[azureus4]

[xXxSmAsHbOsSxXx]

my favourite part

[PumpkinEscobar405]

nice trivium poster.

[DarkERocker]

@PumpkinEscobar405 ty =)

[112358miau]

LAG guitar¿

[OutNorthrend]

it's not sweep if you alternate

[DarkERocker]

@OutNorthrend Neo Classical Sweep is the title of the song, I am playing the alternate picking part, so no sweeps here. The sweeps are linked in the video at 0:12, they are at 1:50 excactly in the other video ( the intro sweeps not the last sweeps of the song )

[OutNorthrend]

@DarkERocker  ah ok sorry dude

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

@DarkERocker Neo Classical Sweep isn't the name of the song, thats just what the guy on YT called it to get more views.

[DarkERocker]

@JamesHazBeHaiTyme You are true, I did some research and the song is called "Attack Of The Aliens"

But I can see his album isn't really popular, so yeah, they just promoted him doing a demo video, which became much more popular than his original song ( it is his original, but it is now known as Neo Classical Sweep ).

Thanks for making me notice my mistake ;)

[JonathanReichert]

Your tunes would rock more if you plugged in and recorded direct-in, instead of the camera mic. You should grab a pod-xt live. they are cheap, and awesome! and they USB right into your computer for direct sound recording. Fun playing man.

[DarkERocker]

@JonathanReichert I already use a system for recording, the sound for the video wasn't optimal, I got to modify it and get it to sound just right x)

Been a year without vids so you won't see that I guess, I have a video where I use the sound of the camera "Riffs and solos", you clearly hear the difference ;)

[juancacaroto]

suck

[koukku23]

awesome!!! my favourite part of that song. i think that 180 bpm sounds little bit better coz is more melodic and stuff but that is just my opinion

[koukku23]

damn i cant wait to come home from my vocation and try play this song. sadly my guitar is about 500km away :(

[TheCTPP]

have u got any tab of this part?

[yatesey94]

im gettin the same guitar as you but i carnt decide what colour to get (N)

[compositeur666]

this part is the worst of the song ^^ (in my opinion) the melody,just after, is the best part

[bho69]

my fav part

[amidfallen]

its alternate, thats not sweeps,

[dashfront21]

good job dude. little messy here and there, but better than i can do :)

[RodriguBianki]

why don't you try to tapping it ? i actually think it's easyer tapping.. =)

[dorianpod77]

good m8,keep practicing..this is my favourite part and the easiest to play....

[pzyasaben]

easy, wrong

[reincarnage256]

wow this is my fave part to

[kai223noa]

Nice playing, wish I could play even at the slow speed.

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^

Practice makes perfect ;)

[partynaked11]

lol, yea but when people type in (Gentaro satomura neo classical sweep), they expect to see a neo classical sweep lol..... understand?

[DarkERocker]

Yeah I get it, I'll modifie a part of the title to make it clearer x)

But in the video there is a link where I actually do the sweeping intro of the song xP

[partynaked11]

well dude, of course when people see a video titled, (NEO CLASSICAL SWEEP), there gona assume there is a little bid of sweeping involved in the video, maybe u should just be a little more specific with ur videos dude!!! jus a suggestion....

[DarkERocker]

Yeah, you're right xD

I'm gonna fix that now ..

Even if everything is told in the description lol

( I always check out the description when I look a vid )

[partynaked11]

dude ur jus playin a pedal point around an arpeggio, ur not even sweepin dude, gets ur stuff straight man!!

[DarkERocker]

who said I was sweeping ?

Neo Classical sweep is the title of the song ...

[rreloge]

hehe:D

this is fast:D

and this is sweep:D

nice one...

[DarkERocker]

Thanks =)

And this is alternate picking ^^

[rreloge]

that was my point...

why do you say it's fast sweep, if it's slow alternate picking...

[DarkERocker]

I never said that ...

If you read the description you see what I actually said ...

And on the vid I said slow, fast to actually say when it's slower than the actuall tempo and fast when it's at the actuall tempo =)

"Neo Classical sweep" is the title from the original song of Gentaro Satomura, I didn't mean that I played a sweep...

[SilentCivilian0123]

Thats not even sweeping you dumbass!!!

[DarkERocker]

Who said that ?

1st this is the title of the song and 2nd read the description =)

[SilentCivilian0123]

it pops up on the vid and says "This is sweep picking here" and points at you ALTERNATE PICKING!.........dumbass

[DarkERocker]

No need to insult ...

By the way, what pops up is a link to the actuall sweep picking intro of to the song ...

Of course it's not the fist thing I'll be playing in this other video, but it's in there ;)

Didn't want it to point at me, my bad .. but you shouldn't be insulting me for that ...

