Who cares about the musicality of the compositon. At least it's in X/X. Yes, I am that ignorant that I don't spare any time to find the time signature. I'm all for innovating and shaping how music sounds but if you change the time signature don't make it sound like shit.
pretty good technique, but the arrangement needs a little revision, "i think".. You did a great job in arranging the time signatures, but it in my opinion i think you need to work on the transition, cuz the transition sounded kinda plain for me. Just stating my opinion here. Good luck
loved it, much like john petrucci playing, awesome man ! i love dream theater, and dream theater too me are the king of proggressive metal, so i know good prog when i hear it :)
@inferiorJK no it doesn't. prog rock has 4/4 too. He did change the rhythm, even if it was by changing the time signature. Makes it sounds incoherent. To change to time signature, the tune has to fit the time signature. This melody doesn't fit. Different time signatures doesn't equal prog.
@inferiorJK No, you are totally wrong. It's not progressive music just because you change time signature. As Lastchild90 said, the tune does not fit the time signature, therefore, it is shit.
you are that juan valero?:))..a icame to this vid accidentally and when i looked at your nick i realised that i have your album melodic fantasy earlier compositions..nice playing:)
Gotta remember guys, this is a "Prog" cover, I never really knew Progressive metal to stay within time signatures even when it's supposed to. I think it sounds good
wow, im not usually one to post negative comments about videos, but... wtf dude... fucking up the time signatures so badly that you make the song sound like Yngwie did it while on a bad acid trip is not making the song any better... maybe just go a little less "math" metal and play something audible. my ears will never forgive you for this.
Oh, also, I would've kept that genius time signatures that you did this in, but I think it'd be cool if the drum patterns were different. That arpeggio part was perfectly rewritten though.
This definitely isn't for the weak minded. I personally liked this version a lot better, while the original is pretty overrated. I kind of wanted to hear a lot more notes thrown into it with an even tighter feel, though. Shred it, man.
I dont see what is 'progressive' about this? Steve Vai has been doing this neo-classical stuff for 20 years - You are without doubt a great player with good 80's style techniques, but not making any real progress or doing anything new to my mind
I think you may have taken 'progressive out of context.' The song is progressive in that it flows from section to section rather than going in a verse-chorus-verse-chorus form. True, it isn't the best example, and I may be interpreting what you say incorrectly, but it seemed like you thought progressive to mean making progress in the evolution of a genre rather than the piece itself progressing through a number of unique sections.
Dude....What Time Signature did you arrange that song to be in? I'm surprised you don't get confused by it...seems soo out of beat and complicated, kinda like Dream Theater's stuff lol...but hey your an awesome guitarist wid a hella different technique...And I really like you guitar dude. Good job on that harmonic squeal
With that being, and although i like a lot of prog bands and understand what you are doing with this video, it's hard to make sense of what's going on at times.
don't worry my friend, this video couldn't be appreciated by everbody, so people that don't like odd time signatures would say that my playing sucks or comething like this...
Anyway it's great that few persons enjoy my song and comment, THANKS A LOT !!!
It isn't that I don't appreciate, but in many places notes just seem out of place and seems more of an improv session. There were some cool parts and you seem like a really good guitarist(a lot better than me) and I'm not trying to dis you or anything, but I think it just didn't work.
if i hadnt already been layin on the floor i would have fallen on it! that was the fuckin shit man!!!!!!
i used to play the black n whites then when i picked up the guitar i started lookin for a decent version of this to play with, ill definatly be visitin the lesson!
This is the guy that asked for the help in the myspace message, Alexander, and the timing had me thinking that you couldn't pull it off but FUCK you did great and beautiful. Cannon is my favorite song and you did an awesome rendition of it.
Joer Juan:una jem 555 ,scalopped,con el rollo EVH,me encanta la guitarra.Le acabara gustando ala paisana,haha.Muy bueno el tema ,el tempo ,y airefresco pal canon.Fakingreit!!
it's well and good re-interperating the track and putting a new flavour on it but in my opinion their were times when you can't tell what your playing so i think it's a bad version. but your one hell of a talented player
awesome lesson juan:) im not realy a member of gmc but i have almost seen every free vid of that site:D im only 16 years old and i got my first guitar about 1 month before my 12th birthday. i can play the slower peaces but the change in tempo so suddenly is still a bit to hard for me:)
