Looking at what Christian does here, many people will have a hard time to learn those tabs, because of huge amount of tears dropping constantly and involuntary.
Exactly, he has been in Necrophagist, Obscura, and for me in the best Spawn of Possesion album, Incurso. And have done a lot of collabs with bands like Gorod, First Fragment... He is pretty underrated :(
It’s honestly so impressive how Christian has been able to adjust his style given his condition, such a hard working musician. Also that RG is friggin beautiful, proud to say I have a very similar 652 model
@@sayanmandal2246 not a 100% sure about it, but as I read and listen from other people with the condition, the pressure generated by the gloves helps stop the fingers from twitching and trembling too much so that chances of his finger being contracted are reduced.
The most "trademark" thing of his, to me, is his legato + tapping.. he can make such looong asc-/descending runs, filling in a ton of notes without touching the pick!

@@Александр-ф6в9э it’s probably likely, most bands do these days. Here it’s just the audio from the album, not his playing in the video. I have no doubts he can play this, but maybe not that squeaky clean.
Chris' playing on Cosmogenesis changed my approach to guitar. I've been a fan of everything he touches since then. And he just keeps getting better, incredible.
Я позже на Obscura с Крисом попал. Через Necrophagist в 2020. Так бывает. И тоже полное переформатирование. Я счастлив, что в моём времени есть такой композитор! ✊
This guy next to Justin McKinney is like the unsung hero of technical death metal. Played in Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, and now Obscura? Dude's a fucking legend.
All you need to sweep cleanly is a decent lead tone with not too much gain, a noise gate (which doesnt affect the sound when you're actually playing a note), and a good technique. He's also using the neck pickup for the solo. You don't need to heavily chop anything. (Also please do not turn the volume knob on your guitar to max.)
@@lashedandscorned Why not have volume at max... Always been curious about this, I can understand with like EMGs but as someone who uses passives, why not.
Thank you for this comment, I was wondering why he use a glove, but I guess it has something to do with his disease. I love Obscura but I dont know much about the dudes, other than they all are extremely talented of course
I wished i could sell my soul for these guitar skills but sadly i am a redhead. On a more serious note this makes me happy. Happy that there is a new album, happy that Christian is back and happy that he found a way to still play guitar on a top master level despite the condition. If you read this Christian: you rock, i wish you tons of guitar related fun that is not spoiled by the condition.
Dude is ten times the guitarist I'll ever be, without even having the use of his middle finger. So damn inspiring how he worked through what would have stopped most musicians in their tracks. Insanely good album too.
@@clem_chret He has focal dystonia. I believe the glove allows him a little use of his middle finger, but without it, he basically had to relearn guitar with one less finger. Here you can tell the way he uses it less and the position it's in that his hand still has some issues.
@@Circaninesix Inkniw his condition but I though it concerned his whole hand. But yeah about his middle finger, it seems he is using it less then we would do but he is using it :)
Such a sick player and sick song! And can we talk about how on point those sweeps are with the rhythm of the double bass at 0:54, 1:58, and 3:28?? just mind blowing how they can keep in sync with each other so cleanly like that 🤯
I just saw Obscura last night in Calgary and I was at the front not even two feet away from Christian and I was absolutely blown away when Solaris was being played and whenever he would play a lead. Truly inspiring
Brilliant is an understatement, the riffing is mind-blowing. His ability to cleanly switch between down-picks, up-picks and alternates, plus sweeps in a superbly seamless fashion is incredible.
Wow. I keep typing about how he does something sick and then I delete it because I see something better I want to mention… every aspect is sick. His right hand looked about as loose as my mom after her divorce. Phenomenal
Christian is the best guitar player probably in all history just because he manages to encompass all the evolution of the instrument in his compositions I mean... For real we guitar players should learn the way he did is the pinnacle of guitar 😮😮😮
Been listening since these guys since 2010. Love how they can write play so many things; full-on (neo)classical, death metal, jazz, or even give techdeath a really ethereal sunday chill vibe like the song Akroasis. Truly outstanding musicians!
From 2:41 to 2:58 i have evidenced the most amazing neoclassical arpeggio runs i would love to know the chord progression there there was so much tension carried OMG Bach in neoshred😍😌
Loving the sonics of this record (along with the crushing riffs I've heard so far). So crisp and clear with a #savage low end. 😏 Can clearly hear everything going on. 👊 Great playthrough Christian!
Enjoy your life Chris my friend. I am also the chosen one. Have a good night. I hope you have a good life too and I mean that from one neoclassical guitarist to the next.
I just checked A Valediction on Wikipedia and wow I didn't know Muenzner wrote that much material in A Valediction, he's more talented than I thought, although I already knew he was

Não é apenas o verdadeiro, mas sim o mais técnico, melodico e bem construído.
100%.
Christian plays at 75% better than most players at 100%
And with Focal Dystonia
It’s honestly so impressive how Christian has been able to adjust his style given his condition, such a hard working musician.

