  • Lol at his ridiculous Asian/British accent

  • bad orrible!

  • Herman li in guitar is like Nixon in politics

  • that's a hammer

  • Damn, sounds like Kirk Hammett without WahWah

  • @ltq19900310 lol

  • cool ibanez. is that spalted maple?

  • lmao herman lee u fucking suck, u cant even play your own song you had to learn it

  • 1:40 - 2:00 best part.

  • i think it is called sweep not shred...??

  • entre dos aguas, shred for real men

  • I want to scalp him and wear it

  • His fingers are too small !!!

  • Seriously ive nothing against herman li and dragonforce. But in this video, be it 4 yo, 10 yo... At this point, his playing has no balls. Havn heard of dragonforce that much but this instructional vid is a no-no. When u solo, you can do it at really fast speed but u cant do it properly at slow speed, there is somethin really wrong with ur playing... Something is really not right somewhere and its a very serious problem.

  • @indrajem7vwh are you speaking english? he is saying you have to practice slowly.

  • herman li is amazing, great and the best guitarists. It is one of my idols

  • @OwtWorld360 Try English lol

  • He can't play the guitar, thrust me guys.

  • He doesn't even play it clean...

  • To all the Dragonforce haters:

    Dragonforce is not the world's worst band, and yes, some people actually do like them. Get over it.

    To all the Dragonforce fanatics:

    Dragonforce is not the world's best band, and some people (myself included), do not like them. Don't get all pissy for a difference in opinion.

    Now on to what actually matters. That guitar is fucking amazing. I've had one for a few months now, and it is probably the best guitar I've played on.

  • yeah ive seen them live 3 times so far and they kicked ass just because the had one bad performance doesnt mean every one of there performances were shit

  • Don't let me laugh xD You don't know what idiots they are. Have you seen that game-sound-noise video? Seriously, it's bullshit. And the only thing Herman Li does is so called ''schredding'' and ''sweeping'' and being kind of an idiot. It would be better if you just listened to bands like ''Gojira'' and ''Animals as leaders''.

  • @TheWezel1995 maybe they are blind.he plays dirty

  • all the haters are just jealous. they dont want to face the fact that herman li is better than the bullshit guitarist they listen to

  • @xjohnx19x lol....yeah thats def wat it is.... have u ever heard them live??? XD haha! wut a fuckin joke! XD hahaha!

  • @xjohnx19x Try listening to John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert instead of this douche bag

  • @AhmadNadar1993 i love paul gilbert but i like herman li its my opinion

  • Great video!! Makes sweeping easy--

  • my friend put a dragonforce cd on in his car, and dont get me wrong im a guitarist, but every single song made me laugh because their all exactly the same! haha i couldnt help thinking of it as like a soundtrack for a bad video game or something hahhaa

  • absolute professional. makes it look easy. awesome live despite all the commotion. herman is a supremo. one of my biggest influences in guitar playing and dragonforce are among one of my favourite bands. say what you want haters, but you're all a waste of not-so-potential talent anyway if you're spending you're days trolling youtube. you want to prove a point...get better than herman, dont troll.

    herman is way up there with the likes of jeff loomis and paul gilbert. dont care what haters say.

  • @darkshredder951 No he's not. Any of the Megadeth guitarists are better than him. For instance Chris Broderick is so much better and so is Dave Mustaine. Joe Satriani is better than him and maybe Steve Vai. And just to finish it all of, Eddie Van Halen probably is to. I'm a hater yes, but only of improper and fake guitarists.

  • @uk5679 again dude, opinion. and i think he is. he is self taught and in my eyes (and many others) he is awesome and our opinions are just as creditable as your's. i said he was up there, but i never said he was technically BETTER. but seriously, he is among the circle of shredders that the people look up to. yes he may be sloppy at times, but he is creative and innovative, and he is always developing. there is no pinnacle for any guitarist inc. herman's skill.

    PS. this video is 4 YEARS OLD.

  • @darkshredder951 and even though the likes of paul gilbert, eddie van halen, joe satriani and maybe even steve vai (and, if you're a real hater then even jeff hanneman may scratch it) are better than him technically, i still prefer herman because of his style and influence he has on my own playing.

    to say herman is IMPROPER AND FAKE.. seriously, just because you dont like his style, doesn't mean he's fake. he is perfectly legit. dude you need to take a look at herman these days. he's FAR better.

  • @darkshredder951 PS. please dont bullshit about why he is fake. all you'd be doing is jumping on the bandwagon of a bunch of disproved 6-7 year old rumours. i cant believe people still buy that shit about dragonforce. its OLD and they need to get over it and starting thinking for themselves.

