The Cage(Sonata Arctica) intro solo Tutorial

[Snorkarella]

Awesome! And yes, it's 100% in the same key!!

[ProgPianist]

What program do you use to slow down the song? Really nice tutorial thank you! :)

[Kojitsu]

@ProgPianist

I used the amazing slow downer. The trial version only lets you work with 1/4 of the song, which was convenient for this song since this solo is at the beginning. If you want to use it for later solos, you can cheat by cutting out the rest of the song with whatever editing program you have, then repeat that part 4 times in the same audio file ;)

[ProgPianist]

@Kojitsu ok thankyou! Where did you find the non keyboard version of this song? Or did you just edit the track by youself so the keyboard wasn't in it? If so, which program did you use? thanks :)

[Kojitsu]

@ProgPianist

For the slow parts, I used guitar pro 5 to make the backing keyboards, guitar, and drums.

[darioNRG]

Remove those extra # (I fucking hate this with the posting of websites is nearly impossible...)

I don't understand that but maybe you do so with that you might get the solo played perfectly :)

[amato22user]

fuck u're right, sorry about that xd it's OK

[amato22user]

Its not the original tune, beacuse Sonata plays in B, but it helps a lot, thanks !

[Kojitsu]

@amato22user

it is in the same key as the original, I even play to the recording at the end of the video.

[RiffDumpster88]

@amato22user the song isn't in B. It's em/G Maj.

[TheRockfantasy]

c'est naze garçon, c'est nul

[xtrife57]

[5k4k1dhtp]

Great tutorial, it helps alot

[franpurasangre]

que buena onda!

[FurbyParade226]

Im in love

[smiljanicn]

Very good, could you post midi file of your playing , please?

[dragonsagoth666]

Very good job, although there are some parts that are played differently in the original, at least according to my ear.

Also, note that Jens uses pitch bend range of 3 semitones, not two, and a full 3 semitone bend is used right in this solo: right in the second bar when you play B, C-bend to D, it's B-bend to D instead, and that can be clearly heard from the record.

[PowerDaso]

Hey dude, when did you bought your keyboard?

[PowerDaso]

Man, great video, but I got it hard to learn 'cause I couldn't see what you were playing.

[cl4udiolari]

why when you go on that G-Low you use the other hand??

it's not so correct!

try to think to move your hand before arriving to the last note you play on the higher octave and then go with your thumb finger to that G.

I mean, i wont use left hand for just 3 notes its not good to see (without offense my friend, you'r very talented!!)

[Kojitsu]

I knew someone would point that out eventually, haha XD I don't have the notes too well figured out before that last run so the way I have it is a bit of an awkward jump with one hand. I was just too lazy to change it so I stuck with it, lol.

[Hectortito123]

o.o'

[Edrhd]

Very cool.

Would be great if anyone who can play this already could make a slightly slower tuorial though!

Kind of hard to follow in places

[valdakus]

OMG, you're freaking good my friend

[Anonymousmuffin]

Um... is your keyboard dong pull-offs? LOL

[monkeyrilla]

this really helped alot, thx!

[SomethingOriginal86]

Utterly spectacular. If I wasn't so cack-handed, I'd attempt it learn it myself.

[AzurkaiHandrin]

Thats really sweet. I only just finished learning the solo for My Selene though, got a ways to go :)

[0ryken0]

sweeet, thanks a ton, this is much closer than any of the tabs i've found. you did a great job

[Neurak89]

AWESOME. You are very talented
