"Strings on Fire" with Herman Li - TOP 3 picks

[H4rvm4n]

herman li thrashed ASS

[edallagnol]

Conclusion: Herman Li just totally destroys! Awesome guitarrist!

[pezakb007]

มีจารแจ๊คด้วย ย. เจ๋งอ่ะ .



[09whatsupwhat]

Am i the only person that thinks that Herman Li's take is the worst one out of all 4 of them??? lol. the first three were realllly sick!

[bellion028]

wow chris feener

[DaveMustaineOwns]

Herman Lee isn't nearly as bad as everyone decides to portray him as, it's all just intimidation and agreeing with the crowd so that they don't feel like the only idiot that actually thinks he can play. I personally don't like DF, but their guitar players aren't shit, they aren't shit for pro's either. Like i said, it's everyone following the crowd. So Un-Metal :(

[zeinwich]

suka

[urmomnos]

So is that a genetically-engineered Rob Halford sound-a-like at the end!?!?

[guitarralaraja]

"it reminded me  me when i was a teenager practicing in my bedroom"

No problem Herman we believe you, you play like a teenager.

[SKnightK]

9:48 sounds so sexy

[Afrothunderkat]

3rd and last (thailand) where the best

[aMondayMorning]

Aside from Herman, Pop Woravit was the best. I'm not sure why he didn't win.

[Haiskoahanta]

There are really people saying herman is a noob against the other three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU ALL CRAZY??? he could send them all to hell, his solo at the end was three times faster and ten times harder to play... by the way his camera is very shitty :) (But very nice hybrid picking from damjan i wanna say too)

[rebellionlv3]

Wow the dude at the end of this video has a wonderful voice very impressive

[26psyside]

Are you kidding me? Damjan was by far the best.....

[Cuong2141]

why most of the good guitarist have long hair?:|

[HammerFallman]

HammerFall T-shirt. Fuck yeah!

[GUSTAVTT]

AE, BRAZIL REPRESENTANDO, PORRA

BRAZIL RULE STHE WHOLE WORLD, JUST SEE ANGRA!!

[saifulmokri]

06:24 No string (what??) on the neck.

What did he say? What is that for anyway?

[rancidhotmail]

@saifulmokri no string damper, its for eliminating unwanted noise. very useful when tapping a lot with a high gain/distortion tone

[gibsondanny]

@saifulmokri Damper... Usually a hairband of somekind

[alexmunn36]

I am surprised that pop didn't I personally thought it was the best one

[bigfish454m]

Pop Woravit all the fucking way this kid is crazy a mind of his owen

[riders84com]

I wan't donwload this video....

[kyprosal1]

whooooooooyeahhhhh rock onnnnnnn!!!!

[killerkoikarp]

killrrbuckeye ftw!

[BloatedMonk]

Herman's improvisation at the end was better than the top 3...i guess that's why hes the professional.

[fightbox4]

i would love to see another famous guitarist on this video but as a contestent like syu from galneryus or something would be so dam funny hermans face would be like :O

[darkshredder951]

@fightbox4 excellent choice of guitarist. Syu is awesome and Galneryus are incredible. one of the best bands to hail from Japan. shame that Syu has such little international recognition.

[fightbox4]

@darkshredder951 love galneryus one of the best bands in japan saw them live once when yama-b was the singer it was amazing

[darkshredder951]

@fightbox4 damn lucky mate. where about's were they. btw, do you know if they are/will be touring the UK anytime soon?

[fightbox4]

@darkshredder951 i saw them in tokio as well as loudness they were also aswell and i really doubt they would play in the uk they dont have a big enough fan base here very sad i think because there a great band its like dragonforce alot of people hate them i like them even with there new singer power metal forever

[darkshredder951]

@fightbox4 yeah i know what you mean. oh well i hope to go to japan in a couple years, so perhaps i'll go see them then. as for dragonforce, i love the band and i'm seeing them for the 3rd time this year, so i know exactly what you mean about the shit they get :)

[fightbox4]

@darkshredder951 like i said power metal forever 

[rokenrol17]

pop woravit is the first for me

[elbonney]

Ignore my chinese acsent...woooohhh.oops..

[RyWhitakerGuitarist]

Personally I like the 3rd place guy better than the ones in 2nd or 1st

[GameRocker2D]

Pop was amazing! Great video, thanks for the inspiration!

[Choppyrules]

anyone else think of rob halford when you hear that guy sing at the end?

[ghgodsexposed]

Pop was my fav they had the sound that fits me. I think Daniel's was out of melody and rhythm altogether. And I'm pretty sure that guy from the end is the singer to the band Hammer Fall.......

[FlamingAntelope667]

@ghgodsexposed Haha, no that is definitely not the singer for Hammerfall.

