I spent years learning how to play all your songs when I was a child. Between the ages of 14-16 (12-14 years ago) I dedicated hours and hours of my days learning how to play all your originals, as well as killrbuckeye. I was never able to be as good as you but I think it will always be some of the best memories of my life. I hope you and killrbuckeye get to see this comment.
POV - It's 2023 I found my 13 - 14 year old iPod Classic. Started scrolling through the old tracks and got reminded of this beauty. Remembered the times when we would extract audio from RU-vid videos and make tracks. Thank you for this banger track Musicmann1066. 2023 still raising the heavy metal devil horns for your bro!
1)That solo is beautiful. That is the only word I can think of to describe it. 2)Spent from 7:30pm - 10:00pm just playing 0:40 - 1:40 trying to get it to the same speed you do.... can only do it at 75% speed if I want to make no mistakes. My respect level for your song writing and guitar playing just rose immensely.
Finn you have been a true inspiration back in a day when I played quitar. Now I'am all about EDM but hey... you are still the best, this song touches my heart really deep. Helps in tough times. It is a cure for a broken heart and feelings. Oh wait there goes the solo.
If you found this comment in 2023 or even 3033 . . You're witnessing an underdog legend of RU-vid shredding. The very finest years of RU-vid where talents like Finn started it all. 🥃🚬
+darkenlightenment It's just called classic "metalcore" man. This was always the best shit before people took it and turned into garbage. early 2000s is when killswitch, as I lay dying, all that remains, used this style. I don't give a shit what's popular this is my favorite genre period, and it's what I will always play and listen to.
Can't believe I was only 12 when this came out... Thanks man for being such an inspiration through all these years! The amount of times I've blasted this song isn't even quantifiable.
You're one of the people that got me in to playing guitar around the time that this video was released, brings back so much memories (no pun intended). Thank you for the awesome covers and the music you put on RU-vid over those years! Best of wishes and much, much love, man.
I was just watching killerbuckeye and saw he did a collab that looked familiar. Crazy the inspiration this video gave me back in the day man. It’s been a while and it’s crazy to see how far I’ve progressed over the past decade. This doesn’t seem so far out of reach anymore.
This is a fantastic composition, my friend. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Your soloing is phenomenal. Never overdone, but perfectly climactic. Keep up the great work.
I thought the song itself was OK but the arpeggio sequence over the chord progression was stellar. It works amazingly well and technique wise they were perfect, you didn't just blast through them. They were melodic and every note rang through incredibly well. I am impressed. The song is over but I am still humming the arpeggio sequence. The true test of a well written song.
Dude... I FUCKING LOVE IT! Amazing, nice tempo changes, perfect sweeps, I can't stop listening to it. You may be very well the first iTune music I buy along with Killrbuckeye's music. I love it man, good work.
I think I have watched the solo in this video at least 100 times ....... that dive is fucking emotional . That is about the best word I can think of to describe it . Bravo .
@musicman1066 I am American. An sometimes I forget that some states are out there, I know they're there, but sometimes I just have no memory. But I most certainly know that other countries are there. Keep up the great work. Love the videos. :D
Speed is nothing. Skill comes from the heart. And thats why this song stands out from your others this is your best one. Being fast means nothing. Let the music breathe
Man, that solo at the 3:10 mark is one of the most well written solos I've ever heard. Not just because it's swept and tapped (although it is impressive), but because it fits so well with the rest of the song. Good job, dude. This song might not be breaking any new musical ground but don't listen to the detractors on here; I'm sure they listen to a ton of god-awful music that doesn't have a fraction of the heart this song has.
@musicman1066 As an American, I would actually have to agree with you. A great majority of Americans don't even know their own country, or their own language for that matter. I live here and i'm constantly frustrated with the people around me blurting out ignorant comments and narcissistic behavior.
dude. 1:15 is just sick. deff one of my fav parts. and the sweeps at 3:09 is rediculous. i culdnt do tht to save my life. lol. mad respect, bro. keep rockin. u got skill.
@musicman1066 As an American who very much enjoys your music, I do have to say ignorance runs high in my country. I find all of your music to be very well written and have no discrimination to your nationality. I would appreciate you thinking before making discriminate remarks toward mine. Thank you.
My favorite part about this song is the intro. It sounds so beautiful, even with kick ass drums in the back. It kind of touches me everytime I hear it.
@sabbyzzzz I agree. We guitarist have fast minds (well, those that are good anyways) but its not superhuman. Its years of learning the chord and scale shapes and position which trains your brain and muscles to automatically remember. Playing and learning guitar trains your brain to think differently and to think faster so it can keep up with all of the information coming into it from the ears. Its impressive but not superhuman. It takes years to develop to this level,
