Its disgusting how clean this is.

[@AG-no8zq]

Yea Teemu plays very clean. But Charles Caswell always blows my mind considering how difficult and clean this stuff is he plays.

[@nickhetzschold7946]

A G It is impressive - as long as he truly plays what he shows. ;)

[@maaaaaap]

@@AG-no8zq he only is that clean after heavy editing, teemu is always clean

[@FredySansaloni]

@@AG-no8zq I do agree that Charles is mindblowing, but Teemu... damn look at that 🤯🤯

[@FredySansaloni]

And its live!

[@CaptnShred]

Teemu is one of the tightest players around. Incredible technique.

[@mindmachinepsy]

I just love watching Teemu play. He makes it look so easy that i actually was convinced i could learn some Wintersun songs. Needless to say i failed miserably lol.

[@drabbster]

Max Hoff can relate

[@entrophany]

Keep grinding

Sadness and hate is not hard

@@roliartik1198 fair enough. I tried Sons of Winter and Stars because go big or go home. I went home

The solo in this song is one of my favorite solos ever ! Teemu is just amazing !

[@DIABLOinWEHRMACHT]

What’s amazing is I meet people everyday who have NEVER HEARD of WINTERSUN

[@Bodom92]

Teemu the legend. The main reason why I always go to watch wintersun whenever they play at venue near me. I met him a couple of times and not only is he a great musician, he’s a humble person too.

The guy at the background is holding a paper in front of him to prevent his face melting off.

Man, this is some insane playing! Teemu is one of the best players, period!

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

Dude Jari and Teemu are absolute guitar gods. They seriously have a gift and I'm jealous lol

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Even though Jari can play so well he prefers to focus on singing. They got Asim Searah to play the parts that Jari used to play: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOkm3affcqrgLs Here's the video that Asim send to get into live auditions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4XCfZqOl8xorac

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Teemu probably got trained hard by Jari.

[@TriggeRschranz]

Outstanding Performance. Still one of the, if not the best guiarplayer in the World!

[@gabrielfrison]

If only Ibanez introduced this as a production model everyone would buy it

[@escoclipse14]

Just buy a JBM and mod it

[@gabrielfrison]

@@escoclipse14 it would be much more expensive, especially because there are no evertune installers where I'm living

Super tight playing. Plus extra marks for the high res shred.

[@justintavares9730]

Every time I think I’m okay at guitar i watch a video of Teemu and feel like 10 years hasn’t taught me anything at all

[@Metallkopf86]

Its been great seeing Teemu's progression. I first found Wintersun in 2004 and that's when I first knew about Teemu. Jari as well, with him it was when he was in Ensiferum. Both insanely good guitarists. I'll never be as good as them.

[@madddog6790]

I bet if you asked him, he'd probably say that doing these demos was scarier than any Wintersun show so far...imagine playing something that complex knowing that every *little* mistake would be noticeable as hell to everyone around without the band to back you up.

[@ironblast5]

The note clarity is astounding and yet it still sounds heavy as hell this is one hell of an amp

[@yamadojo81]

Teemu is the cleanest, tight and tremendous guitar player ever! What a melting face playing, I'm always amazed!

[@amusik7]

Wow my mind is blown! The sound is so CLEAN! WOW

[@Aalii6]

I see Teemu, I klick instantly

[@FortinAmps]

Same lol! Check out his new one we just uploaded!

[@Bemaritohtori]

Just flawless

[@progpogs]

One of the best metal songs of all time to me.

[@superjarri]

That's the most difficult song of both wintersun's albums IMO and one of my favorites too.

[@BlackHermit]

He plays cleanly and smoothly, just like an angel!

[@matthiasmcz9955]

[@MaggiWuerz]

this dude, man! Jari needs to crap out more music just for Teemus sake.

[@jeremyg5318]

They’d rather just show us the same show clips of the same songs we’ve seen/heard. I can’t believe they haven’t released single for “the way of the fire” and “storm”. Wintersun will always have a place in my heart, but I’m dying over here lol.

