Nik Nocturnal Hell Yeah! Now that’s what I’m talking about.😀Power metal all day Nik. My favorite metal band of all time and you did a cover of one of their songs. Awesome dude. Hey it’s definitely the best guitar cover you’ve done yet. I know there are some nostalgic ones like the Linkin Park cover, Killswitch Engage cover or Breaking Benjamin cover for that matter. No matter what songs you chose from those bands, as long as you do what you can do then it should be no problem for you man. Awesome job Nik. Keep on rocking.🤘How about the Kings Of Metal by Manowar next time you do a guitar cover?

[@luiseduardocuapantecatlvar9770]

I admire you

[@QueenFrisky]

Holy shit you actually did it. Congratulations on 1000 on twitch. Also congratulations on covering this beautiful and tedious song. I hope your fingers aren't hurting too much. Get some rest my guy. Much Love, Alex. Edit: Can you do a cover of Infinite Eyes by Darkest Hour? Or Futurist by of said band? Both songs have a beautiful solo (one of them was featured on your "Sickest Solos: Drop A#" video. That's how I found this band.

I feel like once you practice the techniques enough it's more-so remembering the song and finger placements for tricky parts rather than having to learn every technique bottom-up trying to cover the song, which is what most beginner guitarists do instead of practicing their technique lol. His picking hand and fretting hand are so eco that I'm sure playing fast isn't really a problem for him. He wastes such little space moving between notes it's just natural for him.

Aaron Wells As a musician. The Doo has a piano background. It shows in his vids. He has the music theory and it shows when he plays guitar(after playing piano). I never started on piano and I wish I did cause I know so many great musicians who did and they shred on guitar. Now Nik on the other started on guitar, and knows music theory(or from what I can tell at least). A guitar battle would be amazing between them 2 but I wouldn’t pick a fav cause they come from different music backgrounds. Eddie Van Halen stated he(and his brother Alex) played piano when they were younger. Please don’t take this as me “I know more than you”. I hope it was a helpful insight to music.

So much respect. I remember being a young guitarist thinking it was impossible and I still fear this.. Amazing Nic.

[@Tigerpow]

Oh my god he actually hit my favorite guitar solo ever and did it perfectly, you get an extra like from me

[@_ra1n]

When I saw the notification my heart stopped and I just thought "no way". After watching this, I'm still thinking "no way".

[@perrinsmith3019]

Gonna need Nik and Cole Rolland to duet this now

[@stephenstrader1577]

Someone tag this to Herman’s Twitch for a reaction video... Definitely a f*****g feat, props man! You officially don’t need to cover anything else 🤘🏼

[@isaacazzopardi]

idk how in the world i did it. Thanks to u i learned at the age of 13. Ive been practsisng day and night for a whole month. Thankssssss

[@ekarobbyanto5702]

18 hours to learn the whole song... Me:48 hours just to learn the intro

[@andrewpadilla3168]

This deserves AT LEAST a million views because you nailed this BRILLIANTLY.

[@wob6776]

Well he did have a lot of splices in the second half of the song

[@saltyshrimppasta]

Wob Yeah but like...can you blame him

[@dodgemadria956]

Nick's relieved face when playing that C power chord after the solo lol

[@JRv300c]

Man!! Dragon force gives me goosebumps every time I hear that rift 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeremyyost78]

Omfg nick you straight killed that!!! Best cover I’ve seen!!

[@oa6861]

I was just watching a video about Friedrich Nietzsche opinions about God being dead and what not but then saw that Nik Nocturnal released this which im sure proves Nietzsche wrong

[@MinusLife]

8:34 Me whenever I fail this song on a plastic guitar 😂 Fantastic cover man! 🔥

[@OfficiallyMasky]

I got an ad for muscle pains at this time stamp

[@JonnyGoodwood]

From this old man's opinion, I've always considered Nik to be very good...now I realize he is elite. And for anyone that doesn't play guitar, this kid not only somehow did this but managed to morph two guitar players into one...fucking impressive!

[@justenbeashel]

There you go, all these years I just figured the intro was a tapping section, never thought to look at a live video or cover or tabs haha

[@assihovde2358]

What

[@DiscontinuedChannelOne]

Well the intro isn’t tapping but It’s played on acoustic on the studio version

[@yannizo]

I don't hit like on a lot of videos on KZbin but damn, this one deserves a love button.

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank you!

[@Migxs01]

Let's go, finally

[@joegoddard9661]

Makes me appreciate Herman’s guitar writing skill wtf🤯well fcking done on getting this so cleannnn🙌🙌

[@Reptarizo_gloko]

When your V-neck looks more like a U-neck, thats when you know its half washed. Try Downy fabric conditioner!

[@nathanrego1526]

Trueee

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

Lmao don’t read the bottle so closely we all love Dragonforce and nerdy shit but even Professor Frink knows it’s fabric ‘softener’

[@Dampishcar123]

Stephen j it’s a reference to a commercial

[@anthonyidk861]

I’m weak 😂😂😂

[@erikback3144]

This song will always be a classic 🔥

[@philenyoup2372]

Props out to you lad not an easy song for even the most experienced players to play

[@iPlayDrums4You]

Absolutely incredible on so many fronts! Amazing job!

[@djroastbeef1]

Really great cover! The tabs add a really cool element to the video.

[@RedWolfSTMA]

actually God tier what the fuck...Nik has ascended

[@kanekidlamini4247]

You know, Nik single handedly commanded the true force of the great dragon in this video, well done mate