  • @darkshredder951 how much pay you to say bullshit all the time?are you blind?this guy playsdirty

  • "If you have a girlfriend, she's gonna hate you."

    LMAO!

  • hes got a british accent but didnt totally lose the Chinese accent XD

  • shred session ???

  • sam totman > herman li

  • Like A SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEBBBOOODDEEEEE!!!!!

  • @Pharisize Kudos to you. That made me laugh.

  • Herman Li is not fake, He is made in china.

  • @adlanguitarist LOL! But he is made in Hong Kong

  • @MrSupimpa2000 Hong Kong is in China >.>

  • @adlanguitarist lmao

  • I mean really slow! If you have a girlfriend she's going to hate you lol

  • @coffeex32 pretty much sums himself up.

  • @coffeex32 still faster than i can do it though lol suprisingly i dont have gf now

  • Took me 2 weeks to learn this.

    Now I realized I can't really use it in anything. I can just make a lot of noise. But anyways, this was helpful.

  • Rather sloppy...

  • you are doing it too fast  i,m not that good

  • If you think you are good at something, just think.. There's always someone who's Asian who can do it better than you.

  • oohhh dudes i can play this with one thumb...on my leg

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know why everyone complains about sweep picking. I picked it up straight away, no hassles at all.

  • he might stutter his terrible english but hes a legend buuuutttttttt yngwei malmsteen in far beyond the sun goes beyond human bbbuuuutttt herman li never had the luxury of a treacher so fuck up anyonewho thinks he sucks pacman sound fffrrreeeett fffrreeettt

  • that was as sloppy as fuck, herman li sucks, he cant play it clean slowly, never mind fast. listen to some real guitarists like shawn lane, steve via, jimi hendrix, chet atkons, jerry reed, wes montgomery, joe pass, buckethead, rusty coolet, tosin abasi, emilana sicilia, thye listy goes on for ages but, getting to the point, HERMAN LI SUCKS AND HAS NO TALENT

  • He makes it look easy, wow sweep picking is so hard.

  • THUMBS UP IF U THINK ACTIVISION SHOULD MAKE GUITAR HERO DRAGONFORCE!

  • Why the fuck is this in the suggested bar on the right from a Guthrie Govan video? Fail.

  • @Hardysamnin Guthrie would absolutley rape Herman Li in a guitar battle. Herman Li only knows one style...<--- Shitty metal. Guthrie knows all types and actually went to music school. Herman is a stupid chink that should put the guitar down because nobody likes DragonForce. Plus, Guthrie can shred 10x better than Li.

  • @patrickdelehanty My thoughts exactly, so why when I'm watching Guthrie vids, is this clown a suggestion?

  • nice

  • chinese cunt, he should learn from yngwie or from akkerman.

  • @cuentaclon1234 listen you worthless piece of shit grow up. who gives a fuck what nationality he is. you are just butt hurt because he is better than you at playing. at least i'm man enough to admit it. now kindly go suck your daddies dick like you do every night and wallow in your self loathing and piles of your shit. punk ass bitch

  • @SuperDon1214 ahaha grow up you fanboy

  • @cuentaclon1234 EAT SHIT FUCK HEAD, YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND CRAWL BACK UP YOUR MOMMAS ASS.

  • @fukitall80 hahhaha u mad brou? he's just plain shit accept it and dont be a retard.

  • @cuentaclon1234 NO IM NOT MAD, IM A TROLL SO LETS BEGIN, I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, YOU LIMP DICK SHEEP RAPING VAGINA BELCHING MOTHERFUCKER! YOU TURD INFESTED QUEEF MONGERING ANAL SCROTUM CREATURE FROM THE 7TH LAYER OF HELL... Hmmm but I wonder who is waisting more time.. me for writing the insults or you for commenting on a video of someone you hate..

  • @fukitall80 woot? you insulted me, i insulted herman li. are you his boyfriend?

  • @fukitall80 LMFAO!!!! I laugh every time I read this. It's awesome. Good job bro

  • @SuperDon1214 HAHA Thanks. ;-)

  • @fukitall80 Fail troll is fail.

  • @dejeynes FAG.

  • @fukitall80 A 12 year old could troll better than you..

  • @cuentaclon1234 i'm not a fanboy. honestly i think that dragonforce sucks ass. all their music sounds the same and herman li is a sloppy guitarist. i just don't tolerate racism. i think that its immature and solely reserved for rednecks who are their sister's dad.

  • @SuperDon1214 i wasn't racist. he IS chinese

  • @cuentaclon1234 Ah. Makes sense, but i don't get his accent. It sounds kind of British. Or is that just his Chinese accent?