[ghgodsexposed]

@FlamingAntelope667 how do u know

[FlamingAntelope667]

@ghgodsexposed Just by simply looking at a picture of either, or you can even compare their voices.  Either way they look and sound quite different.

[DirtyPossum23]

special pick should have been in top 3 atleast

[wendleydmais]

I look just to Brazil and see you say something that Brazil won q there was not as good flar not for the truth if I escolhec that the boy would stay in Thailand the third and first Damjam this would even show up here in top 3 ..

[Nathanb6424]

jean wins :) singers deserve credit XD

[zoneforgamers]

Damjan 1st for me

[bricedelanice]

where can we download the song (i mean the song behind their solos)?

[Develicously]

I love how most of the haters on this video forget that all of these contestants would have practiced their solos for months while herman just popped that out as an improvisation and yet its still as good if not better in some ways than some of the solos played.

[Nathanb6424]

@Develicously disagree... i asked sean how long it took for him to create the solo he made, he said 2 weeks lol

[Develicously]

@Nathanb6424 sorry, two weeks. It's still an inordinate amount of time to create a guitar solo even for a guitarist as great as sean. I have no doubt all three of those guitarists could pop out an improvisation like herman did, just as well. The point is herman still got it and people don't seem to appreciate that.

[Nathanb6424]

@Develicously ohh wasnt argueing that... XD i was just saying it took him 2 weeks... but he was on call of duty most of the time to me and he has a full time job so yh, just saying lol XD

[chancewasted]

all of the contestants will own herman li

[allan27slash]

its jackie chan doing herman li's stuff...

haha!!

[MusicMessiah604]

Intro song <3 KILLRBUCKEYE YOU FUCKING RULE

[akisplevrias1]

the second one should be a total asshole if he thinks that f.y.r.o.m its macedonia

[metallicakav]

@akisplevrias1 go in hell

[MakeMeMad31]

whats the name of the opening song?

[robertball13]

@MakeMeMad31 killrbuckeye - the rising.

Pretty sick dont ya think?

[MakeMeMad31]

@robertball13 yeah it is.i discovered it yesterday while looking the description lol

[antimatter07]

If herman li is fake why would ibanez give a shit to make his own custom guitar.. use common sense for fuck sake men..

[Tihi45]

oooo schhhittt...DAMIJAN...OOO...SK­IIIIIITTTTTT....SUND IS ABNORMAL...CCCCCC..YUGOSLAVIJA­ PLAYING...ITS ABNORMAL MAN..

[alexsk221]

lol BRASIL NA CABEÇA ISSO AE DANIEL...MANDO bem...por um certo tempo achei que era o kiko tocando haha...parabens.

[solidranger]

awwwwful lot of clanking with Herman's. i hear it then its gone...kinda seems fishy....

[TheStonedAsian1]

@solidranger its called changing pickups, and his pick hitting the strings..

[nagmalitongyawa]

@solidranger of course. the clanking makes it genuine. without it would make it seem fishy.

[Daavidforce]

/,,/  /,,/

[zoneforgamers]

Damjan FTW

[sartaajhussain]

Pop takes the cake man. That was freakin amazing...

[BennyT95]

R.I.P. Jimmy </3

[believas21]

ohrid MACEDONIA????omg history fail!macedonia is part of greece you losers!

[kanedeadman1]

jimmys gone :'( the band aint the same now

[ATRIDIS123]

great players but i would like to say something...OHRID is NOT IN MACEDONIA...MACEDONIA IS IN GREECE!!!!!!!

[DarkoAxl]

@ATRIDIS123 Macedonia is Macedonia and it's not in your country! Ohrid is in Macedonia!!!

[ATRIDIS123]

@DarkoAxl My friend with all the respect i was born in a village in Macedonia so my father and my grandfather and the father of him and i can tell you that Macedonia belong to Greece...what you call Macedonia is called F.Y.R.O.M. and it is just a political game (the name).FYROM has 38% of Makedonia and when a greek hears about that he cries!So again with all the respect MAKEDONIA IS IN GREECE!

[ltownrocker133]

Seans solo really made me think of megadeth =p

[PeanutButterGtr]

Herman wins... 

[Shxric]

lol hey guys, its jackie chan with a guitar :D



[jbnaruto93]

@Shxric there you go jeje watch my channel bro

[ameboth92]

Satriani should teach those guys how to play... :)

[x7VenGeaNcE7x]

Third place deserves 1st. definately :/

[Fluffypopcicle]

i think herman li did great with the improv, his tone was just really weak.

