I knew I already heard that solo ! thanks

I was wondering where the hell those lyrics in my head were coming from.

Crazy,

No questions, he is just amazing! Good to see him getting more recognition.

Jari is a fucking genius

Troy Grady Seal of Approval

You’re the best for giving him the platform!

As a Finn myself, a dream would be to see Teemu and Brandon Ellis shred together like Alexi and Roope did back in the day....like Marty and Jason Becker did back in the day...guitar gods.😛 We miss seeing guitar duos that shred well together.

Teemu Vibrato like Jason Becker Vibrato ,very2 Special !...he have more skill pattern & technic like Jason Becker not boring to hear ! Lovely J.S Bach pattern ...Jason Becker Junior is Come now !!!

Troy I like your Floyd Rose Guitar Sound ! It's amazing sound than Ibanez guitar sound to me

Jari Mäenpää - Wintersun school taught him, my friend.

Give Wintersun a listen, Its fast and neo-classical :))

First stop in wintersun: Sons of winter and stars

For sure dude. There are Vids out there where Teemu is kind of explaining his playing style/practice routine etc. And basically he says that the most important thing is to absolutely master the fundamentals. Like completely perfecting his picking technique, super basic hand coordination, stuff like that. Which really isn't super surprising or anything, but for me personally, as someone who recently took up learning guitar, it's pretty encouraging to hear such advice coming from an absolute master like Teemu.

​@@crazyjoedavola7493I've thought about that alot actually haha. Like, what would it be like to have Jari himself teaching you how to play his own material? I can honestly imagine Jari being a fairly shitty teacher. Just because he's such a virtuoso. I mean for Jari, there's really no skill limitation. If he can envision it in his head, he's gonna be able to play it, no matter how tough it is. Where most guitarists might have to contend with issues such as improving their sweep picking abilities, or improving their hand coordination for super fast alternate picking, Jari doesn't really have those same barriers. Not that he never warms up or maintains his fundamentals, but he's just such a virtuoso that all these skills are basically natural and intuitive for him. I mean, imagine trying to explain to someone how to walk, even if that person knows how already. "You just put one foot in front of the other", but that's really no better than saying "you just...do it. You just walk". There's probably a better example than that, but I think it gets the point across. I can totally see Jari trying to explain to Teemu how to play, idk, the "Eternal Darkness" solo, and Jari being like: "OK to play this sweep section is easy, all you have to do is this...*starts sweeping at full speed* " 😂😂

Realmente,n conhecia ele ,com certeza n terá muito problema pra substituir Kiko loureiro!

@@zombiefrogg8542 A band doesn't have to be active or touring for people to enjoy their albums. By that logic you don't think anyone should bother listening to deceased artists?

That first Wintersun album is a goat in the world of technical playing. And they are indeed that clean live. Saw them right before the pandemic.

@@zombiefrogg8542 This is true for 90+% of the greatest rock/metal bands in history, you absolute tourist.

Yeah, Like: You're not supposed to listen to Pink Floyd or Queen, as they don't tour, nor do they release new music..

He is!!! Can't wait for Kiko's return

@@zombiefrogg8542 what?? any source on that one bro?

​@@zombiefrogg8542he's skipping the tour, not leaving the band

Does he teach online? I would be all over that!

@@TheLamboman640 he was during Covid. I’ll ask him.

Did you get to see any of my replies before KZfaq removed them?

I dont sense much soul...

@@bradmettler4566 Michael Schenker still plays with soul after over 50 years. Majority of guitarists is only technical good, but plays without soul.

@@bradmettler4566 It appears to me that Teemu is trying to play the solo note for note the same way it has been performed by Marty previously. That leaves very little for interpretation. I'm sure he could some up with a custom solo if Dave requested him to do so.

@@bradmettler4566 i dont get the whole "soul" argument anymore. it has totally lost its meaning. like back in the day it used to be understandable because of ppl only shredding and not making any meaningful melodies in their soloing and other guitar playing. but nowadays ive seen so many ppl get it that are BOTH amazing shredders and improvisationists. i just feel like its coming from ppl who are just jealous that they wont ever be able to play as good as them.

like making as little mistakes as possible = no soul like i dont get it

And the best Ensiferum lineup of they dig deep enough.

Megadeth fans are 40+ year old men.

Wouldn't the Wintersun audience be younger?

New generation 15 years ago...

ya new gen would be like justin and other member of The Zenith passage. v sick

?

He’s been around for a while

Its day 4. I have them down comfortably at 90bpm

@@elderkirkus Practicing a single lick for this many hours a day isn't very efficient, because muscle memory is mainly consolidated during REM sleep. (I often throw in a practice session for stuff I can't play at the desired speed yet right before going to bed. It works wonders.)

@@rockapartie Those 20 hours weren't in one day, they were across 2 weeks.

