Hello metalheads,
Here is a cover of the song "Into the Fire" from Sabaton's album "Primo Victoria", released back in 2007.
This is a song that I used to listen some years ago, but never was able to play it, especially the fast alternate picking part, which is repeated endlessly. But damn does it sound amazing. This song has an amazing feel to it, which I always experience when I listen to it, but mostly when I play it.
Small info about the use of capo here:
My guitar is tuned in D Standard, which is 2 steps/1 tone lower than the standard tuning (E) in which this song is recorded.
If you listen carefully their lives, they play the songs 1 tone lower so it is easier for Joakim to sing.
In studio, they use standard tuning, live they use the same tuning I have here (2 step lower).
Even with a different tuning, you can usually get away with it by translating all the cords 2 steps higher (to match the recording tuning), but in this case, the beginning part (which is repeated throughout the song) is based on the open G string. This is why the capo was required in my case, so that my open G string matches the one on the recording.
Hope you'll enjoy it. If you do, please smash the like button, leave a comment and subscribe!
