Symphony X - A Fools Paradise (FULL GUITAR COVER WITH SOLOS)

Buy my new album here: ristridi.bandc...
Finally! A Fools Paradise in all its glory. What a bitch of a song.

[@zoopdiwop]

7 years later, and it's still an excellent cover.

[@jhl248]

Amazing cover! I can't fathom how much effort was put into this, but my humble hearing still delights from your muted cords, precise picking and tapping while playing this song. Just brilliant!

[@NRS375]

Dude that is clean as hell, unreal work! I'm seeing this is 7 years old. Still, this was a great cover.

[@bestboy897]

u can't go wrong with michael romeo's playing what an underrated guitarist

[@xzex2609]

I don't know who rates who but most of serious guitars players in the world have a great deal of respect to his technique at least , he is the only one that actually push him self in his albumes with enourmous steps of advacement. I as a 40 years pusher really am amazed myself.

[@breeze298]

Outstanding... Absolutely outstanding! O_O

Children of Bodom - Kissing the shadows!!

[@tarkus1056]

I can see the hours of hard work put into this, and the result is terrific!! Keep up the good work!! I see you like Coroner, Vektor, Forbidden and stuff. Could you recommend some Tech Thrash bands?

[@ristridi]

worgegramsci105 thanks! In fact, these are really the only 'tech thashy' bands I listen to ;)

[@nimahedayati]

excellent playing, Michael Romeo would be proud!

[@mendozakarl]

Watched this a million times. Been a follower for a long time now. Keep it up bro.

[@jarrodgirardin7418]

Dam dude that was awesome, you never fail to impress with your incredible guitar skills, hope the new year has been good to you so far..

[@ristridi]

thx! naah not really, sick for about 3 weeks now but I guess that means it can only get better right? ;)

[@jarrodgirardin7418]

that sucks but like you said it'll only get better from here on, and the three weeks of being sick get you time to nail down A Fools Paradise so that's freakin sweet.

Jajaja minor mistake man, 10 out of 10, great playing!!!!

[@BaltazarQc]

Wow, well done man! do you have any compositions you could share?

[@ristridi]

Thanks! I'm working on stuff from time to time, but I never really feel like it's meant for the public yet ;) I'm a bit too perfectionist I guess.

[@承瑜]

cool!

[@languafe4111]

Your rhythm playing is rock solid halfway through the song and then you just NAIL the solos as well? Especially the tapping. Very wholesome with the small mistake at the transition back down to the original key in the section that follows. This is really one take isn't it? Freaking amazing dude. Hope you are well, I realize the video is 5 years old. Damn 👍😊

[@michelenes]

Very very good job. CAN you share the tabs? Thanks a lot!

[@michelenes]

Very very good job. CAN you share the tabs? Thanks a lot!

[@AlexRodriguez314]

hey man, great job on everything, technique, speed, accuracy and cleanliness. By the way, do you have the tabs for those Symphony X songs?

[@VintersorgErp]

Great!!!, where you find the tab???

[@angelgalvan7964]

Amazing!!!! Bro, what gauge of strings do you use?

[@DeepMakeUpAddicted]

Great \m/

[@papaveneti7759]

Just AMAZING!!! i have a quick question though, did you start on classic guitar and then learned electric guitar ?

[@ristridi]

PapaVeNeti I suck at classical guitar ;)

[@papaveneti7759]

Aaa, ok!! I may start next year electric guitar, cause classical is nice and all, but not enough metal...

[@Ducktapejesus]

Finally! What do you use to get your guitar tone? Great work btw

[@ristridi]

Using a Pod X3 Live. A lot of the sound quality comes from doing the right equalizing and stuff after recording though! It needs to fit the sound of the original mix ;)

[@shinobu9537]

How do you get that tone omfg

[@UlrichVIII]

May I suggest you take a time to listen 'Into The Dragon's Den'? ;D

[@Maverick06723]

😁

[@ristridi]

Smiterbiter My first name is Michael indeed, no joke

[@joseandresramosgiron6444]

Amazing. Its confusing, the song seems to be in c# minor firts and then in c minor, but ends with a ebsus chord, what you think?

[@AlexRodriguez314]

Great work man, do you have the tabs for that song?

[@llaveoceans9893]

genial bro xd

[@M0rph1sm55]

Great cover! Do you like Dream Theater? If yes, you could cover them. Something like Lost Not Forgotten for example.

[@rahulahir7451]

Gatro a DT cover would be amazing