[Thomboline]

Herman Li's improvisation (oh god, I hope it was improvised) did not match any of the soloes in the top 3. He didn't mention any of the things that the other judges did. He said a little something about some different scales and such, but not more. To me it seems liked he is all about speed. I would much rather listen to the other three guitarists than to Herman Li.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Thomboline

"To me it seems liked he is all about speed." WELL NO SHIT!!! there is a reason why this contest is called STRINGS ON FIRE. the # 1 choice was a good choice anyways, it wasn't just speed. he had a very excellent choice of notes and a more outlandish choice notes than the others for sure. no string dampener either, that's cheating. daniel's was actually very kiko loureiro-like, pretty cool.

[Stephanie3410C]

All 3 guitarists were awesome here, I think the judges went with Daniel cuz he used the entire neck from top to bottom. Damjan can shred with the best of them, but Daniel's sound was definitely way more original by far.

[ICJ3X]

ugh I dont give a fuck about the rev

[1234brandondavis]

very underrated guitar player. awesome

[fadly208]

herman li anjenk jago kali hahahahahahahahahaha

[GollumeSmigol]

In my opinion Herman Li it's not i fake. But if he is... What about Michael Angelo Batio?

[MultiRaiha]

all these guys have huge talent ..cheers

[FaithsFallen]

Sean won the contest, totally wrong choice for 1st place no offense ...

[ggmaster86]

If Dimebag had a son, he would have been banned from the contest and became one of the judges \m/

[benno369]

i find it funny that if herman had been a contestant and entered...I dont think he would've even placed. its amazing how many insane guitarists there are out there! scary! Damjan should've won in my opinion. his technique is flawless.

[yeahyeahyeahz2345]

At 11:53 Herman looks like a diabolical mad scientist. Anyway, my favorite is definitely the 3rd place winner. However Damjan's use of hybrid picking is fucking insane.

[MurrayHerts]

Damjan reminded me of slash in places

[Ahseyo]

herman's playing is way to unclean here for me. fake and gay. it just sounds like he is... well his improv isn't good at all.

[MasterPoke512]

@Ahseyo Fake? You can obviously hear his pick hitting the strings. There's a clicking sound when he picks.

[soundsofamusement]

I dont like his face

[MrMeAndMyVideos]

wow chris feener did this b4 Threat Signal

[0ConfrontTheCarnage0]

herman you deserve to be in a decent band

[blekidud]

@0ConfrontTheCarnage0

dragonforce deserve a descent guitarist

[klklklklkjlkjjhu]

@0ConfrontTheCarnage0

i totally agree, Dragonforce isn`t a place for a gifted guitarist like Herman.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@0ConfrontTheCarnage0

Herman Li would be screwed without Dragonforce. Mainly because Sam Totman is the one that writes most of the stuff in Dragonforce. That implies that Herman can't songwrite.

[mojoefly]

damjam is the winner for me.

[woodz1491]

man....the 2nd guy shoulda won...that shit was great

[1stSgtSoulStealer]

NeoGeofanatic shoulda gotten top 3...Arnaud is a freakin beast on the fret board

[xxdemestrosxx]

@1stSgtSoulStealer he`s not....he has got a too intensive use of vibrato and he just put some fast licks together (of course it is really really hard to play , but it doesn`t sound as good as these picks....and that`s what it is about.... negeo is very good....but they`re better)

[bigmonkeyneif]

hermans picture at the beggining looks like he's super saiyan 3 haha i love it.

[GuillermoSmyser]

@bigmonkeyneif HERMAN IS SUPER SAIYAN 3! Haven't you heard his playing?! haha

[trashtalkwiz]

Pop woravit shulda won



[joja93x]

damjan woud fuck them all and then go for the boss herman noob.

[callmesmorz]

just beacuse theres an acoustic guitar doesn't mean its melodic

[CrashDu49]

i like the oops

[xIPH4Z0NIx]

12:11 is the best xD

[Ragnarszymanski]

number 3 is better than herman

[Diego3jg]

cacete, so tem fera

espero entrar nessa lista logo!

[Daavidforce]

todos tocan POCAMADRE pero herman mas XB

dragonfoce!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daavidforce]

oohh si !!! ;DDDD

[Zip2461996]

Bass competition?

[aeee]

is it or is the intro track really bad ass?

[goawaiii]

This would have gotten these guys laid back in the 80s.

[FixxxeR208]

and this Damjan guy, is from "Ohër", not "Ohrid"

[unsology]

herman li will be ten times cooler if he'll just play with his face with less expressions,

i mean, he's like being possessed or being electrified or maybe he's epileptic

but he's one of the best ! cool guy

[mirando1990]

What is the title of the song at 00:15 please it s really good

[WhooFlungPoo]

@mirando1990

The rising by killrbuckey. Search it on youtube.  he's got some great shit.

[punkgothrocker]

Herman Li has a shit camera. Can't hear shit. Sounds good though.

