Herman Li Solo

[Zekemis]

definitely the fastest shredder ever, only if he could properly palm mute

[1madaboutguitar]

I fuckin HATE this guy...

[hdtvcamera1]

Why do stupid people insist on talking while they shoot videos of something interesting.

[Loganberrymusic]

This video is good, but not as good as Herman Li Grandma LIVE.

[IbanezNick75]

It sounds like shit. That's definitely Herman Li.

[GhHolocaust]

wow what band is he playing that for? not dragonforce coz its screamo

[ItsmeFrederick]

@GhHolocaust i think demonic not sure cuz i hate screamy stuff

[XxvisualkanoxX]

what's the name of that song? O-o

[totoco2]

@XxvisualkanoxX Daggers and Ice (band Demoniac)

[XxvisualkanoxX]

@totoco2 Thanks! ^^

[Nelladagar]

i cant believe people say this guy sucks. hes amazing

[martyfischetti]

@Nelladagar no he isnt

[j800r]

@martyfischetti Stop being a shit trooper, he's obviously amazing to him (or her).

An "amazing" guitarist is completely subjective. To me, Tony Iommi is one of the best guitarists alive, yet to many others he'd be seen as a sack of shite. Don't go pissing on people's parade's just cause YOU don't like the guy.

[martyfischetti]

@j800r no, because talent isnt an opinion.

he blows

end of story

[SuperPikeymikey]

Herman Ri have considerburh pinga pong honah d(-_-)b

[SpaceEater1000]

Demoniac

[diamndstealr]

ur vid sucks... nothing more...

[bloodofheros]

Not that it matters, but since you've only given us visuals here, I feel as though I should point something out. It looks sped up haha, there appears to be a decreased frame-rate...hence the jumpiness of the guitarist. His hands are fast enough as is....were you trying to make a chipmunk video? My guess is that moviemaker went hay-wire and trashed the audio due to you layering speed-up effects, no? =)

[manos199621]

no sound ????

[nicolasgeldhof]

[WaWaWeeeeeeeWa]

No sound, but I'm sure it sounds fucking sick...

[tbaldwin102]

synyster gates will rape this guy in the butt... dragonforce sucks ass live

[Freak791]

No sound...no thats the muted section.

[sh0d4w]

umm..no sound

[Fimbultyr2]

Herman li and Synyster gates both suck......Michael Angelo Batio, Yngwie Malmsteen, they are good guitarists

[robeastatmetal]

theyre all good. i dont care if all u can play is a D and a C chord back and forth.

i dont care what anyone says.

if it sounds good,

it is good

[aldencipriano]

u forgot about gilbert brotha

[SpyderKM]

take it from a person who actually plays guitar. yngwie malmsteen can shred but doesnt compare to synyster gates or herman li. most of yngwies' stuff is a shred version of a classical piece. guitarists are only considered good by how original they are, not by how much they can shred. i dont really like herman that much, he may not b compared to ynwie but u cant say he sucks just cause u dont like him

[Fimbultyr2]

Yes, you´re right^^

[Ritley123]

Firstly, Yngwie is very original, its just not guitarists copy him, secondly, what makes a guitarist good is how good they are, what makes a guitarist original is how original they are. Synster and Herman are both neither original, or all that amazing (though both are good)

[SpyderKM]

there are 15 year old guitarist that live with there moms that can play everything that kirk hammet can play. does that make them as good as kirk hammet? there are guitarist here on youtube that can out shred yngwie malmsteen, does that make them better then yngwie? if you practice guitar long enough, you will become just as well as any other guitarist, but wut makes u famous or a good guitarist is if u can be original, or if u can create a style that was never heard before.

[Ritley123]

Whats original about kirk hammett? He just plays pentatonics with wah. No offense attended to kirk, but he is technically not all that great a guitar player. And there aren't many guitarists who can outshred yngwie on here, trust me. Not many people i've heard are as clean as yngwie, though I give exception to Chris Broderick, Jeff Loomis and Rusty Cooley.

[SpyderKM]

ppl arent as clean bcuz they dont have as much experience. kirk hammet isnt considered that good of a guitarist bcuz so mank ppl copied him and everyone is now better then him, but back in the 80s he created a style no one heard of, no one played as fast as him(with the exception of slayer, but they arent as well put together as a band.)

