@@thorny3218The whole reason why I listen to Metallica but none of the other thrash metal bands is because their music is so well written. It’s very symphonic in nature and pretty much classical music played with guitars. Both S&M concerts prove that. When you listen to those, the San Francisco Symphony fits PERFECTLY and sounds like it was meant to be there. It elevates already amazing music to the next level. I think the S&M version of “Hero of the Day” is my favorite Metallica song and one of the best ever written. It’s a perfect power ballad!
At 0:24, the note choices are so unique and tasteful. His phrasing makes it sound like the first time ever hearing this classic. Needless to say, Ichika is a genius.
No, he doesn't play many of the different parts of the instrument simultaneously. This piece is not that difficult to play. He's just got a stupid looking guitar.
@nichan2475 they are playing 2 different instrumentals at the same time. The bassline is included in the guitar in this. Probably not incredibly difficult for this song and the reason the bass and guitar are seperate for some songs is simply because the guitar doesn't go that low and they want low notes. Nothing else matters has a pretty easy bassline. There are some missed bass notes in this I believe, I may be mistaken as I've only played it through listening to it on bass, but it sounds great and super similar to the og. Still impressive and not beginner work.
Whenever i watch this, I cannot stop at one, or two, i have to listen it at least three or more times. This isn't just a show off, that "ok, i can play on this, with "infinite" strings", this actually adds more to the song, and you play with your own style, but with respect to metallica. You are a great musician.
Could be wrong, but it seems like all the strings are making a lot of redundant notes, allowing more freedom to move if you're conscious of which register you're playing in. A lot of the chord shapes they do are the same as in the regular song at many points, just sometimes on different parts of the instrument. Meaning, it seems like just a regular guitar but with more strings. I'm sure with practice the basics could be picked up rather quickly if you know guitar already. Now playing it as well as them is another story entirely lol
To me it looks like the bass strings are mostly just tuned in a way that allows you to hit the open and let them ring while playing the main progression. I don’t think there is much more to it unless you are feeling creative and want to do something with lower notes.
@@kishascape And a great board Harps don't have those... In fairly sure this beat doesn't even have brackets so your fibsibg the notes blindly, like on a violin or something ✌
I truly and thoroughly appreciate a guitarist that incorporates harmonics into their playing. It adds a simple, yet enjoyable, melodic twang that just vibrates the soul. Just beauty and calm in the eye of the storm
Cant believe this has been posted for a year and I'm just seeing it now. Perfect matchup of song and instrument. Perfectly played. Going to sub just to find more of this music.
Aside from the actual talent here, what's great about this is a personal take on a song. I was watching a video of Herman from Dragonforce watching someone play through the fire and flames, and he said while it's technically really good, it's exactly like the original, which has already been done. He said he'd rather see someone put their own spin on it, which is what was done here, and which is why this is excellent. Thanks!
Lord, that’s beautiful! I’ve heard that in years past and I’m 71y/o now. I didn’t even know they made such an instrument. Only 6 and 12 strings. Unbelievable playing! Amazing. Orchestral all alone! Thanks for the beauty!!
I’ve lost count how many times I listened and watched.. I’m mesmerised at how simple she made this look. It sounds heavenly.. I’d be more than happy to pay to watch her in a concert if this is the level she plays at.. absolutely fantastic!
I always wonder if the original performers see these videos and are in awe like I am. That was totally amazing to watch. I can't even fathom the time it took to become so talented.
Now that’s incredible technique!! I loved the fact it was so dynamic and responsive without any overdrive or distortion. Very reminiscent of Mike Dawes yet still very original. Keep up the good work!
You know there are tuning machines that do it automatically or just measure the pitch for you. So couple of minutes tops. If you need to put new strings then it's a bit longer.
This is like if a Piano and a Guitar had a child... I dig it and would love to see someone dona whole album utilizing it as a centerpiece to show off it's range and the unique skill set that is playing this thing in creative, unique ways.
@@penultimania4295 The original isn't too hard, I learnt it within my first year of playing. I think most of the people that struggle with it are just used to playing rock/metal with a plectrum so struggle with the pseudo-classical style.
Bravo sir! There's nothing going on in this video that isn't mind-blowingly impressive. The connection that exists between you and your instrument is stunning to watch. I am an instant fan. Thanks for sharing!
The first 3 seconds of you playing it,i knew it was the song "nothing else matters". its my most favorite song,and seeing u showing your own version of it with a 16-string guitar was truly amazing for me,it made me had legit tears coming from my eyes from nostalgicsm and excitment.and btw its the first time i ever seen a 16-string guitar,its actually crazy for me to believe😂.
