Licks and Tricks with Jari Mäenpää

[@mohaawwkk3163]

This man is a musical genius.

[@2222222278]

I am by no means a religious person but this man is like a god to me.

[@aqqaluolsvig1564]

Finnish people are usually best when it comes to metal.. Jari is like beethoven of metal..

[@MrVepe47]

And Laiho would be the Mozart...?

[@guitarkoala5]

Jari is Bach Alexi is Motzart The Kokko brothers are Beethoven

[@Britishwolf89]

Laiho is an awesome guitarist but he can be so sloppy live. Watch Jari though, he performs Sons of Winter and Stars flawlessly live and that takes some real skill.

[@Patralgan]

I've seen Jari being called "the Väinämöinen of metal", but I guess it makes little sense to non-Finns, but I think it fits him well

[@guitarkoala5]

I'm American and I love The Kalevala! I would love to visit Finland one day - sounds like a beautiful country!

[@pathoffire1217]

Trying to follow that guitar solo nearly put me in cardiac arrest. Jari is just outstanding!

[@maidenaust8238]

Great guitarist. Cool guy. Think I just got a man crush

[@ToastedCigar]

He truly is a guitar god! And I want that tone..

[@nickyounger1368]

Mesa boogie

[@Ballovirta]

There are so many talented finnish guitar players Jari & Teemu- wintersun Roope Latvala- stone , sinergy, bodom Alexi Laiho - sinergy, Bodom Empuu Vuorinen- nightwish Jani - sonata Arctica Timo - stratovarius

[@doomedt-62]

Kokko brothers from Kalmah too

[@willyrosenkrantz8037]

Jari hizo wintersun solo, los demas tocan como jari les pide.

[@alejandrososa1534]

Add Matías Kupianen

[@Himmelsfeuer11]

Jari is a God of finnish metal!!!

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

It's like watching a tarantula crawling over a fretboard. The dude has fingers like Rachmaninoff. :D

[@hessiankyojin]

I imagine the Killer Riff being played in a music video with the band shredding like crazy with the lights flickering on and off like 80s vibes with space effects.

[@amyf7726]

The cuts to different camera angles are maddening. 2:51-3:00 What the hell... The angle changes 11 times in 9 seconds... Half the time the view changes to the back of the neck when surely the whole point of this is to see what and how he plays. 2:40 because everything looks cooler when you film it from behind a box.

[@lmhorigin8018]

Jari is so cute,his spoken voice is sexy , dreamy and adorable. I don't care what other people think.

[@Spjungen]

He's a metal Mozart....simple as that.

[@delpinsky]

I really think if Classical music composers could listen to Metal today, they would appreciate the contamination between Classical and Metal music. Jari for sure knows how to master the strings 🤘

More like Vivaldi. Listen to the live videos of Storm and then listen to Vivaldi's Summer.

[@skjaldulfr]

Behold the power of the Thalmor!

[@Spjungen]

He's too awesome for life...

[@scottsummers6912]

"I'll she you at the sows." I love @WintersunJari

[@motherstar1]

His playing is great. Incidentally though, he sure is bloody cute!

[@Kalmah-ic5nf]

You should see him now. He has also turned into a major douche...

[@Lorelai271]

haha I love the name of the account. hands down ppl Jari is god

[@misaelhenriquez3547]

un muy buen musico y humilde al enseñar... y que siga componiendo excelente guitarrista.dale Jari.

[@DrothBand]

"..We call it killer riff, because its so good." Jari my man, its not good, its like the best riff ever written. 🤘

[@wehttam1461]

Man, I love the 'Time' Solo, fckng love it!

[@DeftCrowMk3]

Considering what's going on right now with Jari, I think your name is appropriate.

[@jamespeterson4275]

So much ego stroking in these comments. Hes one of my favorite metal composers absolutely and has a unique style and vision that is very inspiring But guys Nobody is a god And Mozart is overrated I feel like some of the people who say that dont really listen to classical music Liszt is where its at ;) And Henselt and Duparc and Brahms and Debussy etc

[@Odynn88]

+James Peterson Van Boiler Eladó. If You are not hungarian than Thanks For noticing Liszt.

[@jamespeterson4275]

Dude he is the kinggg. Im interested to check out more of the metal scene of Hungary tho as well because I've only really heard of Ektomorph and I just checked on metallum and it looks like theres SO much more there that people on the outside haven't payed attention to. Im reeeeally liking what I'm sampling from the bands Naturus, Maverick Spirits, The Konstellation, Endless River, Christian Epidemic, The Morning Star, Watch My Dying (apparently the dude from that also has a couple solo metal albums that are IMPOSSIBLE for me to find online), The Exit Wound & Philosopher. :P

[@Arzgah]

Debussy

[@jpmisterioman]

Debussy is terrible. Mozart isn't overrated, that's relative.

