  • he is a awesome guitaris and a even more awesome person! funny and inspireing! I'we met him so I know :P

  • I love how people have all these expectations on how they think a guitarist should sound. When said guitarist doesn't meet their expectations, they start whining and bitching. Mattias is probably one of the few original guitarists left on the planet. Phrasing, tone, control, harmonics and knowledge of odd time signatures and theory make him one of the best.

  • His control over harmonics is incredible!

  • getting sick with all this "good enough or not" commenting around every skilled player on the net.

    why can't you people just dig the artist you came here to see?

    just enjoy the art beyond Mattias' speed and technique. his playing is unique and has a brilliant sense of humour.

    love,

    Ana

  • just like jazz.....indulgent ..overplayed ...but i love it ...yo never know what is coming next and these three guys are one of the tightest bands around...

    What they are doing is so technical its awesome...i cant go a day without listening to them..

    I can understannd that some people just dont get it..

    i cant follow opera but a lot can and i dont knock it

  • I find most shredders tedious these days. But that was AWESOME! I'm sure half the people bashing him would go ape over another satriani clone...

  • Comment removed

  • mhh don't like it, sry, sounds boring to me...

  • Reminds me alot of Vai. Sort of Jazz Fusionish.

  • This guy is a monster

  • yes the monster from Sweden. A snowman.

  • Holy shit batman!!

  • Amazing

  • My, what a sexy swedish freak!

  • amazing!!! one of the most creative guitar players!

  • well it is if no one else uses them, how many other guitarists do you know who plays melodies with natural harmonics? or even uses natural harmonics to something else than "HORSIE FROM HELL RAWRGH!!!!!!!1111oneunoyksi"?

  • o_O yeah, that's it...

  • I would take him home and pet him for the rest of my life! XD

    I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

  • reminds me of Dimebag meets Shawn Lane and Buckethead!!!!

  • you don't have to be a genius to get that this is fantastic playing, by someone with very delicate sense of the sounding and feeling of a guitar, ad to that he probaly practiced his ass off during alot of years! AMAZING

  • Their drummer is a music teacher at my school :D

  • He is good!

    But He is better than that!

  • ha??? you see ? ı cant understand you...go play ur toys kid..ı talkin about music..

  • Crazy, unique playing. Very cool.

  • no totally disagree... this is great playing

  • Honestly, no I can't understand you. That's, first of all, horrid English. Also the phrasing doesn't make sense at all and you misused the word 'his'. Lastly, the guitar playing is actually quite good compared to modern crap we all listen to on the radio and such.

    Your argument is null and void, too bad for you. Try again after you pass fourth grade

  • What? What do you mean by unnecessary?

  • unnecessary comment...

  • ffs... open your mind or shut your mouth.

  • look ur message box,i sended a gift for u son ;)

    Nice come back there tiger...

  • 0.47 - 1.00  Wonderful !

  • 1:19-1:24

    eargasm

  • Woah this Guy makes my Brain explode

    I thought i heard every Style of "How a Guitar can be played"

    I mean i know Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, some pieces of Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Mike Keaneally.

    But this Swedish Funny Talented Guy sounds totally different then everything i thought i would know about Rock / Prog Metal

    watch his 30 Min video totally amazing Music and Sense of Spontanious Humor

  • I love this man's playing..

  • I saw him live last night, and he told us that he had just turned Guns and Roses down, when they asked for a jamming session! xD

  • If you have ever seen him live/on one of his clinics, then you know, he´s a real Monster on teh Guitar.

    And by the way a really creative musician and funny guy, hehe ^^

  • IA is one of the best guitarists in the world. He got there because he practised 10 hours a day instead of going to school. Thats at least what he told me.

    and btw, the basist is my father ;P

  • yeah, and the drummer is my unborn son...

  • who said this dude sucks? xD U could ask Steve Vai (who even asked this guy for a lesson) or any other great guitarist who has beeen in touch with this guy

  • i didnt like this one.

  • Actually this guy is a very talented guitarist except you are too much of a dumb ass to notice that! go listen to slash or something and stop acting like you are better than IA...arrogant twat!

  • "tricks"?

    The reason that every radio station in the world plays anything else than Freak Kitchen and IA's music is that becuase It's beyond them. This is music by musicians, for musicians. And if you don't appreciate it, chances are it's because you simply don't understand it.

    I think I'm gonna go punch out John Nash or something because I don't understand the calculations in A Beautiful Mind :(

  • yeah ill help you mob that guy....

