The fact that he didn't edit out his little mistake shows he's really humble and honest. I think any metal band in the world would welcome him. And I wish I had that amp... Best metal tone I've heard in 20 years.
How is he more worthy than a guy that literally breathes, eats and sleeps this style of metal? Also, I don't know how likely they would be to gig with a "gimmick musician" like that.
Hey man I think you'd be the best pick for this position. I think it's cool that you show that you can make a mistake every now and again and I think it's wrong to expect robotic perfection and I hope the guys at Wintersun see it that way too!
It will be so cool if you become a part of Wintersun. You're an awesome guitarist, no doubt. It's only a matter of time before Jari picks up the phone and calls you. Plus, you've got the perfect Wintersun-ish long hair and not just any long hair. Can't wait to see you with Wintersun, bro!
Without breaking a sweat! I like that you left some human element in the video, it's more relatable than a flawless execution after a million takes. Hope you get the gig!
PartialViewmusic well, to be fair, most non Swedish speakers probably don’t even realize that Finnish isn’t part of the same language family as Swedish or Norwegian. To anybody who knows nothing about Nordic languages they likely sound pretty similar
Ive been away studying for a while and i was SO happy to come back and see that you tried out for Wintersun! I first knew of you listening to the winter madness solo cover ... YOURE THE PERFECT FIT! GOOD LUCK MAN. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!
HIRE... HIM... NOW... AND I MEAN FUCKING NOW!!! Great playing and attitude. He looks humble and that's important in learning and adapting to a band (Jari, take note) I'm more of a Goregrind/Pornogrind fan and like melodeath stuff, but hell... when someone has talent, you can hear it. Best of luck.
Hi, Garrett! Like the others, I think you have a good shot at this! I would hope that the group also visits your channel and sees who you are and watches the Wintersun covers you've posted from years ago as well as find out other influences you've shared. Your personality is A+ and your dedication is obvious. : ) Good luck! \|/
Marc Devereau They definitely know who he is haha. He got to go jam with Teemu at his home studio (I think it was at least?) one time. He shows it in a vlog video he did .
Very nicely done Garrett!! I really hope that they will choose you, but always keep in mind:,, Finnish is harder to learn, than their songs,... and you know what that means... maybe still easy for you"
Been a fan of yours for a while now, especially, coincidentally, your Wintersun covers, so seeing this, I just wish you the best for those auditions ! Cheers !
I remember seeing your old Wintersun cover videos awhile back and thinking "Oh yeah, he's the guitarist for Wintersun." Hopefully you will be now! Immaculate man!
I've watched every audition video I can find, and not only is the playing in yours the best, but you come across as so much more likable than any of the other candidates did. If you don't get the gig, I genuinely think it could only be because you aren't Finnish, which would be a shame.
1) I'm drunk. But 2) most importantly, your Wintersun audition vid appeared on my sidebar for the who-knows-how-manyth-time, and having watched yours and a bunch of others over the past month, I've gotta say...it'll be a crying fucking shame if you don't get the nod when all is said and done. Maybe I've just been watching a cutting room floor's collection of auditions, but I'm sorry, but you've clearly put in more work than any I've seen and have tone that's unmatched to back it all up. Again, I'm drunk, but because of which, I felt the need to personally inform you that I wish nothing but the best and hope that Jari and co. can accept the fact that an American boy can outplay the Finns and deserves a shot at this opportunity. The Shawdowless riffs sound fantastic by the way. Looking forward to seeing what direction that project takes. Best of luck my man. Cheers!
And Garrett is -I think- Pretty much the only one who hasn't made a statement saying he was not chosen. Fingers crossed for this talented, fabulously haired badass.
of all the videos I've seen of the wintersun auditions. I have to say, yours is the best by far. I don't know if they already chose their guitarist but I genuinely hope you got the part
It was awesome! I really enjoy of watching your videos! You're the best option for Wintersun. Good luck! Greetings from Colombia (S.A) PS. I guess I need that "Finnish for dummies" book too.
HOLY....! No words. If I would say your skill is higher than other applicants, its nothing. You are so high... it's like you are voyager-1 in compared to others.
I've been following you for years and I know you have more than enough chops to be their second guitar player! Best of luck man!! P.S. Cleanest sweeps for any of the auditions I've seen so far!
kick ass! Best of luck bro!!!
Thanks Rick! :D
Even the gods are on your side!
Great playing, but can we just take a moment to admire the wonderful hair.. I mean, Wintersun has to hire you for that fact alone..
Hell yes, better hair than most girls.
Yeah this guy is a girl with a beard. And maybe a penis I dunno
Looks and sounds perfect
I was thinking the same thing. I am definitely heterosexual.
@@paiviteehis hair sounds perfect?
That riff at 3:36 is honestly one of the coolest things I have ever heard, like damn
Dear Wintersun, PLEASE take this guy to your band!! I love the video and hope you the best!
