It's called sweep picking and it's a very difficult technique to master. As a guitarist, I've been doing them for almost a decade and I'm nowhere near these ladies. All of their techniques are excellent and very clean.
A 14-solo Shredfest ! This clip was from the studio LIVE which they performed back in October 2020 to celebrate the third anniversary of the release of their debut album "Awakening from Abyss", and they played every song on that LP in this show (plus a bonus cover of Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free"). This was streamed LIVE from the studio because the band couldn't tour by virtue of COVID.
LOVEBITES - Scream For Me lyrics: SOLO: miho SOLO: miyako Communication breaking up and I can't figure it out Baffled, So out of touch with what's to come All because I just can't seem to get through to you We wait Debate Our fate Trying to escape from all the deceptive rules I've had enough So what's the way for us to get it? Before you go shoot me down Now's the time to come together Hear me out Cause what I think What I'm thinking about is If we let it take forever we just may lose it all "So what I think What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again" We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free - Panic fuzed me! SOLO: midori I wonder what you see whenever you're here standing in front of me What would it take to make a break From running in circles that only aggravate? Inside we hide but why? Genuine perspective could be the greatest gift we ever share I care enough to talk about it Come on Please don't shoot me down Now's the time to come together Hear me out Cause what I think What I'm thinking about is If we let it take forever we just may lose it all So what I think What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah Let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free SOLO: midori / miyako We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free - panic fused me! SOLO: miyako / midori / miyako / midori / miyako / midori / miyako / midori / miyako / midori ----- lyrics: Dr U music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: The LOVEBITES EP 05/25/2017 & Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017
This song was originally composed for A Drop of Joker (2013-2016) the band Miyako was in prior to being in Lovebites. Liar was the other A Drop of Joker song.
very glad you did this song next - and this version. it really brings out the beasts in guitarists midori and miyako. stunning exhibition of shreddification. and miho's opening bass riff is thunder
Love this song, ever single version is awesome. I have seen 2020 studio live, 2019,2018 live versions, fancam from 2017 versions. Just amazing everytime.
Once bitten forever smitten 😂, as you'll now be aware of these ladies are highly addictive in every way possible, the musicianship, the vocals and the stage presence is second to none, I've been addicted to #lovebites for a few years now and even now they just get better and better 🤘🎸🎤🎹🥁🐺
Their music is rich with beautiful and very active melodies that are always ascending. That is what makes music endearing---not speed or loudness. (ABBA and Brian Wilson come to mind.)
This song rocks and an awesome ending!! 🤘🐺🔥The technique is sweep picking for sure, a way to play several notes in a row really fast as you sweep your pick across the strings. A lot of people will do it up and down, the circular technique as seen in the video is also a popular way to do it!
I am not a guitar player, but I believe the technique is called sweep picking, but I could be wrong. Now you owe it to yourself to go and watch the live in concert version of this song, it is way more fun. I’ll put the link in the reply.
This is such a fun, rockin' song, and a showcase of all the ladies' talent...Love it!! Actually the whole bunch of songs recorded Live from this studio are awesome! Enjoyed the reaction....thanks!🤘
I know there are those who will disagree with me, but I like the live version from 'Daughters Of The Dawn, 2019'. Asami, "OK Haruna, give me the beat !". Whichever one you choose though, this is an amazing demonstration by Midori and Miyako of their guitar skills.
A great song, the whole concert they did in there is very much worth watching, they play all the older stuff and slay it!. Thanks for the reaction. 🤘🐺🤘
@@lawrencegambrell4293 took the words out of my mouth. saw the ALLMANS in the summer of '71 while the original lineup was still intact. dicky and duane were spot on in that performance. it was the southern rock and blues sound as opposed to LOVEBITES but their dual harmonies were sent from above.
Your next Lovebites song to react to should be "Inspire". It's from this same Live from the Studio. This was a Livestream concert that they did around the time of the Pandemic. The entire concert is awesome!!
LOVEBITES Miyako plays the guitar and keyboard at the same time !!!!!! BURDEN OF TIME - Studio Live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4OBf_Gn8efs.html
Your viewers have answered your "sweep picking" question but there's a live video where Midori and Miyako harmonize while sweep picking. I can't recall which song it is but maybe the Wolfpack can remind me? It's pretty impressive if you ask me. Oh, and you should check out "Burden of Time" from this same show for a special treat.
Sorry - forgot to mention not only does she play guitar and keys at the same time but she also sings on this track - although disappointingly she's only playing guitar when she sings not keys as well ! 😉🤣
Great reaction ( as always ) - while you're in " Live from the Abyss " it's worth checking out Miyako REALLY showing off and playing guitar AND keys at the same time in " Burden of Time " - not something you see every day ! LINK : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4OBf_Gn8efs.html BTW - the secret of good " sweep picking " which is what you were admiring is to stay relaxed - doesn't work nearly as well if your wrist and hand are tense
Did you notice the difference? Miyako in the left ear and Midori right. That’s how they originally recorded „Awakening from Abyss“. They actually had changed sites in late 2018, but made an exception for this recording …
