- Artist: Symphony X. Track: In The Dragon's Den. Album: Twilight In Olympus. Year: 1998. Cover by: Peter Lidström. Equipment: Fender Strat w Dimarzios, ENGL Ironball, Grossman ISO Cab. Shure sm57, Chandler Germanium preamp. Pedals: Bogner Red channel (org. version), Boss OC-2 Octave, CAE Buffer. Rhythms were tracked in D standard, solos were tracked in E flat to accommodate the Strat's 22 fret limitation. Pitch shifter (octave up) at the end of the keyboard solo was added in mixdown. The lead themes and ending arpeggios were double tracked.
How is it even possible to play so accurately and cleanly
Tons of practice
The best song off of "Twilight in Olympus" and one of the first metal songs I ever heard!
Yngwie + Gilbert + Sherinian (maybe?)+ Becker. Michael Romeo did his homework! (And so did you ;))
This is absolutely killer dude 👌🏽
Awesome to see Michael Romeo's work being featured here.
Utrolig bra! Veldig preist!
Jesus christ. This is cleaner than Romeo himself plays it. I mean every note is so clear it sounds like they just ring out on their own. Insane
Thank you. I might add that my videos are "studio" recordings, meaning I take the time to get parts nice & clean. If I did just one single "live performance" it would not be as clean.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight That is to be expected, that doesn't take away from the fact they are played practically flawlessly. Nice transcription of the keyboard solo as well, and the fact you had patches for all the tone changes was super cool. I imagine you must have done some pro music work?
@@hyde4004 I have a background as active musician and studio engineer. A few records under my belt, yes. Mostly teaching and transcribing nowadays.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Right, fair enough. The experience as a transcriber shows, everything sounded bang on, at least to my ears. Really impressive work!
You're a beast! I always look forward to your updates!
Criminally underrated cover channel
Rock hard! Live free!! Hell yeah bro! Thanks for those btw... Please make more Symphony X covers and all else too! 😁👌
I certainly will!
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Nice!! Thank you! ✌
best cover in youtube of this song far, you're amazing making pedals presets they sound really good and clean
*_Fantástico, tomara que venham muitos vídeos tão bom quantos estes.!!!_* 👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Wonderful, Michel Romeo is very good, my favorite progressive metal band!!! Your interpretation IS AMAZING!!!
Sir, you are a monster player! Romeo is criminally underrated player. Glad you covered this. Are you going to cover Sails of Charon? That would be interesting
Thank you. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. The next upcoming video is an Uli track!
Another Uli track... Cast Away Your Chains I suppose ;)
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight looking forward to some Uli ;)
Love the right hand work here. You could play this unplugged, it would still sound great.
This was so perfect, i clearly was expecting Through the Looking Glass to come in the end!
Awesome work mate!
Thanks and cheers
Dude you straight nailed every solo Romeo did perfectly AND you played Mike Pinella's solo note for note perfectly, I've NEVER seen a guitarist do that before !!!! 🤘🤘
Glad you liked it. Thanks
Beautiful piece of music and beautiful playing
Very impressive. Each note is super clean and easily picked out. You’ve got some serious talent
Phenomenal!
Thank you!
Fantastic! Michael Romeo would be very proud!
Loco sos impresionante!!! gracias por compartir. Como suena esa viola!
Perfect,
Jesus! this looked perfect!
Dale!!! Buen cover con todo el power
Absolutely amazing!
hahah shit that solo is SICK BRO! lets GOOOO
Even did the keys solo hahah yes
Parabéns 👏👏👏
It was wonderful and magnificent. I have no words to describe the beauty of your cover. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words
I don't care if you like this style or not, you have to give the maddest respect to this guy. This is A LOT of work. May I ask how long it took you to learn it and master it to this level? Freaking amazing!!
Thank you! This one i've actually just listened to regularly and taught to my students for years to improve their picking... The only thing I had to sit down and actually learn for this cover was the keyboard solo.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight When I saw you play the keyboard solo I went f#&k yeahh. Well done sir!
yayayayayayayayayayayayayaya TOP
Great!!!
