these 2 guys are masters of their craft

[@page9833]

+Neil St not realy, they are very very good but by no means the best, when they play live they make lots of mistakes.

[@MyWeedgrower]

+Aidan Gold everyone makes mistakes

[@filipepassos-coelho6661]

+Aidan Gold i would say they are good rhythm player, very precise but not very very good. they don't play sloppily for sure.

[@page9833]

***** i agree, they are very tight with their rhythm its just their soloing and some of their more intricate riff that they play poorly when live.

[@aldelacruz5526]

Even the "slow motion " versions sound completely badass 😎

[@kazaakas]

4:55 Funny how they both use opposite tremolo picking techniques, with tremolo picking being such an integral part of the band. Johan anchors his hand with the pinky and the ring finger on the pickguard while Olavi acnhors his hand on the bridge and picks way lower down the string.

[@thedisbelieverdoom]

well 3:08 actually explains a lot. They thing they do with their hands is not the thing we hear.

[@TommyMartinezTube]

From a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest. I'll give the excitement factor a frost bitten 2.

[@symonjones43]

they look like they really hate doing this

[@rgenherehjartablo1742]

Symon Jones theyre probably nervous because theyre showing people how to play...if they mess up its more noticeable than it would be live...

[@brainhurty840]

I love how english is obviously not their first language and they're like "do I really gotta say it in english?" Lol

[@Yourmothercheebye19]

Yeah, but you'll be surprised how Scandinavians in general are taught English as a compulsory curriculum in school.

[@aaronsmith8209]

Good solid not-so-technical stuff here. I love Amon Amarth. Great songwriting. Simplifying the riff for the verse is really cool. Also, playing with the kick drums is also smart. It's these simple things people tend to forget. Myself included.

[@TheZehta]

"Hmm...close, but how about you try a little slower" "We's cants nots plays fast." "Yeah, its hard."

[@conarmclaud]

Finally!!! The whole version! Thank's a LOT, dude! You're awesome!

[@Zarrey]

all i can think of during this video is toki and skwisgaar lol.

[@battlekenney3962]

+Zarrey Nah i really only think that these two are the only Amon Amarth representatives in Dethklok. Because Nathan is absolutely George Corpsegrinder. I personally dont know who pickles and murderface are based off of

[@christianeryu4674]

me too ..

[@jackkansas2721]

murderface would be geezer butler from black sabbath pickles i think was modeled after devin townshend of strapping young lad skwisgaar i think is modeled after Jari Mäenpää from wintersun toki was supposedly based on Lars Mikael Åkerfeldt from opeth nathan is definitely based on george coprsegrinder

[@skwisgaarskwigelf331]

Yous snerious? I ams WEEEY fastest than dems 2 guys togethers... Though I respects dems, I likes dems musics.

[@JohnThompson-iv5ox]

toki looks a lot more like Varg Vikernes before he went to jail

[@tll23]

I dont think they speak with people very often...

[@poodyjewface8916]

Swedish people were made to play guitar, not talk.

[@Bixxy]

they're probably struggling with their english.

[@implowdawhg8367]

or maybe English isn't their mother tongue...

[@gordon3876]

Ok. So these guys planned all this????? Fuckin A. Music composition is such an amazing art. Listening to it at first one thinks it's all fuckin improvised but, seeing this lets us know the care, thought and passion that goes into making this awesome fuckin music. You guys are at the pinnacle of what makes metal so great, Thank You Amon Amarth11111

The bridge is literally the same riff from Shogun by Trivium except the very last note o_O

[@turboblueperformance7100]

I always thought that I had heard that riff somewhere before and I think you are right. Hallkaft, jump to the 8:20 mark in the song shogun and you can see the resemblance. I love both bands so I could care less, its just interesting. Before I hear it from Trivium haters...Shogun came out in 2008, Surtur Rising 2011.

Guitar world

[@TheKaneDestroyer]

I learnt how to play that song just by listening to it. By ear.

[@CaptainWaibeoer]

My tab has the chorus chords, playing on the 5th and 3rd strings, but nothing on the 4th. How do you play a chord with an open string in between. Thanks in advance for any help.

[@23ero23]

That's called an octave, same note just 8 pitches higher. Put your your first finger on the 5th string and your 3rd finger on the 3rd string like you normally would but lay your 2nd finger on the fourth string to mute it. Don't press any frets, just lay it on top of the string enough to choke it out.

[@CaptainWaibeoer]

Thanks.

[@23ero23]

No problem.

@@swedisheinherjer 13-62. in B standard. On a (short) gibson scale this is actually still kinda floppy.

at 4:55 ... this bugs me so enormously, how the hell do you play these parts that are so fast that they almost sound like one single sound :D really want to practice playing that fast, any tips?

[@richardhetfield9029]

+Thulu try to till the pick a little, so you will be playing the string in a diagonally way with the pick (kinda playing vertically), does that make sense?? But don't get too comfortable with this "technique" cause it gives you a "dirty sound" which is difficult to correct later on (personal experience)

[@pjcvdpol]

They are probably more at ease crashing old volvos in the snow....

[@willvaughn6.395]

What string gauges ?!

[@sparkygg5886]

13's are definitely best choice,but I played on 11's and 12's before and there is no huge difference :)

It´s difficult to see the actual talent when guys are playing simple stuff like this. And music doesn´t have to be tecnically challenging to be good.
