How to Play "War Eternal" by Arch Enemy

[@yes-dq8lm]

underated guitarist

[@Annsrrone]

That is really powerful song, powerful solo, riff, melodic all combine in one. That's why i love arch enemy music.

[@IvanChernenko]

Annsrrone It's fucking cool, but too hard to listen to for hours because of growling - it is the reason for head pain

[@metalgirlxd6012]

@@IvanChernenko Since I listen to Arch Enemy I played their songs nonstop and ignored the head pain and now it's disappeared😂👍

[@Scottocaster6668]

Nick's turn to solo... Jesus Christ the speed!! I started laughing, F'ing awesome. Love this song, I'm getting another guitar for C-tuning just to figure out Arch Enemy tunes.

[@willvaughn6.395]

How’s that been going ? Why do you need a guitar just for drop C / B standard ? I guess you play on a Floyd

[@AlecDamiano]

Awesome, but would've been more awesome if it had a split screen with Nick and Michael playing their respective parts

[@Glenzo78]

who needs a tab when you just need this video, well played bro \m/

[@rizki215]

this guy wrote some of the most melodic solos I've ever heard

[@deftartisan6769]

Indeed. It's melodically transcendent in comparison to the majority of melodic death metal bands. The unparalleled creativeness should be associated with Michael's ,heavily reliant on melody, guitar playing.

[@9hk38f]

@@deftartisan6769 You do realize that Michael writes 100% of the guitar for Arch Enemy? This Nick guy didn't write a lick. In current time, Jeff is now finally doing some writing, for the current album they are/have been working on.

[@kevinanthonynavarrogutierr8620]

pásalos hermano

[@rustinpeace-tt8gx]

@@9hk38f Yes he did. The comment said "solos" which is true. Michael writes all the riffs and his solos, and Nick wrote all the solos that he played on the album. Michael doesn't write solos for the other lead player.

[@9hk38f]

@@rustinpeace-tt8gx No, Michael writes pretty much 100% of everything. He even writes some of the lyrics. He is a self admitted control freak. Which is why he uses passive pickups, instead of active. There are rumors that he finally let Jeff write some stuff on the current album. But Nick did not write a single note, of any Arch Enemy song.

[@nefertititodiefor5888]

Perfectionist...that's so perfect...love it

[@meltedcheese1511]

Guys, i just got word that Nick left the band, a friend told and said that when Michael was asked about it he said "it's effective immediately" Chris Ammott (i hope i spelled that right) is in for the rest of the rest of the tour. When they're done, Jeff Loomis will join Arch Enemy. I don't know what happened but it's a real shame that he left. That's a lot of skill right there.

[@textworkru]

1) Chris Amott 2) Нельзя утверждать, что уход Ника это позор. Мы же не знаем причины, верно? Может у него с родственниками что-то произошло. В этом случае его поступок заслуживает уважения.

[@Scottocaster6668]

Fuck yeah it is, so smooth. Loomis isn't no slouch tho either. He's a good fit.

[@chr1s631]

Loomis is way better

[@noahb4645]

Anyone else notice that the length of the video is 4:20

[@NasalFtw]

Beast. Great Technique, Great guitarist. Didn't know about him cuz i really wasn't into this genre.

[@tptechnician]

Right after setting my eclipse up with the zakk wylde emg set I got into this tune and decided my eclipse shall now be set up in c so I can learn these songs. Never played so low before but I'm enjoying it and these guys are absolutely incredible. Thank you arch enemy

[@Ssvinq]

Incredible performance as always. Congrats! But why didn't you play it with Michael together?

[@warwickeng5491]

one of my favourite guitarists \m/-_-\m/

[@skyediamandis5262]

OMG my self-steem is so low right now

[@Lupazi]

thats easy to play... takes just a bit time. Only the sweeps are a bit tricky

[@dolphino666]

Don´t worry, since this video I don´t have self-steem

[@terrybuchanan1]

yep, still as coool sounding as ever everytime i end up on this vid never gets stale

[@ariefsetiawan5566]

great guitar sound i like it

[@flipmlbb]

It would be awesome if Michael will play his part and then go with the split screen with nick's part

[@mikuhatsune8275]

right

[@Annsrrone]

Powerful riff and solos

[@Sirtmen]

Where is solo in tab?

[@KeshikS2C]

Nick, you kick ass bro!

[@gag7236]

Nice Sweep technique man awesome

[@Haoshira]

Quel monstre ce Nick Cordle :')

[@paulbourgault2923]

Grave J'ai un truc à dire VIVE ARCH ENEMYYYYYYY !!!

[@J4FBLACKSIDE]

Lunostra ta raison 👍

[@Iv-Rep]

Perfect solo! :D

[@godofwar0678]

That sweep was as fast as my father was when he left

[@gurdittsingh6638]

My father is just like the bassist in this video

[@ermguitar2052]

lol I'm at 120 BPM, still trying to learn that part. 35 more to go

[@jasonstallworth]

Love it!!!

[@guitarpro]

Thank you Jason 🤘

[@sevdrakegavial]

That's what you call a lesson?

[@shadowedhidevr4786]

To edit my previous reply, yes, it's only one of two guitarists so it`s a play through of one portion of the song. The rest is where digging through tabs and such comes in. Either way, it's so far helped me a ton. Enough of a lesson for me. Honestly, 99% of why I watched this vid was for the whammy bar bits. Intimidated at first, then had other sources to help understand how that works.

