Hell yeah!! Great lesson here, I'd love to also see a breakdown of the "killer" riff one day 👍

Wintersun

Thanks! 🙏 Noted, will do the Killer Riff probably next! -Teemu

Saw you play this live back in 2018! Was so fun getting to jam out with you guys that night! If I recall, Heiki was not feeling great that night, but still delivered a spectacular performance!

Another great lesson, thank you for that ! Quick question, any particular reason for playing the last triplet of the first bar with the index + middle fingers instead of a "barred" index ?

epic song, epic video!

I don't play guitar - and am not intending to - but even I find these tutorials really interesting. It really helps me appreciate the musicianship required to play the songs. This one is also one of my favourite songs. I was introduced to Wintersun via TIME I so got used to that sound. It took me a little while but I eventually fell in love with the debut album as well - especially Battle Against Time.

I really like how the end section sounds with the open A on the last descending run. Very clever writing there :) Looking forward to part 2 since I've been tempted to learn it by ear, but it sounds very chaotic haha

Thanks a lot Teemu for making this video! I never though of picking the 12-8-8 part down up up, I always played it down up down so now I have something to practice! At first it feels a bit more difficult but the motion is so much smaller so it is definitely worth it to re-train! The way you explained thinking of the dynamics really helped me in relaxing my picking hand as well :)
