OM: I Am A Viking, You Are A Loser!

[killinghall]

My first Yngwie melody I learnt to play in its entirety, on the folk guitar, when I was a teenager. I also remember playing this in Roomful of Blues after NS.

It's not very polished, the rythmn and the melody are one-takes and the latter might make you really cringe...lol. Solo is done in two different takes as I found myself lagging as a result of playing more notes than the original, and didn't wanna do any retakes.

Sing along with me, ok? LOL

Bro that clip was killer.

YOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE FOOKIN FURY!

I feel like wearing a pair of leather pants, a frilly white shirt, gold chains and a rolex, and of course putting on 30 extra kg and getting a malmsteen strat!

Killer playing!

 

[bam]

i feel like doing that too! only that i'd only have to put on like 10kg

 

[fibredrive]

i should do that, cos it would mean i have to lose weight instead... :lol:

 

[killinghall]

damn funny...btw....the weight gain aside, don't forget to throw in a couple of red and black ferraris too!

[Slowish]

rayer: rayer: rayer: anyone who can play i am a viking is a god. you never cease to amaze killinghall!

 

[killinghall]

thank you for your kind words, slowish, but I believe with practise, a good bunch here would be able to play this song...and put on 30kg in no time!

 

[ragetone]

Killinghall...u r such a killer!!

 

[ShredCow]

That sounded nice. 8)

How about time for an original?

 

[killinghall]

Thanks ragetone.

Daniel, yeah, originals are nice to do...hopefully another one soon! Covers are always hard to do...

 

[Drewgie]

Sounded awesome, well done . I love that song, the first run in the solo of the real song is one of the fastest things i've ever heard before, any idea how many notes per second he hits there? Very nice Malmsteenish vibrato as well

 

[killinghall]

I counted, there's would be at least 40 notes. Of course I'm not Yngwie, so I certainly hit less than that...lol

 

[Drewgie]

I think you're right, on guitar pro it says there is 48 notes in that run. So since its about 3 seconds, i'd say about 16 notes a second
