Chris Feener Scar Symmetry Ghost Prototype 1 Solo

[MyNameIsChaseThomas]

HOLY SHIT! HE DOES LOOK LIKE JAMES HETFIELD.

[072748023]

Chris, dude, you ripped up this solo.

I also want to try it out so much, it's killing me, the only thing is that i only have a six string ESP (Can't afford a new guitar)

Do you think i'll be able to play it with only six strings?

[072748023]

wait doesn't James Hetfield suck at guitar?

[VegasPoker]

it was so good that not only my face melted, but my whole body

i am now just a puddle

[MasiukA]

that was so sick dude

[TheDeepsal]

@Chrisfeener i am curious chris how did you came to know about what escapes me

i saw that you commented on their page that you loved maze of mutual Apocalypse how come they caught your attention they are one of my favorite Indian metal bands

and is your mh-1000 the fixed bridge variant or the fr variant thanks to you i came to know about mh-1000 and now i have serious gas for it :D

[TheDeepsal]

which esp guitar is this?

[ChrisFeener]

@TheDeepsal It's an ESP Ibanez K-7... ;)

[barneycockburn]

Pod XT? You get some killer tones. Do you use Big Bottom and V-30s?

[ChrisFeener]

@barneycockburn Green 25's!

[kalmahman48]

ok, thank you for making the rhythm guitar so pronounced, it makes the solo sound so much better

[GrotesqueShot]

jeeze dude amazing job.. i respect your guitar playing

[paulhunt86]

6 people who have viewed this are idiots.

[bookieboy79]

Awesome mate. Duly subscribed as well. I think Per Nilsson is one of the best lead players Ive heard in a good while. His phrasing is unreal and his playing is so effortless and fluid. You did that solo justice mate!

[LordBelial2008]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[marleysheredder]

wow this is good I liked it =)

[metalassdave]

he's so good it makes want to cry

[LucianHHH]

@chrisfeener you got any of your own tracks on sale anywhere dude?

[Marsell88]

how did you get that sound with a K7? great work!!!

[filipi346]

hey chris, how do you record your stuff?

[hanscool26]

you're playing style like John petrucci, it's Awesome dude , clean and clear.. very smooth

[Monochrome666]

Incredibly good, bud. There're a few people who can pull this solo off but I have to admit, even tho a person might not enjoy the solo, gotta admire your technique and clean playing. Way to go!

[flyingsquirrel73]

Fucking awesome bro!!!...wish i could learn stuff like that by ear...wow-

[cleavers48]

That was perfect!! Awesome man, totally fucking awesome!

[patrickb421]

well you have one new subcriber my friend

[CukuSk8]

Do you use some program to turn down the speed of the song?

[skateflip132]

subd

[a0226]

You nailed this one! Love your vibratos!!! \m/

[GameKid98]

Is this James Hetfields official channel?

[iorch82]

This has to be one of the greatest solos of all the time. What an incredible collection of jaw-dropping licks, sweeps, chromatics runs, an legatos.

This solo should be studied on all guitar schools, seriously.

[joelhume]

who could possiblty vote dislike to this?

[CobHatecrewNor]

Perfect dude. Wich amp did you use here? Still trying to find a perfect EQ for my ibanez and caparison guitars. Im using a Peavey 6505 (no, i did not use it in my Low quality videos at YT)

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Do you happen to have the backing track for the first solo of Artificial Sun Projection?

^-^

[barbinhadicabra]

pause at 0:09 . is he James Hetfield's clone?

[theblackpacomurder]

dude you should post the guitar tab, the backing track file and a review of your gear

[metalassdave]

cleanest rendition on youtube

[theo1234ist]

dam dude you sound good look at my band its under(my prototype band) thanks

[shreddah69]

how do you make your drumtracks?

[EchelonIV]

That was very good. :)

[Liveleadplayer70]

mate you would frighten the top metal bands...imo....you are the future of metal...do your own thing/own band...an then come to Australia....technical in spades but i reckon ya got feel too man..rare as...\m/..P.S...dont fuck ya talent with too much piss n drugs..staunch new fan!!

[SweeetLoo]

your right hand is just insane!! respect

[SweeetLoo]

your right hsnd is just insane!! respect

[slashstu]

My only qualm with it is the lack of the pinched harmonic at 18-19 seconds in

[slashstu]

Dude that was badass

[spaz0matic69]

Is that an Opeth shirt I see? Or am I just terribly wrong? Anyways, amazing job. Definitely subbing.