A guitar like that must be both a blessing and a curse as you're mind must want to explode thinking about all the different harmonic possibilities and ways to play even the same song
@@sachsenschlachter6401 this guitar has way more versatility than a piano. with 14 strings each of various widths and lengths you can achieve not only 14 completely unique sounds, but each can be played at several different octaves, and the variability of finger positioning allows one to achieve microtones that don't exist on the typical piano unless you intentionally retune it as such. digital pianos don't even stand a chance at replicating that because most software does not support anything outside of the typical chromatic scale. perhaps the only thing this can't do vs a piano is the various control pianos get from their pedals, but deft fingerwork can replicate those effects to some extent.
Beautiful and magical! What an amazing instrument` and your mastery of it is amazing. I have a 12 string I need to get back to, but wow... I'd love to learn to play one of these.
If you think Ichika would've got in the band immediately, you're wrong. Remember Les Claypool tried to get in the band, but they didn't let him in 'cause, and i quote, _he was too good._ i fear Ichika would be a similar case.
That's what I immediately thought of. Metallica has never been interested in being the best technical players alive. That said, this song could actually have been made better with Ichika's style.
I knew about that but still was a shitty reason in My opinion because Cliff Burton is not only one of the best bassist of all time, in My opinion is the Best musician who ever played thrash metal. Skill wise he was better than the rest of the band so Les is.
Wow, that literally gave me goose bumps, well done and beautiful, 💯% agree with the the previous comments…. She should play on as the pre-show for a Metallica Concert.
Talent level unknown. As a common man who knows very little about guitar I cannot even imagine the amount of hours he has put into that instrument to reach this level. Keep playing for us ❤
@@lunatechdesignsmedia they have been crazy good for a long time then. What is special is seeing people playing them, which is not as common as people playing other instruments.
Wow! Whatta talent and whatta guitar! God I wish I continued playing guitar but I fell in love with hardcore techno and so I create it. I have machines that do all the work so there is no comparison. Proost, skoal and cheers from Quebec!
You've gone and outed yourself as a paranormal citizen of this world! That my dear, was incredible! The time that you must have put in to master this skill is remarkable to say the least. Well done!
it's literally the easiest Metallica song, you don't even need to press any strings down during the intro piece. he just made it harder by playing it using harmonics instead.
It's one of the most, if not the most, brilliant yet NOT AT ALL difficult intros ever. Lots of open notes, which as Joe Satriani said, "When you get right down to it, it's always the easiest chords & open note sequences that sound the best versus the overly complex chords & complex note combinations. I always tell new students to the instrument that less is truly more. The guitar is an expressive instrument. You express what your thinking and feeling through it more so than any other instrument. So the best guitarists & true artists of the instrument seek to find the combination of the best sounding intonations, chord and note sequences as well as vibrato and phrasing" (The MASTER SENSEI- Joe Satriani 🙂) Kirk Hammett mastered that. Most especially his note selection/combinations, picking technique. Remember, there's many who can cover a great solo, but there's a BIG difference between the ONE'S who can "cover" & the ONE who actually composed it originally.
As a human being I am sincerely and truly grateful to you for creating this heavenly sound and having the grace and generosity to share it with us. Love
@@Riceman-o1p oh my god you're amazing, I pray guys like you last for eternity, you make the world a better place love❤️❤️❤️❤️By the way I laughed so hard
One word - How? Just how does he do this? And with such taste and soul. On the day we are mourning the loss of the guitar god who was Jeff Beck, the is both a beautiful piece of music to listen to - and a hopeful reminder that the guitar lives on in no uncertain terms with phenomenal young players such as Ichika.

@@sachsenschlachter6401 this guitar has way more versatility than a piano. with 14 strings each of various widths and lengths you can achieve not only 14 completely unique sounds, but each can be played at several different octaves, and the variability of finger positioning allows one to achieve microtones that don't exist on the typical piano unless you intentionally retune it as such. digital pianos don't even stand a chance at replicating that because most software does not support anything outside of the typical chromatic scale. perhaps the only thing this can't do vs a piano is the various control pianos get from their pedals, but deft fingerwork can replicate those effects to some extent.
Outstanding, magical skills! Treasure your gift, and please continue to share it.
Beautiful and magical! What an amazing instrument` and your mastery of it is amazing. I have a 12 string I need to get back to, but wow... I'd love to learn to play one of these.
If you think Ichika would've got in the band immediately, you're wrong. Remember Les Claypool tried to get in the band, but they didn't let him in 'cause, and i quote, _he was too good._ i fear Ichika would be a similar case.
That's what I immediately thought of. Metallica has never been interested in being the best technical players alive. That said, this song could actually have been made better with Ichika's style.
@@wob6776 nah, you can’t improve perfection in a song.
I knew about that but still was a shitty reason in My opinion because Cliff Burton is not only one of the best bassist of all time, in My opinion is the Best musician who ever played thrash metal. Skill wise he was better than the rest of the band so Les is.
@@wob6776 What style? He is covering a song lol. If you think using different octaves is "style" then gtfo lol. For real.
@@reitairue2073 He's doing much more than just adding octaves.
