One of the hardest songs and definitely hardest solos ever. Just one take at live and flawless performance. He really is one of the best (if not the best) guitarists in the world. So underrated.

In Wintersun catalogue this is one of, if not the easiest songs. It was the first Wintersun song i learned on guitar and after learning most of their stuff there are WAY harder songs. Quick edit, this performance is not flawless, Teemu does mistakes here.

@@kookoo9235 It is as flawless as live performances can usually be. Just look any other guitar heroes, and most of them are quite sloppy at live, no where near this clean and precise. But which songs are much harder than this?

​@@NightwishArena Only truly tricky part in this song is the riff before and after solo, if you want to make it sound right it takes some time to get down. For example, Battle against time with the main riff alone trumps this song in difficulty if you want to get everything correctly. Starchild, do i even need to god damn explain? Winter madness at parts is VERY frustrating especially with Jari's style of playing, much more than this song. And i've actually seen Teemu play this flawlessly live and i mean without single mistake unlike here. Don't go calling it flawless if it is not flawless. EDIT: apparently i was commenting under the assumption this video was actually beyond the dark sun which in fact is one of the easiest ones among Wintersun tracks. This is winter madness which would actually be truly one of the more frustrating ones at times. I wonder how high i had been at the time but yes, this is in fact a mother fucker to learn and you're correct Nightwish Arena.

@@kookoo9235 So you did listen this track and you also told that it's one of the easiest songs from Wintersun, still you didn't realize that it's Winter Madness. Not Beyond the Dark Sun? You also made comparison between Winter Madness and this song, Winter Madness, smh.

His picking is VERY similar to Michael Angelo Batio. Extremely clean and economical. No wasted movements

One of the cleanest picking you will ever see

He is so clean and precise, jesus...

This is Winter Madness, not Beyond the Dark Sun

He is really one with the guitarr

And of course he's doing it while headbanging in their live shows Absolute monster

And today is part of MEGADETH

He is too goo! Also who the heck make their songs intentionally so complicated (you gotta love the pain in your fingers).

Another guitarist worth checking is Luca Stricagnoli. He's not known for extremely fast playing but his technique is second to none. I would recommended checking out video titled "KILL BILL (The Lonely Shepherd) - Luca Stricagnoli | Reverse Slide Neck | Fingerstyle Guitar"

Thanx for the video, you freezed couple times totally lol .) More Wintersun?

🇫🇮🇫🇮😊

if you watch his right hand you get what is good economy of picking, i just hope to reach that one day.

the title is wrong...its " Winter Madness" not "Beyond the dark Sun"

PG still rules the shred guitar community.

This is Winter Madness, fix the video title please

Yo dude...not Beyond the dark sun...it's Winter Madness from the same Wintersun - Wintersun album.

What exactly is your contribution uploading this mistitled video?

He executes perfectly but where’s the risk or excitement in watching anyone play something they’ve rehearsed? EVH, Yngwie, and a lot of the inventors and originators of this style improvised right off the cuff and I’ll just never be able to care about canned guitar solos. Sure you can play more over-the-top technical stuff but still people mostly just play unimaginative, simplistic fast scales and arpeggios that people were already doing in the early 80s. I remember being 11 years old and practicing all the licks from the Paul Gilbert REH and getting them down over a period of days or weeks. ‘Technical’ music isn’t amazing because surely you can play it slowly and just speed it up over a little time. There’s no mystery how it’s done. Look at all the umpteen million shredders there are now, that proves it’s not hard and ANYONE can do it. In fact you get a strong nerd vibe because nerds by definition excel at obsessive, repetitive activities. Nerds are not metal. None of the metal in the 80s was played by nerds, it was exciting because it was being performed by people who seemed extraordinarily cool and that was a big part of the mystique. Yngwie was very cool. But imagine some egghead kid could do a pretty good impersonation 40 years later, that’s no longer cool. Teemu plays memorized solos. Christian Munzner told me he sucks at improvising. Really, dude? If kids would work on improvising, they will get better and better over the entire course of their lives! If they work hard, they might even be able to play something cool when they get older, like really great jazz. This resurgence of the shred craze is going to play out just like it did before. Because it’s obnoxious and stupid, people are going to get sick of it and see through the gimmickry and then it will be seen as lame. I grew up shredding in the 80s but I’m older and I’ve a lot of experience as an in-demand jazz player, and I teach too. I get a good number of ultra over-the-top technical metal shredders as students and their glaring weaknesses get instantly exposed the very second they step into our world. They can’t improvise, they can’t think and play at the same time. If all you’ve ever practiced is fast scales and tabs from the internet, you’re going to feel like a fool when you find out how much more you have to learn. Shredding scale and arpeggio sequences also gives people ego problems because it creates a false sense of great superiority and accomplishment. I’d like to see these ‘virtuosos’ try to play something that’s actually difficult and challenging. I could play Racer X, Testament, Dream Theater etc perfectly as a young kid in middle school but when I tried improvising on jazz standards in college I was quickly crushed by all the other students and I realized I had been a fool. These guys were WAY more advanced, knew three times as much theory, had most of the Real Book memorized, and had a far superior sense of intervals, melodicism, and swing feel. EVENTUALLY I figured it out but it was hard and I realized my ‘shred virtuoso skills’ had been greatly impeding me, and that’s even though I had been improving on metal since day one.

they're unimaginative autists and psychopaths (i'm from this generation kind of i'm 28) , everything you said is true.