Amazing playing, i really wish i was your student so i can learn to play like this lol
Best🎉🎉
Damn this simply rips!
Unbelievably good. I imagine those are still single coils? Though the description says they're dimarzios. So, so clean. And far better tone than Romeo had in this era. Crisp, clear, still heavy, not piercing. Keep it up cause i want to see more!
Amazing!, I love your videos, they make me want to grab the guitar! greetings from Argentina
That's great, happy to hear that.
That's so sick! In the solo section you've even played the keyboard solo! Thumbs up!
Once again awesome bro. I love your playing. 👍
Thank you, happy to hear that!
Amazing performance!
Thank you!
Insane 🔥🔥🔥
lo mejor q he visto hoy!!
wow
Mind blown…
Carai! Mandou até o solo do teclado 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
gooooooooooooooood agarrate donde puedas!!
THANKY YOU VERY MUCH FOR SYNTH SOLO TRANSCRIPTION ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dreamed of this , and any videos here , no one never made this , you're the first , it's a big pleasure , thank you again , and I love single mike of strato for this solo , i can have a little of malmsteen sound with my favorite guitar player , very good job. Arpeggios are perfect too , thks for this job. I've noticed it's not a really ' single coil ' sound , may be , you have tricked with a dual inside on the rythm sound?
Correct, the bridge pickup (for the riffs) are a single-sized Dimarzio humbucker. The neck is a true single coil.
So killer!🔥🤘🏼
Thank you, Mr. Gower. I love your amp mods, they sound spectacular.
2:33 that has to the most difficult part with the string skipping and ascending riffs. Dammit man!!! My hat is off to you and look forward to you New videos!
Thanks! Yes, those octave skips are crazy.
Wow, man that's fantastic!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight I did, and shared it with my friends and they liked your videos as well .. Keep rocking 🤘🏻
Perfect!
So clean and tasty!
Amazing performance !!! You rock dude !!!
Ugh the string skipping has always been really hard for me. But this video gave me motivation to learn this song for good
fucking brilliant mate. mad respect
Glad you liked it!
This is so brutal 🙉🙉🙉
Amazing!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
great job ;)
Legend says he has to put his fingers on ice after playing this song
wow with strat man...
Really great habilities. Can you play some Tiluland covers please? Tnx!
Freakin Great! What bridge and bridge pickup are you using? Looks like a Gotoh bridge and Chopper pickup
Pretty close, Gotoh vintage bridge + locking tuners, the Dimarzio is a Pro Track which is a bit darker than the chopper.
Romeo is on the list of reasons why I play drums
here come michael remeo wow
Wait...isn't michael double picking in the 2:08 section?
man whenever i listen to this solo i just want to quit guitar
Question how do you handle playing this stuff on a Strat considering a Strat only has 22 frets?
Great question. If I remember correctly, I think I retuned to standard for one of the solos or both, can't remember.
@ClassicSoloSpotlight
Ah I see that's interesting I know there's a couple of ways you can get that extra octave... but omg it's so good to see someone using a Strat it really is the best guitar ever keep up the good work don't mind me drooling over your amazing playing 😜🤘
How do you even learn that? Loved how you took the keyboard part to
Glad you liked it. It's fun playing the keyboard licks, I usually just listen and learn it.
What pick do you use?
Vou rodar o vídeo bem lento pra vê se aprendo 😁😁
Impressive man! Can you share the tabs?
Starting from 3:14 it seems ultra complicated
This song is Deceptively fast as SHIT. He looks relaxed...but it's so fast. I think my technique needs work lol
2:33 Duh... that string skipping....
Perfectly covered. Impressive
Hi, awesome playing 👏🏻. What tremolo system do you have on this guitar? It looks very different where the trem bar inserts.
Thanks. It's a Gotoh 510TS-SF2 bridge, the bar pops in instead of screws in.
@@ClassicSoloSpotlight Thanks for letting me know.