  • WELL SAID SIR! Thank you! FINALLY someone gets it. * I know more people do, still, it is refreshing to read your quality comment* thank you!

  • @CrashGotALeppard Sorry for commenting after a year, but you're damn right! I've had that feeling a lot recently, especially when it comes to metal; that people draw lines for what music should be like. Cross those lines, and they won't listen to it even though there's a lot of talent behind it. Perhaps it's also the key of keeping music unique that people react to it.

  • @Thatmetaldude590 I agree, take from music what you will but don't let others define your borders. Music is a state of mind, not a fashion statement.

  • PHAIL :D

  • heey, search Mattias Schering on youtube

  • i have my photo with him....

  • buseet aneh bener

  • im swedish they are swedish i live in the same city as they do "PWNED!"

  • I mean if he could put half of those trix into a song musically, and make it sound good that'd be cool.

    I mean, if he wants to play that stuff, why doesn't he kick the drummer off stage and the bassist....

    Sure he's got some pretty weird ideas for phrasing and note choice in there, but did anyone here think that sounded great?

    mayb its just me?

  • Alot of those 'trix' are in his songs.

    Especially the 'slapped' harmonics.

  • In my opinion this video sounds absolutley awesome.

  • Meh....

  • ...!

  • If all he did in his music was harmonics then I would agree, but when he uses them musically, they are fine.

    It's like any other technique. It's all about the proper use of them in context. Picking a single note is a technique and without adding other techniques that gets boring too. Hence phrasing, nuance, bending, staccato, and myriad other techniques serve to make things interesting! :)

  • Very nice.

  • well done keep up the good work, some really nice flavours coming through, have you seen billy pezzack

  • i used to think this guy was great, but hes running out of tricks, that harmonic thing is so fuckign annoying now

  • you could say that with almost every guitarist, like: OMG malmsteen's using harmonic minor again, OMG gambale's sweeping again, OMG dimebag's squealing again, OMG dragonforce can't play their solos.. still

    and so on and so on. this is just his style,you can get tired of it, but most of guitarist use the same tricks during their entire career, so don't bash him ;]

  • What can I say?

    Listen to other guitarist too :p

  • hahaha

    "OMG dragonforce can't play their solos.. "

    so funny,

    so true

  • @axiluss Agreed but dragonforce not being able to play isn't really a style, its more like something that they should probably practice lol

  • J'adore......!!!!!!!

  • Well i think he is pretty cool!

  • chui sur le cul!!!!

  • I prefer to think of it as erratic rather than sketchy.

  • I think he is creative for the most part. Vai annoys me too but I still like his work. You can't like everything they write unless you know why they wrote it. AHHHH, I just farted.

  • This guy is fun, he could be a comediant, work at a circus!

  • How does he get those light yelps out? Is he doing it with pinch harmonics?

  • normal harmonics.

  • You are an absolute fucking idiot.

  • this was a fun little jamming session. They often turn out like that.

    He does play a song, all the fucking time. Besides, he's long past guitar conventions.

    Not mainstream no, but his fame isn't false. He's got solid fans, that stay with him - therefore a stable career.

  • music is music. enjoy it for what it is. or not. keep your opinions to yourself.

  • Malmsteen is Eklundh's bitch! Mattias owns everyone

  • WHAT? are you joking? fucking idiot

  • Eklundh actually respects malmsteen - and music should never be of competition. Mattias might be better technical (he just doesn't fire it all of at once like malmsteen) but malmsteen is still a pioneer. Also Mattias is a lot more original. People seem to be afraid of exploring other music types.

  • he sure has explored a new style but some hate this entirely,somepeople also hate jason becker :? i couldn,t get that but then i got it some poeple 1st off hate hyper active guitar combos like marty/jason(they do some of the best speed metal)or they hate Jason it Arpeggiating it is few loops that are reminding to a computer sound thing that can be irritating indeed altought i repsect if you can hndle the technique as good as jason.

  • i hate solos with effects all the time

  • You don't seem to get it, do ya? Mattias uses maybe a wah, a delay and a reverb, the rest is just pure guitar, no whammy or some stupid shit like that, and he never uses any clean sounds, he just turn the volume knob down and maybe changes the pickup to get a clean sound. If you hate his solos I hate you.

  • No u don't get it because he doesn't use a wah, thats the cool thing. I saw him live and he told us that it's just pure guitar. I was standing about 3 meters awayfrom him and he didn't have any awkward equipment, just his guitar and a amplifier.

  • you think he does it without equipment?

    he even showed on some video a strange pedal he used most of the time he said :o

  • OMG!! he fucking told me. Jesus!!

