He is not perfect and that's why I like him. I don't know why but I prefer being how this kind of guitarist that virtuosos. Maybe because my technique is closer to his style.
Bjorn and Jesper are two unrivalled guitarists in terms of their sheer ability. I'm learning guitar and I'm in complete awe of how amazing the composition to some of these songs are. This lesson's pretty badass.
Not sure if I would say unrivalled, but to me they are the best. They basically took concepts from Iron Maiden and Death and combined them, which is a pretty awesome combo.
yeah, thats one of the reasons this band is so awesome. theyve got the status of metal legends in many people, they tour accross the world, their shows are of the big music business caliber, yet theyre as down to earth as some unknown, underground band.
Yeah, the 2nd half of that riff where it leads into the next measure is a bit screwy, since a half-beat open string to end a measure isn't very common. Sticking it between two 5s makes it worse, and the fact that the riff is so tight doesn't help, either I'd say find what works for you, then stick to it. Bjorn uses his index, middle, and pinky then never moves his hand, but I only use my index and ring, since I don't like keeping my fingers spread out for that long, and I like jumping around
But yeah, playing in perfect time is where it gets tricky. Best advice I can give is that the song is played at 4/4 time, & the main riff is eight notes; that's one note per half beat (down/up=two notes). Practice playing it slow enough to where you can land each note at each half beat, then gradually increase the pace until you're up to speed Don't forget that like many In Flames songs, this is played in B flat minor (half notes only save for C & F, but B#=C, E#=F), so knowing that scale helps
You know, I actually just figured out how to play at least a passable version of both parts to this song (I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate) about a month ago after hours of going back and forth between this video, several fan-made covers, online tabs, and the judgements of my own ear. Even now, I still wouldn't say "it's very simple..."
yeah i can play it slow, but when at real speed, i just mess my fingers up at some point. the rest of the song is easy. the part i find difficult is the A# : 0 3 5 F: 0 5 part because the change from the 5th fret A# string to F open is unusual to my hands. gotta practise that more.
LOL definitely. Idk if it's thr video quality or record quality but we should get a re-vamp of this. Afterall, you can never get too much of a badass band showing you how they play their songs.
i think hes referring to the shapes and note choices as being not that hard and complicated, which they actually arent. but playing it tight is a whole other story. that main riff is giving me nightmares. i always lose track of where i am in it.
Eh, maybe. I showed the main riff to my youngest brother, and he knows hardly anything about guitar (despite owning one and my constant assertions that he should look more into it), but he kind of understood it. I still wouldn't call it "simple;" at least not simple enough for a beginner.
how the hell does he tune that low on a les paul?? i don't care how thick those strings are, that scale length is way too short to support that tuning.
I wish Bjorn would stop saying "It's very simple..." IT'S NOT SIMPLE. I've been playing guitar for about six years now and this sh!t still isn't simple. The Chosen Pessimist is simple. Hell, most of Amon Amarth's material is simple compared to some of the stuff In Flames has cranked out. Maybe it's simple when you're a God of shredding like these two are, but for the rest of us plebeians... come on, throw me a freaking bone.
What amazing guitar tone 0:11. Dear mother of god
What I love about Bjorn is that he admits that he isn't as fast and accurate as he would like to be. He's humble.
And that makes him a 100x more relatable to most guitarists. They are phenomenal
He is not perfect and that's why I like him. I don't know why but I prefer being how this kind of guitarist that virtuosos. Maybe because my technique is closer to his style.

They are amazing!

"its very simple!" its only simple for you Bjorn cuz youre an amazing guitarist
Not simple to play but he meant it’s simple musically, as in the notes are all in the minor pentatonic scale.
yeah, thats one of the reasons this band is so awesome. theyve got the status of metal legends in many people, they tour accross the world, their shows are of the big music business caliber, yet theyre as down to earth as some unknown, underground band.
in flames is the best thanks to sharing your skills with noob like me really apreciated
Jesper playing and sound (picking technique) much more clean than Bjorn..
Jesper is a good and humble guy..
Björn is a f*king genious, a legend!
I love these vids, thanks!
"Only down strokes, that's why it's cool" lol ...ohhh now I know the key to god mode

@oOMetalManiaOo They both are... That's why they are In fucking Flames!!!!!
0:11 put this on repeat \,,/

Nice Video It helps me so much by learning play the guitar but the quality is from a toaster
@Bazzabazeman basically it is "soo FEW pixels.." LOOL
So... Many... Pixels.... but i love this anyway
LOL definitely. Idk if it's thr video quality or record quality but we should get a re-vamp of this. Afterall, you can never get too much of a badass band showing you how they play their songs.
haha i know that feelin bro XD
JAJAJA for bjorn all is very simple xD
i think hes referring to the shapes and note choices as being not that hard and complicated, which they actually arent.
but playing it tight is a whole other story.
that main riff is giving me nightmares. i always lose track of where i am in it.

if i could ever pull this full song off, i bet the girls in my country would bow down for me... lol
With great power, comes great responsibility. Lol
But yeah
@Winterhe4rt What I meant was more like... Such... Big... Pixels...
its a very simple ...
I actually liked when he played it slower.
instedenfor
shut up about the pixels and enjoy
240p we meet again
После сего видео 2 вопроса: 1. После такого урока кому то прям ясно что то стало? 2. Джеспер по жизни перепуган?))))))

Jesper has a very different picking style..
you like design the skyline. anything you say is invalid