[Ritley123]

Thats not true. Get your facts straight, your obviously young and not born in the 80's. Are you telling me Kirk Hammett was faster than Paul Gilbert? Lol. Also, speed is not the only thing that makes Yngwie good, if it was then he'd sound just like Kerry King, but he doesn't. Yngwie has 1. Amazing classical sounding vibrato 2. melody 3. often good compositional ability  4. chops (e.g sweeping, tapping, hammer ons pull offs e.t.c) and I could probably go on. What makes Yngwie good, is he is good.

[Georocs7]

dude the guy jus doesn't like Yngwie whoever the hell tht is!

[HybridSoldier94]

but Yngwie is boring

every intro sounds almost the same

so as the solos etc.

but hes not bad

[Ritley123]

Depends on the song/album e.t.c, Far Beyond the Sun and Black Star are my favourites and they're both amazingly composed e.t.c

[SpyderKM]

im sure synyster gates and herman li have been playing longer then u, wut gives u the right to call them bad? and have u ever listened to a entire yngwie song, or bought one of his albums? if u say yes to the second one u r lieing

[Ritley123]

on the contrary, I love listening to Yngwie otherwise I wouldn't be defending him. And where did I say either of them where bad? I didn't, I simply stated an objective fact. Yngwie, is technically better than both herman li and synster, and I bet you even they would agree. Now, who you prefer more is a more subjective matter, but who is technically better isn't.

[SpyderKM]

how is he "technically better?" and how is he more original then synyster gates or herman li? is it possible that yngwie is extremely overrated just bcuz he can play fast?

[Ritley123]

Right. Firstly, he is more original because he completely innovated and defined a particular guitar style. Herman Li and Synster both just sound like generic shredders, they're NOT original, they didn't do anything, where as Yngwie was the one who defined neoclassical guitar music. Secondly, Yngwie is technically better because 1. He is cleaner 2. He has better chops 3. He rarely ever makes a mistake, and has ultra accurate picking, and sweeping with minimum string noise 4. He is a virtuso

[SpyderKM]

alright u got me there, but u cant call syn and herman li generic shredders, they deffinetly dont sound like anyone else, and paul gilbert and kerry king are faster, but kirk hammet was in a more succesful band

[SpyderKM]

dude just cause i dont like yngwie doesnt mean that i dont like metal

[Georocs7]

tht guys a dik loll

[Funkadelik13]

Synyster gates is an awesome guitarist, herman li sucks ass. i wouldnt put those 2 names in the same sentence

[anondesudesu]

you just did.

oh the irony.

[shawn1331]

lmfao!thats funny man

[AttentionAllMartyrs]

How exactly does Herman Li suck? He can can play way better than Synyster Gay any time of the week. Also A7X sounds like someone has a tight clench on the lead singers nuts

[Ibanezjem231]

LMAO.

[accdchannel]

crap i wish i can hear it !! it looks so awesome

[anondesudesu]

I guarantee half the people here don't know how to play guitar, or are just starting, and look up to people like Synyster Gates and Herman Li cause they are generally fast and mainstream enough to relate to as a guitar role model. This is utter bullshit, speed is nothing. Kurt Cobain could right hundreds of songs with no sweeping or ridiculously fast scale licks and he'd still be 10x the guitarist of Gates or Li. It's all about the soul and feel behind the music.

[vanrosica]

amen

[guitari666]

i completely agree fast guitar music is boring and you dont get the notes theres allso no tecniques like stevie ray vaughan wasnt the fastest guitarist in the world but he had soul

[therudster1]

ur right, but if u think about cobain, he was a coke sniffing druggo, ok sure his music was O.K but he isnt great. herman li and gates are pretty fucking good, they mastered the guitar, but there are poeple outthere way better than them, buckethead and satriani and vai for example

[geoff1121]

exactly wt i was gona say. feel>skills

a lot of ppl are making music for the wrong reasons these days

[ultimateguitar553]

True, But everyone has their own approach to guitar

[rocketanko2]

the stupidest comment ive read on youtube. congrats.

[bond8437]

hmmm for some reason i got no sound.

[u52zay84]

my band (((Furthest Krueger)))

Please retrieve it with youtube.

