I agree with the 46 people... this is pretty bad... if someone did a cover of celine dion you'd expect them to learn it and reherse and have the talent to suceed at such an enormous task of making something so unique sound good, on par with the original!
nice try, practice makes perfect!
P.S. if you think you playin the wrong note you are and you don't have an ear for music... notes don't change and a properly tuned ear doesn't forget!! ;)

i think you did very good. the sound isnt all that great but you DID play it right, maybe not some techniques but you did play most of it right. i see were you didnt "sweep" but it sounds the fuckin same whether if you sweep or wut ever you did. so good job dude, ill be watching your other videos
when you do guitar sweeps your not supposed to just strum up and down really fast while sliding your left hand up and down the fretboard but good job tho.
Lol you think that he just copied and pasted that??

@KronikalAnoshmo I know exactly what sweep picking entails, but it sounds like you know of a sweep picking bit where I'm not actually trying to sweep pick.
I learned this thing by ear, so chances are that I'm not even playing it exactly like the real deal.
So, where, exactly, do you reckon I'm getting the sweep picking wrong?
Dude anyone who can do this shit is awesome. I recently ripped tendons in my hands and I can't play guitar properly ever again. So I think your videos awesome and I do recommend you always play cuz it's a kick in the nuts when you can't :/
@str1kerfswc Both hands, what happened is I was on my bike home and my wheel locked so I went flying onto a road and as I tried to back up a car just crushed my hands. I broke 2 fingers on my right hand and 3 on the left and I ripped all my tendons. It's impossible for me to play, I've tried and it really is just impossible. I can't play the right note fast enough or I really hurt my hand in the process. And yes it sucks ass.
@2pacdragonforce Well, on the old amp, I just turned everything to 10. Easy enough :P.
On my new amp, the Spider III 30, I use the "Insane" preset, with Drive roughly 7-8, Bass on 5, Mid on 10 and Treble on 8-9. The Drive tends to add a lot of a bass for me, so I tend to tone it down.
Yeah, you're definitely not hitting everything quite right. Not that I can fault you for it. This song is brutally difficult, so I have to at least give you props for getting as close as you did.
that was really good, but get a new guitar, or at least a better amp with presets, like a Line 6, they sound amazing, get somthin like that and then put it up.. but stll did good
This is good, But, i think strats are amazing for all music, as long as you get a good one, calling it less than perfect is kind of weird lol, I use a fender american custom strat, and love it, it does anything i want, The only other guitar i would buy would be a gibson custom Explorer.
Now I have a Line 6 Spider III 30. I really like it, and my god it makes my less-than-perfect guitar sound really nice, plus the inbuilt noise gate has fixed many problems for me.
Works better for regular metal like All That Remains rather than Dragonforce, but it's still awesome.
Well tried matey, bloody impressed tht u learned that by ear! a true attempt and i respect tht! keep up the gd work and i am sure u will get it perfect soon enough!
Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar (I'll just turn down the mid and treble knobs), Voice Guitar (to replace singing), Piano Guitar (replace the piano).
And of course a Drum Guitar!
Dunno' how I'd do that one. Maybe I'll just tap the guitar with my hands...
people need to stop dissin this vid man, its like the best ever, its just a cover, so stop sayin the first bit is an acoustic. like chill out n just watch the skill
I've seen vids of live performances where they play the first keyboard bit on acoustic, but those are isolated cases I think, because the whole thing is electric, basically, aside from drums of course.
Even in the music video, its all electric instruments, no acoustic guitars as far as I'm aware.
Well, I basically started learning this song on the first day I started learning guitar, so about a year or so. I didn't have an amp then, so their wasn't much I could do, even with the computer software which did amp stuff for me.
It was around Christmas 07 when I got a real amp, and it was then I could start to use hammer-ons and tap a bit.
Playing Dragonforce songs now is a lot easier, but working out the notes is still pretty tough at times.
I bet you were really bored when you made all that text in the video ^^ Btw you could add 'Herman Li can't do it better!' to the text 'GET OVER IT.......' that would be awesome ^^ gj
Don't wanna' go calling myself better than Herman Li, though, since I wouldn't be here with thirty-seven and a half thousand views if he hadn't produced the song :P.
Well, hopefully I'll be earning some money from my position as an assistant tennis coach, plus there's my plan to produce a deferred game rendering engine, then eventually a game.
But, the stuff will come in this order:
