Europe - The Final Countdown SOLO (close up)

[LMACCA1000]

I can see ya playing the solo, and it is spot on mate. I do have one question, how do ya get the movement of the fingers that fast, is it just a case of learning the correct notes and playing them faster and faster till ya reach the speed?

[snakev10v5]

I think the fact that you hear the notes being picked adds a sort of feel to it myself, what are you all complaining about? Reading the comments I was expecting really bad quality of sound. But its not that bad so leave it be.

[KamiNoKazoku]

lol , why would ppl say this is a playback ? its obviously real , wtf are those ppl thinking

[Hammertime5150]

You can totally hear the amp. No question this is a great cover. The notes are right on!

[MrGoodbar1318]

dude my advice to you is all these comments ur getting saying this is a playback just means that u did it so perfect these assholes cant respect how awesome that was. nice job

[KennyXArmy3000]

this guy is amazing don't listen to them ur awesome :)

[inuyasha331]

This is OBVIOUSLY real -.- You can hear the difference between the track and him.

[monkengregful]

You guys are all fucked up......

I dont see how you guys think that its fake. You guys play guitar for what, guitar hero?

You can clearly tell the accent of the bend, the tap-bend and others.

Unless you are trying to say that this guy bends so well that it fits the tone so perfect? Who would waste the fucking time?

Go get a life instead of commenting fake stupid fucktards.

[MrChester805]

You suck it fake!!!

[apenasamthekid]

@MrChester805 shut up

[MrVhek]

@MrChester805 If you have no ear no listen to this!This man is great!

[MrChester805]

You suck

[ParkourKid2009]

Good cover, fuck the people saying its fake, i been playing guitar for 3 years and there is no way its shit, just crank up the volume next time for some constructive criticism and dont pick so hard because you can hear the twangs. Just play it without hammering through the strings. Good luck mate :)

[Cheximus]

Ah you're one of those players who tries to run before he can walk. Zero feeling in those bends or vibrato. Just pure speed.

[vilafona]

Isnt Europe?

The final coundown? 

[5an777y]

Su puta madre... que dificil que es...

[afwef1]

how can it be playback when there is obvious misteake near the end, not that it's big, but it's proof

[KaPoTgEaK]

Yee ppl who think its fake suck ass in playing guitar if you cant see his fingers are exact same position as it uses to b!

[Just2Pacificas]

How can people think this is fake?!?!?

Even if you can't hear it that well you can clearly see his fingers, and he's playing the solo right... but i bet the majority of you don't even play guitar ;S

Nice cover dude ;)

[Pedrofarol18]

thanks for your comment ;)

[robertfwk]

Is it playblack? haha. you dont care about someone elses opinion.

Connect your amp.

[Pedrofarol18]

@robertfwk i answered that question almost 100 times to other viewers. when the video starts there's an explanation to show this is not playback. by the way at the end of the video you can hear clearly my guitar, i even make a mistake...

[bulletinyurass]

@Pedrofarol18 yeah you also hear the pinchy sound of the strings

[rafaelthyago1]

Fake.

[Pedrofarol18]

lol...

[MrVhek]

@rafaelthyago1 You're a fake!

[Pedrofarol18]

@MrMARZIO1975 it's stupid, forgot to use it xD

[MrMARZIO1975]

@Pedrofarol18 hahaha any way you play very good man

[Niamorg1007]

Greaaaat!

[paulandersonmusic]

great one.  Tho you did the mistake at the end to prove you were playing it ;)

[HELLOSEMPA]

THis was acctually great, I wasn't really sure in what speed to be picking, but now I know thanks to the low amplifier

[MrZoa20]

Tab plis

[Ta1nTZA]

0:50 - 0:52

SHIT COVER

[jandrequiem]

@Ta1nTZA envious

[Pedrofarol18]

@Ta1nTZA i just didn't care about cutting the video...