[gloryamen325]

does anyone think he looks a little like james hetfield?

[joshherbert1]

Dude, you are amazing!! Send demos to the top metal bands, one of them has gotta hire you!! (if they're smart!). Love the Opeth shirt, and the Ibanez guitar! ...

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Where can i learn to alternate pick? Not sure i'm doing it right, i can do it fine descending, but i can't alternate pick ascending. It's frusterating T.t

[threadbreak]

Brilliant job man! . .Could you tell wot plectrum/s you using?

[threadbreak]

Brilliant Job Man! btw, wot plectrum are you using here?!

[threadbreak]

friggin brilliant man! Could you pls tell me wot plectrum are you using?!

[Hezus3Christo]

this is one amazing solo!

[nojyeloot]

wow... perfect man! spot on bro!!!

[GUITAR34578]

Where did get your tabs?

[ChrisFeener]

@GUITAR34578 I learned this one by ear.

[Ghowst72]

@ChrisFeener

You are a badass dude. I been watching you kill the weak since you put up that Tornado of Souls vid.

Rock on!

[guitarshredder47]

after the sweep u look relieved that thats over lol 5/5

[assfuck37]

D:,!? AMAZING

[CukuSk8]

All bye ear? :S NICE!!!

[Painkiller86]

There's no way this video only has 11,000 views.  And I know that because I personally have viewed it 38,256 times.

[filipi346]

haha, yeah, i have viewed this video a lot of times too, this guy simply rocks

[xxguitardude93xx]

damn, i didnt know Hetfield was so good

[pelosmaster]

all i can say is holy fuck. Man you're awesome.

[Billerd21]

you can do anything can't you.

[7thGuitarMan]

Excellent!!!

[nansax0721]

ya creciste mounstrico de la guitarra !!!!

[malscott]

hey!, your good :)

[LucaRRPS]

best! ( :

[Andrexthor]

I like the way you lay it better. Great cover.

[TbontSTV]

holy fuck , some clean shit

[SystemOfALeo]

wow man youre a genius!

[xPLDxPunisher]

I just realized, you look like james hetfield in this video. :P Awesome cover.

[Painkiller86]

I noticed that you are soloing with your selector on the neck pickup, do you usually prefer this? Less noise perhaps?

[KYamada416]

shredders usually play on the neck pickup. it gives that fulttering sound

[Painkiller86]

Thank you for introducing me to this band, I had no idea who they were until I saw your cover! Who are your other favorite bands? I need more good music like this in my life.

[Erakko93]

amazing 5 stars!

[VeikkoHempalainen]

fuggin awesome dude!! you rock!!

SCAR SYMMERTY FOREVER!!!!

[hgfbjrn]

can i get tab?

[mycheat878]

i love this song, and you fuckin nailed it! :D

[bannaboard]

wow you look like james from metallica

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I don't know why you always seem to put yourself down. Your playing amazes me every time. Definitely doesn't look like the hardest thing I've seen you play though. No way. Sweet phrasing here though.

[monkeyskins666]

i don't know how to sweep pick, i tried and i get confused as hell, but do you ever get confused when you try learning those really fast parts like that?

[MetalMGH]

A lot of creative license from the original, but still absolutely spectacularly played man, and more importantly perfectly captures the feel of the original despite the note disparities IMO - 5 stars without a doubt! \m/

[endoftheline9]

Missed the harmonic at 0:17, but otherwise pretty spot on. Lower the track a bit, the drums are too loud. Very, very good though!

[spray32]

whoa chris you became james hetfield xD

[MetalHeadMat666]

Honestly, I find it a lot better then the original.

[Bloodyreturn]

In february 24th, 2010, It will be exactly one year that I have played guitar (you know... picked up and practiced.... but I've had the thing for almost 2).

Would you recommend actually trying to take the solo by ear..... and do you think I could nail it in a week.....if I practice say... one hour a day?

and how would the sound go on a fender quire ele. guitar?

Oh, and I've faved this vid awhile back, you rock man!!!

and, do you know the tuning for this song?

I think its either drop c or d .

[keyser66guitarist]

Fucking incredible man. Nice job

[matt22mccarthy]

When did you start playing guitar?

[ebryde]

I just listened to the original and man.. yours is even better...

[blizzardvekic]

i dont want to blacken him but his isnt better :)

he added palm mutes on those chromatic parts,for me it sounds better on the record-without pm.and last tapping part is more or less improvising,nothing bad with cover tho.

