[96hisinfernalmajesty]

do you skate ? just because of the manny mania sticker on your guitar ^^

[ErikEspangberg]

@96hisinfernalmajesty Yeah but I'm not that good, I have it to support a friend of mine mostly, his name is Mårten Rapp.

[musicluva33]

You're amazing! Very talented. :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@musicluva33 Thanks a lot :)

[musicfamily]

Love the arpeggios! What kind of practise is needed to do appeggios like that?

[ErikEspangberg]

@musicfamily The way I learned to play those arpeggios, was to play them slow (starting at around 50bpm), and speed them up by maybe 1-2bpm a week. The thing about sweeps is that it takes lot of time, but one day you wake up and are able to play them and wonder why it has taken so long. After a while you can play everything with sweeps as its a right-hand technique. I guess its around 4k hours put into my sweeping technique. It would've been half that, if I did it the right way from the beginnin

[ErikEspangberg]

@musicfamily Start with 3-string sweep patterns. And lastly; Thank you very, very much! :)

[1059lisa]

[KihlbaumCreative]

Really nice! What an awesome riff. How do you practice to nail that kind of insane riff?

[ErikEspangberg]

@KihlbaumCreative I dont really have a specific way to learn to play songs, it's more about how much i practice :)

[NamelessFaceless97]

Wow. This is really good. I really like your style.

Good luck with your band!

[KihlbaumCreative]

@ErikEspangberg Looking forward to it

[TheMrgamedude]

ur awesome im ten i play the guitar im tryin to learn this song

[ErikEspangberg]

@TheMrgamedude It's great that you try to learn it even before I'm finished with it :) ! but If you wait until I'm done with It I can send you an mp3 of it that you can do whatever you want with :D

[ashlequinn]

YOU play beautifully.

i have a straight crush with your playing ability.

[ErikEspangberg]

@ashlequinn Thanks a lot! You said something that is more important than technique is in my view, you said; "YOU play beautifully" which I take as a great compliment since it's about "feeling". All of you that don't have injuries have the ability to learn to play like me and I'll help you on your way! I have already promised another dude here on youtube to make a tutorial on sweep-picking, so watch out for it :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@912heman Thanks for the encouraging words :)

[Promession]

nice, im diggin it

[ErikEspangberg]

@Promession Thanks! All you guys make me happy! :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@912heman "Created Below" we dont have much recorded since we are more of a live act, but you can like us on facebook and we also have a song there in the music-player. Thanks Again dude!

[ErikEspangberg]

@912heman Of course I'll tell you :)

[CHRISJANDMOIZONE]

This sounds Awesome man.! but just got a bit boring because you kept repeating that sweep. but it was cool.

[ErikEspangberg]

@CHRISJANDMOIZONE Thanks!

[SuperGangster88]

your guitar skills are fucking amazing!! Btw Very good song!! Rock on dude!! \,,/

[ErikEspangberg]

@SuperGangster88 Thanks! Rock on you to and rest assured that I will

[jeicobstar]

XD

[CliffThaRiff]

That was awesome man. I can't sweep pick for my life, but it sounded pretty nice here. I'm diggin' the song! Great job!

[ErikEspangberg]

@CliffThaRiff Thanks! means a lot :)

[DevinZ16]

Epic

[ErikEspangberg]

@DevinZ16 Thanks!

[ErikEspangberg]

@knestleknox Thanks! all the comments I'm getting on this song is meaning a lot to me! :)

[juancarlosportillog]

Good, I like it. I like the arpeggios. I think your distor is ok. Just a little synchro with the rythm part (at the very beginning). Good stuff. Thumbsup.

[ErikEspangberg]

@juancarlosportillog Thanks dude! I'll repost it as a whole song later I guess :)

[mitchellvanvliet]

I like when he sweep picked.

[ErikEspangberg]

@mitchellvanvliet Thanks!

[Hatredismypride]

I favorite part of the guitar solo is the Sweep picking yeah! awesome!

[ErikEspangberg]

@Hatredismypride Thanks soo much dude! yeah, even I kinda like the sweeps the most :)

[fredrikeklundh]

Sådär ja, det börjar ta sej med sweepingen! Testa gör precis samma solo men i 1,5 x tempot så tror jag det blir ännu snyggare! Och j, jah teor su behöver vrida på disten en aning aå blir det nog lite renare och konstanta toner! Keep up the good work!

[ErikEspangberg]

@fredrikeklundh Tack freddan :) jo det skulle jag väl kunna prova. Jag har svårt för att bestämma mig vad gäller det där med dist, det är ju skitsvårt! för antingen är det alldeles för mkt eller på tok för lite dist ;). Thanks again, and I will!

[ackling]

Where's the distortion???????????

[ErikEspangberg]

@ackling Do you think i need more distortion?

[guitarmaster123445]

@ackling Don't need a bunch of distortion to cover up his sound. The tone is just fine the way it is. :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@guitarmaster123445 Thanks dude :)

[ackling]

@guitarmaster123445 I didn't say anything about the tone. I was talking about the distortion. Gain. Overdrive.

[ErikEspangberg]

@figliodimercurio Of course! i'll take a listen :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@yakmaniac Thanks! Yeah, the backing could've been better :), great advice :)

[Alez15666]

Nice, but too heared..

[ErikEspangberg]

@Alez15666 Thanks :)

[shckr7]

Awesome, very cool dude. I am lucky I can make a chord let alone play arpeggios like that...... :)

[ErikEspangberg]

@shckr7 Thanks!

[HomasterX]

sounds cool, I probably wouldn't over do the sweeps tho unless your going for a neo classical thing XD

im getting some recordings down too, once i get a better camera

[ErikEspangberg]

@HomasterX Thanks! I just love sweeps i guess :)

[pentallideath001]

:)

[ErikEspangberg]

@aPandorasboxofmusic Thanks! Every comment means a lot to me! :)

[LiKEAnDrOiD]

AWESOME X)

[ErikEspangberg]

@LiKEAnDrOiD Thanks!

[ShaoZhan]

I like it, your sweeping is very clean. A friendly tip if i may add, in your solo, when u play the melody ( not the arpeggios part) try placing your switch in the middle for both pickups, u still get the mellow sound for high frets, but adds a bit more crunchiness to the tone to cover up uneven vibration of your D string. Also on the first part of the melody since its slow, you could add some faint delay so your B (24th fret at the end) hold sounds bit better :)

[ShaoZhan]

@ShaoZhan faint delay effect *

[ErikEspangberg]

@ShaoZhan Thanks! Advice is always great :D

[ShaoZhan]

Thats GNX4 drum machine :O

[ErikEspangberg]

@ShaoZhan Nope, some midi drum kit i found on the computer ;), but i agree, it sounds exactly like the drumkit in the gnx4 :)

[MalcolmAkner]

Sweet!! :D Älskar sweepsen!

[ErikEspangberg]

@MalcolmAkner Tack som fan Malcolm :D