[Ta1nTZA]

@Pedrofarol18 just joking dude, it was a pretty good cover :)

[Ta1nTZA]

@Pedrofarol18 just joking man, was a good cover :)

[DeeHawkDK]

Aaaw, the simple mistake in the end. That has to suck so bad :D

Well done anyhow ^^

[Pedrofarol18]

@DeeHawkDK haha you're right about that ;)

[MrZoa20]

Hi, I can say as the movement of the pick or chisel in the song, if you use sweep picking greetings;)

[MrZoa20]

alguien sabe como es el movimiento de la púa



[Pedrofarol18]

@MrZoa20 english please...

[marinazxful]

@Pedrofarol18 means: someone knows how is the move of the pick??

greetings from Brazil :)

[lambolynch]

Actually, it's not note for note. See happyguitarplayer, that's note for note, in tune and perfect timing.

[denni342]

@lambolynch Why should he cover it note for note? Every guitarist should, in my opinion, just put some of his own in the solo, whether it is just some timing differences or parts which are improvised..

[Stickyforkstheband]

tabs? 

[McDiesel667]

For those who can't hear the amplifier. Go check your ears, or at least clean them.

Nice 1 mate!

Well done!

[nycerr]

actually, I can hear your guitar, what's the problem? and you did a great job :D

[paoloc90]

What kind of strings do you use? 0.9 or 0.10?

[sli121]

0:49

Awesome video

[KennyXArmy3000]

dang rock that gitar

[TheScorpius222]

wow super

[IG881000]

ah hello u forgot to turn on ur amp

[kakashi1810]

you made a wrong note on the theme part XD

But the solo is awesome! Keep playing

[andreess010]

el barrido no es asi.. lo demas te sale muy muy bien..

[Pedrofarol18]

i will aprecciate the comments better if i understand them

[andreess010]

@Pedrofarol18 is that I am Argentinian and my English is not very good .. what I meant in the previous message is that the technique you use on the guitar since the second 12 to 19 do not think that's right, you know? I congratulate you for the rest, I do very well ..

[RequenaSLG]

@Pedrofarol18 he say you are no doing good the sweep

[LOLsongLUISFER30]

@Pedrofarol18 no sabes español o qe verga pendejo!! xD

[Geetardudes]

@Pedrofarol18 i speak english and spanish, he said" the sweeping isnt liek that.. the rest went out pretty well." and MrZoa said: "Does someone know how is the pick's movement"

[Murtazin1988]

very good! 

[Calatafimi]

Bravo ma couille, bien joué !

[ABZco]

Amp,

[aljourg23]

DAMN BEAUTIFUL...You play it absolutely perfectly !!! I wish i could do half as good as you but it will take me 50 years at least ...i start looking right now for the tab...it's MY final countdown before I'M HEADING FOR VENUS

[EuropeFactor]

Does this solo use the sweeping technique or not?

[FenderStratocaster06]

@EuropeFactor No I don't think, John Norum didn't sweep this solo in the 80s and he never did, it is alternate picked.

[MrDaChampR]

U need an amp...

[Pedrofarol18]

0_o??

[MrDaChampR]

@Pedrofarol18

Cut now ur playing without an amp :D

[Pedrofarol18]

lol why are you saying that? do you think i'm not really playing?

[MrDaChampR]

@Pedrofarol18

Meh i'm messing with ya.. xD

[raresore]

@Pedrofarol18 he IS USING an amp you can hear that in the end

[Migez93]

@Pedrofarol18 Maybe they are mourning about the string noise dunno

[dnsbram]

@Pedrofarol18 no its because of the end i think xD

[SENSEofRAID]

@MrDaChampR He has an amp, listen to the feedback, he is playing. Oh yeah, good job on your behalf,. i cant even play it half speed lol :)

[Aerdi98]

[WhiteSyd]

AWESONEEEEEE MAN 5*

[LuigiTheGreat05]

the beauty of neo classical rock!!!

greetings from the philippines peace! ^_^V

[Gurut2009]

@LuigiTheGreat05 Europe is neoclassical? I always thought of them as one of the power metal bands haha

[iwantitall23]

i think they are hard rock,not metal or neoclassical.

