As someone who plays guitar I'd honestly say that FCing something like Soulless 4 might actually be harder in GH3 than on a real guitar, because on GH3 you have to be literally perfect, whereas this cover is really far from perfect, its just that it's close to the point where almost no one woukd ever be able to pick up the occasional missed notes
Very cool. I need to look into mimicking guitar sounds since I don't do it nearly enough. Really liked how 5:13, 10:06, and 10:14 sounds Always flattering that people want to play my songs. 🙂
Yay! I think your songs are better with the synth sound rather than fake guitar sounds though; those usually sound like a MIDI file being played back by Windows
Well they aren't "fake" guitar sounds. I'm running real guitar sounds through an amp (RealStrat through Amplitube 3) but I don't play real guitar so I'm not really experienced on how to make it sound "proper". The only song I can think of where I really use this though is Amalgamation. Most of my songs are pure synth as you said.
HalfDuck .....If you make Soulless 2 listenable....you will be forever hailed as a god among men. EDIT: Wait, Dragonforce edition? That is NOT what the comment said before. What are you planning?......Dis gon be good.
I love the genre blend that's happening here. Sometimes you're DragonForce, sometimes you're Metallica, sometimes you're that one rock band that sounded really really cool in 7th grade, and sometimes you're "Epic Castlevania Guitar Medley". Good stuff.
As a guitar player, I believe this proves the opposite. I'm pretty sure he's playing less notes at least on some of the parts and sometimes playing the notes not exactly as charted. Not that it takes away from the song. It still sounds good.
@PS3Harrison, I got a few questions but I'll just bring a specific example up. So 9:35 is charted correctly to the FL Studio file? The orange and blue notes seem similar to the green drone note that each note returns to in the Through the Fire and Flames intro that isn't really there but it's charted for lols.
Jesus Christ I wonder! Check this video out, it shows S3 isn't overcharted: ua-cam.com/video/TnIXY0iLwf8/v-deo.html That part is really the most confusing for me, the chart is still killer imo
@@jesuschrist5417 I know this comment thread is super fucking old but yeah it's blatantly obvious that what's being played on the guitar does not correspond to the ingame chart. Look at 9:51, yeah, I'm sure the rapid tremolo picking in the chart is exactly the same as the tapping he's doing on the real guitar. I swear people are either deaf or know nothing about real guitar/music theory when they adamantly maintain "See, that was exactly as the chart was!"
I only heard hollow for the first time 2 months after duck posted his soulless 3 cover and I’ve never been more upset I didn’t vote for it before listening
if you look closely you can see that around 9:40 the footage is actually spliced, meaning this FC is null and void. i can point out these things because I'm really really smart
They say that Megapeng started playing real guitar, it all makes sense now... Seriously though, great job dude! Looking forward for possible Soulless 2 cover. Also one great GH custom that would be neat on real guitar would be Victory Solo X, hope to see that some day :D
100K Views! That's crazy, I never expected that many :) And comments from Acai and exile! Something about Soulless 4 is really addicting.. Anyway, I made my first actual original custom GH song, check it out if you like (I hope to just get better at it in the future) - ua-cam.com/video/D7FbR_1Wf54/v-deo.html
I really don't understand how it's possible not to like this. It's absolutely fucking amazing. I didn't know your channel but I'm really without words, particularly for this video. Congratulations 🙇
Holy FUCK dude this is so perfect. Your playing is also flawless. I never thought someone would be so out of his mind to actually transcribe this to a real guitar lol
I know this is super late but there's a guitar tab on Ultimate Guitar. Good luck though as that one is not remotely "Undercharted" and some of the licks in that are impossible to even read let alone play.
Idk why but I always personally liked the part at 2:01 it’s just cool and to hear it on a real guitar is so so so awesome, massive props to you for making it happen!
honestly. I suppose you learned to play this by ear. and it's... well, pretty long y'know? 12 minutes it's a lot of things to learn... i've been playing guitar for about 7 years I think, and I don't think I can learn rn a 12 minutes song without losing my mind so yeah, aside from the amazing cover, 100% respect for your consistency
Thank you :) I got lazy with some parts and kinda played my own thing instead of learning it. Soulless 5 is 18 minutes long and I did that one pretty much note for note almost haha
Man this was dope. Listened to the whole thing at least four or five times now. I am really curious to know your rig and your setup used in this video!
I can make it in rocksmith if i get tabs and a mp3, im not gonna tab it out myself from the video, i used to make a lot of songs on customforge and some of the highly rated once