ToastedCigar Nope haha fail
The fact that he didn't edit out his little mistake shows he's really humble and honest. I think any metal band in the world would welcome him. And I wish I had that amp... Best metal tone I've heard in 20 years.
Yes! Jari, pick this guy! He can play all of your stuff flawlessly and is a great guy!
You are a lot of FUN, and a EXCELLENT guitar player! :D loved this audition video! CHEERS!
Out of all the auditions for Wintersun....this guy is the winner so far.....just my opinion. Good luck Garrett Peters.
Can't think of anyone more worthy of filling that spot, fingers crossed hoping you get it man! :D
How is he more worthy than a guy that literally breathes, eats and sleeps this style of metal?
Also, I don't know how likely they would be to gig with a "gimmick musician" like that.
331erock is a great guitar player also, I can't compare these two but Erock has a formal musical education in addition to his shred.
Strange when someone you know personally becomes a minor celebrity....
I hope you get a place inside the band man. I would love to listen to Wintersun with you as a fulltime member. Good luck!
Hey man I think you'd be the best pick for this position. I think it's cool that you show that you can make a mistake every now and again and I think it's wrong to expect robotic perfection and I hope the guys at Wintersun see it that way too!
I agree! He's also very likely going to get the place since he's friends with Teemu. :~)
that tone is sick
I really liked the time in this video
***tone
If anyone deserves it you do, Good luck man.
Vibes your way man, good shit!
fucking. YESSS something tells me this is your destiny garrett you've always been a badass at wintersun riffage
It will be so cool if you become a part of Wintersun. You're an awesome guitarist, no doubt. It's only a matter of time before Jari picks up the phone and calls you. Plus, you've got the perfect Wintersun-ish long hair and not just any long hair. Can't wait to see you with Wintersun, bro!
holy FUCK those victory amps seriously sound like god damn marshalls on drugs
If im not entirely mistaken that's Bea's Victory Kraken, modified version of Chappers's red dwarf. Real awesome sounding.
not gonna deny that
I don't think it's related to the RD1 but yes, it is a Kraken. Absolutely killer amp. If only I had the money laying around for one.
Marshalls have always been on drugs, ask jimi hendrix
this is so fucking good lmao
You got this man hands down!
WINTERSUN PLEASE TAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL GREAT HARD WORKING GUITARIST
I love your hair
They' ill choose you!
you are the perfect guitarist for their band :D
Good luck Garrett! You are the only one truly deserving of such a title!
Without breaking a sweat! I like that you left some human element in the video, it's more relatable than a flawless execution after a million takes. Hope you get the gig!
Sick playing dude and good luck!!!
OMG I saw the Facebook post a couple weeks ago and immediately hoped you'd submit something!
And four years later, here I am watching this. You shred man!!!
It would be great to see you play with Wintersun! Good luck, man! :)
that sounded more swedish than finnish in the end haha
As a swede. No it did not, it sounded very finnish imo :)
But then again, I know very little finnish so who am I to judge.
The way of Chi 1
PartialViewmusic well, to be fair, most non Swedish speakers probably don’t even realize that Finnish isn’t part of the same language family as Swedish or Norwegian. To anybody who knows nothing about Nordic languages they likely sound pretty similar
3:34 best part imo.. holy shit.. Best of luck Garrett, I hope you get it!
Great player, great technique, great skill, great attitude. You deserve it
Great guitarist. All of the nominees, you nailed it. Thank you for the photo at the LA show. Awesome to see you there.
Damn, that second shadowless riff was absolutely awesome.
Fantastic!! Beautiful work!!Congratulations!
Man, I need studio version of "The Way of the Fire" now. The song is so epic and that riff gives me the chills.
One of my favorite auditions, you go Garrett!
Holy shit dude you nailed it!
Ive been away studying for a while and i was SO happy to come back and see that you tried out for Wintersun! I first knew of you listening to the winter madness solo cover ... YOURE THE PERFECT FIT! GOOD LUCK MAN. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!
Hope you get it, I love wintersun and you'd be a great addition.
Good luck man! Hope you get picked!
from a neutral view, this one is the best.
Garrett deserves to join the Wintersun Band.
Good luck.
Regards from Germany.
If anyone deserves this spot, it's you man.
HIRE... HIM... NOW... AND I MEAN FUCKING NOW!!!
Great playing and attitude. He looks humble and that's important in learning and adapting to a band (Jari, take note)
I'm more of a Goregrind/Pornogrind fan and like melodeath stuff, but hell... when someone has talent, you can hear it.
Best of luck.
Jari fanboy detected ^
Huge Wintersun fan here and Garret... Your audition was phenomenal, dude.
You got this, your playing is fantastic! Sending all the best your way

good luck Garrett, you're the man!
