Thank You for having me @fortinamps! 🙏 Loved playing through the Evil Pumpkin! 😍 Congrats Mike, Jason and team for making another killer amp! 🤘

[@killertone]

so happy to meet you and hear your incredible playing!

killertonetexas Likewise! ❤️🤘

[@sega.milkis]

Teeemmmuuu! Love your videos with Troy Grady! Your technique, precision and musicality are unbelievable

[@FortinAmps]

Thanks for playing! So great hearing you shred brother!

@@killertone you guys BOTH are like the SPECIAL FORCES of tone.Do an album together you'll probably scare the shit outta isis

[@SinghStrings]

He is always so relaxed while playing these incredibly brutal riffs. True master!

[@iina6106]

I'm glad that Teemu is having a vacation with Megadeth 😉

[@thorwulfx1]

The technical difficulty of playing Battle Against Time, stripped down and guitar-foremost, is astounding. Teemu is one of the most economical and unflappable players I've ever seen. He just flattens parts that make normal players wake up screaming in the night.

[@Agnes135]

It's a really hard song to play, tried learning myself but gave up

[@kookoo9235]

@@Agnes135 It's actually pretty easy if you just want to play the notes, getting the accents right is a fucking nightmare though.

[@floriansalinas7299]

And now imagine you composed those parts and play it while singing.

[@blackdahlia6282]

Exactly dude

[@kinglord5163]

its a legit decent song but kinda boring and not worthy to play and learn for me atleast

[@shooweri3666]

He's incredible guitarist but also very good guitar teacher. I'm very honored that I've been able to get lessons from him for few years. He completely transformed my playing and how I approach practicing guitar!

[@classicshades]

Wish I could afford lessons from him..until then KZbin to the rescue🤘🏼

[@ChristianVirial]

I love that this really is live, no editing, no tricking. It makes the video as thrilling as watching a live show!! Playing: 10, Sound: 10

Thank you for endorsing Teemu! he deserves more visibility, makes me very happy seeing him at NAMM and with such a great brand!

He’s with Megadeth on the big stage now!

[@corycourtney8923]

Sounds absolutely sick. The way it just sits perfectly in this mix is outstanding.

Man, Teemu was at the booth just ripping heads off! One player you definitely feel stupid being around as a player! LOL! Killer stuff. Effortless player.

Just epic! Player and amps!

That's fantastic!!

Great Composure, Teemu!

Such a great guitarist! Fortin amps are one of the best.

[@FortinAmps]

Teemu is incredible! Glad you enjoy!

I thought the evh 5150 was the shit but,evh is obi wan and FORTIN is DARTH VADER & GODZILLA!!!!

[@zaphy6342]

What an absolute god and the amp sounds great too

[@teguhadiw]

I can spend all day only to watch his right hand picking technique

[@ragecandy]

I remember ages ago when I discovered Imperanon I thought it was for sure one of those studio bands that couldn't play their own songs, like there was no way but damn Teemu is actually insane, so glad he ended up in wintersun

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Also, Jari himself probably taught Teemu a lot.

[@h8breed3r31]

I was being lazy just now until I watched this video again and now I feel inspired and motivated. I'mma go learn this song right now lmao

[@arpitrabha8955]

Even if I practice for 9 lives I'll never achieve such ace skill playing

[@dracohimself]

great video, really interesting to hear to guitar more pronounced than on the record itself and see how versatile the main riff of this song is and how many variations it has

[@gunslinger80sguitars]

That was killer🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@drvicisko]

Teemu is an absolute MONSTER player! \m/

Thanks

[@akaramirez1]

This song sounds way better on this tuning imho

[@dillardfilth8933]

It looks even harder to play than I thought it would

[@JesterSam75]

Battle against time.

[@eddynoir676]

Bringing the muricans the legendary finest finnish folk metal amidst all the new djentlemen at NAAM. Teemu should go "Welcome to the forest, my children". He was already sick during his Imperanon days. Totally underrated.

[@johanjohn6426]

I love this comment

[@MegaJiiRo]

I saw the time and was like "has to be battle against time". Amazing piece of music

[@colemartin5749]

These amps sound AMAZING \m/

[@MrCasquenoir]

He did that on purpose to prove it wasn’t a playback.

[@danielepenida]

Are those Teemu Ibanez models customized? They look like Solar guitars with Ibanez logo.

[@AUM_-po9sc]

This guitar originally was a stock Ibanez, Jake Bowen's signature model (JBM) specifically. Teemu sent it to a luthier named Kaur Kukkur in Tallin, Estonia, who basically turned it into a different guitar with Teemu's specific modifications.

[@danielepenida]

MEGADETH

[@blackdahlia6282]

I haven't seen a player like teemu,technically untouchable,his picking technique is out of this world, extremely difficult to play

[@yourDeath86]

Maybe too much medium frequencies for Jari's tastes? XD

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Jari is just oldschool:D

[@user-mc9zb9hw4d]

This guitar player I’m so glad he’s in Megadeth. But more and more I’m finding these amazing guitar players playing this type of music, and this music doesn’t inspire me to take a shit much less inspire me to go to the front of the battle lines and fight to the death. I’m saying is thank God he’s in Megadeth.

[@Ballovirta]

Is that a floating bridge ? With tremolo

[@aripaananen41]

No, it is an Evertune bridge...www.evertune.com/shop/bridges.php

Jari will not give him away:D

[@kookoo9235]

Lol, that would be a BIG downgrade for Teemu. To go from playing Wintersun stuff to playing that simple stuff would be a disgrace.

[@salkynsuuguitarraqua]

He would not accept, cause he is very finnish guy and loves his home)))

[@FIRChristian]

@@kookoo9235 Downgrade? Not really. One of the biggest metal bands of all-time, he'd have a little bit more creative freedom and one annual paycheck would be more than he's made in all of Wintersun combined.

Why didn't the guy in the back just move away while filming? Maybe afraid of internet? Teemu rocks still.