ACAI FC'D IT
OH YEAH BOIS
After 1 year... this is amazing.
YEAAAAAAHHHHH
Nerves = imagined
quality content
LMFAO THE INTRO
wassup brown man
It's the most difficult part
HalfDuck do you play gh? lol. by the way this is insane man
He nailed machinations A and the breaker solo transition in the same run...
I loaded up GH1 last month and 5 starred all the songs, I think that's as far as my abilities go lol
Now I can feel justified when I'm at a concert, and I yell to the band "PLAY SOULLESS 4"
Hakuna Matata lmao
It would require at least 2 guitarists live
Don't give DragonForce any ideas 😂
Lmao I would do this 100%
“HALFDUCK DID IT, YOU CAN TOO”
When Guitar Hero got so hard that real guitar is more easily FC'able.
dunno, maybe
Wrong. The intro is harder in real life trust me.
This dude has probably been playing guitar for 10+ years.
In what way is this easier?
Zack nah
IMAGINE THE N E R V E S
lmao
whoever doesnt get the reference must live under a rock

Acai said this is not fcable. Someone is lying here.
Everything is fcable..
BUT...ACAI SAID...
Acai did -10 he lied when he said cant FC

Also it looks like he did this in multiple takes spliced together
SOULLESS 5 IS IN THE WORKS YO BOIIIIII.
Edit: It's here - ua-cam.com/video/hB8mOIEXhpU/v-deo.html
HalfDuck Imagine the nerves
HalfDuck next mission aquired
GET ON THAT SHIT B
hyped
Omg that's gonna be insane
Holy shit! They made guitar hero into a real thing?!

_wooosh_
Jacob Saur yeah called rocksmith dumbass
McKale Dean r/wooosh
So much wooosh in this comment chain
LonttuGamer r/whooooash
People are gonna say he used a bot...
i know
For the gameplay? Or real life
he fingered the bot, picked on the bot, pulled and hammered the bot bro
He didn’t use a bot...he IS the bot
no, he was splicing
Very cool. I need to look into mimicking guitar sounds since I don't do it nearly enough. Really liked how 5:13, 10:06, and 10:14 sounds

Soulless 4 remastered confirmed lmao
ExileLord x HalfDuck collab?
Well they aren't "fake" guitar sounds. I'm running real guitar sounds through an amp (RealStrat through Amplitube 3) but I don't play real guitar so I'm not really experienced on how to make it sound "proper". The only song I can think of where I really use this though is Amalgamation. Most of my songs are pure synth as you said.
Do that for soulless 5
Now you just need The8BitDrummer's isolated track and someone to play it on bass for a proper metal cover lmao
Jerod really needs to get in on this!
And then get Miscellany to chart it
Davie504?
Could get Jason to play bass...
NightmareSnake But Jason adamantly refuses to play bleep bloop songs :^)
I kept repeating, "this is so cool" throughout the entire video
0:11 Soul Ride
Jack Holleworth Get out.
OK.
Jack Holleworth Take it easy
Slow Down.
Nice pic
If Buckethead Wrote Soulless 4
I'm halfway done with Soulless 2: DragonForce edition, and it's sounding utterly ridiculous #realmusic
HalfDuck Tabs when?
HalfDuck .....If you make Soulless 2 listenable....you will be forever hailed as a god among men.
EDIT: Wait, Dragonforce edition? That is NOT what the comment said before. What are you planning?......Dis gon be good.
What about soulless 3
It'll be up either tomorrow or the day after
Awesome
Not only did you make a cover of soulless 4, you made it sound EPIC. Especially Fatalism. Wow.
DragonForce tapping patterns are my favourite :P
When does the Fatalism part come in?

I love the genre blend that's happening here. Sometimes you're DragonForce, sometimes you're Metallica, sometimes you're that one rock band that sounded really really cool in 7th grade, and sometimes you're "Epic Castlevania Guitar Medley". Good stuff.
Pretty sure this proves anyone who thinks the gh song is overcharted is wrong. This song is insanely hard to play irl. Props man, Loved the song
As a guitar player, I believe this proves the opposite. I'm pretty sure he's playing less notes at least on some of the parts and sometimes playing the notes not exactly as charted. Not that it takes away from the song. It still sounds good.
I mean hes playing less notes/not playing exactly as charted because this song "wasnt intended to be played by humans" - ExileLord2018
@PS3Harrison, I got a few questions but I'll just bring a specific example up. So 9:35 is charted correctly to the FL Studio file?