[@finmetalwarrior]

Yeah, but. Consider that he's never received proper musical training, yet he's probably the most skilled and talented musician alive. I mean, yeah there's a ton of great guitarists out there, but Jari's compositions are like fast, progressive experimental classical music. He's the only guitarist out there who can create something like that. Like on Time II there's like 90 something keyboard tracks in each song, and every single one is there to do an extremely specific thing. He's the embodiment of perfectionism.

[@guillermogarcia9496]

The Nordic God. Awesome

[@NeoCat1993]

The killer riff is soo fucking hard :/

[@EdgeLord-d4p]

thats why its called the killer

[@TheUltimateBAN]

No, it's the killer riff because it's sou guud.

[@Pedramiica]

Haha true, when a genius writes not just a riff but to be specific a killer riff, it is obviously hard to play ;)

[@Patralgan]

It's so goude

[@Chrille5782]

*Happy 40th Birthday Jari*

[@PJyrstinkangas]

>create a channel called FuckNuclearBlast >upload only Nuclear Blast owned content >think you're helping

[@johnjoe9486]

Jari n teemu greatst ever

[@malditodesgraciado4552]

Master Jari, bring your winter metal to Chile please

[@DaniFilth87]

It's quite a sight to see that Jari barely uses his pinky while playing that fast runs

[@ilikevideos4868]

Same with Laiho

[@bleda7612]

He is awesome!

[@gregzimmer4041]

Jari you INSPIRE

[@morganix007]

Everybody, bow down to this GOD!!!

[@xCannibalxMuffinx]

Ok, now seriously, could this God be more perfect? In every aspect, this is.

[@jamespeterson4275]

Youre the kind of person that potentially gives him a gigantic ego you realize that right?

[@tylorcaruth]

+James Peterson 'fuck up

[@jamespeterson4275]

u wot m8

[@jcheimi4238]

Did you like Time II?

[@benjischober7273]

He's a true nord indeed!

[@MauroPerasso]

[@ilikevideos4868]

[@ilikevideos4868]

[@javiermiranda7728]

[@Himmelsfeuer11]

[@kanervatie]

Do you want them inside you?

@@kanervatie you made me spit my coffee 😂😂😂

[@hiperionhorde9784]

gran musico buena mente para crear el estilo unico de wintersun genial!!!!...

[@Nulenlatin]

At the precise moment when he lifts his eyebrows (1:55), and only at this moment, I thought he looked like an owl and found this funny, nothing more. OK, it wasn't worth a comment.

[@misaelhenriquez3547]

un muy buen musico y humilde al enseñar...

[@markhughes7715]

jari in our language mean s finger,u doing well with dat name hahaaa

[@GeoffSaari]

[@thomizzskate]

[@SaintsCheat]

Are you trolling? lol Those are origs from his band Wintersun. smh

[@somafu9892]

Jari can I marry you please?? No seriously I would sell my soul for only 5 seconds meeting Jari!

[@AnzaShadow]

Great video dude !!!

[@flipmlbb]

1:51 got me 😂

[@barry6646]

So goude!

[@atlas8827]

Maybe he was referring to his vocals. I don't know.

[@DaniloGajic]

One question? what is better to play at the "killer riff" accented notes, with up stroke or down stroke ?

[@DaniloGajic]

thansk mate for opinion, For me is more natural to play with upstroke, because of movement of the hand.

[@NeoCat1993]

I would play them with a downstroke, like a sort of mini-sweep. And because downstrokes feel more natural to me so accentuation is easier. But do whatever feels most comfortable to you ;)

[@ilikevideos4868]

I do upstrokes

[@EdgeLord-d4p]

Vittu Jari !

[@evanstephen300]

Time solo - can anyone think of a Dream Theater solo it is very reminiscent of?

[@zaken6]

nuclear blast sucks :)

[@WhoThenNow7]

it's called licks and tricks, yet there is no explanation on tricks. and I would even be fine with that, if the camera would just stay straight on him playing instead of flashing all over the place. Jari is awesome and one of my favorites, but just a very pointless video- at least to be calling it licks and tricks.

[@ToastedCigar]

+WhoThenNow7 Yeah, I agree. It's a cool video and Jari is my favourite metal-musician, but I hate how the camera is flashing from angle to angle. I can't see a fucking thing!

[@lygfinsolence2837]

i like the name of this channel

[@hyppyrotta71]

I need that Ibanez!

[@MBTops2879]

So... goude. Can I ever get that tone WITHOUT trading my house&car for a Mesa amp?

[@OtakuTeaTime22]

Jari is the shit. Anybody know what tuning this is in? Sounds lower than standard but can't tell if it's C standard or maybe D?

[@AkaBodom]

Drop-C, I reckon.

[@jondejoy5780]

Please come to New York on tour.

[@metalguitarZomg2]

so from finland we have 3 new ways to class metal, winter-metal (wintersun obviously) swamp metal (guess who) and reaper metal, finland is fucking badass!

[@jamescontactyelena]

[@MaxxBR721]

[@Twiggyay]
