Chainbrain Oh that is so cool dude. They’re my all time favorite metal band ever. The band that helped me get into heavy metal. Or any of actual power metal for that matter. I tell you if it wasn’t for Dragonforce, I would not have listened to any power metal bands like Helloween, Stratovarious Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Avantasia, Galneryus, Sabaton, Firewind, Nightwish even, Rhapsody Of Fire or any power metal band that I heard, discovered or listened to since I was in high school. Yeah. Dragonforce became the first power metal band and the best kind of heavy metal that I’ve ever heard since I started listening to metal back when I was in middle school I think but it’s been a long time since then so I don’t remember. But I discovered Dragonforce from guitar hero and all of a sudden now they’ve become the number one metal band of all time in my opinion basically.

I met Herman at NAMM a long assed time ago. It just so happened i was standing in front of a blank table that was about to be used for him to sign autographs. So since I was already there and basically at the front of the line on accident. I said fuck it and got myself ready for an autograph. So he shows up, and I ask him "man, I cant even conceive how you play that fast". So Herman says "You want to know the secret to playing fast like that? I'll write it on here with my autograph but you cant show it to anyone ok?". At that point he grabs the flyers he was autographing, signs his name with his secret to playing fast written below it. "Wank More"
Chainbrain just curious but does rock smith actually help you learn how to play guitar? And if so what do you need to have for rock smith to work is it a computer only program? Curious I have a cheap end Ltd guitar and I’ve always wanted to learn to play since I’m a huge metal head but have never been able to sit down to practice or know what exactly to start practicing first. Get discouraged a lot since I want to be able to shred and shit right off the bat lol. Any help would be much appreciated and great video!!!! Love that bc rich v thought about buying one a few years ago but I hate tremolo systems for tuning they are a bitch in my opinion. Had a Ibanez I sold to a friend because it had a tremolo so that’s why I went out and bought a cheap ltd hard tail from amazon.
If you have to try to find it it's because it isn't there. If it was there it would be one of the first one to show up because it'd have like 3k likes or something like that.
Holy shit dude! Herman Li in your stream. You are officially the Lord of guitar in RUclips You completely butchered the song in front of Herman tho. Lol. But I can't do it any better so, respect.
@@Chainbrain It's actually vibrato even, not tremolo. Leo Fender fucked us all up. :P By the way - WHICH guitar is that?! It's beautiful - I adore quilted tops!
To me playing a song you have never done before by sight reading it and getting 84% is freaking amazing. I don't know of any other guitarists that could do it. Having the original artist listening in must have been a real treat. I would have been scared to death. Props for rising to an incredibly difficult challenge and doing it as well as you did.
So... let me get this straight. You just played this crazy fast difficult song by looking at the notes? You never played it before? If so that is incredible!!! Play some David Gilmore solos pls? U got a new subscriber😁
I know I'm late to the party on this video, but seeing you have the nerve to fly blindly through one of the hardest shred songs of all time WHILE ONE OF THE BAND MEMBERS IS WATCHING YOU earned a sub from me. Keep at it dude.
Holy.... I dont go outside sometimes cause I have to put on clothes yet this man plays TTFAF pretty much by sight, in front of Herman Li and his fans, AND EVEN READS TWITCH CHAT. Inspirational.
E-P-I-C ! So happy to learn you have been raided by such an awesome guitar player! And honestly? Taking on THAT song without ever having palyed it before, in front of its creator - THAT takes BALLS! Chain-balls!
What a cool time to be alive. Think about it, you can be playing a video game, shredding on guitar, even in a racing sim and it's quite possible that your idol or an industry expert stops by and WATCHES you. I used to play iRacing and was in races with guys I would watch on Sunday. This would be like if I was in a race and Michael Andretti stopped by my twitch. Just insane.
That was joyous. Pretty amazing stab at it too! Most people would be "Fire and the flames just going by Rocksmith with Herman Li watching? Fuck right off!" :-)
Good on ya brother I would of likely just smashed my les paul even before the song started to save face lol, li is crazy fast and hard to mimic his playstyle but you did great.
Remember when you had only a few hundred subs. I knew you were gonna blow up and wow you deserved it dude. Dedication to what you love and its paying off. P.S how did you not scream when you realised Herman li is watching? 😂
yeh the guy was calm af i was expecting more of a reaction tbh! haha. i play the drums and if i streamed it and neil peart or something stopped by id be like "holy shit!" and probably F up whatever i play next knowing hes watching lol.
Enjoy the new influx of views Chainbrain, this showed up in recommened, also, Herman Li is so cool, I play a game called osu! and he's happy to let DF songs be officially in the game! Awesome guy :D
I admire the guts to keep doing it. I know how hard it must be to have all that in front, but you keep on it until the end. I would frightening quit; this is encouraging.
You did a really good job for the first time playing the song, also talking to chat whilst doing it. Let's hope Rusty Cooley doesn't appear in your stream and ask you to play 'Dark Matter', a song even he has a hard time playing, despite writing it.
All that happened when I Twitch streamed my first try at this song on Rocksmith and got 96% off the bat was ZERO people watching then all the music and my efforts blocked on the playback version of the video... sigh
Hey guys! So this year at TwitchCon I got to meet Herman and DragonForce! Here is the video:

