As always, You Nailed it !!!! 🤘😎🤘 Great tone and sound quality !!

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thank you very much for the feedback ;)

[@mendozakarl]

I think the thousand views added on each of your Amon Amarth covers are from me. Awesome as always, more AA please.

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thank you very much for these words and the support!

[@Andersson-wh7tv]

the raw energy.. O_O

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thanks!

[@duartevgc2114]

Unfortunately, now you'll never find your pick again-which probably went to another dimension, hahaha. Freaking amazing cover and tone, bro! It's impossible to not head bang xD

[@FearOfTheDark]

In that dimension are tons of guitar-picks already :D Thank you very much for these nice words!

[@ilovecocoscurry]

Excellent! Thanks my brother! And I subscribed just because of the badass pick throw at the end! Lol.

[@FearOfTheDark]

Haha thanks! 😂

So much fun to play amon amarth^^

[@FearOfTheDark]

Yes, absolutely!

[@ElZebbo]

Da hat sich also jemand die Box mit Schild gegönnt, wie ich sehe. 😂 Zum Cover muss ich nicht viel sagen, außer vielleicht: gute Wahl! Einer der eingängigsten Songs mit fettem Groove, gewohnt erstklassig vorgetragen 👍

[@FearOfTheDark]

Danke ;) Einer meiner Lieblingssongs vom neuen Album!

Very clean playing, I like it you got the tone damn near perfect. Also, I like that case on your PC rig, nice and clean, and red is my favorite color

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thank you very much! ;) The combination of black/red is my favourite :D

[@AchillesRage501]

Impressive I might learn to play AA song when I get my guitar fixed the first long I learned was Down wit sickness

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thank you very much 😎🤘🏻 I hope you get the guitar fixed soon!

[@Zarastro]

started learning this today on my ol' six string classical guitar, tuned everything down, only to see that I need 7 strings and basically lost my highest string, because my (normal Low E) was tuned down to A# still a pretty fun song to play and luckily they don't use what's usually the High E string xD

[@FearOfTheDark]

Have fun learning this song ;)

[@Zarastro]

@@FearOfTheDark I definitely will, although, I'm not sure if it's a good thing for my normal classical (nylon strings) to be tuned so low?

[@FearOfTheDark]

I don't know either :D I'm not familiar with classical guitars...

[@AchillesRage501]

I just bought my 2nd guitar I wanted a Jackson but because my martial arts gym is hosting a tournament in july I needed a new one fast I cannot wait 3 weeks for a new Jackson because I need to learn 4 more songs before July I liked how your Ibanez sounded so I bought one of my own Jackson can wait

[@FearOfTheDark]

Nice 😎

[@GamingSyndicateGR]

Amazing Cover man what's your guitar tuning? And im waiting for Valkyria cover as well!!

[@FearOfTheDark]

Thanks man! Tuning and other information are in the video description :P Amon Amarth plays it in Drop-A# and so do I. I'm sorry but I don't take requests anymore because I get too many to do them all. But "Valkyria" is on my list ;)

[@That_Tyr_Guy]

What tuning did you use? I have been trying to learn this for my 7 string.

[@FearOfTheDark]

I play it in Drop-A#, like I mentioned in the video-description 😎🤘🏻

[@Crrrr0wFire]

I think I need another guitar for another tuning :-P How many guitars with diffrent tunings do you have in use? Awesome cover!

[@FearOfTheDark]

I've got 11 guitars but I only use 3-4 for different tunings ;)

For my 7-string I use Daddario EXL110-7 which has 10-59 gauge.

[@SchwartzerAdler]

Nicer Shice! Aber du spielst es nicht in Drop A#, seh ich das richtig? Sondern in Standard A#.

Dankeschön! Doch, ich spiele es in Drop A#, trotz 7-Saiter ;)

Hey friend, do you plan make a The Berserker at Stamford Bridge cover? There is a part in the song that really reminds me of doom metal and I would love to see how it is played!

Warum nimmst du keine Song wünsche mehr an?

Weil ich erstens viel zu viele Wünsche unter jedem Video bekomme, als dass ich die jemals alle schaffen könnte. Dann sind das oft Bands/Songs, die ich nicht kenne oder nicht mag. Und drittens habe ich noch genug Songs auf meiner eigenen Liste, die ich mal noch machen möchte ;)

No, this kind of metal isn't for beginners. It acquires some experience and technique which is hard for beginners.
