You kicked focal dystonia’s ass and then some. Easily my favorite lead guitarist of all time. Everything from Epitaph to Unyielding is a goldmine of inspiration. Hoping to see some of the new material in the U.S. in the near future.
Corpus 90 He would’ve been ridiculously good, but more in the Necrophagist style he had. Personally I prefer the awesome tapping he developed from his fight with dystonia, but yes you’re so right. Ultimately I think it worked out for the best, he has a really unique tapping style that he has said he developed due to his dystonia issues and not being able to sweep normal shapes then.
With the exception of a select few, signatures are often just existing models with your specs. And why go for a custom guitar if off-the-line stuff are already playable?
Never seen a solo with that many notes, where so few was fretted by the middle finger. That's some pretty amazing technical adaptation, and admirable! :)
Jeffrey Dean He can’t use certain combinations and I believe the big one is middle plus index finger, so he barely uses his middle finger. He’s had the problem since around Omnivium’s release (meaning a long time now). If you listen to Epitaph by Necrophagist and his solos on it, you can hear how he played beforehand.
As someone who is dealing with a lot of nerve issues after accident a few years ago, I am always greatly inspired by your work. Never realized you had this solo youtube channel fuckyea man. One day at a time we march forward🤘
You already know it's going to be a good day when Chris releases a new song! Great melodies, awesome riffs and mindblowing solos. Killer work as always, brother! Very excited for the full album!
I'm far from a professional guitarist, but I have also found a way to avoid using my middle finger in my left hand because it is prone to painful bouts for reasons I don't really understand. It will just randomly start to feel like pins and needles at the tip, and it can even become painful when I play for an extended period without it. I am not a new guitar player who hasn't got their first callus yet, I have played for 15 years, the pain just developed a few years ago and forced me to change. Christian is very inspirational in his innovative approach to working around his condition and still sounding amazing! I hope the best for you with many years of health and badass music to come!
Das Album habe ich erst vor ein paar Tagen bei Spotify entdeckt.... Timewarp hat mich schon umgehauen.... Path of the Hero ist super genial, schöne klassische Linien wie von Händel, Krieger oder Bach inspiriert..... und auf einmal Jazz, Blues Fusion.... ich bin total angetan. Christian Münzner ist so ein super Gitarrist. Hut ab!
Don't know who you are or where you came from, but I'm getting this from watching this video: 1. You're really damn good at guitar 2. God damn you must've played the shit out of that guitar and 3. What
Also, I think if someone showed me this song without telling me who the player is, I'd guess it was you. There's a lot of things I can pick out that sounds like your playing, but that whammy bar thing you do would totally give it away. Hope you take that as a compliment!
What type or brand of glove are you using as I to have a hand condition that makes it hard to play sometimes and I am looking for anything that can help reduce the pain and inflammation. Amazing playing as well. Your skills make me want to turn my guitar into a coffee table.
Written in the video description: "Note: The reason I am wearing the glove in this video is because since 10 years I suffer from a condition called focal dystonia which affects my fretting hand, this specifically designed musicians practice glove reduces the symptoms and thus helps me when playing challenging material."
@@Bantinck he has some neurological condition that affects the muscles, for him specifically in his fretting hand, I read an article about when he quit Obscura but you can find it in wikipedia. So I'm guessing the gloves help....
I was wondering about that too! Video description explains it: "The reason I am wearing the glove in this video is because since 10 years I suffer from a condition called focal dystonia which affects my fretting hand, this specifically designed musicians practice glove reduces the symptoms and thus helps me when playing challenging material."
@@gtuxgtux yeah maybe i should read desc next time lol but glad hes doing okay i knew that he had some troubles with that hand back in the obscura times
@@Redwan_Shishko I don't think so. Isn't Scott Devine just wearing the glove for tonal reasons? Christian is using to reduce his symptoms from focal dystonia

Can you imagine his playing skill if he's not focal dystonia?

i still wounder why he still has no Ibanez signature model
lol they sign little kids now, he's too old I guess or not super crusty enough...sorry bro
@@russellzauner yes they do , but he's not that old thou
russell zauner has nothing to do with age. He’s happy with the collection he’s got. I’d love to have a prestige or Jem
With the exception of a select few, signatures are often just existing models with your specs.