This made me laugh out loud but you just broke his secret dude
Is this real? 😂
YO WHAT THE HELL HAHAHAHA
It’ll have to be the stranger because that’s t hand you use on the neck
If this were true I would be Eddie Van Halen.
Herman Li commented lol when the solo started. He's a savage
hes like lol get READY
Sounds like most people laughed at his performance before but not too many one can actually play it. It's just too freakin hard
7:33 :)
It was in response to the "spray n pray" at 7:10
This whole song is a fucking solo lmao
"lol"- Herman Li
I wonder where you got inspiration for this great comment
"Man plays TTFAF without learning it" somebody should bring kmac here
You keep him the fuck away
Andre Benoit haha, I thought the same! \m/
Lol. Only he can blow a guitar as if its like a bagpipe😂😂😂
kmacs trash
@@yungplague5534 bruh he play better than Steve via jimi Hendrix etc. He is a god
Sorry the editing is kind of mess. I tried to get the Twitch chat in there and ran out of screen space LOL
i think you should try to stream with chat overlay on, it would be better for youtube clips
I thought you put it there to hide the notes you missed.
GOTTEM
@@coffeecheetoschicken I missed all of them
Bro, you'd played like DrunkForce lol while Herman watching

Sight reading TTFAF is pretty good on guitar hero. But fucking ROCKSMITH? This mans is a legend
You should've just made the whammy bar noises with your mouth like usual. 10/10 Chainbraining.

You completely butchered the song in front of Herman tho. Lol.
But I can't do it any better so, respect.
Sightreading solos ain't easy
@@Chainbrain nope it isn't.
I couldn't learn this song if my life depended on it

@@ashuku OOF
he got an 84% wtf are you talking about lol
7:12 "SPRAY AND PRAY" 😂
Revolver Ocelot same.
You mean... with a.ss?
I would have played Slow Ride for him.
conker jones Is I would’ve played the mii maker theme, but it’s the first note.
conker jones come on bro he isn’t trying to embarrass Herman with his skills
I love how Herman Li did a guitar lesson and when he had to slow down to explain how to play it messed his mind up and he could't play it slow.
kind of weird but some guitar stuff feels way harder to do slowly than fast lol
yeah sweep picking im talking about you
“Herman, man, Thank you for the raid dude”
Kermit was on my mind when he said that
Kmac would be proud
I gotta thank Herman Li for getting me to check out your stream! You rock and keep on doing what your doing it’s awesome!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
“I don’t know these songs”
Herman: “I don’t know them either”
Man plays through the fire and the flames without actually learning it
Lmao I love how you pronounced tremolo TREMELLO
+starwolffan13 yeah that word always gets me
@@Chainbrain It's actually vibrato even, not tremolo. Leo Fender fucked us all up. :P
By the way - WHICH guitar is that?! It's beautiful - I adore quilted tops!
@@EvilDragon666 Kiesel Osiris! With an arctic blood finish over quilt 😎
It kind of annoyed me honestly😂 no hard feelings thou
It's a whammy bar, but it could technically be called a vibrato bar. Tremolo is a picking style. ☺
Bahaha! @Chainbrain: "Oh no!!" followed by Herman Li: "lol" @7:24

Your playing was great too!

