I jjst fucking love your tone, man. Awesome. Great feel to your playing, too. I also play 100% by ear, and I can appreciate a tough job when I hear one (I'm nt quite through figuring some parts out myself...but it's coming...) and this is pretty dead-on. Nice job with the solo, too - the stop-and-start at the end was something else, I love that bit. Good job and ciao from Montreal, Canada
wow chin i still can't get over how you manage to get better and better i remember the good old days when we'd chill at your house and you'd play random songs like chapter four and etc, :P -Sean-
amazing man.. keep up.. that solo blew my mind.. played it with ease.. and i did enjoy it very much... 2nd time watching it now cheers.. you inspire me to keep playing guitar :D
haha good luck, it's a fun piece, and yea I used the download video, you can see him playing in D standard, his intro riffs are played around the 5,6,7th frets
at download this year i tihnk he was playing it drop D but what the fuck ever man yours was amazing! im going to cover this one soon too just gotta get past the learning part first:P
I remember watching your first videos and thinking yeah he's awesome, I found Mirrelia a while ago and fell in love with them instantly! When I found out you were in it.....I was mind fucked! haha epic cover :D
i am trying to learn the unison in the second verse 2:59 .... i having trouble playing it up to speed i can only play it at 75% speed. im not the best at alternate picking, is alternate picking the best way to do this....any tips....
This is just amazing!! Great job, what amp do you use? And, how do you get your guitar sound (which kicks ass) level with the actual song, did you direct record to your computer or something? O, and how long have you been playing?
Dude that was stellar. Dude tackle a dream theater song with a seven string like The Mirror, or The Glass Prison , or The Shattered Fortress or fuck even A Change of Seasons ! haha
i only see one problem and isee it with fellow musicians too is the vibrato, if you keep your thumb on the neck when you vibrato you will have way more control and it wont be so blunt.
Hey chin I've been a fan of your videos for some time and was wondering how you got such a good tone for recording out of your gt-8. I currently use a gt-10 and my tone comes nowhere near yours ;x Great cover and thanks if you reply.
Heya SJ, I have a challenge for you! I'd love to hear a cover of "Panic Attack" from you. It's also by dream theatre, it was featured in rockband 2, and is a bitch to play whether in real life or in the game. Great cover though.
hmm, to be honest, im not that great with tones either, I developed a tone about a year back and every now and then I've just been spending hours at a time on it improving it, not sure exactly how
The Best cover of this song ! Respect!
All by ear? That is astonishing! You are one of my guitar idols man. Each and every one of your videos appalls me.
Absolutely brilliant!! Only started listening to DT recently and this is one of my favourite songs so far and you certainly did it justice!
I jjst fucking love your tone, man. Awesome. Great feel to your playing, too.

Awesome job Chin, top notch once again. Sweet song too, holy jeez! Keep it up.
Very nice played and also very nice tone. My respect for doing this by ear.
Thats crazy learning that solo by ear....
Amazing :)
Good to see you back. Awesome as always.
0:33 goddamn monster squeaaaaal lmao awesome work man
Excelent work !!! Awesome !!!
I agree, Colors is probably my favorite album ever. Got it on it's release date.
wow chin i still can't get over how you manage to get better and better i remember the good old days when we'd chill at your house and you'd play random songs like chapter four and etc, :P -Sean-
amazing man.. keep up.. that solo blew my mind.. played it with ease..
and i did enjoy it very much... 2nd time watching it now
cheers.. you inspire me to keep playing guitar :D
@BadReligion93 The guitar in the backround is the acutual guitarist for Dream Theater. He never took it out.
Great performance!
Just awesome! Keep it up!
that solo was amazing!!!
awesome cover! :) and 2 + for your guitar, and your Les Paul in the background :p
OMG ! Spectacular cover
i can't think of a face to make that's worthy of anything you play!!! your fucking amazing man
The best part of the cover is the solo, awesome!
Holy shit dude. You'll probably never see this, but you are incredible
Of course I see it man. Thank you!
amazing solo!
Really, really good job man :) My favourite cover from you so far :P
You are verry good thanks fore the inspiration.
5 Stars !!!!!!!!
More Dream Theater! Sick cover man
haha good luck, it's a fun piece, and yea I used the download video, you can see him playing in D standard, his intro riffs are played around the 5,6,7th frets
at download this year i tihnk he was playing it drop D but what the fuck ever man yours was amazing! im going to cover this one soon too just gotta get past the learning part first:P

man thats a sick song, i wish i had the ability to sit down and learn something like that by ear...
