The final countdown solo - Europe

[pengukir90]

fuhhhhhhhhhhh....GOODJOB...NIC­E

[tayron27]

I cant beleive that people are still saying is better than the original.You need your heads examining.

[samehamsandwhich]

@tayron27 its the tone and how he plays it... bro serves it proper....

[samehamsandwhich]

it honestly sounds better than the original... sooo good...

[fiedek922070]

Amazing playin' Man, great technique. I know what I'm saying. Good Luck :)

[Simpinator]

nice !

[Gabrielczrtt]

is it hard?

[slash970224]

@Gabrielczrtt Nope ^^

[nikosDivas]

best cover...

[stonethecrow80]

you have a great touch! excellent

[Pacolopez15]

is... amazing!!!!!

[goom66]

damn, you make it look so easy...

[962310962310]

PERFECT



[bramgauw]

Just an amazing cover, very good!! How long did it take you to learn this solo? I've been practicing it for three weeks now and I'm almost there!

[FlamingAntelope667]

@bramgauw How long have you been playing for?? I wonder if I should attempt it as well.

[bramgauw]

@FlamingAntelope667 Well, I've been playing for 12 years now but I'm new to economy picking so I'm using alternate picking instead, that's what make's it hard! I think you just have to try, it's the timing that's most difficult in this solo I guess. For how long have you been playing? Good luck!!

[FlamingAntelope667]

@bramgauw I have only been playing about 1 and a half years and so far have never even attempted to learn economy picking. I would have to do the solo with alternate picking as well, so I may hold off for a little while before I give it a try.

[bramgauw]

@FlamingAntelope667 If I were you I"d try some easier solos first, like don't cry from GnR for instance, that kind of solos will learn you a lot too! Tell me when you have your first attempt at The Final Countdown recorded, I'm curious!

[tayron27]

I heard that William Cooper predicted this solo in his book 'Behold a pale horse',and i dont think Chuck Norris could play this with his tounge,but he could play it with a bit of his facial hair.

[Karmoon7]

When they send messages into space to communicate to alien life, they should include this too.

I'd be friends with any life form that made this cool stuff.

[Pipoheinze]

Please! I love your sound, I need to know which equipment you use please! thank you! well played

[10Rob11]

"Bang on!"

[LOGANTRUEBLOOD2420]

Who wants to bet that chuck Norris can play this with his tounge

[BlackistedGod]

I really bow my head for someone who can play this solo perfectly.

Better then the original..

[NandeDattebayoo]

@BlackistedGod Word man, word!!!!!!

[SFALAKI0]

@BlackistedGod man he's the guitarist from Europe respect to J.Norum!!!!

[BlackistedGod]

@SFALAKI0 Man, I respected John Norum! but I have a freedom to say anything I want even if I said it right in J Norum's face that this one is better than his solo. Im just saying my idea and if you think the original still the best then its your choice. I wont argue with that. So just leave me!!! because we have different thoughts!

[SFALAKI0]

@BlackistedGod get a grip man, i m saying that the man playing IS J.Norum.he used to make tutorial videos!!

[1997Cengiz]

306.806 views....hmm...he deserves this number.plus three zero...

[eareshel]

Awesome control and economy picking, dude!

[CloudAsMarzio]

This is a thousant times better than john norum's solo

[tayron27]

@CloudAsMarzio dont be a tit.I agree that this guy has nailed this solo to a tee,but to say its better than the guy who originally composed it is retarded.I love watching this solo,but im sure Happyguitarplayer would agree with me on this.It is very disrespectful towards John Norum.

[Karmoon7]

@tayron27

To copy is one thing. To create is quite another.

*rubs beard*

[Omgitzmat]

How fucking good can you be... I'm jealous as fuck

[ColdBloodedAU]

good shit

[JooZer]

Such a perfect run. Mine is 'meh' compared to this one ;<

[iain399]

best on the web by far - helped me greatly, many thanks!

[ibanezps10ltd]

Nice work !

[goodlad73]

i have been playing 25 years and can play this solo... however that is the first time i have ever seen it played perfectly, note for note, other than John Norum... superb mate, well done!

[nikosDivas]

best cover...

[iain399]

blistering - superb

[SquierFender1996]

[introducaomusicas]

Muito bom cara, aqui. TEM COMO vc postar so esta parte rapida do INICIO ai, mais lento?

[FlightSimmer007]

0:25 - 0:29 is nothing less than perfect!

[erick67956]

muy chingon tu video esta muy bien

[502Imcomingthrough]

We all know this is really you John.