1) CBR 150R (motorbike)
2) Cyber-Twin SE
3) Gibson Explorer or Ibanez E-Gen
4) Ellsworth Epiphany (mountain bike)
I've played an Explorer before in a shop, it's so nice. The lack of a tremolo doesn't bother me much.
Well, it's more than likely the CBR 150R will come from my parents anyway, plus a Cyber-Twin SE won't help with my e and B strings producing dual tones, so I'll move the Explorer and E-Gen to number 2 :P.
Man, I am very impressed...just an observation, the beginning that you made with the lead guitar is an intro made on keybord, BUT YOU DID IN A GUITAR, AWESOME dude. Keep up the good work.
finally i found an actual cover it was great and what do you mean you play everything like you play the lead and rhythm obviously do you play the keyboard and drums in it also or what im pretty sure i misunderstood it please explain oh yeah and why did you block out your face did you think people would hate on you or something
Alright, reading that made my head explode, so I'll try and answer as best as I can :P.
I play guitar only in this cover, but when it says "keyboard" it implies that the current bit I was playing in the beginning is actually played on the keyboard in the real song.
As for my face, I haven't actually blocked it out on purpose. My phone's exposure levels are quite low, so my room and my face, which are well-lit don't appear much.
In itself its a great cover, but if I wanted to compare it to what is on the album you didnt bend enough. Some of it sounded like if it was being played by a robot. Thats just what I think tho. I've only been playing guitar for like 10 months so you know better than me.
Not sure about bending and whatnot, but I attribute the lack-of-likeness due to the fact that my amp has no reverb, let alone controllable reverb, and I have no pedals, no switches, nothing that could possibly aid in the changing of sounds during the song, and nothing that could make my sound more like theirs.
Can't put it straight down to equipment though.
My earlier days of playing involved little bending when working out how to play songs. I bend more now though.
I don't have much time to make another guitar cover, but if I do, it'll probably be Inside the Winter Storm.
From what I've learned so far, I sound quite similar to the actual song, but again, my equipment can only take me so far.
I'm probably gonna' see what I can do post-process though. Record the song, then mess with sound effects in Adobe Premiere and maybe we'll have something, who knows.
The challenge would be to use peddles and stuff whilst playing though, that'd be awesome.
Started on the 31st of March '07, so when I did this vid about a year and a half, a little bit more than that.
Now I'm into my third year, not really doin' much. I'm learning Inside the Winter Storm now, which I like quite a lot since it's not the typical extremely fast Dragonforce, it's a bit slower but still has some hard solos.
you uploaded this dragonforce vid the same time i uploaded one like this and 5 months later you have 33,000 views and I dont even have 2,000, what gives? :(
Only differences were that you pulled it off better, you had a lot of motion blur, you only played the solo, you didn't play chords when it was the other guitar's solo section, and I have other covers of songs which could potentially lead to this one through the "Related Videos" panel.
whitch guitar you are usin' ? is it a stratocoaster ? Couse if it is a strat you should by the number 7 sized string and set the center of the srtings to the 12.fret than it will be much more easier to play fast scales in the music, I'm playing since 20 years sry. But in the music school where I was larning how to play they teached us in that way. So I hope I helped you. and I didin't hurt you (didn't wanted)
This guitar's a Yamaha Legend, and I don't know too much about string sizes and whatnot. I know more about amps, tone controls, pick-ups and tremelo systems.
Ideally I'd like a guitar similar to the E-Gen, since the lower horn was carved out more to accommodate the player's hand better, plus it twenty-four frets, four of which are scalloped.
Right now, with this guitar, especially with a sweep in the first solo, my hand jams up against where the lower-horn joins the neck.
how the fuck are u fucking retarded ! no doubt hes badass but ur saying that hes better than the guy who fucking mad his solo like really and he messed up herman doesnt mess up he peforms this in concerts like dude kill urself he may be bad ass but hes not better than herman
You are the best guitarist I have ever seen hands down. Not because of skill, which you have TONS of, but because you spent the time and effort working on this entire song without giving up. That is inspiration. I have only actually saw through learning 2 songs to the end and you have extremely high potential. If you're really serious about this ask your parents to move to a country that will let you explore your talent more with a band or something. But I'm telling you, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Cool