[sammyvengance]

SYNYSTER GATES OWNS ALL

[skatemoreyeah]

lol synyster gates is the gayest guitarist of all the time. hes a fucking emo bastard

[sammyvengance]

Wtf Are You A Retard How The Fuck Is Syn Emo :L

[skatemoreyeah]

he spent more time in his life putting make up on than practicing guitar

synyster gates would shit his pants trying to play a necrophagist solo

hes a fucking retard

[sammyvengance]

wtf eyeliner? its up 2 him what he wears? least he can actually play good live! young shreader of the year!!.. a7x win awards and stuff and they play with amazing bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden ETC.. Dragon force dont even win stuff !! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

[skatemoreyeah]

lol you're such a loser if you think hes good because he wins awards. muhammed suicmez would kill him.

the stuff that avenged gayfold plays is easy as hell. try some death metal like suffocation, nile, necrophagist or obscura.

synyster gates is a fucking faggot.

[sammyvengance]

yh i like loads of genres but a7x is my fav bands and bring me the horizon.. but i guess ur entitled to your opinion but syn's solo's are legendary

[bond8437]

Alright. Synester is a very good guitarist yes indeed and i have seen them in concert. But all his solos sounds the same. their isn't much difference.

[nlo13]

Nile?!?!

ahahaha those guys can't play guitar for SHIT.

[skatemoreyeah]

obviously you don't know shit about music. your just a little kid who knows to play power chords XD

check out their vid for metal hammer. they fucking destroy

[nlo13]

uh. no. I know more about music than you ever will.

Getting back to Nile, this video speaks for itself.: youtube->

=yT2aOnH3-xc

[skatemoreyeah]

actually this vid is great, let me see you do that and i'll be quiet.

but you can't because you're a gay little poser

[nlo13]

are you sure you watched my video.

I doubt you did, because if you actually think that is good guitar playing, you need to learn music. Listen to some Malmsteen, Vai, or Satriani and then come back to me, poser.

[mercuryman9]

syn gates is clearly better then most modern players. he studied jazz which alone makes him superior as jazz is one of the hardest genres to play.

[guitari666]

true very true

[michaelloudin]

DAMN STRAIGHT

[clappingfish]

hes good, but waaaaaaay overrated not even goes to "owning all"

[PortisLandry2630]

he blows cock SYN and ZACKY = DOMINATION OF MODERN METAL GUITAR

[leedevine666]

omg, avenged sevenfold suck ass lol

[KCspiral]

omg that tone is awsome i love it so much i wish i could make noise like that

[GeovanniYoungGuitar]

pinche idiota si le pusieras sonido seria otra casa inepto XD

[bustamante01616]

[Drakillon]

It is indeed his best solo, because there is no sound at all :)

[Slashammett7]

[crazyminti]

[z2k10]

hey you guys should check the band NEVER TAKEN on myspace, they are a struggling band trying to make their way

[smashead]

why no sound?

[VerekKelm]

And all you people whow say "Herman Li iz a shit guitarist", dipshits - upload a video of you doing better. I'm sure we'd all like to see it.

[James0543]

Dude give me a break, you don't know what real guitar playing is if it slapped you in the face.

[samtheman92]

Lol I'm sure Herman Li needs you to defend him:P and if your talking about the music he produces for records then I sure could in a heartbeat if I had a studio:D The guys been playing for 20+ years right?? Give me 5 and I could tear him a new one in what he claims is his forte. I'm sure I could produce something live right now that more people would enjoy though:]

[VerekKelm]

Im just expressing my views, and if you can do better, please, make a video!

[samtheman92]

As am I:] Better is a matter of opinion though brother man:D I'll make one just for you though;]

[VerekKelm]

Sweet, man!

[VerekKelm]

If you hate this "douche bag", then why are you wasting your time pissing people off by making them feel bad or small about what the like. If you don't like Herman Li, then piss off and watch something you do like.

Retards.

[CptFoxMcCloud]

JESUS CHRIST HE PLAYS AWESOME AIR-GUITAR! Better than me, Im wicked jealous, but no seriously, this guy can play amazing.

[ZabuzaMox]

wow so fast the sound wave is muted!

[James0543]

[ItzR3zR4pt0r]

[Drocks0]

I think 3 of you just made the same joke about no sound right after each other.

[Smielle]

Haha, right on man!!

[Daedoichi]

WTF :O No sound! OMG no way!

[ADAMOSTHEDARK]

[Laiho133]

[SwaggaLikeThem]

[BonesCTD]
