Hey folks!
I did a cover on this song,
original tempo is 180 bpm I think
tho I played at around 215 bpm,
it's more fun but still you can understand
everything that has been played, at least I hope so!

How do I get such speed in my fingers ???
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 21 2009, 10:56 PM
It's ONLY practicing and there is no magic tricks, stay safe and thanks all!!

DUDE!!!!! Your right hand looks like a hummingbird flapping its wings.... 
Was that all AP.....If it was......KAZOO PLEASE!!
Muris.....Are you taking requests? If you are I'd love to see you do this tune.....I even have a backing track for you. 
I'd love to see how you approach the tapping licks....no big deal for you I know...but it would still be cool.

Will think of something Monte but right now I need REAL rest
cause I feel comfortably numb indeed. (Roger Waters quote)
Yeah, AP all the way.

how do u keep calm when u record a video because i can play something perfectly but when I record, i mess up 1000 times?

Some day you can do it for me.
I was gonna post my take on your AP etude.....but after seeing that I'm gonna spare myself the embarrassment.

I was gonna post my take on your AP etude.....but after seeing that I'm gonna spare myself the embarrassment. Oh no, you are Not gonna get away that easy Monte,
post your take RIGHT NOW!!!
I guess the idea is not to think of recording at all,
you have to be 100% in what you play and not that much around.

Sounded like the bumble bee on nitrous oxide... Just awesome feel for whatever you play Muris. Thanks again for the motivation! It would be cool to see that AJ cover!

Makes me wonder why I get proud about some of my guitar achievements
Posted by: Carlos Carrillo Apr 22 2009, 12:03 AM
very cool videos guys! Muris,you are a great guitar player!!
Posted by: purple hayes Apr 22 2009, 12:19 AM

Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 22 2009, 12:58 AM
Well, at least I hope this might give
an extra practicing boost to many of you,
do NOT think negative about you or your skills!
Posted by: lcsdds Apr 22 2009, 01:02 AM
To be honest I don't think it was really Muris's skillz....I think it was his "magic MK" that he has on loan. How much did say that MK was Muris......and what is shipping to Oregon?
Posted by: UncleSkillet Apr 22 2009, 01:10 AM
Ok, that was great Muris!
Now I am going to curl up into the corner, suck on my thumb, look at my guitar and wonder why its taken me this long to play 32 note at 85bpm.
Awesome man, just awesome
Posted by: Artemus Apr 22 2009, 02:42 AM
Muris:
For goodness sake! STOP IT
I'm not going to watch any more videos of you playing with flawless technique and musicianship.
It's RUINING what little ego I have left!!
Haha
Seriously though, that was fantastic playing and it's encouraging to hear you humbly say that this is down to hard work and it is inspiring to watch.
Posted by: Ramiro Delforte Apr 22 2009, 03:18 AM
Awsome playing Muris....as always...
I love those videos you post like the take on Fives. Keem them comming
Posted by: Roadside Apr 22 2009, 05:18 AM
Great take, Muris, I really enjoyed this one. Keep´em coming
Posted by: Bondy Apr 22 2009, 06:41 AM
Awesome Muris, just picked my jaw up of the floor.
Posted by: AlexLion Apr 22 2009, 07:20 AM
Quoting Skillet - Petrucci can suck on his thumb...! That`s almost hilarious to watch Now i think i will sleep less because of you I need to practise!
Posted by: Velvet Roger Apr 22 2009, 07:20 AM
Incredible playing!

Great take, this is what I call shred, fast but clean and accurate.
Posted by: Canis Apr 22 2009, 02:55 PM
Awesome beyond awesome, as always
Posted by: Tolek Apr 22 2009, 03:55 PM
an extra practicing boost to many of you,
do NOT think negative about you or your skills!
That´s what it gave to me! Every video that I see from you motivates me so much and confirms my passion to guitar.
Thanks, Muris! Awesome video, as I said already 2 times!
Posted by: Canis Apr 22 2009, 04:18 PM
I just want to quote this perticular line, because it's so correct!
These videos make me feel like "Wow, in some years I could be there!"