Awesome cover man!
love it man!
Brilliant.
That is a friggin awesome shirt!
crazy good.
Awesome
Very nice
Very Good!!!!!!!!
i am trying to learn the unison in the second verse 2:59 .... i having trouble playing it up to speed i can only play it at 75% speed. im not the best at alternate picking, is alternate picking the best way to do this....any tips....
Very well played bro! (:
Great job man! Keep it up! =D
real nice man
awesome job keep up the good work! nice guitar by the way treat her well :D
Great legato on the solo.
Muito. Bom
Damn... love the solo around 6:00
5:18 asian mode activated :D
This is just amazing!! Great job, what amp do you use? And, how do you get your guitar sound (which kicks ass) level with the actual song, did you direct record to your computer or something? O, and how long have you been playing?
Hey, how did you(he) do that little trill at around 1:57 (reach a higher state/lay the corner stone) part
agree, especially in the chorus
is this a 6 string? im looking for a full tab for this song (not guitar pro) for a 6 string!
Dude that was stellar. Dude tackle a dream theater song with a seven string like The Mirror, or The Glass Prison , or The Shattered Fortress or fuck even A Change of Seasons ! haha
astonishing... Petrucci would be proud
what string gages do you use to get such less buzzing on opens strings?
i only see one problem and isee it with fellow musicians too is the vibrato, if you keep your thumb on the neck when you vibrato you will have way more control and it wont be so blunt.
you're really talented
completely agree, this kid is a fucking legend in the making
i gave thumbs up, you're a hero.
video is cool too haha
how did this cover compare to previous btbam and pth ones?
Hey chin I've been a fan of your videos for some time and was wondering how you got such a good tone for recording out of your gt-8. I currently use a gt-10 and my tone comes nowhere near yours ;x Great cover and thanks if you reply.
Your guitar can have a lot to do with that too. My guitar can have the action set very very low with no string buzz on D'Addario 9s.
i think that for about almost any song i've tried to learn and now i have given up all hope and just worked on my technique's instead lol
Hey. If you ever get a chance, would you possibly mind tabbing this? All the tabs out suck haha.
The fact that he always does these as one continuous take (must be a bitch for a song with a solo like this one) is what amazes me most.
holy shittttt, insane
thanks thanks, and yea, if I could, I probably would but I don't really know how to do that lol
Damn you're freakin good!! how the hell did you make that solo out by ear?! and how long did that take you? Great job, anyways. Rock on.
You should try The Dance Of Eternity by Dream Theater that would be awesome :)
whats that guitar in the background? :o
Crazy leet as usual!! Have you heard Obfuscation yet its fuckin intense.
Heya SJ, I have a challenge for you!
I'd love to hear a cover of "Panic Attack" from you.
It's also by dream theatre, it was featured in rockband 2, and is a bitch to play whether in real life or in the game.
Great cover though.
@d1337n00b Nah. Its D Standard. You can tell by some open notes in the solo.
Oh god, do i see a soothsayer cover on way?
hmm, to be honest, im not that great with tones either, I developed a tone about a year back and every now and then I've just been spending hours at a time on it improving it, not sure exactly how
awesome possum
what kind of guitar is that?
and if you just want pure brutalness, check out silent cirucs. so hard, yet hinted at genial melodies that were yet to come
good times good times :)
great! :D
solo was fucking sick keep it up man
fucking amazing
GOD MODE ACTIVATED
oh yeah
do you use 10 gauge or thicker?
wat amp u use?
Fucking awesome tone. Subscribed.
YEAH DT RULES !
chin why dont you try covering Testament - Return To Serenity its a great song and there isn't many good covers of youtube..
I agree with 0Eternalis0, you should cover Dream Theater's Panic Attack.
i fuckin love protest the hero.
Why don't you use the Les Paul more frecuently?
Yeah the ratio needs to be fixed. And is it just me or is it a little off sync? looks like audio is a little bit behind the video
i cant believe you learned that solo by ear
Brutalz
when i first heard this song i thought it would of been easy to play besides the solo but i think differently now
Can you maybe put out a lesson on this song please? :).. or just tabs :D
are you sure its d standard? i thought it was just drop d
that vibrato is yummy
holy moly. it is true. that solo is raeped.
Learn the synth part on the guitar imo :>
You could get a record label easy. Keep being a beast, man.
@ 2:38 EPIC
