In Flames - December Flower (guitar cover)

[@Encounterpart]

Allow me to present some of mine own work in the vid description, take a listen if you are so inclined.

[@ItsCliqz]

Dude hit every single note from beginning to end. My god, those fingers are magical.

[@jeanpoincelet]

Well put. That solo has always been a dream solo of mine. So fun to watch someone nail it.

[@alexche1266]

Very clean ,I agree 👍

[@sigiligus]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has used a capo on a 7 string instead of setting up a 6 string for C standard.

[@InfernoSK]

I was about to say what a great idea :D never had a capo so it didnt hit me before :D i always changed tuning of the song in AIMP2 player...

[@S.Grenier]

I also never knew anyone but myself who did so haha, I see you fellow 7 string weirdo 💜

[@endlessdim6150]

Let's be honest we all want to see solo part and make sure that it was played well. Without a doubt this dude did it on 100%.

[@SubiSkill]

That is the best December Flower cover I`ve ever heard! Besides I didn`t know Fredrik Johansson made it, I always thought it was Jesper ;p

[@Encounterpart]

Thank you very much, Fredrik only composed the solo for this song as a guest but to me that is the most exciting part. :) As he did on Through the Virgin Sky by Dimension Zero which I also have a cover of so maybe check it out if you feel like it. Both very, very lovely solos. Pure perfection!

[@SubiSkill]

I live for this part :D

[@SubiSkill]

By the way.. could You make another vid with only solo? I want to put it on my ringtone, and Your`s seem so clean and pure, coz the song is pretty old ;p

[@Encounterpart]

Ro0odney Why don't you try slicing and dicing this video? Download it, convert to audio only and snap the solo out of it. You can do that with the original song as well just so you know but I'm definitely flattered. :)

[@SubiSkill]

Dude, it has been half year since I saw Your cover, and still it`s the first thing I listen to every day I come from work :D

[@PumaPantalones]

That solo, that solo is probably the best I've heard in music and you nailed it. Great job.

[@xXwufeiXx]

god damn that solo gets me everytime . it just doesn't matter how many times i have heard this song . well played , n1 .

[@Encounterpart]

Thank you, sir! I still can't believe how beautiful it is. One of my all time favourite solos for sure.

[@xXwufeiXx]

@@Encounterpart i am really glad that you think like that. in certain part of the solo i think you just couldn't resist the sound and you went with it . hehe . needles to say but it's one of my favorites too ( complete song as well ) . overall masterpiece and you played it very well .

[@charlehpock]

Yep, there's a bunch of solos like this for me in various genres - like Threat Signal - Counterbalance, another solo in that category.

[@asabua]

It's filthy how freaking clean this is... Seriosly... THAT clean.

[@erenjack]

logged in because i want congratulate u bro... best cover on net ..... Period....

[@blackbucciarati]

This is hands down the best cover of the solo I’ve ever heard. Really, really well done.

[@JonnyJungle77]

This is one of the most majestic pieces of music ever made. Right up there with Mozart's compositions. Absolutely beautiful performance man.

[@iamseekingtheway]

So many people have butchered that beautiful solo in their attempts to recreate it, but this is the greatest recreation of the original I've ever witnessed. Thank you for putting in the time and dedication to play it the way its supposed to be heard.

[@RexMachinus]

this is one of the sexiest solos ever

[@EnsBass]

Still watching this! :D

[@rembo96]

AMAZING performance!

[@Encounterpart]

You are too kind.

[@rembo96]

@@Encounterpart You mimicked every little detail of that solo, I've never heard anything like that before. Well done!

[@merctime00]

Why doesn’t this have more views??!! This is unreal!

[@teatime6414]

I've always wanted to learn the solo to this because i think its so good technique-wise and the tone is just so amazing. Next on the list!!

[@shredfactor7]

A forgotten gem of a song on Jester Race album. Awesome job man! Especially the solo. One of the best for sure!! You got my sub. Cheers from Canada

[@DeanoHCGuitar]

Absolutely nailed it! Hands down my favourite In Flames album

[@mortb6584]

Amazing! I've probably watched this fifty times by now. This is as close as it gets without actually being Fredrik Johansson. You nailed all of the small details that other covers are lacking. Really impressive.

[@Encounterpart]

Thank you!

[@ericdeangelis3111]

I never take the time to comment but you killed this I've never seen any one hit the solo so perfectly

[@OmegAtlAnt]

1:24 madness starts

[@pedrodelarocque]

This is not the first time I watch this video right after listening to the original. Worth it every time! Beautifully played, including the solo! 🤘

[@paulseif9734]

This solo... every bend ... GOD

[@sawekjereczek8734]

my fav song, heard Your solo 1000x :)

[@FlavourlessLife]

1:27 Amazing, so beautiful.. well done...

[@maahin5109]

the tone is so good, so is the precision best cover of this song :) take love,brother!

[@chloratum]

Holy shit, you nailed it 100%. Brilliant!

[@patrickhall274]

greatest solo evor. i knew someone could crack it it out and you done it sooooo solid thankyou

[@Encounterpart]

No, thank you!

[@Aegianlulz]

This is literally perfect...I think that if somebody made me listening to this without watching the video, I would just think its the original recording with the guitar a littlebit louder

[@robertomoreno8996]

Flawless cover!!! The solo and riffs are astonishing, thanks so much!

[@Encounterpart]

Thank you, friend!

[@sakian2]

Best cover so far. Every note was so accurate. Hats off bro!

[@The.Dongler]

dude, you KILLED the solo. That was really good. hats off, man!

[@Aernath]

Amazing cover, loved the tone and how easy you make it look (it's NOT!) Respects!

[@sebastianveranavarro4893]

This solo has always reminded me of the music of Megaman, great job bro!