This reminds me of Kmac's ongoing series "Man plays _____ solo without learning it"
Damn for a REAL sight-read that was so good
This video is going to blow up soon, I can sense it.
I will remember you when I am in Dragonforts
Aaaand... It started. This showed up in my recommended tab and I never knew a dude this cool existed.
Thank you for checking out my video 😎
This is absolutely phenomenal.
Noscope De Pope you called it
I know I'm late to the party on this video, but seeing you have the nerve to fly blindly through one of the hardest shred songs of all time WHILE ONE OF THE BAND MEMBERS IS WATCHING YOU earned a sub from me. Keep at it dude.
I'm a new guy here.. So when I started to watch it was like "okay, let's see some good sounds"
(3 minutes later) this guy is a BEAST! I subscribe!
I can’t hear this song without hearing Through the Tables and the Memes anymore :/
I understand that
same
Whooooaaa! WHOOAAAA! *WHOOOAA* *_AAAAA_*
Through the TABLES and the MEMES we carry on
Yes xD
Imagine learning this as your first song, start at .1x speed and when your good at that go up to .2x and so on.
youtube recommendations actually worked for once you earned a sub my dood.
I appreciate the comment! Thanks a ton!
It's seriously amazing, and frightening that you can play along without ever rehearsing 🤯
I love how theres a galneryus song in the backround and herman li in the chat. My 2 favourite bands
Holy.... I dont go outside sometimes cause I have to put on clothes yet this man plays TTFAF pretty much by sight, in front of Herman Li and his fans, AND EVEN READS TWITCH CHAT. Inspirational.

Naw, they've been incredible live for years now.
Insert obligatory "nah, they got gud now" comment
I haven't watched a ttfaf video and been so awe-inspired for about 7 years. Well, done! And the pressure too!
Sounds like when Herman Li played it when he was drunk! :D
I'm just now seeing this, but man this is epic. You still got your shred on, and lol with Herman saying he doesn't know the songs either.
Haha holy shit dude you’re a beast!
That was joyous. Pretty amazing stab at it too! Most people would be "Fire and the flames just going by Rocksmith with Herman Li watching? Fuck right off!" :-)

Boy hollared Spray and pray WHILE PLAYING throught the fire and flames WITH HERMAN WATCHING
I've never heard anyone say "spray and pray" for guitar. Absolutely hilarous.
That was a very cool moment. Rocksmith is the biggest breakthrough in learning guitar ever.
Holding back tears of joy LUL
Yall both amazing 💙💙

“I’m the greatest guitarist in the world.” - Herman Li
I got to the end of the video, and an add popped up that was just Plini playing through Electric Sunrise, so cool, There's an ad for you. =D
I love coming back to this video 😅
Herman Li is one of the best people to live on this planet i love the man bro

Hey! Thanks for watching the video! I appreciate it :)
"Herman piss off and record the new album" lol
Im more surprised this guy just sightread through the fire and flames
What anime crossover is this?
The full solo section went full Rings of Saturn
Is that flame maple and spalted maple on the top of that guitar? Never seen them combined before, looks really good.
It's just a quilted maple top! It's an arctic finish though. Red that bursts out to white!
Awesome!!! How did you solve the audio lag? Thanks in advance. Damn it's Herman Li!
@chainbrain how did you have your Kiesel configured, it looks amazing! 🤘
As he does, mad lad.
The Doooo laughs at you (just kidding you did great )
The Dooo laughs at all pewny mortals
This was awesome good job considering the actual beast herman li was watching nice chain
Nita Strauss was also very nervous when she had to play 'Perpetual Burn' to Jason Becker (video is in her channel, I believe). We've all been there.
He nailed the last note so thats a win in my book
Badass! And you did a great job on the song! He have any comments for you?
Should have played Through the Tables and Memes.

That is _the_ most badass Kiesel I've ever seen
"I don't know this song guys" continues to tap and sweep pick flawlessly.
Alternative Title: Kermit gets sponsored by Herman Li
This was awesome man.
If Herman says shred.... You start shredding lol.
This is too cool! Btw is your fretboard textured? or is that the grain?
It's a birdseye maple fretboard with a black stain on it!
4:08 he's flippin us off
Ah, the spray-and-pray technique.. you jam well my son, despite all the odds!
I know that feeling of messing up a song so bad but nailing the last note for the feels good lol.
After 8 seasons of trailer park boys, I can confirm this guy is Canadian
NICE! I was watching hermanli on twitch hes one of my favorite guitarists! cant wait for the new album
1:13 OH GOD MY HEART JUST STOPED BEATIN AAAH
Not only did Herman li pop up but so did the yugioh organisation 😂😂
...I mean, I know it's not the most technical song ever written but keeping up with it as well as he did is damn impressive.
Chain collaboration with hermen li 😮
I appreciate your talent, such as it is inconceivable to me. Very entertaining stuff.
I would be losing my shit on that situation, what an honor.
