This is what Ynwie Malmsteen said in an interview: "I watched this young Japanese girl [Unlucky Morpheus] on KZbin recently playing "Far Beyond the Sun" on the violin, note for note, absolutely perfectly. It was really great, and what was so interesting is that it sounded like it was a piece of violin music, not just a string of guitar licks. It is so crazy that it sounds exactly like it was composed for the violin. I was amazed by that. It was like it had gone full circle from me being inspired by the violin to hearing it played by a great violinist".

単純に日本語訳すると「この女の子の演奏をyoutubeで見たよ。Far Beyond the Sunを一音一音完璧に演奏していた。単にギターの音をなぞってるのではなくて、バイオリンの音で奏でている。凄いよ!まるでバイオリンの為に作曲された曲のようだ。ほんと素晴らしい。この素敵なバイオリニストの演奏を聴いて、なんか1周回っちゃった感じがするね!」って感じでベタ褒め。共演するとこみたいなー

Transcribing the keyboard solos to guitar was genius.
@sigiligus2 ай бұрын
It is not transcribed at all. The guitar parts for this performance are wholly original. Transcription refers to altering a piece of music such that it can be played on a different instrument. But it involves playing the same intervals, just in a different key. The violin parts of this performance ARE transcribed.

This one of the best covers of any music piece I have ever heard. As a fan of Yngwie since the this album came out. This cover highlights the genius of Yngwie Malmsteen as a composer. And their understanding and performance of this is soo true in spirit of the original. The performance itself is a masterpiece and a fantastic tribute to the great master Malmsteen. I am full of admiration.

ヴァイオリンでFar beyond the sunを演奏する人何人か見た事あるけど、ここまで完璧な人初めてです! ヴァイオリンでイングヴェイの速さを再現するのはギターよりもかなり難しいにも関わらず、一音一音が凄く繊細&丁寧! 特に最後のピッキングハーモニクスまで再現するあたりはイッてしまいそうです! もう演奏の最初から最後まで神レベル過ぎて鳥肌立ちまくりです!
I just found this video. I've been listening to Yngwie for years and this song is my favorite. Now finding you guys and this version, I'm really impressed. I was completely confused when I heard your version. You guys are really talented and motivated, so really go ahead and do more of these. You guys are super. Best regards, Aki Bergström from Finland.

She has been pulling double duty for quite some time now. Shiren's disorder has gotten much worse to the point he can only do his solos live when performing. Jill does all of his guitar parts otherwise. That's also likely why he isn't in this video. Everything he would be doing, Jill is doing. Now that said he's still the brains behind the entire thing and still writes all of the music, he just has to take a more passive role when it comes time to perform live. For example, in newer songs he's started doing harsh vocals. So he fills the time he can't play his guitar with singing.