[kzundiverus]

XD You suck.

[Abeuss]

i love playing that part! really fun alt. picking.. good job..

[Graysonsoares]

whr can i get tabs for this track?

[PeetD]

check on 911tabs (dot) com

[Mymadness88]

that part is easy

[regeky]

ahh its an UK guitar brand okay! how much is that one??

[DarkERocker]

That one is around 700 - 750 euros

I'd say it's a pretty good guitar :]

[josephvincentguitar]

What kind of guitar is this?

[DarkERocker]

It's a LAG guitar

[EddieTh3Ead]

It's called Arrow of Time. But great job very cool song and nice cover.

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^

I just checked out arrow of time and it's also a good song, the part I covered is from neo classical sweep, I don't know if there is any other name for this song but I'm pretty shure their isn't

[minib32]

where did you get the backing track from dude?

[DarkERocker]

I made it myself ^^'

[minib32]

how did you do the drums? yourself?

[DarkERocker]

I used the guitar pro drums and made it a .midi file in the mix with the guitars

[adobeadobekimo]

fake  = =

[DylanKershawStudios]

Why would it be fake, it's the easiest part of the song! the rest of it is bloody difficult.

[minib32]

he hits a bum note when sped up, does gentaro?

[BujinCarl]

I use tapping to play that, looks cooler imo, tho i agree it sounds more "right" like this

[chinoxdark]

nice the only thing i got are the sweeps that it lol and i nid to practice them i get confuse

[WhatANiceForum]

Where'd you get the backing track?

[DarkERocker]

I made it myself

[somegeek33]

Check out my cover of Syu's demonstration if you so wish. My only regret about it is that I only have my phone to record it with, but i used the backing guitar pro track to play with instead of the actual song so u can hear me playing better.

[DarkERocker]

Yeah I already checked it out, and that was some good playing, the thing that I find too bad is that we can barely hear you playing.

[somegeek33]

yeah all i have to record my playing with is my phone atm -_- its pretty good quality on my phone but as soon as i upload it then it goes to shit. Oh wells.

[DarkERocker]

Yeah that kind of sucks :s

I used to upload with my phone the time ( my first vids with short hair xD )

Well hopefully you'll get to have a camera or a good webcam, then you'll be able to record HD :D

[somegeek33]

Yeah after practicing this for 2 days I can almost play the whole thing, just need to refine it. the gap from about 190-195bpm to 210 is a bit jump.

[DarkERocker]

yeah, at 210 it's a pain xD

I remember learning the song and playing it correctly at the right speed some months ago, but now I'm gonna concentrate on the very fast parts lol

So keep practicing, and maybe post a cover soon ;)

[somegeek33]

lame, seemed like u were struggling too

[DarkERocker]

well, I wasn't struggling and I personnaly don't think that this video is lame, it's a one year old video so I played for like 1.5 years.

Instead of hating or saying that others suck, you could try to help or say what could be improved.

I just think that between guitarists we shouldn't say you suck, but try to support each other, at least I will never say that an other guitarist is lame, I'd just try to help him out for him to improve and learn from his own mistakes.

[somegeek33]

well fair enough i can play this whole demonstration and i know this part is somewhat more tricky then what it seems. I am 19 and i have only played for just over 2 years and i can shred quite fast. I guess i just play more in a day? But personally i think you should try for the 210bpm that its played at next! I shall tip my hat to you if you can do so i guess

[DarkERocker]

Well I practiced this for quite a while but the shredding in here is possible and so are the sweeps, but I have some problems for the very fast shred, I think you know which ones I'm talking about, I'm kind of stuck at a decent speed around 160 bpm ( quads ) but I have a hard time to go up to 200 bpm, I'm just gonna practice speed for some time, and I'll see how it goes lol I used to play 7h a day but with school and all I haven't got to play much actually ..

[robsilvertv]

Is that a LAG ARKANE?? Sweet! play LAG ROXANEs

[LordLayAlotTK]

It's not really sweeping though is it? You're picking every note.

[DarkERocker]

no it's not sweeping, it's just the name of the song, and I'm playing a part of it ^^

[bucketfan4life]

That was really good. :) Well done, and that part is harder than some people think. It's odd that the seemingly simple parts can be some of the hardest... but great job! 5* and check out my FULL cover. :)

[dragonmancse]

hey, you rock!

could you send me the tabs (or the link for the tabs)

THX!

[DarkERocker]

thanks ^^

The link is in the video ;)

[dragonmancse]

lol thx

[jonathanbenaroche]

how did you get the playback?