[DeathMetalAngel123]

hmmmm, oh well. It don't matter, they make good music.

[EuropeFactor]

Great! What is the best way to learn this? Did you use a tab, or just work it out by yourself?

[TheImperialNinjA]

wow you make it look easy xD

really good playing :)

[24LeadGuitarist24]

Not too bad. Check out my solo cover of this song

[isauhm2]

estas con todo

[FenderStratocaster06]

what the picking technique for this solo?

[bigun1999999]

are you sweep picking ? im trying to play this solo and im having real trouble getting up to speed on the hammer bits

[24LeadGuitarist24]

@bigun1999999 No it's not sweep picking you noob! It's just tremolo picking, but it is tricky cause you have to use 2 strings.

[Pedrofarol18]

you dont have the right to call noob to anyone, because you are one too!

[24LeadGuitarist24]

@Pedrofarol18 How?

[24LeadGuitarist24]

@Pedrofarol18 I did another cover of this solo just for you, ya dick. Check it out

[switch0123]

hey pal i cant open your link ,, wheres your location > i think my ip address is not allowed in your country

[switch0123]

isnt that a faster alternate picking on two strings ?

[Zobarzo]

Mesmo com o deslize no final, até pq é o teclado q faz e n a guita, vc mostra ser um puta guitarrista!

Parabéns!

[bloodthirst72]

Nailed it. Great job dude.

[JohnGasp]

Ganda Pedro!! É assim mm! Dá-lhe forte =)

[Kalashnokov]

U are the best ! How long did you learned this sound ?

[Pedrofarol18]

thanks, i learned this solo by ear a year ago, it took me half an hour maybe...

[SVBarnard]

Bull shit!!!! I guarantee you did not learn this whole solo by your ear only!!!! Maybe you learned some of this by ear but not the whole thing. I am positive you looked a tab for some of this.

[Cameron0801]

you are very good!!!

you are god!!!!!

:-D

[7thsept]

oh god.. I WANT TO PLAY THAT! :D

[rowley1112]

its not that hard really

[battlefrontwing]

Little error in the riff ^^

[blackbull2433]

so awesome xD

[skydancerak]

keep it up dude ;)

[KennyXArmy3000]

[Xayey]

Delicious! I love the sound of that mistake, it makes me laugh!

[MovieMakerGuy1]

[haroldroses89]

[skatingscotty]

O: where am i?

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

[Dodziiin]

I think you could improve 0:25 but its still better than what I can do. good job

[CKonShannon75]

[3v1lm0nk3y93]

[Big12JR]

Very, very very very very very very...

Nice.

5 stars.

;-;

Big

[azumikik23]

"sorry the mistake at the end, its so stupid xD "

xD amazing

[Trapmaker677]

I can never get this right, but then you inspired me :)

[dhoeymans]

0:22

[Pedrofarol18]

what?

[Riogh3]

vry nice!

[bettencourt74]

Could you teach the solo please? the first part in solow motion :O)

[AvengeJoker]

its on the E and B strings, like BEEEBEEEBEEE and im too lazy to give the notes, but just try yourself to it xD

[fenderman21guitar]

the main part was ace, very clean, im guessing yours sounds alot cleaner because you used sweep picking?

[Pedrofarol18]

thanks! actually i din't use sweep picking, it's upstroke on the B string, downstroke on the high E string, hammer ons and pull off ons. At the begining of each position of the main part i give one more picked noteon the E string to match better the rhythm i guess.

hope it helps;)

[jaibeniwal]

at 0:45 MIDDLE finger used in a positive way!! :P

Awesome solo... \m/

[Dashe1994]

Really good! Haha, btw, whats ur string size? looks really small O.o

[Pedrofarol18]

hey, thanks! it's 0.9 ;)

[xiisign]

Sweet.....

[Family3o3]

the best version i've ever seen your the best man

[PetriAL]

This was cool :)

[Leadfoot570]

The best version of this I've seen yet. Nice job. Very fluid and the right accents/ picking pattern.
