This is me covering Valley Of The Damned by DragonForce on my Ibanez Egen18-TVF. My guitar sound was achieved by using the effects in Logic Pro X along with amp designer. The song was learned by ear along with some improvisation.

The Outro solo to this song is probably the best outro to any song in the history of music. The melody of it is breathtaking. Great cover!

@TheDragonSpiritForce 9 жыл бұрын

+JoeyWild Yeah well I started getting really into playing about 2 years ago I think. Never had any lessons, but I'm making solid process just by self studying with tabs and watching videos. Sweep picking is one of the things I have a lot of trouble with though. I imagine it's just a matter of hours upon hours of practice, but do you know of any tips that would make it more accessible? Thanks in advance!

@JoeyWarfield 9 жыл бұрын

I'm also self taught from the beginning and I gotta tell you, when your just as good as other people that have taken lessons, you'll feel so much more pride since you know you taught yourself . Two years is a good start, but it may be a bit too soon to tackle sweep picking. I couldn't do that until I was 4-5 years into playing. But if you want to try it then, here's my suggestion to you. Focus on one hand at a time. Start with either your right or left hand and just get the motion right. Either sweep up and down the strings while muting them with your other hand or go through the individual notes by just taping the strings without picking them. Mute the strings with your right hand if you want, It's just about getting the feel right. When it starts to feel a little bit natural you can start putting the two together. Start of easy, just three strings at a time and don't push yourself to hard. A sloppy learning process will take more time to retrain yourself the right way than taking it nice and easy from the start.

Sweet baby Jesus! That was sick! Really dig the guitar as well, it was my dream guitar when I was into DragonForce. :) Though I have this love/hate thing going on with tremolos :P

@JoeyWarfield 8 жыл бұрын

+TheTonyborbony Thanks, I appreciate your feedback! :) I have a similar feeling towards tremolo bridges. The only one that I've liked are the Ibanez ones with their zero-point system and their own spring system. They feel so much more stable than Floyd Rose bridges if you ask me.

@TheTonyborbony 8 жыл бұрын

JoeyWild I currently have a guitar equiped with the Edge3 tremolo and one with an original Floyd Rose and I prefer the Floyd. Never tried a guitar with the zero-point system though, seems interesting. :) My main reason for hating on tremolos is because they're a pain when you adjust the intonation or when you want to try another tuning.

@JoeyWarfield 8 жыл бұрын

+TheTonyborbony I totally agree on the pain with intonation and changing the tuning. I'm in university right now and while my Egen18 is at home I got my other Ibanez here with the ZR-bridge. It's pretty much the same as the others but instead of a knife edge it's got a ball bearing mount. The configuration is pretty mich the same and I keep going back and forth in tunings all the time and it's quite annoying. It's stays in tune very well though because of the locking nut :)

@JoeyWarfield 8 жыл бұрын

+Daniel Son Many thanks! It's a really good guitar indeed. It's definitely one of the best guitars I've played one, but my favourite is my Ibanez S2170FW. Spec-wise it's more limited than the Egen-18, i.e. it doesn't have 24 frets or coil tap but there's something about it that I prefer. Since I got it it's been my main guitar for live for that purpose I think. Limitations and simplicity makes it more comfortable to use since the options are not as overwhelming.

@DK_Son 8 жыл бұрын

+JWguitar Ah good to hear. Not sure if I make the leap into buying it or not, but always happy to hear positive reviews to help tip me over the edge. Just looked at the S2170. Nice guitar. If I don't get the Egen18 (or before I get the Egen18 i should say) I've been looking at getting the S570DXQM Prestige in Grey. Or the S5570Q in Doom purple. Need to see them in real life first though. I have an Iron label SIR70FD and a Diamond Bird of Prey but need a thin body Ibanez with a wammy now, so maybe "Egen18, here I come". How long have you been playing? Dragonforce got me into playing. Listened to em for 10 years but started playing about 3 ago. Spent too much time on Guitar Hero haha. Only just properly started looking at their tabs/sheet music.

@JoeyWarfield 8 жыл бұрын

+Daniel Son I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years now. It's good to hear that you're really getting into playing guitar. There's nothing that makes me feel so free as when I'm playing music. If you're getting a guitar in that price range, try many different guitars. What you've set out to get might not be the right choice for you in the end. Of course you can narrow your search down to a few brands that you prefer but keep an open mind. Always try out a guitar before you buy one as well. If the guitar shop has multiples of the same model in stock, ask if you can try another one because no one is the other like. Also, if you plan on buying an expensive guitar, don't buy it the day you first try it. Ask if the shop could reserve it for you for the next couple of days so that you'll have time to think of your options. Personally I'd recommend a prestige S-series rather than the Egen18 unless you're a major fan like me. The reason is you'll be able to modify it, put in a specific set of pick-ups, for example you could put a dimarzio evolution in the bridge while having a dimarzio D activator in the bridge. The purpose with a signature model is the specs will all be the same as the artists guitar. If you start replacing the pick-ups, then you've lost the purpose with that specific guitar.

Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned lyrics On a cold dark winter night hidden by the stormy light A battle rages for the right for what will become In the valley of the damned a warrior with sword in hand Travels fast across the land for freedom he rides And the sign from the master on high screams aloud and across hear the cry For the kingdom of fire and ice and the power to be alive Be strong ride on, carry on through the war Come along carry on, living for ever more On the wings of death by the hands of doom By the darkest light from the darkest moon Crossing silent seas over mountains high For we stand as one tonight On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light In the valley of the damned Days breaks with golden strand Over pastures green it glows To where night returns In the shadows faces appear Warriors wearing full metal gear All join together one and all Before the glorious light Rise up, gather around Come and hear what is said Use your senses open your mind Don't you ever forget On the wings of life, by the hands of hope By the brightest light from the brightest sun Crossing silent seas over mountains high To the valley of the damned On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light On the black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light The black wind forever we ride on together Destroying your evil with freedom our guide When the master will storm us He'll stand high before us Our hearts filled with splendour Our swords will shine over the light The black...

Great question. I'm honestly not sure I know if I can completely answer it though. I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years now. I learned the basics of the song in 2010 but I didn't possess the technique in order to play the solo so I stuck to the rhythm for the time being. Then I somewhat learned the Em sweep figure around 2012. Then in 2014 I could somewhat play around the solo because I was starting to get some proper speed into my fingers. Then I shot the cover in 2015 :)