[DarkERocker]

I made it myself ^^

Just recorded the same parts from the tab, even tho the chords aren't exactly right, but I recorded this a while ago..

[RikoGuitar4Life]

very nice cover, when i recorded this part i'll upload on my channel :)

[edgarrg94]

You suck, that is the most easy part, learn all and then upload to youtube.

[braveliltosta69]

STFU dude at least hes trying and who cares if hes not amazing hes still good

[DarkERocker]

- tabs are in description box -

[ProphetTheClown]

If someone need tabs-pm me)))

[Trinitrotoluenador]

hey man why dont u give us the tabs for this song?? would be nice :P

[Guitargod696]

hey dude u have tabs for that part? i love that part to

[dracostein]

man u have gigantic hands....btw nice skillz....

[FuryoftheSound]

That's only part most people can play. The rest is untouchable.

[wagushi1]

oh yeah why not lets play the easiest part of the piece!

btw work on your tempo

[kai223noa]

Think you can do better, post your video

[wagushi1]

fuck you

[Wizeman3131]

Then post the fucking video of you doing it you little cunt.

[wagushi1]

why? do I owe you all something?! I know I can play it, i dont need to prove you anything.

[m1000black]

dude very bad ass man. that is awsome!!!

Thumbs up DUDe

[dhakagod]

awsome buddy....can u play the whole thing ? would love to see and hear it..

[sepisepsep]

where'd you get the backing track?

[DarkERocker]

I created it with my multi effect

[Norther219]

ok, now try that same part only with a few more notes that's sweeped at 3:00 to 3:30

[followthereaper12345]

your pick is backwards.

if you see any guitarist that doesn't have disgustingly ugly technique, you would notice that the pick is held with the opposite angle.

especially gentaro

[KrankItVZ]

speaking about weird picking style... marty...

[jongpilyun]

Shawn Lane holds held his pick on a reversed angle, and he was probably the fastest and cleanest alt picker ever.

[cheolmey]

dude very nice! i love this song! and what kind of guitar is that?

[shredftw]

doesn't look like you're sweeping, I mean it sounds great, good job! but are you sure you sweep'd it?

[DarkERocker]

No it's a string skipping lick, it's just from the song neo classical sweep from Gentaro Satomura, but it's a little part from the song, the rest is some extreme alternative picking and sweeping xD Thanks for the comment ^^'

[Yigo91193]

dude ur awesome but by teh way its not called "string skipping" their arpeggios

[yankees01923]

dude were u like me and heard this and was like ' i gotta learn that' . and then it was mad tricky at first but then once u get the pattern its easy

[DarkERocker]

Yeah it's kinda tricky at first but the only thing is to get used to the string skipping pattern, after that it's much easier x)

And yeah, when I heard that I also wanted to learn it ^^'

[dark0guy]

you got tabs for that??

[DarkERocker]

For tabs go at ultimate guitar and type neo-classical in the "song names" search bar

you should find [Misc Unsigned Bands] Gentaro Satomura - Neo-classical

[Leeches93]

please, tell me where you got the tabs for this cause I want to learn it at real speed. I already got the intro perfect but I need tabs for the rest ^^

[DarkERocker]

I get all my tabs a ultimate guitar

[sk8ordie97]

3 stars

would have been 5 but the fast one was sloppy and you listen to trivium

[JartsUU]

u prob listen too cuz u know that ascendacy is triviums album

[sk8ordie97]

dude everyone knows that.

i havent listened to trivium since like 8th grade that was years ago

[XxazidxX]

your guitar's color is cool its like some lava red

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^'

that's on the video, it's actually orange x)

[xliberito]

ke feo tocas....ohhh thats to baadd!!

[XGuitarGodDanX]

LAG are french guitars aren't they?

[DarkERocker]

I think they are but I'm not shure x)

thanks for your three comments, and for the riffs video, yeah I'll incorporate those riffs into an original song ^^'

I'm actually working on originals and I'll probably upload some in some weeks :D

[XGuitarGodDanX]

Yeah it's cool, your good by the way :P

[d4rkg]

nice try bro... keep rocking... thats the real way to be a pro... congrats, and nice guitar, js?... see u

[DarkERocker]

Thanks man, I apreaciate it x)

It's a lag ;)

[mattwildchild]

its ok but this is not called sweep but pedal note

[DarkERocker]

Yeah I know, it's the string skipping part of the song, I'll uplaod the sweep later x)

Thanks for the comment ^^'

[hosaj]

tune your fucking guitar. jesus

[brittanymetal]

Dude that's awesome!!! Are you playin a JS Series Ibanez?

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^'

I'm playing a " Lag Arkane Standard 200 Flamed - AF200 Amber "

[Synystersyn1]

PLease , is there another way for backing tracks?