This man has mastered harmonics. So beautiful.
I believe it's a Woman.
Those look like female hands.
Wonderful Musician....🎶🎶
@@mattrichey9501 Look at pictures of his face, his fandom wiki also refers to him as a guy.
@@mattrichey9501 🗿bruh. He is a dude
@@mattrichey9501 no, this is a guy
@@nyzrh isn't it funny how certain physical features can hint to or mean something towards signifying a gender type? Humans are complicated for sure
This is fucking outstanding!!! The sound is just on another level man. So impressed. You need too do the whole song
Wow, that literally gave me goose bumps, well done and beautiful, 💯% agree with the the previous comments…. She should play on as the pre-show for a Metallica Concert.
Talent level unknown. As a common man who knows very little about guitar I cannot even imagine the amount of hours he has put into that instrument to reach this level. Keep playing for us ❤
not just the hours, hen he had played for a year he was already 500000 million times better than me after 5 years he's dedicated asf it's crazy
Crazy talented!!!!! Any band would be lucky to have you
Absolutley blown away this was incredible such a talent, just amazing keep it up 🤙
It’s almost like a base fused with a guitar. Crazy good
such intruments have been around for a long time
@@lunatechdesignsmedia they have been crazy good for a long time then.
What is special is seeing people playing them, which is not as common as people playing other instruments.
It reminds me of a harp and a guitar
its a guitarp
it is a bass fused with a guitar
6 string bass on top, 8 string guitar on bottom
Wow! Whatta talent and whatta guitar! God I wish I continued playing guitar but I fell in love with hardcore techno and so I create it. I have machines that do all the work so there is no comparison. Proost, skoal and cheers from Quebec!
You've gone and outed yourself as a paranormal citizen of this world! That my dear, was incredible! The time that you must have put in to master this skill is remarkable to say the least. Well done!
Exatamente o que eu penso.
Não é normal!!!
Isso não existe!!!
Nice to see a wider audience find you. This guy is one of the great master guitarist alive! Genius at the highest level!
Your confidence and absolute mastery of very complicated songs is jaw-dropping. Especially on one crazy ass instrument
it's literally the easiest Metallica song, you don't even need to press any strings down during the intro piece. he just made it harder by playing it using harmonics instead.
Very complicated songs. Lmao it’s two Chords
James hetfield litterally came up with it while on the phone just fumbling around with the guitar one handed.
@@SunnyHippies and the rest.
It's one of the most, if not the most, brilliant yet NOT AT ALL difficult intros ever. Lots of open notes, which as Joe Satriani said,
"When you get right down to it, it's always the easiest chords & open note sequences that sound the best versus the overly complex chords & complex note combinations. I always tell new students to the instrument that less is truly more. The guitar is an expressive instrument. You express what your thinking and feeling through it more so than any other instrument. So the best guitarists & true artists of the instrument seek to find the combination of the best sounding intonations, chord and note sequences as well as vibrato and phrasing"
(The MASTER SENSEI- Joe Satriani 🙂)
Kirk Hammett mastered that. Most especially his note selection/combinations, picking technique. Remember, there's many who can cover a great solo, but there's a BIG difference between the ONE'S who can "cover" & the ONE who actually composed it originally.
Nice work loved it.
As a human being I am sincerely and truly grateful to you for creating this heavenly sound and having the grace and generosity to share it with us. Love
As a dog, I appreciate it also, it is very good music.
@@Riceman-o1p oh my god you're amazing, I pray guys like you last for eternity, you make the world a better place love❤️❤️❤️❤️By the way I laughed so hard
@@AmirparsaGarmsiri oh good! I was just being silly and I certainly didn't want to come across as a smart ass! 😂😂😂
Sent shivers down my spine this is beautiful.
shiver the whole night through
I wanted it to continue! Excellent work!
If they ever do another tribute album, a full version of this should be on it.
One word - How? Just how does he do this? And with such taste and soul. On the day we are mourning the loss of the guitar god who was Jeff Beck, the is both a beautiful piece of music to listen to - and a hopeful reminder that the guitar lives on in no uncertain terms with phenomenal young players such as Ichika.
A lot of harmonics...
Practise
by using MUSIC THEORY...
@@superblondeDotOrg Not sure about that. It's likely to be more by ear and reading the score.
The talent exuding from this person is astronomical
So impressed
Just gorgeous!
Thankyou
This has gotta be the best cover of nothing else matters, man I love the way you play!
Literally been playing this a hundred times. I just can't get over it, had no idea that a 14 STRING GUITAR exist
First time listening to your work, no idea what to expect. You start strumming and I start feeling emofions i haven't felt in god knows how long.
I thank you for this wonderful art.
*_May the winds of the stars fill your sails forever_*
Emofions taking me over
its almost as if nothing else matters
This is the single worst comment I have ever been at the displeasure of accidentally coming across
He's not strumming anything lol
