Licks and Tricks with Teemu Mäntysaari

[@TheVithael]

This guy really knows how to play... Especially, that he is constantly playing some TRICKY parts :D

[@ToastedCigar]

Teemu is an unbelievably good guitarist. He makes it look so easy, but when you try these yourself it's a fucking pain in the ass to even play them fairly.

[@ShredEx1120]

4:21 I've seen some pretty gnarly covers of it, but when he plays it himself for real, I literally just drooled all over my keyboard. Wonderful

[@JesterSam75]

And that's 8 years ago...listen to him now \m/

[@BobcatMcBobbins]

Congratulations Teemu on being the newest member of Megadeth!!! Looking forward to seeing you on tour. Amazing playing my friend. 🔥🎸🎵🎶❤️

[@jpercario21]

so umm that was pretty tricky

[@tylorcaruth]

i hope Teemu never leaves Wintersun

[@user-iq2oq8ol6z]

I hope so too but he's a good player he deserves to be in a band who plays live regularly :/

[@Lightnings]

screaming trees Sure he deserves it, but he obviously prefers Wintersun - it's his passion

[@HiGuys-lg6id]

yea man coming from 2024 and teemu is in megadeth

[@DennisTrovato]

Teemu's confidence in his English skills has improved greatly over the past 8 years.

[@JesterSam75]

Of course, and it's probably his 2nd of 3rd language...so pretty well even then :)

[@zarasamo]

Think having plenty of international students has helped!

[@martonkuklis408]

I've never seen/heard better sweep picking than the Wintersun guys do, they are simply amazing.

[@ilikevideos4868]

Teemu must have *THE CLEANEST* sweeps in the world.

[@chrisking6695]

Dude I'm telling you it's the sharp picks. Teemu is very clean but the picks make sweeps sound IN YOUR FACE.

[@izydizy4981]

the finnish accent is strong :D great licks !

[@Arzgah]

Yeah, very cute haha.

[@jglitch0]

Has anyone seen these guys live his hair flows so majestically i dont know why its always flowing back it looks fucking awesome

[@pantweasel]

They have fans in front of them during the show.

[@edithvasquez6475]

I know, right? I have seen them live too

[@Mattseak]

It's a Sayan thing. You know he gathers energy while playing and his hair starts flowing.

[@Premdus]

He is like a real life version of Toki Wartooth =D

[@carliiuxiiz]

Love how he says they're difficult and tricky to play while he just nails everything perfectly 🤣🤣🤣

[@rembo96]

The part he played from Time is one of my favorite on the whole album, I love how melody seems to float up and down, so beautiful.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

You know its good playing when it sounds as smooth as MIDI

[@nathalylearmonth6793]

omg he's so shy and beautiful and talented, I want to cry

[@nd011]

Awesome guitar player, and so is Jari. I love this band!!!

[@anthonystark9390]

"so that. was. pretty tricky" is on par with when petrucci said "So I was at 200. Let's say that was difficult" or later when petrucci goes to like 220 bpm, is totally nailing it then fake fails and goes "that was very difficult".

[@teemunator]

He has become one of my favorite guitarist to follow. Cheers

[@roflswamp6]

My favorite guitarists are always 🇫🇮

[@fredriksk21]

"So umm.. that was pretty tricky" Yeah..

[@deceiver927]

I just started playing guitar, man... i have a long fucking way to go...

[@LubadPT]

+Scum Destroyer try to use a metronome from the beggining. I didn't and I regret it everyday. It helps a lot! Dont be so hasty on playing fast. Respect your pace and improve your relation with the instrument. Cheers!

[@emilelocas5496]

practice non stop youll get there :)

[@azazulsoulmeister7959]

look up the bst excercises nd decide on ones to do consistently everyday. Dont just do random stuff all over the place. Also, dont just practice the things you find cool, practice everything for the style you want to play. vibrato, hammer ons/pull offs, legato, chord changes, alternate picking etc. I recommend looking up Steve Stines lesson videos. cheers.

[@athrasher4160]

2:59 Those who have tried to play almost any Amon Amarth song will relate.

[@duzao7667]

Yeah bro. I was to say that when I noticed your comment down here xD

[@user-iq2oq8ol6z]

He's so cute I'm dying

[@jamescontactyelena]

So cute to see such cute wintersun guys going shy!

[@fatherlandchild2780]

wtf

[@atteljas]

He will be very soon in the cover of guitar magazines

[@MauroPerasso]

I'm actually impressed that he uses .11 strings... those are THICC, but hard to bend.

