Hey guys, I've recently made a Facebook page associated with my channel, check it out! facebook.com/pages/Mm1066/165756826837381
I really can't take any requests, whether they be for cover videos, personal transcriptions or collaborations. I'm sorry but I get less and less time to do any videos of my own yet alone with other people.
About me:
Hey there. I like to think of myself as a musician, but on this channel I mainly play covers of metal songs as I personally think they're fun, and can sometimes be quite challenging. Firstly, I play guitar. I've been playing guitars for roughly 5 and a half years now, but most of my videos were done when I'd been playing 2 - 4 years. From 2009 - present I've been writing original material and posting it here, as I think people need to know that I'm more than just a cover artist. I currently have 4 full songs posted on here, along with two videos of my soloing ability. Usually, I tend to practice about an hour each day, sometimes more depending on what I'm doing or what is happening around me. I used to practice much more, for example in 2006 I think I played guitar most of the summer - from the morning through till the evening. I didn't become a good player overnight - I worked hard to get to this level. Becoming a better player is not an overnight thing, it is a gradual process which requires patience, determination and practice.
My thoughts on writing music:
As far as writing music is concerned, it's a very difficult thing to explain. It's not necessarily something you can teach; it's more of a personal experience that will happen to you at some time or another. Writing music isn't something you jump right into, it's not something that happens all in one go, for example; I didn't write Memories Lost in one session, it was taken from individual riffs that I had from months before, and gradually arranged to create the finished product. This is how I believe most musicians began their career as artists. The first riff or idea is the hardest step you will take as an artist, but after this, ideas come much more naturally and thus writing music becomes much more enjoyable to you. What I used to do when I started to try to write music, was to look at other bands work, and mainly analyse how they tend to structure their songs. This usually gave me an idea of how much I would need to write in order to get a similar outcome. It is a difficult thing to do, it is not easy. Another thing that I tend to see a lo
You need a good singer and lyrics for this. Not that dumb screamo version either thats out there. No offense to them, it just didnt fit these riffs. This is a power prog song through and through, with some brutal and sexy riffage. Needs clean and gritty vocals, not screaming.
Just came back another half decade later to say it's still the best metal song of all time to me. Best solo of metal in my opinion and I'll say it in public.
You played it a bit different than Oli did and that usually drives me crazy but that was a cool version. Check out the official book for this album "The Fall of Ideals" Oli Herbert did the transcription, so it is perfect. I would love to see you attempt that transcription; I think you have to chops to do it.
Bruh this is one of the first videos i ever saw you in and that was over a decade ago! What a life man. You inspired me to play better and you made me a better player man I love you for what youve done!
Brother, when i started learning how to play guitar you inspired me back in 2007! Youre a legend bro awesome to see your face for the first time right now! You have inspired me forever bro thank you for what you do man 🥲🙏🏼😄
I've watched this video a lot of times through the years, and I just realized there's a cat sleeping in the couch xD I guess I was focused on that PERFECT solo
