Burn.

Talking with Jordan tonight, swapping YouTube videos of godly guitar prowess. He burned me.

02:54:56 Jordan: didn’t you use to be able tos weep
02:54:58 I: buried.
02:55:15 I: sure man, I’m sure I still could if I were warmed up
02:55:27 Jordan: like that?
02:55:35 I: but the WM solo isn’t about the sweeps like the TGE one, it’s all horizontal runs
02:55:42 Jordan: i dont even know how to practice taht shit
02:55:42 I: I DEFINITELY never played Loomis
02:56:18 Jordan: loling
02:56:18 Jordan: this is retarded
02:56:26 Jordan: teach me how to do sweeps
02:56:33 Jordan: and i’ll teach you how to make a melody.
02:56:36 I: burn.
02:56:47 Jordan: ;)

Ouch. The videos we were watching were of the solos from “Winter Madness” (WM) and “This Godless Endeavor” (TGE). Behold:

Wintersun - Winter Madness (solo), performed by Rasite

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor (solo portion), performed by Rasite

I highly recommend any interested parties check out all videos by Rasite, the beast who recorded both of those. He’s got some killer performances up. (His rendition of Mourning Heart by Ensiferum is particularly choice.) If I can get ahold of a guitar over here, I’ll post videos of me playing those.

If I ever learn to sweep like that, of course.