[DarkERocker]

well for the drums no.. but for the guitar just play the rythm yourself or export it as .midi, but you can only make it work if you have a mixing software ( sonar, pro track plus etc .. ), tell me your gear or software to see if there is an other method.

[blueredfred2]

that was awesome man!! can you send me the drum track that you made in guitar pro for that?

[DarkERocker]

you can find the guitar pro at ultimate guitar, then export the drum part in a .midi file, and here it is lol

[farinhaguitarrista]

awsome ^^ also love to play this xD its one of the few things i can play at full speed on the whole neo classical sweep of gentaro lol ^^ btw nice guitar xD love it :P

[DarkERocker]

thanks you ^^

I'm glad you like it :D

[stefanopunkskate]

lol...nice....you know...i can do the whole song...i just learnt it like 2 weeks ago...sooner i will upload a vid of my cover....anyways great...keep practicing!!!

[rewkn4u]

where did you get the backing track???

[DarkERocker]

I made the backing track with guitar pro 5 drums and with my guitar

[rewkn4u]

fair enough, it sounds awesome by the way

[gtrdrivn]

prety bad ass dude can you tell me where you got the tabs

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^

I got the tabs on Ultimate Guitar, it's a guitar pro file ;)

[GuitarRam1993]

awesome!

like your guitar ;d

[DarkERocker]

thanks :D

[ZadrockOfficial]

Hmmm there's something really wrong with your background powerchords. First one's an E then a C# but between these you have to play a B. Then go down C# - B - A and finally A - E - A - B

It'll sound more correct ;)

[DarkERocker]

I just took the guitar pro power chords so I might have to listen to the actual song xD

Thanks for the correction ;)

[megro89]

It could be your intonation that is the problem with the tuning.

[DarkERocker]

What do you mean by intonation ?

what should I change ?

[SAINTsoldi]

nice keep rocking, watch my version tho

[willyxc4]

thsi is my favorite part of the solo dude!

and u make it excellent!

[DarkERocker]

thanks :D

[catwoman666hiyt]

whee can i get the song? and just the background music?

[DarkERocker]

You can make the background music with the ultimate guitar tabs, take the drums and put them into .midi and record your other guitar ;)

you can dl any youtube vids with "realplayer" and convert them into mp3 with "Super c"

[Phoenygzus]

Its definietly him playing;) The only thing, I would recommend is to tune up:P Other that that it was quite right:)

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^

But I recorded every guitar, the drums are .midi so everything you hear is me playing so why would I tune up ?

Thanks again for your comment ;)

[Phoenygzus]

I meant that your guitar is not tuned properly - only IMO, my ears can fool me:)

[DarkERocker]

xD ok ^^

I think my guitar was in tune, I alway check if I'm in tune before playing

[deanneugebauer]

Very nice, I just got done learning some of this song today. You should cover the 5 string and 3 string arpeggio parts.

[DarkERocker]

Thanks ^^

I want to but first I need to practice a lot ^^

[raibin]

Nice cover do you have the tabs?

[DarkERocker]

You can find the tabs on ultimate guitar ;)

[urablast]

no he actually is playing it! i know. hard to explain it though. the tone is not so equlized and the frequency is fluatuating at times, this means ( u suck = no), this means it's original playing! and u are not using expansive gear like the pros! u are good! try to learn before you speak guys!

[DarkERocker]

Thanks, I apreciate your comment :)

[urablast]

:) i can't stand ppl who come in saying BS and don't know anything about stuff! being an azn, they pissed at Gentaro jsut or that is plainly racist as well! they better learn. they say this instrumental song is boring. it includes many tasty stuff 3-string sweep, 5-string sweep, string skipping, many many more.

[chrisguitarplayer]

this is normaly a sweeping dude!

[DarkERocker]

I'm doing the string skipping part of the song

[Joshguitar8442]

Your still a little rough but it's coming. I was expecting the sweeps though. There were just individual pickings in this video.

[numba1drycellfan]

ok... thats so not you playin cause i here drums and bass

[DarkERocker]

The other guitar was recorded independently and the drums are midi, Then I just put the audio and video together, what are my not playing ?

[urablast]

U suck bro! u dont' really know music! you just don't know what you are talking about! be logical in every word you speak! dont' be some cocky kid!

[numba1drycellfan]

wow the maker of this video already told me how he is actually playin its just that he added the drums and bass to the solo... wow you never really look at the comments that reply to me do you?

[Vodd9]

You need to practice it SLOWER than 180 bpm, first.

[razoredv]

k thanks my dad still his acount on i forgot to log in