[SpasticInk]

Nicely done! Check out mine ;)

[AlphaxDelitE]

thats really awesome :D

[levrone007]

MATE!!! go into a guitar shop where they dont know you and dress and act like you know fuck all about guitars and ask for a go of the best and as they hesitantly let you have a go show them who's boss!!!!

[alessandrogoggio]

@levrone007 You totally should!!!! This is the greatest idea I've ever heard... Best Prank of all times.

[levrone007]

@alessandrogoggio i wish i could!! im black and id dress up like some ghetto rapper, they never see it comming ....

[TheEmmaTempest]

BEST COVER !!!!

[Philipperodrigues]

Great man! I recorded my version of it and i shall put it on youtube soon but let me say that you got it perfect. I learned it some years ago and got stuck with what i knew back then ( i don''t do the 2 string sweeps wich sound better as you show here) but i think is a good try, check it out when i upload it ok? thanks for posting this!

[DoubleDown778]

Money. You kicked ass on this one.

[Sacramento801]

Perfect man!!! every note is in the correct time... :D

[ARampage88]

Really look at his right hand. He obviously fast forwarded it from half speed or something

[GraekheMetLr]

@ARampage88 they're called sweeps :)

[seleparrjeponn]

am i the only one who imagines that his face looks like Slash?

[Karmoon7]

@seleparrjeponn

Listen to Slash's solo in MJ's Beat It and THEN listen to this guy's version.

I'm sorry, this guy is miles better than Slash.

[imacfan1]

@Karmoon7 Dude, beat it isn't from slash. it's van halens solo.

[Karmoon7]

@imacfan1

MJ did a version with Slash too. Some other guitarists too.

(to me Van Halen played it the best, which is why this guy is such a legend for nailing it).

:)

[TORO1971DRUGO]

HEI DRUGO! BRAVISSIMO, 10 E LODE.....MEGLIO IL TUO DELL'ORIGINALE!

[Hurleur33]

Amazing! Your guitar sounds really like john Norum one's!!!

[pumpkinofsteel]

[n3ssaya00]

[escrete20000]

Repeat button will file a complaint in the cops for raping

[nuggemangan]

Kee Marcello actually wrote this solo I believe

[therobindarkness]

@nuggemangan

[NandeDattebayoo]

I do not understand how you can be this pro man! :) I think you are John Norrum, Gilmore and Van Halen impersonated! Sick skills!! How long did u play the guitar for?!

[prutsikas]

Every note is perfect man...Really great cover, and awesome vibrato.

[Oduig]

Ever since I heard this cover, I am a little bit disappointed when I hear the original. You're legendary, I wish you had more videos!

[elcuarentayseis]

YOU ARE A MACHINE!!=)

[urbancasbah]

this is the way we must play this solo.... great tune!!! Amazing bending control....

[JeremyTheBarcaFan]

you have a different feel than the original version , but this one is as much good if not better than the studio version. keep beeing a perfectionist and uploading only perfect solos as this one.

[renio00]

Great Job !

[zaubertom]

Holy shit o_O

[suckymotor]

More videos please - you're too good to not have more videos on You Tube. Like this comment if you agree!!!

[divolt]

Fuckin' awesome, dude! You nailed it, heads on! I luv your style, man. Great sweepin' technique and you are one of the few who takes his time for the larger then live vibratoes that make this solo to what it is: a true masterpiece!

[tellerwaescher88]

how the sound gets created on 0:13 to 0:22 and then again 0:29 to 0:38 ??? I didnt get it

[redwill21]

@tellerwaescher88 he just looks like he flicks the selector switch and adjusts the tone a little bit :S although i reckon probably a pedal somewhere..??

[dmgunmaster]

those who dislike this solo they are assholes

[dmgunmaster]

wow great i loved it

[Snagprophet]

Amazing. It brings tears to my eyes. It was so beautiful.

[deadbunny001]

[PitZahut85]

[tayron27]

Jesus-does your plecturm give you special powers? the last time i heard that played like that was by Norum himself.Your version is even better than Kee's

[adrialbati]

Man, how can you play this so easily? Your big motherfucker! You make me have a lot of jealous... Congratulations! Thumbs up for you forever!

[wenomkru]

I was gonna record myself playing this solo and post it... But, now I'm not...

[V3G3TA10]

i get the chills up my spine every time i listen to this..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

[eric111999]

First of all i want to say this is amazing! but any ways i kinda suck at guitar and this solo might be a little out of my reach. Anyways I was wondering if you were sweep pickin the first two notes of the lick or whateve you wanna call it i just cant seem to hit those notes fast enough

[blurginouliz]

[MrMARZIO1975]
