I love the attitude of not keeping secrets, teaching your tricks to everyone else for them to enjoy. I'm not a big fan of his band, but this makes me have big respect.
his ibanez is based from S series wich is very light. Im ever did nearly as him with my schecter guitar, and the normal strings are strong enough to counterback against the tremolo pressure
"I hope you had fun, and had a good laugh." THAT'S why I love these guys. They don't care about the "grrr I'm so angry I hate the world ANGER" aspect of metal, they just do what they love and love what they do.
The reason that Herman Li is able to pull out the whammy bar during his solos is because the whammy he uses has a rough brush-like end that allows the bar to be both pulled out easily when needed and yet still stay in solidly when inserted back in.
Herman Li is so fucking talented. He is seriously one of the best ever. I don't know what he's been up to lately but I hope he gets more or his solos out there beucase he's a guitar phenom
Clever little tricks! I however don't have whammy,however,that's not stopping me from experimenting with various ways of getting intersting sounds! I play many world instruments,so one fun trick I've been toying with is a wah peddal on an electric sitar! :D
Holy shit American be shitting on him because he plays rock n roll and he's Asian. People need to not be racist with these stuff. You guys need to check out Asians playing rock. X Japan's Hide is a good guitarist you could check it. But serously though stop dissing on people if they are not better then what u think they are. Just apreciate it. You can talk shit all you want once you play for a big audience and stuff. But being a musician is about having fun not competition.
Scoot Cawthon Still what.......It's free Will so live your life to the fullest. All these words are just mean less and stupid. Live your life and don't worry about people getting to sensitive over man made words. :)
@@Max-dr6rz The title for this video previously used to be "Chinese Guitarman" before the uploader changed it to "Herman Li explains video game sound effects on guitar".
Chozzenn ESPECIALLY live. Dragonforce can't play live worth a shit. It's all studio shit. Petrucci at least can actually play what he writes in real life lol
***** watch?v=6nqDgIX_H2U I disagree. That's live and it's amazing. Both guitars very clean in both the rhythms AND the solo's. This whole hating on Dragonforce thing has got to stop. Stupid kids like yourself think it' cool to hate....
He's my 3rd favourite guitarist (right after Van Halen and Slash). THe guy is amazing. Im gonna be seeing him at a guitar workshop next Monday. Gonna get my Gibson Les Paul Standard signed by him. Dreams do come true. lol
Herman!...you the man. I'd been looking at a few ibanez guitars and noticed a few Heman Li models, had no idea he was one of the wickedest guit fiddlests I've heard in ages. He's funny too
I agree with most of these comments... 1. Herman is a great guitarist which is VERY underrated 2. Plays in a bad which only has 1 good song (new band please) 3. Style of playing guitar is unique and kicks ASS!
It's from Death Alley Driver by Rainbow (Ritchie Blackmore), it´s literally the intro. There's another version of the motorbike sound, by Motley Crue: Kickstart my Heart
Uh, he uses a special Ibanez model that was made specifically for him. If he breaks it, he can get another with the tons of money from their shows. He's also got a custom Ibanez 8-string, I believe.
He's also been a guitarist longer than slipknot has been around. And Herman's also listed off idols of his own in the past. I don't have the list but you can find it. Regardless, without Slipknot Dragonforce would still have happened. Slipknot is not some goddly band that created genres and is responsible for everyone getting into metal. That's just how it works.
He's playing an instrument called the guitar - making some funny noises on it. Just type 'guitar' into any search engine and it will give you some info on what it is. Should be a good starting point.
waaaay too many people hate on this guy. You dont have to say that he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but theres no way you can deny that this dude can shred...
I love the attitude of not keeping secrets, teaching your tricks to everyone else for them to enjoy. I'm not a big fan of his band, but this makes me have big respect.
It hurts my soul to see him lift his guitar up by the whammy bar
i know what thou feelest
He has enough money to get a new one. Haha.
his ibanez is based from S series wich is very light. Im ever did nearly as him with my schecter guitar, and the normal strings are strong enough to counterback against the tremolo pressure
No matter who you are, no matter what you do, There’s always an Asian better than you.
Bryce Czirr so true. 😪😂
@Bryce Czirr Asian women have more narrow vaginas than European
Killing the Guitar, part I
You're sick
"I hope you had fun, and had a good laugh."
THAT'S why I love these guys. They don't care about the "grrr I'm so angry I hate the world ANGER" aspect of metal, they just do what they love and love what they do.
Holy shit that motorbike noise sounded so realistic, that was brilliant :-)
This has 12 year already?? I'm old man haha.
I don't listen to Dragonforce but this is still cool
Error 404. Ears not found
You look like Kurt
not only does he do his own own stunts, he also does his own sound effects
2:38: Epilepsy
i lold so hard
+Riefky KC jasjdaghsdjhasajadsjashdjajajajaja :')

"Chinese guitarman" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I spit up some coffee when I saw that was the file name. haha!