At the "You tottally messed up dude.." you should have added 'Herman Li does that too live..' at the "GET OVER IT..." would have been even more fun ^^
"GET OVER IT... Herman Li does that too live.." or something like that

a good amp is the Line 6 Spider III
21boomboom21 2 years ago
Yeah, I know a dude who just started playing and bought one of those.
He just started playing about a month ago and starts with that amp, plus an Epiphone SG.
My god...
I'm aiming for the top though, I want my next amp to be the Cyber-Twin SE, and nothing less XD.

In itself its a great cover, but if I wanted to compare it to what is on the album you didnt bend enough. Some of it sounded like if it was being played by a robot. Thats just what I think tho. I've only been playing guitar for like 10 months so you know better than me.
bassface17 2 years ago
Not sure about bending and whatnot, but I attribute the lack-of-likeness due to the fact that my amp has no reverb, let alone controllable reverb, and I have no pedals, no switches, nothing that could possibly aid in the changing of sounds during the song, and nothing that could make my sound more like theirs.
Can't put it straight down to equipment though.
My earlier days of playing involved little bending when working out how to play songs. I bend more now though.

I don't have much time to make another guitar cover, but if I do, it'll probably be Inside the Winter Storm.
From what I've learned so far, I sound quite similar to the actual song, but again, my equipment can only take me so far.
I'm probably gonna' see what I can do post-process though. Record the song, then mess with sound effects in Adobe Premiere and maybe we'll have something, who knows.
The challenge would be to use peddles and stuff whilst playing though, that'd be awesome.

pretty damn good
wish my skills were up to your level
how long have you been playing?
shinningeagle 2 years ago
Started on the 31st of March '07, so when I did this vid about a year and a half, a little bit more than that.
Now I'm into my third year, not really doin' much. I'm learning Inside the Winter Storm now, which I like quite a lot since it's not the typical extremely fast Dragonforce, it's a bit slower but still has some hard solos.
str1kerfswc 2 years ago
It was awesome man =) But change your distorsion, this is sucks a little x)
Anyway this is a great cover 5*

you uploaded this dragonforce vid the same time i uploaded one like this and 5 months later you have 33,000 views and I dont even have 2,000, what gives? :(
truetechnique09 2 years ago
Don't ask me.
Only differences were that you pulled it off better, you had a lot of motion blur, you only played the solo, you didn't play chords when it was the other guitar's solo section, and I have other covers of songs which could potentially lead to this one through the "Related Videos" panel.
I guess it's just a bit of chance :P.

spudly666 2 years ago
Sry my bad I've changed the words :$
whitch guitar you are usin' ? is it a stratocoaster ? Couse if it is a strat you should by the number 7 sized string and set the center of the srtings to the 12.fret than it will be much more easier to play fast scales in the music, I'm playing since 20 years sry. But in the music school where I was larning how to play they teached us in that way. So I hope I helped you. and I didin't hurt you (didn't wanted)
odon18 2 years ago
This guitar's a Yamaha Legend, and I don't know too much about string sizes and whatnot. I know more about amps, tone controls, pick-ups and tremelo systems.
Ideally I'd like a guitar similar to the E-Gen, since the lower horn was carved out more to accommodate the player's hand better, plus it twenty-four frets, four of which are scalloped.
Right now, with this guitar, especially with a sweep in the first solo, my hand jams up against where the lower-horn joins the neck.
Sucks.

after the Intro, that fast skale (sry 4 bad english)
odon18 2 years ago
Ah, well that's not a riff.
A riff would be a series of notes constantly repeated, like in a verse.
I can't hit scales fast enough with this guitar, my fingers are always being limited by the lower horn and the general design.
I hate this guitar badly...

You are the best guitarist I have ever seen hands down. Not because of skill, which you have TONS of, but because you spent the time and effort working on this entire song without giving up. That is inspiration. I have only actually saw through learning 2 songs to the end and you have extremely high potential. If you're really serious about this ask your parents to move to a country that will let you explore your talent more with a band or something. But I'm telling you, YOU ARE AMAZING!