  • @SuperDon1214 i dont mind his accent, i mind how he plays... and he is a shitty player...

  • @cuentaclon1234 he is self taught so its not gunna be perfect

  • this is the dirtiest sweep I've ever heard.

  • O.O

  • he's an asian guy with a british accent?

  • @GuitarsRgood yeah

  • i'm so glad ibanez finally started making s series guitars with 24 fretts

  • nice sweep !

  • the trickiest thing is talking good english

  • @ELK1989612 you go try talking mandarin

  • HERMAN LI I HAVE THE SAME GUITAR AS YOU!!!

  • r people still banging on whos a better guitarist than who? lets look at it this way, rock and metal fans should stick together and we should be saying fuck u mtv!!!

  • @OXCerberusX0 i agree fuck mtv

  • his sweeps are a bit sloppy but he's still a good player

  • @XxXcarnifexXxX1  well, if you are a professional rock guitar player "a bit sloppy" is intolerable, my friend

  • @idontbelieveok ya know..this is true.

  • i luv this guy and i dont care what u guys say

  • Yeah, Herman Li can totally shred -_- You want to see guitarists who can shred look at Jeff Hanneman, Dave Mustaine, Zakk Wylde ect. Herman fuckin' fail can't even play live, infact it amazes me DragonForce have a fanbase, saying that the fanbase consists of 12-13 year olds and total retards.

  • @XXXpallisterXXX fuck u man herman li is the fucking best guitarist and id like to see u do better

  • See..... it rolls like a wheel...

  • herman li should be banned from giving lessons it amazes me that this has 2 million+ views when there are better players like paul bielatowicz to learn from. no offense to you super sensitive fanboys but hes not that good sure hes better than me (for now anyways...) but him being better than me doesnt make him good cause with that logic, billie joe armstrong is the one of the best of all time cause he can play better than any infant on the planet.i like dragonforce,but hes not very good

  • Comment removed

  • @JoelRorsethOfficial it was sarcasm idiot.everytime i might see a video theres some1 who'll say"fake,sucks,sloppy,shitetc.­" to which some1 will reply"id like to see you do that" or "post a video of you playing it better then" which is what the billie joe thing was about:making fun of the stupid fanboy arguments. i dont know how you could think what i wrote meant i thought billie joe was actually the best of all time lol

  • this guy has no feel, nothing, speed is everything to him. get some feel silly chink

  • @DavidMarkThomas2011 what. the. fuck. are. you. talking. about.

  • @richogem if you had a clue about music at all, you would go listen to influential people, such as jimmy page, jeff beck, eric clapton, not this absolute bullshit

  • @DavidMarkThomas2011 listen man... i listen to pink floyd, king crimson, led zeppelin, black sabbath, deep purple, the rolling stones, pearl jam, metallica, anthrax, slayer, mercyful fate, king diamond, michael jackson, lady gaga, bee gees, the police..

    well basically i listen to everything. even heard a dragonforce album.

    im not classifying anything, and im giving everything a shot.

    all im saying is, that when a guy is teaching super technical shredding, he shouldnt have feel what-so-ever.

  • @richogem i mean him as a player not specifically this video, i mean i listen to everything to anything from tinie tempah to slipknot, im just a huge music fan, but this guy grips my shit (as a guitarist) im really not liking him as a guitarist :P

  • @DavidMarkThomas2011 its a certain style that some people would like, and some people wouldnt.

    it all narrows down to a matter of taste.. (just like anything else in this world)

  • Who is this chink nobody? He sucks

  • @ExileHorror 0/10

  • yeah,my girlfriend really hates me for that

    

  • ARPEGGIO OF Am*

  • this is minor arppegio E

  • Not a shredding lesson: sweep picking lesson.

  • menudo payaso

  • wtf he cant even play it slow..

  • @jimbob32292 well said man, two of the best guitarists of time man, they shaped what alot of metal is today in my eyes. Technical ability just expands what you can do on the guitar, if anything, it can make your playing more interesting and creative, because your not limited.

  • ok dats sloopy............seriously...­..

  • shred?? fuk you this is  sweep picking

  • @Calikidd2013 im only picking on his technical playin, get a grip, hes quite cool and done well for himself and hes reasonably creative, ilike the fact that hes different, but hes not as good as you clearly think he is when it comes to technique. Listen to jeff lomis, yngwie malmsteen, and many other good guitarists and youll see that he is overrated. hopefully. :)

  • @hiddeninmist11 omg i feel so bad O_o srry srry srry srry srry srry srry srry!!! i will pay you money just to forgive me . o god

  • @hiddeninmist11 Technical ability isn't everything. In fact, the most technical guitarists tend to be the most boring. My favourite guitarist has always been Tony Iommi and he even admits himself he's not the most technically gifted. Malmsteen on the other hand bores me to tears. As does Satch to some extent. Also, this was a bad example of his sweeping. Check out the Valley Of The Damned solo. I've seen this guy live in an intimate setting and he's a lot better than many people give him credit

  • @j800r yea but think of it this way.... Randy Rhoads was as technical as they came and he in my eyes is one of the best if not the best metal guitarist of all time. Same with Dimebag Darrell and hes got such crazy types of harmonics going on all the time its way more technical then it sounds.