@@elderkirkus Oh, since you said day 4, I thought you'd practiced a single lick for 7 hours a day ^^

ya that was all the creation of jari..whose way too much of a perfectionist and wont make anything prolly ever again ha. loved him, but now its like..u gotta know the full story, its nuts. amazing music..but he never puts it out..paid wintersun 50 bucks for 4 tracks. yikes

These guys are totally unknown to mainstream american metal, I always try to bring up the fact that european power metal should be as recognized as british heavy metal or american thrash metal.

LOL

@@diegolatorre6793 European power metal is already pretty big, the Japanese scene deserves some more love. The thing is that power metal isn't as influential, british heavy metal and thrash metal paved the way for a lot of other genres while power metal sort of just ended there. NWOBHM also played a part in thrash and thrash was one of the stepping stones to extreme subgenres like black metal and death metal

Always enjoy when Romeo gets mentioned with the other regulars in shred guitar Ft. Jeff Loomis

Here is tho whole song, written by Jari Mäenpää: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbuIo8WfuZvJcnk.html Jari Mäenpää plays (all) the guitar in this album (and plays everytyhing else too, except the drums. Drums is done by Kai Hahto). Later on Jari wanted to focus more on just singing on gigs, so Teemu took lead guitar role in Wintersun and they hired a new rhytm guitarist. Wintersun is best what t I have ever heard in my life💯🤘👌 and I guess it is quite hard to exceed that, for me anyway.

Ok Bart

Yeah me too LoL 😂

i could play it twice as fast but im concentrating on the kazoo for now

Don't we all. I'm yet to start even playing guitar, but as soon as i grab it in my hands, i'll start with that 😁

Lol

It's cool, Rust is all you need and that's already existed for decades. Dust'er off, throw'er on the stereo, and hit play haha

Albums been great since Kiko joined. This is temporary too :p

​@@warningchimes24 I just can't gel with Kiko's style or sound. I think he's a little too... smooth?

@@pauln6803YES. This is why early Petrucci and most shredders since 2000 have sucked as artists. They can play to a metronome but they can’t swing and they can’t groove and they lack the vibe that is fundamental in rock - Hendrix and Eddie and Steve and Dime all have a “hyper loose” vibe that we are all familiar with. We don’t listen to piano or violin for a reason.

@@warningchimes24If you like hearing repetitive mid-tempo songs with grating vocals for an hour straight, then, yes, their last few albums have been 'great'.

Hes absolutely incredible and one of my favourites but he didnt write this.

Just shows how skilled Jari is. Too bad he's a weirdo that cant just write music...@@mangoherpson

@@Krigloch The guys is too caught up in production and mixing that he can't release the undoubtedly great music he has written.

I'm pretty sure Dave mustaine can keep up with him lol 😎

@@HEAVYMETALmovie1981 yeah true no one said he couldn't

Dave def cant keep up w him 😅

megadeth has just become a stepping stone gig for up and comming musicians

hes just with them for their tour

There is no replacing Kiki’s personality!

​@@sabraunsteini think i'd be seriously concerned about myself if I would try to replace someone elses personality... 😬😁

The thing is Wintersun hasn’t done anything since the 7000 tons of metal cruise. Jari’s gotten super lazy with Time 2 and Teemu doesn’t get included in the writing process so hopefully this tour will help elevate his career to where he deserves to be, be it in Megadeth or another band

Jari is too busy hanging out in the sauna that the fans paid for. I'm sure Teemu has plenty of free time.

​@@thecrypticstenchTeemu has recorded his solo parts for some new Wintersun album recently,some duel solo thing with Jari.

@@villes5727 that’s cool then if he’s actually getting to be apart of the whole thing now, but Jari needs to put out a studio cut of The Way of Fire. We’ve been asking for it for awhile now and it would help retain SOME interest in the potential release of Time 2.

@@thecrypticstench Seems that hes too busy with the four other albums hes working on,and dont quote me on this but i think he mentioned that too much of Time ||would be revealed if he'd put out a studio version,if the live song from 2018 really is Storm from the album...

Talented surely not… skillful? Maybe…

@@True86er Well Broderic is the only one that comes even close on talent. He might be better. But still personally rank Teemu higher but i might be biased

​@@jii-ro7083Listen to Kiko Loureiro's albums, for me he is the most technical that has ever been in Megadeth, I have never heard such a precise and clean guitarist live.

I do think Kiko is way better than any of them, even Friedman. Just look at Kiko's career, it's far above any of what these previous guitarists have achieved apart from Friedman

​@@jii-ro7083 Funny. I was a fan of this guy (through Wintersun) Kiko, and Broderick all before they joined Megadeth. And Kiko is by *far* the most gifted and versed in music. Broderick and Teemu are definitely extremely technically proficient and air tight control over their instrument but Kiko's skill as a musician and breadth of understanding of music far surpasses theirs. For most of my time listening to metal, I would have considered Kiko my favorite guitarist. If you are sleeping on Kiko you obviously are not familiar with his other work before Megadeth.

Syu is a crazy good guitar player. And he is a big gear nerd, which I see as a plus

Wintersun is releasing a new album in August