Fortin in the amp business is like ESP in guitar business. When I think about Fortin amps, I think "metal" ! Same is when I think about ESP guitars....it just has that distinctive "metal" branding to it!

[@FortinAmps]

Cheers! We are honored! ESP guitars are pretty sick too!

More importantly: both can pull it off!

[@11WicToR11]

Jari 2016: "This means Teemu will take the solo guitarist role. Will he be able to to survive the 'Winter Madness' solo? We shall see! If not, Jukka will play it with the bass!" You had no idea Jari ....you just didnt know xD

[@ArinmarDeKaldenoc]

of course he knew..otherwise Jari wouldnt have done it ;)

[@framuscobra]

Wtf. This guy is just amazing!!!

[@esaedvik]

Modern Yngwie Malmsteen. Even the song sounds vaguely "epic", like his stuff does. Love it.

[@novalechuck7498]

outstanding

[@jhonathan709]

Best f..ing solo ever... classical touch

[@jetaimemina]

Is it just the light, or are those last frets scalloped?

[@TheBabouk]

There are a lot of Wintersun stuff on the social medias lately, I hope it gives them the will and courage to finally release Time II. It’s already been a long wait...

[@zahrans]

_to finally release Time II_ Jari: *LOL*

[@justuss_]

They are releasing one album the same way they did with Forest seasons. After that Jari should be working with Time II again.

[@damienrhodes1773]

That guitar is so gorgeous. Custom for Teemu, or a production model I've not encountered?

[@s6p6]

the guitar is one of 4 Ibanez JBM models that fb.com/kkwoodworkstudio modded by Teemus specs

[@agalloth]

Most of his guitars are Ibanez LACS

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The only way to tell this is actually pretty hard to do for even Teemu is watching how his veins become more visible around 3:50.

[@Melodic-Metal]

5mins of just clean hits how TF%$&# is that possible........and it’s got Rythm ect, I know Jari is praised so much for wintersun but without Teemu I honestly doubt the success would hVe been as epic he is just sooo talented ,passionate and pro with a smile so much ❤️❤️❤️ from AUS

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Jari did everything alone on debut, except for drums. And he did most of it with (probably) cheap Jackson, although with EMGs. And he also used Tele.

[@alexsharp3481]

dislikers were people who couldn't handle the shred!

That's an audio guy. The camera was auto-fixating on him, so he had to hide

[@karlkoch9324]

Here I am, struggling to learn the basics of nothing else matters on guitar. Ok cool.

[@claire6650]

And teemu struggled with it at a point too, as we all did when we picked a guitar for the first time You cant compare yourself as obviously a beginner to someone who has been actively playing for more than 20 years

0:51 gotta clean up that tremelo picking man! ;)

Which song is this?

Agree

[@toxendon]

Looks like 2005 Christian Bale

[@dirgeforthymurder]

Anyone know why he has a locking nut style nut while using an evertune bridge?

[@ianismajoris]

Originally it's an Ibanez JBM-100 with a Floyd Rose, but Teemu's guitar guy modified it completely, including the Evertune bridge, the blue finish, the Wintersun logo on the 12th fret, etc...

[@dirgeforthymurder]

Ianis G. Ahh i see, thought it was an ibanez la customshop for him

[@atticantraverse6101]

[@kanskejonasidag1]

What's the name of the song? :)

[@rubaleasd]

Winter madness

[@damonstewart70]

The amp sounds have more clarity than the fractal stuff.Notice he shreds BUT his Melody builds up to his lead break that in turn don't over do it but rather EMBELLISH his melodic theme.A master class in AMP TECHNOLOGY and VIRTUOSITY THROUGH RESTRAINT.These amps really inspire

[@conbotstudios]

Out of the 5 million notes he picked during that i think i heard once that was slightly muffled.Dude needs to practice a bit more...

[@lordoftheonionrings5255]

nah he ain't that good I'm sure I hear a mistake somewhere. Damn what a guitarist!!

2 different things