@@LykanVarion true that , but i don't know man having an own model is kinda slick thou
What a great start to the weekend 😎

agree, I'm always completely stunned by his ability, considering this situation.
He is an impressive example for players ;)!
What happened to his middle finger?
@@virvum_cypher he's unfortunately suffering of Focal dystonia :(
Jeffrey Dean He can’t use certain combinations and I believe the big one is middle plus index finger, so he barely uses his middle finger.

cant even imagine doing those sweeps without middle finger
I can't stop repeating this video!!
Incredibile playing! I'm looking forward to hear the whole album

Christian you’re the best !!!
Great great control

Oh man!!!! Awesome awesome awesome!
Tuku taka tuku taka....✌✌✌👍👍 very good!
At first I was disappointed that it was not Knight rider theme but that's a wonderful song! I truly enjoyed this.
I just listened to timewarp today morning and wondered when there Was gonna be some new stuff :)

Preordered the album today, what an inspiration he is
Das Album habe ich erst vor ein paar Tagen bei Spotify entdeckt.... Timewarp hat mich schon umgehauen....
Path of the Hero ist super genial, schöne klassische Linien wie von Händel, Krieger oder Bach inspiriert..... und auf einmal Jazz, Blues Fusion.... ich bin total angetan.
Christian Münzner ist so ein super Gitarrist.
Hut ab!
Greatest modern metal guitarist!
Mind Blown 😱😱😱😱😱
First time watching your channel man. This is amazing.
Those licks and phrasing and they way you put them together is insane.
Oh my lord, you just inspired me greatly with your swift picking. I've been in a rut lately untill now. Congratulations on your work.
I hear the Steve Vai and Yngwie influence in Muenzner's fluent playing on the fretboard
Great video. I cannot get enough of your playing. God damn!!
Reminds of very early Stratovarius! Love it
Yes!
Awesome!!!
Fun stuff. Thanks for shred- I mean sharing!
What a beast!
Don't know who you are or where you came from, but I'm getting this from watching this video: 1. You're really damn good at guitar 2. God damn you must've played the shit out of that guitar and 3. What
YES! Still shreds so hard!
Soooooo gut 🤩😍🤩

Oh man!! This guy is awsome

This is great Christian! I haven't heard from you in awhile, but this was an awesome reminder of how much of a bad ass you are! :D
0:55 wow!
Amazing great work man ❤️🍻
Damn Good !!!
sound great
its a Castlevania's vibe ! I Like It So much
Terry Syrek sent me here. Amazing work!
Yeeeeees
Welcome back to obscura
Dude! Awesome shred and riffs!
Also, I think if someone showed me this song without telling me who the player is, I'd guess it was you. There's a lot of things I can pick out that sounds like your playing, but that whammy bar thing you do would totally give it away. Hope you take that as a compliment!
his fast alternate picking sound gives it away for me
@@maaaaaap That too. Especially after a sweep.
@@brantleyrogers2008 Vibrato work is obvious.

I'm curious as well.
gute Arbeit
Schöne Sweeps
🤘
Power glove! Amazing!
I must ask; what is on his left hand? I'm aware that he has a medical condition, but I am not familiar with the glove.
Written in the video description: "Note: The reason I am wearing the glove in this video is because since 10 years I suffer from a condition called focal dystonia which affects my fretting hand, this specifically designed musicians practice glove reduces the symptoms and thus helps me when playing challenging material."
@@ChristianMuenznerOfficial thank you! I should have read the description.
@@ChristianMuenznerOfficial all my prayers ( the best i can do) to regain your full healty life ; along as the rest of people suffering from dystonia
Every time I see that guitar it's like seeing an old friend
This is interesting…Way different than the stuff you’ve done with Necrophagist, SoP and Obscura…It’s cool!
Cuanto más escucho este tema más me gusta. Recuerdos de los guitarristas de Shrapnel Records en los años 80.
Ultra-geil, Chris!!
💥💥💥
hammergeil
Señor, su musica alegra mi vida
Awesome shit, I hear a lot of Jeff Waters influence in the solo at 1:59
👏👏👏👏
I use the same gloves for my Nickel Contact Dermatitis, they are good and dirt cheap!
Why he uses gloves?
@@Bantinck he has some neurological condition that affects the muscles, for him specifically in his fretting hand, I read an article about when he quit Obscura but you can find it in wikipedia. So I'm guessing the gloves help....
@ChristianMuenzerOffcial what is the name of the brand you bought the glove 🧤 from that you use when playing Guitar 🎸
Of course it's great..... It made by Chris, don't be surprised.
Whats up with the left hand color? 😲
I was wondering about that too!
Video description explains it:

@@gtuxgtux yeah maybe i should read desc next time lol but glad hes doing okay i knew that he had some troubles with that hand back in the obscura times
It's the same thing with the British bassist Scott Devine.. look him up!
i didnt even notice wtf, now it's so obvious
@@Redwan_Shishko I don't think so. Isn't Scott Devine just wearing the glove for tonal reasons? Christian is using to reduce his symptoms from focal dystonia
What's the reason for use a glove in the left hand?
It's written in the video description: "Note: The reason I am wearing the glove in this video is because since 10 years I suffer from a condition called focal dystonia which affects my fretting hand, this specifically designed musicians practice glove reduces the symptoms and thus helps me when playing challenging material."
@@ChristianMuenznerOfficial Thanks for the answer. I didn't read the description, sorry.