[@askibaronaski123]

That was clean dude..i mean really clean

[@robayre482]

This is the best cover Iv ever seen of this

[@alcovefib]

One of my all time favourite solos, it's just breathtakingly beautiful. Great job Mr.

[@andrewg2998]

This is great!! You nailed the section where you slide down quickly in the solo which lots of people tend to miss.

[@patrickmulcahy697]

yes man you nailed that solo pretty much note for note from the album version, rock on.

[@Encounterpart]

Thanks! :)

[@patrickmulcahy697]

​@@Encounterpart you should try "Fear is the Weakness" i bet you could prolly do it and it has some very smexi riffs imo. but december flower still stands as a favorite solo of mine.

[@dspena82]

More kudos to you for playing it on a 7string! And perfecting the solo

[@stanislavidalgo3661]

best DF cover so far.and i have seen a lot of them :D good job mate,keep on rockin

[@redcorn99]

Man I can play this solo to what I thought was perfect but u showed me a few things I can change. Nice playing my dude 😱

[@Encounterpart]

Thanks a lot sir, I am very happy to hear that!

[@redcorn99]

i pplay 6 string and have many guitars but usually go with my 10th aniversary ibanez jem or prs 10 top love the maple/rockmaple fret boards as well

[@Encounterpart]

@@redcorn99 Very cool! I'd love to give those guitars a shot. :) I only have this one :( but I love it immensely. :)

[@malisal]

[@Encounterpart]

You are too kind!🖤

[@sutemeny79]

Simply beautiful!!!

[@semalfni]

Best cover ever....Please do tell what it's like to be inside in the mind of Fredrik....I 've seen hundreds of tabs for this solo....they all had the first three notes correct...nothing more

[@johnnichols6257]

fuck yea man. so many valiant attempts to cover that solo but you hit every single note. my face melted

[@jaimeagudelo7924]

Ese solo es lo mas bello que ha dado la vida. Excelente interpretación.

[@capik010]

Yeahhh u nail it, nice cover and pretty much thebest for solo part

[@kevinhasselquist]

I came here because of the comment you left on my video. Nicely done sir! Very well played.

[@Encounterpart]

Kevin Hasselquist Rock on! :) Cheers!

[@jeanpoincelet]

Dream solo!

[@schism8286]

JESPER IN FLAMES MELODY! I really miss Jesper; Real In Flames. :(

[@cooker3000]

Right on dude! Hope the new band Halo effect does some old inflames covers so i can hear December flower live

[@hunetele]

Huhh... I'm totally amazed! Nailed it 100%

[@MasterChodda]

[@Asuma492]

So fresh n so clean clean!

[@mnmis]

Great solo, good work!

[@Cody-Red]

very impressive, god damn. hell yeah dude!

[@PinkRabbit910]

best performance of this song on KZbin!

[@gatomaru]

great cover man!

[@EnsBass]

Absolute Fantastic!

[@wellsbibo6175]

You can measure talent on the guitar by how little the person's hands move amongst the chaos. Nice!

[@2Epsionicwizard]

Nice prašenje. I sviđa mi se izbor pjesme! :D

[@KinokoCardano]

This is the best cover of this song on KZbin, no doubt! I’m very curious as to how long it took you to nail it like this please? Thanks!

[@Encounterpart]

The song is fairly simple so I presume you are talking about the solo...days or maybe a couple of weeks, I can''t recall exactly. But before I even started I knew this song is within my ability to play. This does not include years of prior practice.

[@KinokoCardano]

@@Encounterpart thank you for the quick response! I haven’t picked up a guitar in over a decade, but I’ve fortunately/recently acquired a nice sum of money and want to buy a guitar and learn this solo ASAP a long with some other in flames solos. Thank you so much and hope to hear more!!*\(^o^)/*

[@ThyMajesticOne]

Best cover!

[@AlexAces93]

Super nice!

[@KinokoCardano]

R.I.P , Fredrik Johansson

[@Encounterpart]

R.I.P Fredrik Johansson (who used to play in Dark Tranquility, not to be confused with Fredrik Johansson who composed the solo in December Flower - at least that's as far as I'm aware of).

[@KinokoCardano]

@@Encounterpart and the solo in your cover of Dimension Zero - Through The Birgin Sky ! *\(^o^)/*

Awesome cover! What device/app do you use to record yourself?

[@Encounterpart]

Thanks, I use Audacity.

[@indorr]

Excellence

[@rzman2071]

Capo to c tuning straight away...👌!!!

[@Kiwi-zw7te]

All in 1 take, no cuts. Well done bro! But please share tabs for the solo! :)

[@Encounterpart]

I don't have any tabs for this song, I used Amazing Slow Downer to lean the solo. Amazing software.

[@J-Dawg-1]

Great job! What guitar and equipment do you use?

[@Encounterpart]

Thanks! In this vid I use Schecter Loomis with a small Roland Cube amp, Metal Zone and Compression Sustainer, Audacity, one of those small shirt clip on microphones and that's pretty much it.

[@SharkPig_Media]

nailed it? ya killed it man

[@theasdazx]

hocam çok iyi bee! great job buddy. you look a lot like a turkish person btw :D

[@nicoletaylor1304]

AMAZING ENCOUNTERPART! Would you ever do JOTUN? ZOMBIE INC? CLAYMAN?

[@Encounterpart]

Possibly. Turns out I'm quite infrequent at doing these. :)

[@supervillain2482]

Hey man been watching your videos, love your In flames covers. There is a jeff loomis mk1 like yours for sale should i buy it? I ask this because i see you dont play it much anymore.

[@Encounterpart]

If you enjoy seven string guitars, that one of the coolest to be sure. I don't play it much currently because I'm playing on my six string, largely.
