[@MS.89]

I never realized the stamina and chops needed to play this song until I learned it myself. My picking hand fell off immediately after I play through the song. Fortunately enough for me, I had my hand replaced with a power drill so I can tremolo pick at 7000 bpm forever!!! \m/

[@TheFlexXMLG]

lmao

[@lordcuddlebuttz3336]

HAHA! im imagining you posting an ad looking for a drummer and in requirements it says “must be able to play at 7000 bpm consistently” 😂

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Man, I know punk is frowned upon in the metal community. But that's one genre that taught me that it's not as simple as you think. Some punk drummer have the stamina of gods to pull off full show. And funny enough, I think black metal as always fallen in this circle of genres that the rest of the metal community just underestimates. But when you try to play them exactly how they were originally played you're left with a: holy shit moment haha

[@chaosclg]

@@manuele.itriagom.728 I used to play in a punk band and the drummers definitely have the toughest job, especially the ones that do backing vocals at the same time, machines!

I think learning something by ear is one of the most beneficial things you can do as a musician. Nothing develops musicianship faster than transcribing a piece that you love. Sure learning to read sheet music and learning theory is super beneficial as well, but ultimately the ear is our most valuable tool as a musician.

[@bkellum89]

Something I need to get better at 😏

[@firebrand9578]

The verse is in Hungarian minor (1 2 b3 #4 5 b6 7) in case anyone was wondering. Playing two minor chords a semitone apart is very characteristic of this scale

[@timwatchesmovies]

Minor nitpick, Hungarian minor has a #7, not a regular 7

[@martinmorales3195]

@@timwatchesmovies 7 is one semitone below the root note, so #7 would be just the tonic. This naming convention is based on the major scale so OP is right.

[@malcolmrff]

Got tabs for that? 🤣

Now it's time to learn Inferno's drum part on the new drumkit! :)

🥵 wew lad, that's gonna be some work. Inferno is up there with the best drummers on the planet, in my opinion

[@lethean333]

seconded!

[@rahulmenon4357]

IMO 90% of Behemoth songs are all about Inferno. He has this very cool atmospheric style, I often repeat songs to hear his use of cymbals.

This really is my favorite series from you! Not necessarily my favorite type of music, but it's pretty interesting to see you tackle stuff like this. You are a great guitarist with a really good ear! More of that, please! :)

[@IllusionaryFuneral]

C# Standard is my favorite tuning to play in, but barely anyone else plays in that tuning, so it always makes me happy when I see big content creators or bands play in C# Standard.

[@berserkshogun3579]

this series brings me such joy, thank you Ola!

[@a.k.4550]

This track is one of my favourites! Glad I got to watch you break it down and put it back together! The shifting time signatures at the start of the faster part of the solo are a nice twist in a relatively straightforward piece.

[@adamtwelve]

This was awesome, loved that you learned the song in half an hour and then played it damn near perfectly. I hope you do plenty more of these videos!

[@farris8503]

Dude this is by far my favorite series you've done, keep them coming! Also I would really like to see you try Opeth in one of these!

[@broncoxy]

Please do more of these! Its really inspiring for me to see other people play stuff, since I have LOTS of songs I want to play but am never able to decide... I listen to CoB for a while now, but only a tribute cover made me actually give it a closer look since it looked like fun and it was... Since you seem to have quite a similar taste in metal as I have, I already found lots of good stuff through your channel! Keep it up! (also already said it, but the new studio looks fireeeee)

[@d1mustaine]

I love these videos. It's really cool to watch your process as you learn these by ear!

[@fircej]

this is my fav series by far, I love this learning process, keep it going Ola!

[@mental_ffvote]

It's so cool to see someone, that I would genuinely consider better at guitar playing than me, learning a song I already can play. Keeps me motivated. Cool video

[@JP123sk8ter]

Saw them live a few years ago and they opened with this, its one of those amazing concert moments you'll always remember.

[@luckyluckyloulou6100]

im lovin your honesty alot...watching u pick out this song iby hear is invigorating...THANKX

[@DeanBaco]

Killer song, certainly a classic in my book! Great work, as always, Ola!

[@RiffDriven]

Totally nostalgic, I spent so much time dissecting songs I wanted to play. The internet wasn’t a thing back then, and guitar mags only had radio friendly songs and Tom Petty tunes. Which was ok for playing bar mitzvahs, but if you wanted to play anything good, you had to wear the tape out pausing and rewinding. Nice to see the traditional way still exists.

[@juanbautistamaciel6767]

God save the tabs

[@fredriksvard2603]

I hated that so much, the assumption among magazines and music stores that classic/blues rock is everything when in reality it's a small niche compared to both metal and pop music. No i don't want the who or tom petty tabs, i want to learn davidian damnit, and no i dont want to try this jackson through a fender amp.

[@elijahloveell8809]

That’s so fucking cool

[@MaaZeus]

Sounds good! Only thing that might need to be corrected is that in the "coolest riff" that you mentioned with the short tremolo picked section you have to let the previous note slightly ring as you go back and forth between the two strings. At least according to my ears. Typical in black metal I think, same has to be done with Satyricon - Mother North in section where you tremolo pick back and forth between two strings the previous note is left to ring and not muted out by lifting your fretting finger.

[@aliskilletman]

What a track! U learned it like a boss man you're the best🔥
