapped it instead of using legato!

[KGSoloMan50001]

I didn't say it was good, fuck off and save yourself writing another 2, 500 letter comments go and touch your kid while you both watch lilly allen

[cacophony2994]

wats up u little cock sucker. u realize this guy did NOT ruin the solo and so what if there isnt tapping in it i like his better and i wouldnt be talkin any shit until u post ur vid of the final countdown solo but if u post one and its better than his ill agree with u but u cant cuz u probly dont even play guitar and u probly watch this guy and whack off with motion lotion and wish u could be him.

You little cocksucker!You are only 14.Have you actually learned how to whack off yet?His solo is not good and if you can't see that you should give up your bass playing now.Start playing with your dick first then move on to a bigger instrument,may be a penny whistle.