Christian always been a complete inspiration since Necrophagist and now to see his level of playing evolve despite focal dystonia is simply the best
You're right you can see the necrophagist towards 2:38

Dude's a fucking legend.
And now obscura? He’s been in the band before this, like 2008-2014
Man, those sweeps are so on point they almost sound like MIDI.
Clean as heck, but heavily chopped/edited and gated for sure.

You just love to see those hands working at such optimal capacity, after Münzner's disease (focal dystonia)
@@chopholtz4950 Oh, I meant "after" being diagnosed with it, and having to find a way to adapt to it - sorry.
I agree. He's a fucking beast that doesn't give up.
That harmonized part with the neapolitan & diminished chords is really cool as well.

@@ericweelie9465 The glove helps against the contractions in one of his fingers on the left hand iirc.
Christian is a shredder... He's a wonderful teacher too...
At first I thought "holy cow, this dude has practiced so much that his hand skin has loosened a lot". Then I realized it was a glove.
I wished i could sell my soul for these guitar skills but sadly i am a redhead.
On a more serious note this makes me happy. Happy that there is a new album, happy that Christian is back and happy that he found a way to still play guitar on a top master level despite the condition.

Herr Münzner, Es ist sehr bewundernswert, Sie trotz allem spielen zu sehen. Danke für alles.
It blows my mind how anyone can be this good at guitar.
Holy shit, that was orgasmic. The songwriting, musicianship and production quality is incredible. I can't wait for this album!
Αριστούργημα
A masterpiece
Stabwound solo vibes, Munzner so good
Unreal!
Chris, you are an absolute inspiration.
Wow. I keep typing about how he does something sick and then I delete it because I see something better I want to mention… every aspect is sick. His right hand looked about as loose as my mom after her divorce. Phenomenal
the best glove that I have never seen
i keep coming back to this so often, i think this is going to be one of my all time tech death songs of the century, ngl
He's so graceful its insane, looks inhuman. He makes it seem like anyone in the world can do that
Christian is the best guitar player probably in all history just because he manages to encompass all the evolution of the instrument in his compositions I mean... For real we guitar players should learn the way he did is the pinnacle of guitar 😮😮😮

Can you indicate Bach songs that sound like this? I just know the fugue in Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
The Master has returned
My favorite guitarist
A God among men. So much respect. A true master.
amazing, i want to see u playing when stars collide
2021 is hands down the best year in death metal in a very long time.
Truly is going...It started strong then It stang....finally from angust on It seems that every death METAL band would release an album!!
This is the best obscura song in a while, so stoked to see Christian and Jeroen again. I can’t wait to learn this one.
The slightly less attacked low E note at 0:23 gave you away as being human!
Everything about this is perfect. I'm beyond excited for this album now. It's great to hear Christian back in the band.
Up down up down.Boom!
First the gardening, then the shredding
Simply amazing mr. Münzner! Great to see you back!
We ask, you guys always deliver!! Thank you!
The guitar work on these 3 new songs is completely out of this world!
Christian for the win. I feel like you guys had much more fun doing this record than any previous. I'm here for it.
Genius
this guy is so insane!!! lucky I found his works in RUclips a couple months ago... can't stop listening to this
You're inspiration Christian, so glad you're back in the band 🤘
Favorite guitarist is back in my favorite band. Life is good
Love the "At the Gates" hint in there.
Sickkk
A fucking glove while playing.... next level Christian

Impressive!
I hope you're not in pain. Best wishes for a quick recovery!
He is the best! Welcome back!
christian is aweinspiring!great band too cheers
Обожаю Вас!!!!
That guitar solo & nasty ass riff throughout the track tho 😍😍 more reasons to add to why Christian is my favorite modern day metal guitar player.
This guy kicks ass!
Fuck that was one of coolest videos I've ever seen, what a killer song. insane performance by mighty Christian as always.
So glad he's back in Obscura.
He always makes it look so effortless
Beautiful guitar and insane guitar. Waooo.
Master of tapping 🔥🔥🔥
Keep on rockin Kristian! Incredibly amazing!
NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!
Very impressive as usual! Christian Guitar style Is very unique!
No wayyyy. Finally !
His hand is the fret wrap.
Maestro
That solo... Fuckin' GENIUS!
Man i learned a new lick and my forearm twitched for a week, hope you get better man I respect you very much.
Christian is 1# he is the best
Simply pressing repeat after the playthrough doesn't do this justice... I always need to rewind manually that's how awesome this is.
insane
it sound so good
Awesome
Enjoy your life Chris my friend. I am also the chosen one. Have a good night. I hope you have a good life too and I mean that from one neoclassical guitarist to the next.

Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for more