Wow, Awesome playing Muris!
How did you learn that? From tab? or by ear? If by tab, can you post a link to the tab you used.
Posted by: Matt23 Apr 22 2009, 04:33 PM
That was incredibly fast. I'm surprised your strings didn't start to melt.

Naah, sure not from tab. He improvised with it even a bit
Because Muris is unbelievably good
Posted by: berko Apr 22 2009, 04:39 PM
I hope that the MK you are playing on now will inspire you to make some more awesome covers... maybe jamming over Comfortably Numb... 
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 22 2009, 05:01 PM
Briliant performance Muris! Its amazing how clean your playing is , even on this tempo!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Apr 22 2009, 05:15 PM
*Meltdown Complete*!!!!

I'm selling all my guitars.
Posted by: sted Apr 22 2009, 05:38 PM

Posted by: AlexLion Apr 22 2009, 05:44 PM
How much for all?

Thank you!!
I actually learned this song like 14 years ago (by ear, yeah
)but not entirely tho, I didn't know the ending so I took music score (not the tab)
to see what's going on in there.
Many players use different fingerings and positions all around the neck
and so I did the same, adapted it to myself.
Posted by: Marc_Maiden Apr 22 2009, 08:08 PM
pffffft i can do that 10x faster with my eyes closed!
wait.
no i cant
great take! flawless as usual
Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Apr 22 2009, 10:36 PM
Absolutely breath taking!! Amazing work Muris!!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Apr 22 2009, 10:45 PM
wow unbelievable - every note so clean and fast...you're the man Muris!
Posted by: Sergio Dorado Apr 22 2009, 11:00 PM
Muris, you know you´re my master
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 22 2009, 11:17 PM
Appreciate it guys.
Posted by: MickeM Apr 23 2009, 09:08 AM
haha oh man!! Dropped my jaw! And I think most people would be so happy if they could play that at the original speed... you increased the bpm!?!
That was a fantastic performance, flawless
Posted by: vampire18 Apr 23 2009, 10:20 AM
amazing. though i gotta say, its refreshing to see that its actually hard for you play it, your human after all!
simply amazing

It was heavy battle indeed, cheers.

Hey,
Why dont you make lesson out of it?
Posted by: David Wallimann May 4 2009, 06:20 PM
That was wonderfully sick Muris!
Was that all alternate picking?
It sounds like it but didn't see your right hand move that much..
Posted by: lcsdds May 4 2009, 06:21 PM
Was that all alternate picking?

It's because they don't make a camera that can keep up with his right hand.
Posted by: Fran May 4 2009, 06:55 PM
Wow, how did I miss this thread? that was just insane Muris, I bet you could type the "Quijote" in 5 minutes with those fingers of yours
Awesome.
Posted by: Muris Varajic May 4 2009, 09:18 PM

I think Jan Bushel already booked this piece, pretty long ago tho.

Thanks David!
Regular AP all the time but seems like my camera misses few extra fps,
it is blurred.
Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic May 4 2009, 09:20 PM
Awesome, and arrangement is very good, fresh.
I can't remember what was petrucci's tempo for his take on bumblee...
Posted by: AlexLion May 4 2009, 09:26 PM

Something about 230 or 240 if I remember that right, but jeez I`m pretty sure Muris can kick Petrucci`s ass
Posted by: ErikEklund May 4 2009, 09:37 PM
One word, Insane
Posted by: Muris Varajic May 5 2009, 02:10 PM
Thanks guys!
Not sure of tempo Petrucci used tho,
he also rearranged it a lot if I remember correctly, changed lots of notes/ kind of improvised,
gonna search his take on Youtube.
It's the one from a concert, there is no studio version, right?
Posted by: kjutte May 7 2009, 03:56 PM
Lol, this is so crazy