[@austintyler8567]

But if it's a whole step down it's essentially a .09 gauge. Which isn't bad at all. You needs its fors tones

[@thelastvigil111]

It's the tension that would make them difficult to play, especially at that 25.5" scale length, if he was in E tuning. But it's perfect in drop C which is a whole step down and the low string Another whole step down. He doesn't need them for the tones, he needs them to maintain a minimum amount of tension at that lower tuning.

[@babackd.6485]

just tricky? that was seriously difficult to play. great job

[@MikkoRantalainen]

With Jari being such a perfectionist, they have to design the songs so that they can still perform those live without any mistakes. You cannot make songs so hard that you only get it right barely once in studio.

[@joseluiscastillo4730]

Behold the manta ray

[@mutilasijelangkungmelodeat2286]

Lol that username 😂

[@GeoffSaari]

thank you !

[@vimtyr1181]

i've gottuuuh

[@chrischoir3594]

What studio is this in?

[@joseluiscastillo4730]

The solo at 4:19 it's from 5:46 in Time

[@Nulenlatin]

I think it's a shame that the final arpeggio ( 4:20 ) is so faint in the album version. I mean, it's great, I've listened to Time quite a lot of times and I had hardly ever noticed it...

[@Lightnings]

Nulenlatin Yes, it is sad. But that's because Jari didn't have the resources to record the guitars on Time I perfectly sounding and had to record inside his apartment often too (which was complicated as he has neighbors etc). Therefore he turned the volume of the guitar tracks down in the songs. (He said this in an interview)

[@gabrielarcanjogarcanjo4387]

Tabs or Score of the Sweep solo?

[@WintersunForever]

On the parts in the sons of etc riff isnt he sweeping when its three consecutive up or downstrokes? I slowed it down and i don't see him alt picking on those parts.

[@Lightnings]

WintersunForever 'Sons of etc' made me laugh pretty hard

[@DarthWinterMadness]

The editing is really frustrating but he is indeed using alternate picking. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@UnholeyCHeese]

Haha it's funny cause their label is nuclear blast

[@blackoceanviking7789]

What pickups did he say he had I couldn't quite understand?

[@GuitarGodsUnite]

I saw an interview the other day and he use bareknuckle

[@eriknieuwenhuijzen4072]

dikke like! thumps up...

[@uragonertoo1335]

Tabs ?

[@dogmerkartwheel-fartback-w715]

the Finnish accent makes me laugh...idk why. Such a great player though.

[@SugarHoneyIcedTee]

tabs for the sweep solo please !!

What pickups use?

[@Mrsambuman]

+Yonatan Perez Bareknuckle aftermath

[@wookieschnitzel7595]

Wow his effortless is beyond my potential.... Maybe it's good "I can't even"...

[@MrPabsify]

Did he just fucking changed pickups while sweep picking? Jesus Christ

[@z1xy273]

What's the first song name? I cannot understand what he says when introducing the song at ~ 2:00

[@SinisterSauce]

Sons of Winter and Stars, by Wintersun

[@chrisking6695]

Dude is insane. I tried 11-56 in d standard....The tension on the wound strings is over way over 20lbs with this set. I get zero sustain on my cheap Jackson with that amount of tension.

[@liamflynn6929]

Sounds like a setup issue. Headstock layout affects tension too. This is drop c as well

[@chrisking6695]

@@liamflynn6929 Yeah I think it depends on the action as well. The lower the action the looser it will feel even though it’s not necessarily looser.

[@aaaaaaaaaa2303]

What is the meaning of the kanji on the neck??

[@antoinelecubin]

Time ;)

[@davypedro819]

Music name? [4:21]

[@mihailkondov4773]

It's from time, about 8 minutes in, where the text goes "аnother year has come but nothing has changed in my entire life"

[@AnnihilationXable]

Davy Pedro time solo by wintersun

[@musicX13Xfreak]

Marry me please Teemu

[@kanervatie]

I was straight, but after seing his great persona, I'm not so sure anymore. I mean the guy plays for a childrens heavy metal band, I mean c'mon!! Can it get anymore cuter than that?! :D

[@YaoEspirito]

Super-gimmicky camera effects; really intrusive.

[@hk3766]

Miksi minä itken ku sää soitat noita "vaikeita riffejä"? Siksi koska tajuan etten ikinä tule pystymään samaan. Piste. Ja mua vituttaa että laitoin tän kommentin tänne, koska se osottaa mun heikkouteni. Silti... Noh... Hyvä että teitä lahjakkaita on olemassa

[@jamesrockford2626]

good but very cliche'

[@kanervatie]

Your turn to shine.