[@juanjoseparra9566]

Man, I would call this "how to have no self esteem in 1 easy step"

[@kowxley1793]

You get to watch what the guy plays, I literally learned the whole song from this video.

[@search895]

You can slowdown the KZbin video or stop it everytime you need it. Seeing one guy just putting the fingers in the right place is better and faster than tabs or ear guessing. Just try the speed up or slow down option.

[@WolfGangTaco]

take it from a guitarist who learnt this song by ear bro, i was very close but watching him play i see ive been playing some notes in the wrong positions, so yes if you are experienced enough a video like this is better than any proper lesson you'll find anywhere else :)

[@yigitcem9893]

Damn this guy has 10 feet tall fingers honestly

[@saadsnake6]

Nick cordle is the reason I started listening to arch enemy,it's a shame that he left

[@kolyosikokolyosikov7044]

Jeff Loomis is better, ha

[@parkerdavidson5868]

Even if Jeff is better, which I don't necessarily agree with, Nick is far more tasteful

[@ShredmasteRsl3]

AMAZING!!

[@moocow2oo426]

I was really hoping for a lesson. I am a noob at guitar still but I want to play music that I like.

[@Dez0rdre]

WOW!!! Awesome!! I like Arch Enemy and Nick Cordle is a Fucking AMAZING Guitarist!!!!! :O

[@5urg3x]

Anyone have an accurate tab for the run at 3:17? I can't seem to figure it out. I know the scale and key but I can't seem to decipher how he's picking it and what notes are played in what order.

[@5urg3x]

Nevermind -- I eventually figured it out! Gonna make a cover soon.

[@etherlords88]

This is no lesson, this is more like guitar cover!

[@Madbutcher305]

Arsis lead guys seem to be cut from a different cloth. Both Nick and Brandon Ellis really did some awesome solos in the other bands they worked with

[@gavphil3383]

Great cover.

[@rsd338]

nice thanks...great sound

[@JoaoAntonio-qf9xq]

Toca muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito!!!

[@ags5696]

Too bad I don't have a floyd rose. Just a standard tremolo. I tend to play Michael's solos.

[@IvanChernenko]

Grant Stoutenburg You are a lead guitarist?

[@Rickswars]

DAM!!!!

[@xX0UndegrounD0Xx]

Toca bien vergas este cuate o.o casi a nadie les sale tan limpios los solos cuando hacen una demo... Y el hasta los armónicos y todo.... Woooooow

[@METALPLUSGAMING]

WHERE IS THE 1ST SOLO AND 2ND SOLO TAB?

[@James0208]

there's no tab for solos.. it's just for rythm parts

[@jeanmichelromero540]

Nick Cordle is much better Loomis !!! Sweep picking is so perfect !!!

[@teosaksida6543]

JEAN MICHEL ROMERO Cordle is a very good player, but Loomis is leagues above.

[@kowxley1793]

Loomis is a better guitar player, though I like Cordle's writing a lot more.

[@fukoff666]

Bad ass!

[@d0ct0rsandy]

Tell me, please, where I can take a backing track of this song for guitar (with vocal - same as your)? Thanks in advance for your reply!

We need all songs gp files. Also we need solo parts as well. The more song you release the more fan became. Every headbanger wants to play these awesome riffs and solos. But there is no source for notes. The notes on internet generally wrong. We need officially released tablatures. \m/

Dean VMNT con tremolo de Floyd Rose

Does anyone know what happened to Nick?

[@jbc09]

oh ye lololol This is what I wanted Awesome 오 예 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 내가 원하던게 이거야 끝내주는군

[@f1amezof]

What is this tune? It's definitely not C Standard.

[@f1amezof]

3:28 seems like this part is impossible to play without active pickups. I get very muffled and quiet sound here. And Nick even almost don't touch strings with mediator.

[@rustinpeace-tt8gx]

Not true actually, because Nick has passive pickups on that Dean guitar. He is doing 3 string sweeps but while starting on the highest string he is duing hammer on and pull off instead of picking every note. Search for legato lesson on youtube to strenghten your fingers and add a little more distortion to your tone, it might help with that.

[@kukumuniu5658]

Nocturnus - Alter Reality please....

[@enzocordle4272]

Someone could tell me what kind of Dean Guitar he use?

[@drugjoza5000]

Enzo Cordle Its like a Mustaine VMNT but with a tremolo, just try to search "Dean VMNT Tremolo" and you'll find what you need.

Whats the amp hes using? jcm800? what else, and what pickups? and strings?

[@snakeTDgameLNERfan]

+chazzy licks its quite interesting, both Nick and Michael used stock Dean pickups rather than a big name brand. he was a marshall user, not sure what strings tho

sergio andres guevara diaz Yogen Grg I don't know about Nick, but he probably uses something similar to Michael, Michael uses 59, 44, 32, 18, 15, 11 gauge.

no, only rythm

but why if it's official tab on disk so they should upload solo tab too

[@James0208]

well i don't know if the tabs that come along with the album have the solos , but this tab for war eternal it doesn't

[@James0208]

yes, the tabs don't have the solo ... and also as i know You will know my Name is in B standard i think

***** woah, didn't knew.. they didn't used that tuning since Burning Bridges :)

[@stephandevries5069]

Really bad muddy tone. I'm afraid that with the departure of Christopher the quality of writing has also gone downhill, compare this to like Doomsday Machine and judge yourself. Time to step it up again.

[@frankeller1708]

That's just your opinion but if you understand how metal is then you would know it just progresses, you may think it's downhill because your not a true fan.