[Alexkvx10]

well neither are "better", it just depends on what peoples preferences are.

[blizzardvekic]

i just prefer the "right" way.if it's was played without palm mute on the record then i would play it without palm mute :)

[blizzardvekic]

how do you get that backing track?you recorded it by yourself or?

[ChrisFeener]

I made it. If you'd like me to send it, let me know!

[blizzardvekic]

yeah send me a pm pls :P

im getting into scar symmetry solos :D

[Shredsomemore]

Chris, you have the fatest vibrato on YT man. I think I'm gonna cry... How do you practice it?

[hiladelphia]

@ChrisFeener Hey man please send me ur backing track, I'm a big fan of Scar symmetry and I cant find decent covers and this one.. DAMN actually someone good who also makes backing tracks, Well u got a subscription..

[allhailpantera123]

@ChrisFeener I would really appreciate it if you were to send me that. Very well done backing track, and I'm amazed at your playing as usual. I don't think I'll ever pull this off that well, this solo makes me shit myself (not literally).

[skycaptain141]

@ChrisFeener Mr. Feener how do you gain speed i have been trying but i dont know how. You playing is so fluent and well really inspiring. could you send me the backing track to this song as well and answer my question when you get the chance.

[kalmahman48]

@blizzardvekic i agree one of the best backing tracks to fit this solo!

[jordanzio]

christ son you can play!

[raymond0276]

well you scald the ass off that one! i want a tab! lol

[Martinbak1]

Nailed man! Great job!!

[AlexiIbanez]

jesus titty fucking christ! O_O

[MrSandman004]

Ack! Such a good solo i defintely will check those guys out. But whats your guitar mate? almost looks like a prestige. 7 string no?

Fantastic playing and sound!. ugh...

[SpikyPeahorn]

K7. Korn signature

[MetalHeadMat666]

Ibanez K-7, originally created by James "Munky" Shaffer (who made the "Firespark Blue" model) and Brian "Head" Welch (who made the "Blade Gray" model, which is what sir Chris is playing).

[MetalHeadMat666]

Also, they were discontinued in 2006 (original production started 2001).

[zenabi12]

sick!!! the solo reminds me of Michael Romeo..

[Jkv2666]

is it just me...or does this guy really looks like hetfield

[fumancha]

hahah your right!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

woooah, ur right

[dkjw14]

dude is that a 7-string? its awesome!!!!!

[fumancha]

yep, it is a K7 from korn

[imxthexonlyxAaron]

KICK ASS

[HighGain510]

Whoa just caught this cover Chris, FANTASTIC job! Ghost Prototype is one of my favorite Scar Symmetry songs and you nailed it bro! \m/

[g3rman045]

you never sease to amaze me

[jimberg17]

rediculously awesome solo cover man.. Per's style is very much to my liking.. i pretty much can play the whole solo except that last tapping part.. is there any advice you could share or tablature you could let me look at??.. i can give you my e-mail address if that would be easiest for you.. i would really appreciate it man.. thanx again for covering a great guitarist!

[joelhume]

Sick playing as always and this song and solo are amazing, all guitar fans should go and buy holographic universe seriously one of the best prog metal albums of all time!

[bashmentbwoy7]

great job man, i don't kno the song but it sounds good. what kind of pick-ups do you use?

[EyekilL951]

i mean, your pretty could, but i would be better if i also had an invisible 6th finger.

[filipi346]

man, are you from this world?

[orionmachine]

Holy shitballs man, that was very well done!

[AndrewKapper23]

You fucking nailed that dude!

[guitaristmikeburt]

this is truly an inspiration for me ..... undoubtedly one of the best solos EVER!

[Hintz6]

You're so sick dude

[fhatsk8er]

I've never really listened to Scar Symmetry before, but after watching your video, I wanna go buy Holographic Universe lol. Amazing playing 5/5

[Alexkvx10]

flawless,

Scar Symmetry are a great band.

Hm is that a Blackwater Park T-shirt?

[Alexkvx10]

Oh nvm , comments say it is :D

[ChrisFeener]

Yes sir!

Thanks!

[Alexkvx10]

what amp model do you use on the pod xt Chris, much apprectiated, if you could tell me :P.

Check out my videos sometime.

[ChrisFeener]

In this video, and pretty much any other video/audio of me using a PODxt is with the M Angel P-Ball Amp through a Green 25's cab. I then run it through an FX Boost+EQ stomp with a touch of stereo delay for the leads. Equalize according to your guitar!

