    THIS IS HOW PLAYTHROUGHS SHOULD BE.
    no fancy angles, no crazy zooms, no sweeping camera frames. Just exact close ups of what is be played. Focusing on what we want to see at certain riffs. Perfect.

      You are correct. According the first official guitar tab book (there are 2 versions of the book, the first book bound and then the spiral bound version released a few years later) released by the band, they indicate who plays what part. Christian does indeed play the melodic arpeggio during that part where is Steffen is fast double picking. It probably would have helped if Steffen got Rafael to participate in the video so we all didn't have to "decipher who's playing what and when". LOL. Overall, I'm happy Steffen decided to release a video for this song.