I know why I like this so much better than the original, you gave the souless a soul. Something about real electric guitar that just gives it life.
soulful 1
There are stems now. Go ahead lol
@MageBurger Wouldnt it be Soul 4?
FC'ed. 😮
Footage by helgabot ^^
Yo I was thinking about making a bass cover to this song so I guess I don’t have an excuse not too now
Do it, thensomeoe will make s drum part , then a piano part THEN WE MIX ALL THE PARTS AND GET AN AMAZING COVER
No i
no
bet
I DO DRUMS
Hollow would be sick.
MistaTwoJeffreyTwenty Yaay omg that end strumming would be fucking insane lol
Or Misadventure, they're both really good
I only heard hollow for the first time 2 months after duck posted his soulless 3 cover and I’ve never been more upset I didn’t vote for it before listening
2:46 the tapping for this section looks almost identical to how you would tap it on guitar hero, it's nice to see that the chart is accurate
Nice elbow strum at 5:12
No head. Epic guitar skills. The Dooo has a brother 🤤🤤
This is awesome though dude😏
WeirdyBeardy Stuff u cant compare him to TheDooo
This is unreal. Probably the best video I’ve seen in a very very long time. Awesome stuff man 1+ sub
if you look closely you can see that around 9:40 the footage is actually spliced, meaning this FC is null and void. i can point out these things because I'm really really smart
bellusdaisy also look at 12:42
@@genericthepyromain1745 i fell for it XD
This is masterful in so many ways, you sir have so much skills on this instrument. I am looking forward to more revisions like this!
8:17 the slide, what a legend
I have something special planned for this if I get around to it. ;)
Ooooh
Do I smell a chart coming for this?
Uninvited Guest Someone needs to make a guitar cover of the chart of the guitar cover (if that's what it is)
something a bit better :P
Get better at THPSU2 first
They say that Megapeng started playing real guitar, it all makes sense now...
Seriously though, great job dude! Looking forward for possible Soulless 2 cover. Also one great GH custom that would be neat on real guitar would be Victory Solo X, hope to see that some day :D
Yeah VSX! Maybe it'll even bring back Schmutz06.
VICTORY SOLO X OMG WHOEVER SAID THAT, YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ONE DAY!!!
s2 when
In a few weeks I thiink. People suggested a bunch of different customs so I put a poll at the end of the vid. But probably Soulless 2.
hell yea
HalfDuck yeah soulless 2 would be awesome, that would be my pick
Beeeew
This was so satisfying to watch and the distortion for this is perfect, would love to see more from you man keep up the fine guitaring! \m/