That's what makes DragonForce special
Dan Johnson when
Dan Johnson is racist
Just remember when first rock n roll band was asian people..
Look at the tièlman brother

someone call the cops!! he's raping the guitar XD
Dude, he shouldn't be playing in a band...
He should totally be in business, with the best sound effects in movies.
Clever little tricks! I however don't have whammy,however,that's not stopping me from experimenting with various ways of getting intersting sounds! I play many world instruments,so one fun trick I've been toying with is a wah peddal on an electric sitar! :D
He is a hong kong boi
But hes accent was a brìttish boi
The way how you wrote British disappoints me
Luke does vids that’s because the Brittish are so irrelevant no one knows how to spell it.
I love how herman imitates the noise with his mouth as he does them.
There is no such thing as best guitarist ever, But there is such thing as a favorite!
It looks like SteveT was inspired here 😁
totally amazing..I bet you can't do that on guitar hero..
The Mad Bomber..
Değeri bilinmeyen gitaristlerden bir tanesi sen büyük adamsın herman abi
the motorbike noise is kick ass XD
1:45 a wallpaper of slipknot, is my hero !!!!!
That fucking title is racist as fuck but its hilarous 😂
HAHA! Yeah this kfpostman guy is probably just ignorant and uneducated...
David A why are people so fucking sensitive nowadays? Can't even call someone chinese now without being racist? He is Chinese....
Elliot Tregoning I know. He is chinese and british. I was just saying, the title, "Chinese Guitarman" is hilarious.
Wayne Hedd I know, right???
I saw Brad Gillis years ago making a sound of a car changing ⚙️ gears.. this video reminds me of Brad
give him credit: you can tell he is really enjoying messing around like this. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

+Scoot “New PC” Cawthon Last time i check, Power Metal is part of the Rock and Roll family tree. :)
Scoot Cawthon Still what.......It's free Will so live your life to the fullest. All these words are just mean less and stupid. Live your life and don't worry about people getting to sensitive over man made words. :)
Scoot Cawthon Oh god!!!! I'm sorry for my second comment. My second comment was meant for someone else. Sorry dude. :) Forget about my second comment.
x Japan is really good
2:22 did you see Slipknot poster in the background?
wow, those are some crazy effects :O
Holly crap.. This video from 2006😀 why in the world RUclips recommend me this now, not years ago 😂 ... I miss my youth 😩
0:00 fight fire with fire ending riff
"i hope u guys had a good fun" lmao his accent
One of the first videos I saw on RUclips
2:25 this is literally the intro of "Death Alley Driver", I think he got it from Ritchie Blackmore =)
Herro dis is Herman ree! -_-
this is so racist on so many levels, but it is still one of the best comments i have seen
2:32 slipknot poster... very nice
can't stop laughing while watching hermans face at the third try for the elefant noise. he rocks hehe!
I had a good fun, thanks for asking
2019?
WTF the title makes me laugh. Come on why must "Chinese Guitarman"? 😂
What do you mean?
@@Max-dr6rz The title for this video previously used to be "Chinese Guitarman" before the uploader changed it to "Herman Li explains video game sound effects on guitar".
Adam Cederblad Hahahaha, wtf, that’s fucked. 😂👌🏼
GEEZUS !! That totally sounded like a real motorbike :-O
this takes "so stupid that its funny" to a WHOLE new level
Eu vi esse álbum lá no canto... ESTRANHO!!! Herman Li faz esses solos de Power Metal e nunca se cansa... Muito Legal!!!
That ''Chinese guitarman'' has name
Yeah, Chinese Guitarman
Louis Minett yeah.... chinese guitar man.... yeah
Hamarn Ri?
Louis Minett Herman Li I think
HAMAN RIII!!
hey WTF those Elephant and Motorbike noises are just AWESOME
i`m gonna try them myself when i buy the guitar
Holy shit the motorbike one BLEW MY MIND!!!
2:36 *triggered*
THIS IS SO OLD!!!
at the end of the breaking the string thing, it sounds like the guitar is crying and saying please stop :DD
Herman Lee is still awesomely awesome :D
Its cool how in the beginning of through the fire and the flames he lifts the guitar and whammy's it.
Poeple, go hear some Symphony X or Dream Theater man.
hes better then the guitarists in symphony x and dream theater cx dream theater just has odd time signatures.
Chozzenn ESPECIALLY live. Dragonforce can't play live worth a shit. It's all studio shit. Petrucci at least can actually play what he writes in real life lol
***** Completely agree, its publicity, nothing else, Herman Li can be cool as hell but as guitarist his totally a crap with a bunch of bugs (fans).
