agreed

Yes if your a sweaty god with jazz hands

I can do everything but that main lick in the beggining

dummies24 watch my channel for the beginning of the song

Its not that hard to be honest (in my opinion), the majority is basically hammer-ons and pull-offs, a tapping part that isn't all that hard if you actually try to practice that part, and the rest of the song is pretty easy.

I would say it's not a difficult song all thing considered, it's just incredibly easy to screw up and, in terms the note/song structure, therefore makes it sound terrible when you actually mess up, making you think you're worse than you are. I would say though, this song is a great way to initiate you into what it feels to play shred guitar.

Thanks Nyarlah for the kind words though your version sounds better to me :). Hardly any mistakes in yours where I have a few decent flubs in mine. Just goes to show that % accuracy in the game isn't everything!

have you learrned it yet? :)

literally same. i can whip through everything else except that damn finger tapping

Yuro Lohe There's nothing wrong with Guitar Hero or similar rhythm games. At this point in time it would be more fun for me to play Yngwie Malmsteen songs decently on Rock Band than to fail miserably on this on Rocksmith. Many guitarists seem to think that guitar and Guitar Hero are somehow comparable. They're not even close to the same thing and they're played for very different reasons. Yet oddly it's always the guitarists who seem to think that rhythm game players are the ones who think they're comparable when we're under no illusions, we know that Guitar Hero doesn't make us musicians or good at music/guitar or cool in the slightest. Guitar Hero is also motivational. I didn't really pay that much attention to guitar until I played Guitar Hero. I wouldn't have been motivated to learn to play guitar if I didn't play rhythm games and as a result pay more attention to music.

Yuro Lohe I had tha same like Magniloquent. I started to play guitar because of rythm games. Even at start i could keep my rythm constantly with no problems and i knew that i won't get bored because it's a game :D Games aren't boring :)

+Yuro Lohe I used to play a lot of Guitar Hero before actual guitar, and it actually got me farther on real guitar than my friends who also picked up rocksmith. Also, it's way easier to play songs like Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero than it is on actual guitar. You'l spend well over a decade trying to play that song if you're just starting out, then it isn't really worth it at that point.

How many percent today bro?

Justin Castillo I would agree if i hadn't see Jeff Loomis. That's inhuman.

Justin Castillo whatcha my channel for the beginning of the song

You might like halsb's channel then. He only gets 100% in each video.

Thanks 6fingers :) And lets be honest... That note at 1:27 was terrible, lol! I somehow find a way to add a few of these major flubs in most of my videos. Oh well, I'll keep trying though!

You'll get there Daniel, stick with it man! Practice, practice, practice!

Thanks!

Yeah, it didn't take me very long to get over 90%, and the only prior practice was Guitar Hero and a few months of lessons, and if I could do it I know you can for sure :P

you get it by going into Uplay

you unlock it by log in to uplay

If it gets frustrating, take a break then come back. Trust me, playing while getting annoyed at it will make you play worse, which will make you more frustrated, play worse ect. I'd recommend using the riff repeater on songs you really want to learn, start slow, add more notes. This song used to scare the shit out of me, I've been taking music seriously for less than year and I can play this with a few errors. You can do it dude, but you have to want it. ;D

+Francesca Cascio Everyone has own tempo but I could play that after ~7 months.

Yea, but I've gotten so good that when I play a song, it is ALWAYS on 100% percent, even if I haven't played that song before.

I managed to get it yesterday, but it was an overbend. I find if you bend properly it doesnt register, but get it a little over (and sometimes even under) it will register.

Thanks Darkian! As for soloing, it will take time to build up the speed and muscle memory so stay patient with it. I would recommend finding a solo that you really want to learn and is a bit above your current skill level. Take it into Riff Repeater and play it with all of the notes but at a speed where you can learn to play it cleanly as well as memorize it. Once you have it down at that speed, slowly speed it up 1% or 2% until you can play it cleanly at that speed. Rinse and repeat:) Also, make sure to do some practice outside of the songs (Session Mode is awesome!) and learn some scales. Play them ascending, descending, in different positions around the neck, as quarter notes and triplet notes, etc. Make sure to change it up as well. 15 minutes a day for a few weeks, months, and/or years will go a long way into your ability to solo! Thanks for watching!

Nick Smith Which pick do you use for standard tuning Nick? I just ordered a V-pick, apparently they really aid you in catching those upstrokes quickly when alternate picking fast scales etc. Unfortunately my tortex .88mm likes to snag my strings a little on some of the scales on this song, so Im having to put extra forearm work in there to get it up to speed.

+Darkian1314 practice alone without rocksmith with a metronome. Play a simple arpeggio slow then faster. This will build accuracy between your picking and fretting hand.

Thanks cjee246! Looking forward to some more epic videos from you soon. Keep it up bro!

Some Iron Maiden perhaps? :D would love that!

Thanks Jack! Good question though... Iron Maiden would be cool but I haven't decided for sure yet. Still a lot of disc content to chew through first. Thanks for watching!

So, did you ever get 100 lol I find it hard enough to get the game to register an FC on blitzkreig bop let alone this song!

GuitarSam 89 lol

Eliza Delgado Your comment is really old but meaby i will answer for someone else. You can't learn how to play fast solos etc. from rocksmith. This game is to learn the basics but you have to work alone with songs like this one (unless you are really good guitarist already).

Learned to play fast af from rocksmith, just put in the hours man

You want hard? Try Aching Head by Self Destruct, the last unlockable song in the game.

That's pretty tough too, but I thing the solos are more doable for an intermediate player and not a more experienced one. The hardest parts are the ones with chords in my opinion.

***** I find that the chords aren't as hard as the parts that aren't synchronised with the rest of the song. The beginning is a perfect example of this. You can learn the chords, but to play something that isn't synced with the rest is quite a different challenge

This song is actually quite easy. Mostly a bunch of hammerons

David Mardakhayev There are a few tricky parts that will test ones alternate picking capabilities though, sure you can mince about with loads of hammerons and probably get the game to register them, but it just doesnt sound right without picking in appropriate places such as the main riff and the ascending scale after it.

Seb Fl I agree.. the fingering comes very natural on the fretboard

Its a really easy warmup song that helps thats why i like this song tbh

haha sorry, i should have said amazing job first, but i would have played day and night until i got that 0.7%

InadimentStick I'll be the troll for this comment. I'm going to assume that this cat has put at least 10 years into his guitar skills. I'm also going to assume that he's hit 100% at least a handful of times before he felt it was deemed legitimate for youtube viewing. I'm also going to assume that the man had other things to do - rather than go through a 5 minute song again and again just so he could shave off .7% on a stretch of notes. You see the views? 6,299.. no wait. 6,300 now. 0 dislikes. So.. instead of harping on a guy for missing 1 or 2 notes. Let's see you post something anywhere near this, Or better yet; Run off and collect ALL of the Pokemon. I'm sure you are missing a few. Fanboy.

InadimentStick Then shut the fuck up and do it. Let's see you post up a video with half the talent this man has.

Logan Moriarty I was as a matter of fact. Thank you for pointing that out for me. I'll edit if I can.

No problem. I do, however, hope that this guy gets more popular, he has a ton of talent and I feel he deserves over 6,000 likes!