[Darknismo1]

awesome 

[deathcore1239]

of an ibanez endorsed competition, 2 judges use ibanez

[23randyl]

I really truely believe Dam jan sounds technically than Herman Li..

[23randyl]

even the the 3rd pick sounds better thatn Herman Li..lol

[LOKOLOKO52]

can anyone tell me why you ppl hate herman li or dragon force they are not that bad...:/

[nightmarealivemetal]

@LOKOLOKO52 they dont really record their solos theyre all computerized if you want to hear a great guitarist listen to wintersun

[bluegang3]

they're all way better than Herman Li -.-

[nightmarealivemetal]

@bluegang3 agreed

[bluegang3]

@nightmarealivemetal finally another person who doesn't think that herman li is awesome

[kkknigerssuck]

@bluegang3 Im with you their he does suck dick

[nightmarealivemetal]

@bluegang3 yea if people want to hear an awesome guitarist jari maenpaa of wintersun is where its at

[bluegang3]

@nightmarealivemetal if you want to see a really good guitar player you should look for guthrie govan ;) he is the pinnacle of human guitar playing

[Kheldim]

herman why cant u play like that LIVE lol... :(

Nice per4mance of all 5

[GuitarPlayer96100]

YEAH WISCONSIN SHREDDERS!!!

[eikik1]

whats the name of the opening track??

[IpodCY]

@eikik1 its 1 of KillrBuckEye's original songs

[VRodGuitar]

@eikik1 - it says it right there at the top right of the video. lol

[ChadAustinWilliams]

I can only wish to be this good...........Lol.

And to those who think Herman Li is a fake, if he is, he is pretty fucking great at faking it.

[stargazer93]

@ChadAustinWilliams Herman isnt fake. DragonForce just got way too famous way too fast.

[ChadAustinWilliams]

@stargazer93 People say he is fake and that he can't really play worth shit. And I dissagree. that's all I'm saying.

[stargazer93]

@ChadAustinWilliams I know. They just got famous at a horrible time when they had technical difficulties and a guitar tech that didnt even tune the instruments.

[Niksa58]

@ChadAustinWilliams No hi is not good at faking it. The strong feeling face is different then the fake one. And yeah check out 12:07

[ChadAustinWilliams]

@Niksa58 Huh.....You do realize that I posted that comment 4 months ago right? Why are you replying to something from 4 months ago? And regardless of what you say, I honestly don't care that much. I don't know you, and nothing you say is going to affect anythin in my life, so lets not try to argue over something so inconvenient. There's no point to it. Besides, your comment doesn't make any sense to me anyways.

[Niksa58]

@ChadAustinWilliams :facepalm: Chill dude, we are not arguing lol, and why shouldn't I reply on a 4 months old post? I was just sayin' he is not good at faking it. He didn't even plug his guitar into the amp. That's sad.

The wise musicians are those who play what they can master, Duke Ellington

[ChadAustinWilliams]

@Niksa58 You can clearly hear the guitar itself. Who cares if he's plugged in? You can hear the strings as he plays along....

[nagmalitongyawa]

@Niksa58 he did not plug his guitar into the amp? I lol'd. Ignorant idiot. Clearly shows that you don't own a guitar.

[thebigboss1212]

All of them are great players. Oh well, time to practice.

[JMartinsATV]

1st place Daniel reminds me of Satriani.

Special Pick Pop Woravit is just like Petrucci.

Congratulations to all of you!

[hxcfull2]

What is the name of songs?

[pksty]

พี่ป๊อป สุดยอด

[oldinfant23]

REALLY CONFUSE OF HIS ACCENT

[Internettroll1]

Wow

[HeaVeNeRq8]

LOL @ the singer at the end... bad tempo xD

[darthshadowxxx]

Yeah I liked 3rd best it sounds like mega man music lol

[gobersiak]

Is Damian, ones from Poland ?

[pecazizitop]

....all very good,Damjan best!

[Dreamdancer11]

All guys were very good players but for me the second guy was absolute coolness and control.He simply had it all and then some.I would put him first and the rest two pretty equal for the other places.

[TheSmallteeth]

5:20 Cool!

[MetaalForever1]

1° é Brasileiro , Daniel Rezende . Good Job man Congracts

[darkforcekiller]

5:38-5:44...Canon Sweeps? Lol it absolutly doesnt fit to the song^^

[yenproject]

jajajaja, the worst

[PersianLord1995]

there's a good reason why marty friedman's younger slightly identical twin shouldnt compete :P

[KoruptMonkey]

fuck.....well i could still play drums.......no i couldnt, just damn

[TrovadorDR]

Let me just pause this video for a second and go throw my guitar away in the trash, be right back. :(

[CTROCK]

the second guy should win!

[bushwalker75]

@CTROCK i agree