[ToXin88]

Yes this is definitely the young Hetfield with short hair ;)

The only difference is that Hetfield plays way worse.

[billanole]

Lol, I'm not even surprised at your greatness anymore. Excellent job. As always.

[gakuh721]

yeah !! great tone man !!! 5 stars !!!!!!

[shredftw]

Dude you look like James Hetfield

[jimberg17]

that was awesome man.. the ending tap section gets me every time.. very well done!

[kylmetalmaster]

awesome

[Psyknallen]

Great song, awesome solo and excellent playing!

You kinda look like James Hetfield too! :)

[metalphilic]

You never fail to impress, Chris. 5 stars! :P

[SteeveBrunoQc]

kick ass!

[endlessfuneral]

SHRED

[BullsharkPresents]

Wicked dude. Awesome job.

[Painkiller86]

Wow! Amazing sound + playing Chris. What is your gear and setup for this vid? Wait don't tell me...Guitar Rig 3 + Samplitude...right?

[asphyXxXia]

Fucking rad.

[Gorack1313]

SOOOO fucking Envious lmao They are my 2nd favorite band and I wish I had a 7 string so I could get a shot at playing this amazing song/solo. You like fucking nailed it bro.

[r41w0lvl9]

That was beautiful man... Nice playing, congratulations

[IPawnNoobs]

What tuning is this song in ?

[ChrisFeener]

Standard 7 string - BEADGBE.

[fuzzykins94]

Going a little John Petrucci on us! Getting buff and cutting off your hair!

Great job, as with all of your videos.

[diabeticmonkey]

What makes it hard is all the changes and string skips.

[Tenoxdaman]

Sick cover man. Scar Symmetry is such an awesome band, would love to see you do more covers on 'em!

[marchino1982rsm]

K-7 Head guitar from Korn!!!!!!

[Scalibq]

Great work!

What makes you say this is such a difficult solo though?

It's by no means easy, but compared to the other videos you've done, this doesn't seem to stand out as extremely fast or technically challenging. Perhaps I'm missing something though, I never tried to play any of them :)

[Greenwithevil]

i never knew hetfield was as good as chris feener!

[JoeythePope]

Thats some true NL talent right there!

[nyy4life313]

That was awesome!  Can you play Triumph by Fire solo by Exmortus that would be so cool!

[Badfish228]

Ho...ly....shit. That was....INSANE! to say the least!

Diggin' the hetfield look =P

[Musicman61554]

Badass as always man.

[FrAnKShErDs]

OMFG!

[MetalChild96]

chris you're amazing!!!!!!!!!! and isn't that a blackwater park t.shirt? :P

[ChrisFeener]

Thanks dude!

Hell yes it is! \m/

[raist173]

Hey chris if you read this check out my favorites list for some good ideas on shit to play, i am compiling a list of beast guitar songs and such!

great job here i am always checking up on you to see what you have come up with lately :)

soon you'll be able to hear some of my stuff, when i get around to crackin out some vids

[xdoomxwizardx]

chris feener = beast. all those who deny this simple truth obviously live in a cave

[LFLivramento]

Truly amazing! It´s an extremely difficult solo to execute, and you did it almost perfectly. Congrats, Chris Feener.

You deserve to go far in the music business. My best wishes to you!! Keep rocking!!!!

[innhoster]

When did Hetfield start using Ibanez? lol

just messin. Kickass job there.

[ChrisFeener]

Alright these Hetfield jokes are starting to fucking piss me off.

hahah.

Not really.

Thanks dude!

[EyekilL951]

why are you so good!?! im gonna favorite the shit out of this!

[Ravenhunt]

u shall try to spend most or at least a good part of your time practicing, and maybe, u'll reach that technical level...craftin and composition is another story..this guy has something genius in his work, sometimes..

[Sheko1]

you always put me on my place!!!! really really amasing!! im a big fan now!

[AraGuitar]

you kind of look like hetfield here :P your technique is amazing as always :D

[SickweeD666]

WOW man congratulations your execution is awesome!!!

you still have some notes to correct but anyways this is amazing

[PetrucciFan57]

Dude, was that perfect? I didn't hear a single mistake, one of your best covers ever.

[123method]

That was sooo excellent

[syntheticalnothing]

Chris, I don't hear or see any mistakes, but I'm not that educated with the song. But fuck me, that was an absolutely savage cover of it.

[KYamada416]

oh maannnn tabs plzzzzzzzzzzz

[jashobbsie]