*****
watch?v=6nqDgIX_H2U I disagree. That's live and it's amazing. Both guitars very clean in both the rhythms AND the solo's.
This whole hating on Dragonforce thing has got to stop. Stupid kids like yourself think it' cool to hate....
i hear dragonforce, dream theater, symphony x, yngwie malmsteen, paul gilbert, liquid tension experiment, and many more. and i love them all. so?
To think I used to think this was impressive.
Looks like an Ibanez S series.
Also why'd you post this in reply to my comment?
Yes, i also used to think this was impressive. But one thing that never change; the fun of attempting this on guitar.
"So that was, um, changing gear and I guess skidding and CRASH AND BURN"
This man is a legend of guitar!
that title is so racist in so many levels
how is it racist all it says is Chinese guitar man. It's not like he's saying herman is bad
Tyreek Murillo well this is wong on somany levels
it's not really racist though it's not like he's saying shitty Chinese guitarist
true
Look at David Rosas' comment. "Herro dis is Herman ree! -_ -"? Now THAT'S racist.
chinese? he is from Hong Kong '-'
+Sans the Skeleton What?...
+Sans the Skeleton wow, i'm a dumb '-' Kill me, please😓😭
herman li is awsome XD nice guy to met him today along with the rest of the guys the rest are awsome aswell :)
16 years ago, huh.
That's wild
And Herman still looks the same
The guy is having fun. That's all I need to know. He loves what he does. Go Herman.
"..we give it video game names...because its cool" the look on his face xD
yeah, his family moved to England when he was very young.
The 'break your string' noise will take the freakin' tremello system outta your guitar.
Adrian Belew created the elephant noise
Let's hear it for EVH for inventing all these effects years before this guy appeared
He's my 3rd favourite guitarist (right after Van Halen and Slash). THe guy is amazing. Im gonna be seeing him at a guitar workshop next Monday. Gonna get my Gibson Les Paul Standard signed by him. Dreams do come true. lol
Herman!...you the man.
I'd been looking at a few ibanez guitars and noticed a few Heman Li models, had no idea he was one of the wickedest guit fiddlests I've heard in ages.
He's funny too
herman lee just bein awesome
he has got a slipknot wallpaper, one of my favourite guitarist and one of my favourite groups. Cool
LMAO the motor bike was hilarious
I agree with most of these comments...
1. Herman is a great guitarist which is VERY underrated
2. Plays in a bad which only has 1 good song (new band please)
3. Style of playing guitar is unique and kicks ASS!
Okay now that was the motorbike noise, the elephant noise, now this is the brown noise ;)
Thanks to Herman Li, I now know how Adrian Belew made the elephant noise on guitar!
The elephant never gets old.
"we make all kinds of crazy noises.. and we give em video game names... because.. thats cool y'know"
Hahah the motorbike noise when he looks like he just jizzed!!! hah
lolz i like the motor bike noise, that actually sounds cool
The crash and burn part still makes me laugh.
The motor sound sounds awesome.
It's from Death Alley Driver by Rainbow (Ritchie Blackmore), it´s literally the intro.
There's another version of the motorbike sound, by Motley Crue: Kickstart my Heart
He acts like he was the first person to think of these noises.
he lives a good life.
" that was uhm changing gear, and i guess skiding and crash and burn" Its funny cause its a metaphore for his career!
I don't care what people say, Herman Li is fucking awesome.
Motorbike noise is the awesomeness
i feel like to invite herman for lunch one day, he seems like a cool guy lol!
Hey eight years ago today. Insane.
Herman Li, now teaching how to abuse your floating bridge.
That epephant noise is something Eddy Van Halen was doing in the 70's....
Uh, he uses a special Ibanez model that was made specifically for him. If he breaks it, he can get another with the tons of money from their shows. He's also got a custom Ibanez 8-string, I believe.
moter bike sounds like kickstart my heart
@silver. you must be a K-Pop Lover friend.
Lmao, this doesn't need parodies
He's also been a guitarist longer than slipknot has been around. And Herman's also listed off idols of his own in the past. I don't have the list but you can find it. Regardless, without Slipknot Dragonforce would still have happened. Slipknot is not some goddly band that created genres and is responsible for everyone getting into metal. That's just how it works.
Notice how he says "I hope guitarist are watching this"
He's playing an instrument called the guitar - making some funny noises on it. Just type 'guitar' into any search engine and it will give you some info on what it is. Should be a good starting point.
A Hong Kong dude with a British accent that lives in America with a horse mane...beast.
this is one of the best guitarist of this century
"You call that the elephant noise?" (I can remember some unknown guy Eddie van Halen who has exactly the same noise..... )
waaaay too many people hate on this guy. You dont have to say that he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but theres no way you can deny that this dude can shred...