HalfDuck you deserve more subs and views, your content is enjoyable and amazing
i bet half of them are me! XD
could you post tabs for this please
Great vid man! But i just noticed that you played a couple of sections wrong but.....ahhh small details
Lol yeah, it'd be cool to do a 100% accurate version one day, this one was rushed
3:55 (Dragonforce - Through the Fire and The Flames intro)
strangely enough, this puts a great perespective on just how brutal steping solo B is
I really don't understand how it's possible not to like this. It's absolutely fucking amazing. I didn't know your channel but I'm really without words, particularly for this video. Congratulations 🙇
Thank you a lot :) I guess the guitar tone could be a little bit better haha, I've been working on it recently
At the gym listening to this. What has my life become. So sick man, love every bit of this!!!
Woah, that's actually a cool idea lol. Most intense workout song
Synthetic verse has got to be one of the best parts of this cover, amazing job
Thanks, yup it's very synthetic
the way the guitar syncs with the throwback section is beautiful
Is it bad that I've listened to this twice a day for the past month? probably
not
1:45-2:30 will always be my favorite part of this song
can we start a petition to replace Soulless 4 with this?
It's damn well fitting that STepping Solo B is the angriest sounding part of this song on a guitar. Great shit.
A few suggestions:
Ode to insanity
Battle Storm
Universes
Great job, dude!
Thanks, I didn't realise there were so many :P
UNIVERSES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE
HalfDuck Heroes of War please
OMG, he better do Ode to Insanity
Omnispace16 boy do i second heroes of war
basically FC in Rocksmith 2014
btw, great guitar play. In freaking dying look how awesome is this
This is amazing! I love how it just goes with it! You should definitely try Soulless 2! :)
Holy FUCK dude this is so perfect. Your playing is also flawless. I never thought someone would be so out of his mind to actually transcribe this to a real guitar lol
Can we get some tabs? >.>
I'm making a tab for Soulless 2 as I'm learning it, with the aim of making it somewhat playable in one take :)
HalfDuck GOAT
I know this is super late but there's a guitar tab on Ultimate Guitar. Good luck though as that one is not remotely "Undercharted" and some of the licks in that are impossible to even read let alone play.
Idk why but I always personally liked the part at 2:01 it’s just cool and to hear it on a real guitar is so so so awesome, massive props to you for making it happen!
I'm actually really happy you have video for the whole song this time :D
this is so impressive man thank you so much I’ve always wondered what this would sound like. You’re insanely talented bro
3:56 TTFAF intro?
X5ync how the hell is that ttfaf it sounds nothing like that
Inceptionz just think it as an acoustic/clean sound then it would sound pretty much like it.
X5ync hmm I guess your right
ExileLord, was that intentional?
BluCoolKnux In the oringinal, it didnt sound like that.
HD added it in.
Such a variety of tones yet so clean. You are amazing
The synth doubling everything I play kinda hides the sloppiness a bit :p
How long did it take you to figure out how to convert this from bleep bloop to actual guitar? It must've been hellish
Not super long, just a case of figuring out the patterns, then finding a way to make it playable enough to record
Id bet. Shits crazy, well done
VeMM0 yeah he probably went through exile's hell to get this lol get it?
Jabooty247 Eyyyyyyyyyyy fingerguns
VeMM0 lol
Omg he hit stepping solo b to breaker transition!!!
I really need an tab from 1:45, sounds so sick
Its right there though??
Woah, guitar hero invented an instrument! That’s insane what guitar hero was able to do during its lifespan
This is goals.
honestly.
I suppose you learned to play this by ear.
and it's... well, pretty long y'know? 12 minutes it's a lot of things to learn...
i've been playing guitar for about 7 years I think, and I don't think I can learn rn a 12 minutes song without losing my mind
so yeah, aside from the amazing cover, 100% respect for your consistency
Thank you :) I got lazy with some parts and kinda played my own thing instead of learning it. Soulless 5 is 18 minutes long and I did that one pretty much note for note almost haha
Pretty sure it’s fcable on plastic guitar with 5 frets and 1 string if you’re able to play this perfectly with more than 12 frets and 6 strings
This is still one of the most incredible covers I’ve ever seen
This is so accurate its scary.... your a god dude
You are the most underrated guitarist ever.
Damn.. I really thought one million was possible :(
I can't remember if I said it previously, but holy balls Fatalism A and B sound SO GOOD on actual guitar.
only a tech FC Kappa
(gg tho absolutely amazing)
was looking for this comment
LOVED the mercy segment! Especially when it gets to the higher tone!
You just made Soulless 4 a million times better. I'm actually so fucking impressed.
Thanks :) If I knew it was gonna get this much attention, I'd have spent a little more time getting the mix right, the guitar could be a bit louder
HalfDuck I actually agree with increasing the volume.
Machinations A and the 9:27 transition.
I'm clapping my hands to my phone right now. Great job, man!
:D The transition is easier on guitar because the frets are right next to where you pick
Still impressive. I'm a musician, I know that this is something to bem impressed congrats!
Man this was dope. Listened to the whole thing at least four or five times now. I am really curious to know your rig and your setup used in this video!
Even better the second time around. I was looking forward to hearing this again today. :D
Imagine the nerves.
Amazing work. You made the Stepping B/Breaker transition (9:25-9:35) look like nothing.
No random strums required + a much larger timing window makes it a lot easier :P
most underrated gh player ever tbh Kappa
table
HalfDuck now I hate you Kappa
All the plastic pretend rockstars wish they could play like you. You are a freaking legend. I hope you cover more songs and not just GH songs.
Rock band 3 : Soulless 4 FC pro guitar
That stepping to breaker transition was beautiful
THERE ARE NO WORDS ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH THAT CAN EXPLAIN HOW SPECTACULARLY ERECT I AM
The amount of subs you're about to get brother. SICK JOB
Now it's time for the ultimate challenge Souless 4 Rocksmith edition you up for that Halfduck
This would be cool as fuck, doable too
Someone make a rocksmith edition please
Make it for guitar on Rocksmith...
Then transpose it for bass.
and make different difficulties so 99% of us can actually play it on like 5% difficulty kthx
I can make it in rocksmith if i get tabs and a mp3, im not gonna tab it out myself from the video, i used to make a lot of songs on customforge and some of the highly rated once

this ain't an fc, he spliced it
Shut the fuck up

This is a great track. Epic and filthy. A lot of Rammstein feel to it in places, and Dragon Force, and Power Metal in general.
3:25 is my favorite part
Thanks :)
Is very nice
Fatalism is a banger🥶🥶🥶
Dude, this is so fuckin cool. Already love watching the S4 GH grinds on Twitch, then I found this through Jdurand. Great job!
Yeah there's something addicting about watching people grind this song, waiting for the chokes

will do memes 4 viewz