    But he uses the pedal sometimes of course.

  • No. He never uses pedals.

    He uses them for playing with practice amps, that is for distortion.

    Normally it's just his guitar directly into his laney

  • he has a wah sometimes

  • sometimes he uses a wah pedal, but not any else

  • Well either you love this guy or you don't, what are ya gonna do.

  • you know what ? i agree ... for the reason im still trying to figure out why peopel are loving him. i start thinking it's only for the reason of his amzing sweep. But, the thing is, i have only heard anything from him some sounds from here and there that have TOTALLY non sense. Every note is off of the one before, it's freak how he can just not play music. Still, i dont doubt of his knowledge.

    he might know theory and all but no music

  • it's like he's in denial or summit. u culd train a monkey to do that lol. it's not even art metal or whatever, he's practicing. that's it i've cracked it, he's taking the piss out of the audience. nice to speak m8

  • You have no idea what you are talking about. His clinics are mostly showing off technique, 'cus actually that's what people come for. His solo albums does make sense. If you can't see it, you don't know music AT ALL.

  • Never said I liked those odd sweeps or that they were music. Most licks sounds like crap out of context, especially those.

    But hey, you'd be welcome to go out in your kitchen and try to imitate the sounds. Many guitar sounds can be imitated in silly ways (even though I must say, I salute you if you can imitate those sweeps with kitchen stuff).

    You took this way to offensive. Capital letters make it look so atleast.

  • Capital letters meant ^^. No offense anymore, don't worry.

  • *smokes a joint* chilly xD

  • Freak but genious !

  • My brain just exploded a couple of times

  • LOL

  • listen to his solo albums and say the same again.

  • Back to Zakk and Vai.

  • he knows the technique and how to play well, but his music is really bland and needs more than just sweeping and tapping riff after riff.. maybe a wider range of percussion and some different sounds and effects.. this dude could be the shitt if he had more instruments and things going on than just bass, drums, and himself. other than that i like what i heard, and he's got potential..

  • You're an idiot. You just judged Mattias' entire back catalogue from this mid song jam? Go check him out first before you make such a massive generalisation. He has many fine videos on you-tube and his band freak kitchen do something different every album. Until you check out some of his songs properly you should keep such an oppinion to yourself. Good-day.

  • whats a good video of him i should watch??

  • no, we have NEVER herad something of him anywhere. Cause perhaps in his album .. but if he does that all the time off of his album .. then the guy is weird ..

  • There's a reason he has his signature guitar at caparison, as a quite special one.

  • over amazing mattiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas O_O!

  • i'm with rgm

  • If this is the worst shit you ever heard, you obviously havent heard much!

    This guy is a fuckin' new age genious at the guitar, but this video isnt the best I've heard of him, check out his band Freak Kitchen!

  • round of applause

  • This is the worst shit i've ever heard

  • LOL

  • reminds me of Shawn Lane, Frank Gambale and Allen Holdsworth

  • digitaldreamdoor gave him the 7th position

  • Im tired of all this worthless shitbrains giving opinion about whos faster or whos got more technique, just enjoy the music!!, your opinion isnt worth shit, get that in your head.

  • Enjoy the music!. Is this music?

  • If you are into techniques. I suppose this guy is proficient. Nothing really but just a bunch of Random riffs.

  • If you listen to his works I doubt if you can find a single hummable melody. All he does is play one lick after another.

  • there's plenty of hummable stuff on the road less travelled :D

  • He seems to have great teachnical ability, but hes playing doesnt flow and some of his licks are a little sloppy.

  • try and listen to "freak guitar", or just maybe some freak guitar camp tunes. You'll get another view.

  • He's got a nice touch, but his improv. really doesn't flow. Awesome player otherwise.

  • wow if i could get the sweeping tecnigue down it might sound as sloppy as that did. i really suck

  • pffft, i thought this guy was supposed to be better than malmsteen, what a joke...

  • He is.

  • Exactly what I was here for Because that guy said this dude was better than malmsteen. This guys pretty good but Malmsteen's better

  • you can't judge him by 1 minute af 52 seconds. He's so much more

  • Joe Satriani's next student.

  • how ´bout joe satrianis next teacher?

  • you didn't really saw what he is capable of. -.- I think he's better than malmsteen, I also think malmsteen's good. And I can easily see how you don't think he's better than malmsteen if you only watch this.

  • heh, i seriously doubt malmsteen could do anything IA does in this video, and this is far from IA:s best. I've never seen malmsteen use tremolo to much, or tapping or sweeping for that matter.

