Wintersun - Storm (Guitar Cover)

Описание: Jari and Teemu must have mechanical arms to be able to play this song, seven minutes of sixteenth notes at 185 BPM is ridiculous! I got reasonably close though, even if I did cheat a bit in the chorus :D

Not too difficult for the left hand (Apart from the solo of course, which I obviously skipped because it's far too difficult for the left hand XD), but this is undoubtedly the hardest thing I've ever played for the picking hand. Not just because of the speed, but the timing stuff as well: the second and third riffs behind the solo already require counting numbers to get them right, and things just get worse after the solo ends! :D Spent probably something like two hours practicing nothing but the section between the solo and the last chorus to get it up to speed and it's still not perfect XD

Of course, the song's not exactly easy to remember either.

Oh, and Jari put in a two-whole-steps bend in the last solo? What the heck XD I'm not going to even try that with my set of 11s :D