Garrett, we love you!
wintersun kickass🤘good luck mr garrett ,from south of California.🤘
Hi, Garrett! Like the others, I think you have a good shot at this! I would hope that the group also visits your channel
and sees who you are and watches the Wintersun covers you've posted from years ago as well as find out other
influences you've shared. Your personality is A+ and your dedication is obvious. : ) Good luck! \|/
Marc Devereau They definitely know who he is haha. He got to go jam with Teemu at his home studio (I think it was at least?) one time. He shows it in a vlog video he did .
I hope you make it, man! Been a fan of yours since the Climhazzard days and I can't think of a more deserving person!
dat sweep at 3:49 though... epic AF
It would be great to see Garrett playing in Wintersun!
Nice work! I wish you luck. Nice collection of Chapman gear too.
Sweet baby Jesus, that was awesome. Good luck!
you must be in that band ! awesome performance Garrett, I hope that you win !
You are so fucking happy during the start of the video, it actually made me happy
I wish you the best of luck, you deserve it!
Just checked this video and I must say that Wintersun is Wintersun and Garrett Peters is Garrett Peters. You are a great guitar player 👏👏
amazing tone! i might have to look into one of those kraken heads myself ;)
nevermoreshred 27 Man, the Victory amps are AMAZING
Good ! Wintersun is crazy difficult and love to see it played so precisely.
Very nicely done Garrett!! I really hope that they will choose you, but always keep in mind:,, Finnish is harder to learn, than their songs,... and you know what that means... maybe still easy for you"
Impressive audition Garrett. Good luck!
i checked out a bunch of audition video and you have the best takes by far imho
good luck and i hope to hear you on some new wintersun material \m/
Good job Garret! Hope the best for you!!
i love the way you're holding your guitar while sitting.
Just saw you in Leo's Video, Rock on, and good luck with your Audition entry.
You sweep like a boss. very impressive.
Been a fan of yours for a while now, especially, coincidentally, your Wintersun covers, so seeing this, I just wish you the best for those auditions ! Cheers !
Man, if you are willing to move to Helsinki, they HAVE to pick you!!! You rolled it, as always.
I remember seeing your old Wintersun cover videos awhile back and thinking "Oh yeah, he's the guitarist for Wintersun." Hopefully you will be now! Immaculate man!
Best one I've seen. A natural for the band \m/
I've watched every audition video I can find, and not only is the playing in yours the best, but you come across as so much more likable than any of the other candidates did. If you don't get the gig, I genuinely think it could only be because you aren't Finnish, which would be a shame.
awesome stuff :) best of luck to you garrett \m/
Come on Wintersun !!! He would be a perfect addition to the band :)
Wintersun is auditioning?! You can't even comprehend how happy this is making me. So we are getting Time II after all? Yes! YEES°
Time II D-76 😄
best audition so far imo, good luck!
Super solid, awesome job!
Good luck man. You nailed it.
Will be seeing you touring with the boys after Time II is realeased!
you deserve this man. incredible talent
I am finnish and you have my blessing! Wow! :D
You shred man! Love it!!
Well that certainly had it all! Well done.

This might be one of my favorite comments ever! Cheers :D
I dont think its about outplaying for them, its probably just easier to work with someone who lives close by and knows the language. : P
They'll probably choose Lassi Tiainen because he is really good + he's Finnish.
Okay I just read that he was not chosen. Garrett it is then!
And Garrett is -I think- Pretty much the only one who hasn't made a statement saying he was not chosen. Fingers crossed for this talented, fabulously haired badass.
Killer shredder! Phenomenal job!
Great band, great audition.
of all the videos I've seen of the wintersun auditions. I have to say, yours is the best by far. I don't know if they already chose their guitarist but I genuinely hope you got the part
I wish you the best Garrett
It was awesome! I really enjoy of watching your videos! You're the best option for Wintersun. Good luck!
Greetings from Colombia (S.A)
PS. I guess I need that "Finnish for dummies" book too.
OMG I HOPE WINTERSUN TAKE YOU IN. I LOVE THEM N YOU. PLEASE TAKE GARRETT
Good luck! You DESERVE to be in Wintersun xD
"Shadowless Riff #2" wtf??? O____O please, link to that song, now?! Killer riff and amazing job man!!!!
HOLY....! No words. If I would say your skill is higher than other applicants, its nothing. You are so high... it's like you are voyager-1 in compared to others.
You’re one of my favorite guitar players!!! As A guitar player I hope that means even the slightest thing to you dude!!
I've been following you for years and I know you have more than enough chops to be their second guitar player! Best of luck man!!
P.S. Cleanest sweeps for any of the auditions I've seen so far!
Totally your cup of tea man!😎❤🙏
God, this is awesome!! Wish you the best! (Very nice ending haha!)
Great playing, man! Best of luck!
I'm a huge fan of wintersun! The band would be sooo good if you were their guitarist! I love how clean you play. Some of the best I've seen online.
Great! Good luck, wish that you won the place on that band, you deserve!
I love your tone !
Flawless. Would be great to see you as a part of them.
Your skills are simply unreal
