Hey guys !! Check out my new video with my new Schecter Banshee Mach 🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYScoYaHZ9mkp8k

[@GREENMTGENE]

Florian Merindol quick question, I’m left handed and my options are a schecter or an Ernie ball jp, so many schecters to choose from. Any advice

[@djaboda]

Я не понимаю кто мог поставить дизлайки ? Артрит им на обе руки )

[@florianmerindol1360]

@@GREENMTGENE I don't know which Schecter is available in left handed. But I have the SLS elite, the Banshee Elite, the Banshee Mach and the Nick Johnston signature and all kickass !!!

[@Reaper337755]

Man I love that tone! Anyway you could share what amp/cab model and EQ settings you use??

[@belles1835]

I came interested in the guitar, left loving the song. Nice job.

[@florianmerindol1360]

Thank you 😊🤘

[@brianlucy8680]

Reminds me of Jason Becker and Marty Friedman. Those were some really clean sweeps.

[@florianmerindol1360]

Thanks !!!! 🤘🔥

[@Markleadguitar]

Yeah, on that first set of bends I hear Marty Friedman. He's big on playing the expected note 1 step flat and bending up, big Marty vibes here.

[@HeavyInstinct]

That was literally one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. As someone else stated, I came here interested in the guitar but instead discovered one incredible guitar player. I will definitely be checking out more of your stuff.

@@florianmerindol1360 I know this may sound sick, but after watching your video I decided that this is the guitar that I need. I ordered it and got it yesterday. This guitar is just a beast! Thank you, man! I hope to see more of your videos

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

All aces man!!! Impressively expressive. The perfect mix of skill and emotion. That is the absolute highest compliment I could give another guitarist. Outstanding!

[@florianmerindol1360]

A very big thank you man 🤘

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

@@florianmerindol1360 I think I can hear your influences, possibly Vinnie Moore and Steve Vai, and a host of others. The up one/down the next arp slide thing is where I hear the Vai, and the accuracy of your sweeping sounds like Moore. Great tone from that Helix too. I have that same guitar, but with a Sustainiac in the neck position. We share the same influences as well. But I'm nearly as old as they are. Keep on shredding Bro, we're a dying breed.

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

@@florianmerindol1360 Also, what is the pick you're using?

[@florianmerindol1360]

Haha you have right I listen some Steve Vai but no Vinny Moore ^^ My arpeggios are inspired by Jason Becker for example 🤘 My pick is a "Riki Plectrier" a French pick maker :)

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

@@florianmerindol1360 You should listen to Vinnie Moore, you'll love his playing. He's the cleanest player I've ever heard.

[@syaheer8689]

What a monstrous guitar playing. Made it look very easy. Holy

[@florianmerindol1360]

Thanks bro 🤘🤘🤘

[@ozan.arslan]

Wow! What I have stumbled upon here! Only 219 subs? You must be new in this KZbin game. Otherwise you would have thousands of them. This is a job well done. I'm purely in love with your Schecter SLS as well!

[@florianmerindol1360]

Thank you man!! Yes I don't have a lot of subs ^^ you can share to remedy the problem lol!! In any case thanks again 🤘

As others have said, I came to this video after searching for the guitar itself, but stayed and will come back for the playing. I'm not normally one who digs noodling for the sake of noodling, but this was not that. Great playing, great emotion, great tone.

[@jarosawt5167]

Hi, Among other things, your video convinced me to choose a guitar, I just bought this schecter and I'm very happy. I really like the sound of your guitar on this track. Could you tell me the settings you used to get this sound? I'd be even happier. I'm looking for a nice sound but so far I haven't been able to get anything meaningful.

[@angrychivafan]

Still can’t get used to the FR tremolo system. Can’t decide whether to get the hart top or FR.

[@emrearslan6572]

That ending :O

[@MonsieurMind]

🔥

[@Andrew-no2ds]

I have the Same guitar but can’t find out how to get the whammy bar in. Simply pushing it in doesn’t work

[@florianmerindol1360]

Ok, maybe it's the little screw you have on the base of the hole? It serves to tighten or release the whammy bar.

[@devourerofthots5598]

What genre would consider this, i could hear a fantasy twist to it, which complemented the solo well

[@ripe12345667]

Sounds like it's inspired by power metal to me. The genre has a few different sounds, but dragon/mythic/fantasy themes are very common. Check the band Blind Guardian (super ubiquitous power metal band, more fantasy) and albums like "Apex" by Unleash The Archers (less fantasy) or "The Metal Opera" by Avantasia (more fantasy). Hope this helps your search

[@florianmerindol1360]

I don't know, I don't listen to this kind of music. To this song my influences are maybe Jason Becker or Marty Friedman 🤘

[@creedbratton716]

Hey man, I really like the guitar and am thinking about buying it. The only thing holding me back is that floyd rose 1500 series. is the tuning stability an issue? the overall durability of it as well I hear is not very good. I'm just interested to see your opinion seeing as you own and have played the guitar.

[@matts8708]

Hear a lot of Friedman's non diatonic bending going on in the beginning. cool!

Wow amazing playing.I fell in love with that twisted sweep picking arpegios.I have a question if u don.t mind.Is the guitar worth and is it versatile ?

[@florianmerindol1360]

Thanks !! My opinion is this guitar is very comfortable and it sounds good in many different styles. The active pickups make it excellent for metal and shred but they can also make beautiful cleans. We can split them :) I would say that it is not suitable for funky styles or jazz ^^