  • Comment removed

  • I went to GIT with Herman back in 1992. He was a really bad guitarist but his country paid for him to live in Hollywood and spend many years at GIT studying. Even after 19yrs of playing he still isn't technically good but he knows what he is doing..

  • Fuck the arguments he's a good self taught guitarist who gives a fuck if his shits sloppy ita his style let him play how he wants

  • why do people bother complaining? this is apparently how the man wants to play his guitar, it doesn't hurt anyone, just let him have his fun.

  • I'm the only one that hate this guy?

  • @scarletthunder100

    you are not alone

  • Comment removed

  • If you've got a girlfriend, she's gonna hate you haha

  • I can't see why people are saying he sucks on this one... jealousy, maybe because he is Asian.

  • asians of the world unite! you can do better than this!

  • Really people think he can't play ? jealousy makes you stupid, apparently blind too

  • These two.

  • @TheABELIE notice he's asian...

  • 2:07 then watch 1:10...

  • it doesnt bother me if hes sloppy in this video. music is not only about speed, but also feeling, and enjoying playing guitar. i like hermans style. yeah this video is a little sloppy, but live and on the records, heplays fansasticly.

    rock on herman.

  • ... like a wheel.

  • Uhhhhh,...........it sucks

  • get plus now. on a ham sandwich.

  • it´s sounds clean to me...^^

  • Kinda ridiculous. When I think of DragonForce, i think 20% guitar playing, 80% computer-editing...

  • kinda sloppy on the sweeps

  • 0:27 wtf moment

    

  • fuck this guy he sucks dick thumbs up for JASON BECKER!

  • Herman Li isn't a guitar legend.

    John Mayer is.

  • @pmbpictures your a faget john mayer and herman li suck dick

  • This Guy Thinks He Is Funny... "Finger Rolls"?!!!!!... dude i'm asian just like u and i dun make freakin lame jokes just to sound cool... it gives away ur naturality...

  • LMFAO 1:55

    "la duh ma duh la duh frets duh la notes"

  • i think hes a ruh-tard

  • @123thorodam the number of dislikes says it all man, he seems like a cool guy, but compare him with rusty cooley, or jeff loomis, who arent half as famous, and theres something that doesnt quite add up fairly

  • My friend has been playing for a year and he can do that...

  • he isn't able to handle a guitar with extrajumbo frets.... i've seen this a lot

  • click cc then go to around 1:14 and enjoy the annotation

  • @fragman9000 LOOLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOOLLO

  • The thing about Herman is, is that he is self taught (I know he's not the only one) . He spent pretty much the whole of the 90's finding a style that suits him, therefore no one will really understand his style like he does and it may appear to be 'sloppy' because its not ' By the book" . Well hey, he is making a lot of people happy with the music him and the rest of Dragonforce perform so he is definitely doing right. And for his haters, who have been saying the same shit since 2006, GET LOST.

  • @leoandmyles Finding your own style does not justify playing sloppily. If that's the case, then all the kids who got a guitar last week and put up videos of them playing Teen Spirit aren't poor guitarists, they're just "guitarists with their own style." Notice how all the other revolutionary, and highly acclaimed, guitarists don't play sloppily, they're clean in their playing.

  • He's Asian Period. xD

  • LMFAO! press CC then transcribe audio, and then enjoy XD

  • Yeah mate I would like two egg fried rices, a chicken chow mein and some spare ribs. How long will that be? .... Cheers mate

  • @lewington3192 fuck you, you white british faggot. i will give your country the bubonic plague again. fuckin british paleskinned snowman

  • England is no longer White. Does it matter ? 

  • i think it is great...oh wait i did not know bruce lee can play guitar.ha ha ha....

  • I GOT THAT GUITAR TO ;D

  • it can roll!!!! OMFG

  • i wish everyone would stop hatin

  • te puedo asegurar de que no te va a salir la barrida mirando este video.

  • This guy sucks, nothing but a fucking hack.

  • I remember when i first picked up guitar i thought this guy was amazin. Now i realise his technical accuracy is very poor for a guitarist with his level of fame, that sweep was horrible