  • yngwie not sweeping? wow.... you must mean you've seen yngwie play at all

  • well, I have the album "rising force" and I have the G3 denver dvd with satriani, vai and malmsteen, but I get bored with Yngwie in less than two minutes, so I might've missed some sweeps. I hate when he plays far beyond the sun on that dvd, and totally destroys his own song with mindless shredding instead of the regular cool riffs.

  • who watch the G3 03 to see malmsteen ? i bought it for Vai ... and i still watch it every night before sleeping ...

  • ah g3 yeah i seen it yngwie was the worsest in that dvd he distroys its barouqe,Vai did great Satch did great but he fucked it,i really dont like this guy that much,a freak show at the time okay everone loves to do it but this guys sweeps are sooo lame,its pathetic he,s got no structure.

  • right and wrong. Yngwie makes the same "sounds" all the time, wich can quite fast get boring. But there is structure in what he does. Just almost always the same. And he plays everything fast, just makes you bored.

  • could be,and i bet he,s unike but if i hear this its just a bunch of headache,it nice you can wistle up you dog with some arpeggios and stuff for dessert but i bet if mathias has a dog i think itt,l eat him one time.I think he,s from a diffrent rass of dog i think hes more like a cockespaniel or something the kind that like wistels on guitar :b.

  • I managed to decode your post, and yeah. Well if you judge him on random jams or random stuff on youtube, you can totally have that opinion. Sadly most of his best songs aren't available anywhere else than on his albums. Might upload a few to youtube though.

  • Its you like it and i dont hate it,he is a new breath of music but i hate his humor a bit.He should go out to jam with polland or something i heard mathias play just serious music and he manages to do that well and i heard song where he didnt even use to much picking,his serious music can have some really chill bluesy feel,he is defnitly a doffrent one,he defnitly should jame one time with polland.

  • That just souds horrible.

  • I love this guys style

  • An in the darkness he said...Let there be light...and there was light ...and he saw that it was good...

  • JesseS240 is being stupid so we can let him continue being a moron and blabber about what he says he is. No one really cares about him. We all know IA is a true genius and not as gay as someone who says he studied in an imaginary University. Let's leave that moron alone.

    Mattias rocks!

  • jesse s420.... i teach guitar u twat and i can tell you he is quite the musician, probably better than you

  • i dont like it

  • jaja,.... let me know you that im best guitar player than you. so if you don't know anything about me just shut your stupid mouth

  • Hey Isaac1415 what Note would make a Flat 5th in an Eminor Flat 5, and as Far as Yngwie, If you like hearing the same old Key of C Maj, Played at ligthning speed on every Album then By All means Yngwie rules, But Go Check out Freak Guitar, Mattias is a new Breed, He's Jammed with Steve Vai and was signed by Vai for Favored Nations, He can't suck that Bad, This video isn't the best he can do, and he's pretty brilliant when it comes to Theory and his knowlege of Modes,

  • MAttias is one of the best guitar players on the world assholes!!!!!

  • He`s BEYOND you assholes thats for shure...

  • dude you are right this guy totally sucks big black hairy nutsack this guy is a serious chode smoke and needs to up guitar because he really sucks and the whammy part is the worst it repeats TWENTY times i dont care if you reply to my comment because i will only give you a friendly fuck you and state your own asshole because i studied guitar on a university level and this guy sucks.....really sucks p.s. hes gay for the record, as gay as it gets

  • give up*

  • nice vids Jesse... :o

  • Holy crap you studied guitar at a university level?! WOah! Maybe now you should take some classes in logic, dipshit, and realize how stupid your comment is!

  • Ahah JesseS420 you're really pathetic, dude.. You can like or dislike Ia's style, that's a matter of taste.. But you must admit that technically he's a beast, he's an innovator, and he's a really cool and funny guy as well. If you had studied guitar at high level you should as well has learnt something about respecting other musicians and not simply bashing genious guys like Ia staying behind a keyboard. As I said, that's pathetic..

  • You're right. Minus the whammy bar, effects, amps and the lights this guy is nothing. I'd appreciate if he'd do something impressive with the acoustic guitar.

  • And I'd like to see you be given a whammy bar, effects, amps and lights and see if you can make something of it!!

    I've got nothing against acoustic players because I am one, but I play electric aswell and you can't compare the two like that because it is impossible to use even similar styles on both of them.

  • shut up your fuckin' cocksuckers

    he'is one of the best guitarplayers on the world

  • This sounds like ass and the ass is added to by the stuck up music students playing beside him.
